Get Up All You Couch Potatoes!

This is not the time to veg in front of the tv. This is the best time to do something else. TV isn't BAD, but there are a million things to do at the same time:

* When did you last pick up your old tuba in the basement? Didn't you need to balance your checkbook? Do it during the ads!

* Instead of just plain old vegging out with your kids/friends/significant other(s), do something fun. Tell jokes during the shows. Use the ads to chat - or the shows if they're worse!

* TV-time is great laundry-folding time. Every- one can pitch in. It's also great for chopping veggies, reading bits of a book that's been sitting around for ages, doing the crossword.

* Make TV educational. It's okay if it runs in the background, too, as long as you're doing something else. This way you make the best use of your time instead of spending several hours you'll wish you had for other stuff later. Get to be a great TV-time-user!
