When all else fails and I don't want to pick up a book, I always check out TV Land.
It's just not better programs, but I tend to go back in my mind when my family would sit around talking and laughing together.
Ahh, sweet memories.......... :thumbsup:

Reality shows and COURT tv --- how many do they need to put on tv?

I'm with BEG...they don't make television like they used to.  :(

I would guess, most of it is scripted some how or some way.....I'm pretty much sick and tired of TV...period...there is not a whole lot on there any more......

I'm sick of reality tv altogether! I watch Big Brother, but really not even that much anymore. I watched it this year only because of my mad crush on Dr. Will Kirby. Otherwise, I'd probably passed like I did on Season 6's shows.

The first ones are entertaining, and then by the time they finally start the real part of it all, I quit watching, but usually get sucked back in a few weeks later.

Pasta...You guys could work together on the weekends and prepare a few pans of lasagna, baked pasta, etc...Stuff you could freeze and pull out to cook for dinner. Plus, cooking with your spouse can be fun! I love it!

That would make way, way too much sense...if we are not out of controll and flying by the seat of our pants....actually that really is a great Idea....we need to start thinking that way....thanks, daisy... :)

That IS a great idea! But, if it involves too much planning  :razz:...they do sell frozen manicotti/stuffed shells/rigatoni  -- just throw your favorite jarred spaghetti sauce on & throw in the oven for 30 minutes! That's what I used to do when we were both working! A box of frozen garlic with cheese Texas Toast & you're ready to go.

Or have your kids each plan a meal night & put it on a calendar! I find it easier to plan a menu ahead of time...it really makes it easier to grocery shop & not buy too many things that aren't necessary!

Ohhh Sunny! Noooo! I can sometimes accept the frozen rigatoni, but at least make your own sauce! Its not hard and its soo much fun! We sometimes get a bottle of wine, pop it open, turn on some jazz or some Sinatra/Martin/Davis music and go bonkers in the kitchen. Pressing garlic is probably one of my favorite things to do in life. It smells so good and taking a big fat knife, turning it sideways and smashing my fist down on the side of the blade to squash the clove...ahh that's therapy right there.


I do like the idea of letting your kids add dinner ideas to the calendar. I'll try that someday, once the thrill of fish sticks and corndog bites wears off...

Okay, okay...I'll become domesticated ONE of these days! LOL! It'll hopefully come along with growing a garden & remodeling our diamond in the rough. And btw, we have a garlic press and it's great! Husband makes a mean Meatloaf & you can mostly smell the garlic while it's baking. YUM!

I have a garlic press too, I just smash them to get the peels off easier before they go in the press.
