Since I have been going to my new gym, I've been watching some shows that I wouldn't normally watch. My favorite "gym shows" are The Ellen Show (when I go in the mornings) and The Big Idea (when I go in the evenings). Since I am usually there for a while, I have to pick from other stuff too. There are 5 TVs and this is usually what is on them: 1-The News, 2-CNBC, 3-More News, 4-Sports, 5-CNN. So, there are my choices. If Larry King is on, that is my first choice, if not then I go with the news. Just a little about me; I am NOT a news watcher and now I remember why. The news is never a pleasant thing to watch, but since I have had kids it just stresses me out--and freaks me out. Tonight I watched three stories about missing children, one story about a missing wife (which is thought to be a murder), a story about a college athlete that got shot in the head...It is just SO awful. I can't believe what kind of a world we live in. Who kidnaps these kids and who takes someone's life? Just horrible. So, before you turn on your tv, make sure there is something to watch other than the news.

I feel the same way, Anita. I had to stop reading the newspaper a couple of years ago . . . and then I was reading it the other day and it had a very detailed description of a woman barely escaping from an attacker. It's true that lots of bad things are happening, but I don't think it helps me to read all the details of it!
