Taking our minds off things, what are you watching??

Loved it. Thanks for sharing

@hopeful33250 I enjoyed that alot so cute . Thanks loved the girl with the Lysol can

I have been watching the old black and white episodes of "Gunsmoke". These were less than 30 minutes long and got straight to the point. Back when TV was not filled with endless drama/action/noise and one could actually use their imagination and think.

I agree. News is depressing, becoming Like a dirge...beat the drum slowly.....every 10 minutes on this blasted radio station they proudly (and in a chirpy voice) proclaim the new and projected death count....my my, and in the sense of ‘public service’....that’s my diatribe for today...there they go again, nearly a thousand new cases in Va....they are out of control.....I’m turning the thing off..
Can’t take it....I am so glad for the thread of pictures on here....and such good advise.....I really don’t know how these radio and television newscasters can do that job every day....they must just tune out or compartmentalize. But wonderful advise on YouTube’s, there are movies, outdoor walks ....I’m checking out this vintage robot on eBay from the 50’s...yes, I’m dating myself...
But.....my azalea’s are still hanging in there...

A few years ago I quit watching news on TV or listening to it on the radio. I receive all my news from the internet and I read what I choose, not what someone else seems to think I need to know or their opinion of it. I watched all the COVID-19 daily updates via YouTube and US State Department, I found out one day when I was watching a network feed and they had a tight camera on the podium and would not show the screens behind the podium which contained much information I wanted to see, I then found the State Dept. stream and the difference was amazing, the things the network wouldn’t show me tended to distort what was being said, I did not appreciate their censorship. No matter what your political persuasion there are plenty of website with accurate information to keep you up with the news of the day and you can read whatever whenever you like and not affect your mood, if it disturbs you don’t read it, simple as that, you are in control.

Thanks for your wonderful reply...and yes, I am in control of what I listen to...the problem is , this radio channel is the primary all news channel in my area that I used to love to leave on for background....their weather and traffic updates were helpful and comforting...now, well - I seem to be going into a theme song here.....

@robbie1956 Dont watch T.V. or listen to radio unless its music or something to watch. Keep watching your azaleas beautiful that gives a person a lift

Thanks, good advice

The Kominsky Method is on Netflix about two male friends in their 70-80's and what they go through at this stage of life with family, friends. One is acting coach and the other was an agent. If you can get throughout the first couple of episodes it is quite funny with good writing.

Sometimes I watch Curb Your Enthusiasm (ten seasons) just to remind myself that things could be worse - I could be married to a Larry David schmutz. I also love, love, love anything Ricky Gervais. He says what i feel - yes, I feel quite inappropriately pissed off quite a lot of the time. Then there are the adventure series, like Homeland, that keep me pedaling away on my exercyle daily. I am a writer but the pandemic is sitting on my muse like a two ton gorilla with B.O.
