We didn't have Cable TV until 2000 when we were both working for computer companies, so we got cable so that we could track the year 2000 issue rolling around the world and be prepared for when it hit us. Our tv habits are on and off. Sometimes like right now we pretty much never watch it - but Bob is in there playing video games. Sometimes like when the Austen series is on PBS we watch all of them, sometimes repeatedly.
I do love House and Monk but episodes are so rare in modern times that I think that's maybe 16 episodes all year long?
We have a medicine ball but it's more hard, not squishy. I do have a "squeeze ball" around here *somewhere* but I would be hard pressed to find it
