AbielleRose Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I've learned that I have definitely not missed anything by not having TV for the last year. 200 channels, still nothing interesting on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawr Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I've learned that too. The only thing i miss are cartoons, where i could have a whole cartoon marathon and be quite content! I'm a cartoon junkie but everything else, whenever i walk in the living room and see what absolute mindless garbage fills the tv, i know i haven't missed anything!

AbielleRose Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Today I learned that the word 'tip' is actually an acronym for "to insure promptness" and was originally given in advance for services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinay87 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Oh wow! Guess a lot of words we take for granted are that way CaliLily. I learnt that some parents don't know the importance of appreciation of the little things a child does for them. Case in point: My mom helps some mothers in the apartments tutor their children (1st to 5th grade) in homework, studies etc. I sometimes take her place when she asks me to. A kid was making his dad a birthday card today and I was watching him do it. He then began talking and said that his mom doesn't appreciate it. He's a third grader, mind you. His mom always just says "nice" and doesn't even hug him or anything. I guess I'm really lucky. My dad still talks about the letters I wrote to him when I was 7. I sent it overseas without postage stamps on it >. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
