I have learned that if you don't have a TV, people try to give you one of theirs!  They say, "We have an old one in the basement.  The kids never watch it.  You can have it."   

A friend once asked me to think about this:  What are your priorities in life?  What did you do today?  If the two are different, then you are lying to yourself.  Watching TV is not one of my priorities.
