Burning Questions no one knows the answer to...(NOPO)

Post by Z is for Zangie » Thu May 12, 2022 2:12 am

Here are some of mine: Why does it always rain right after I wash my car? How when I put something in a specific space so when I need it I will know where it is, but when I finally need it, I don't remember where I put it? Why do I always need to go to the bathroom after I get out of the shower? What are some of yours?

Sounds like a personal problem - now I know you might not believe this, but I've got one or two myself. But don't worry it gets better as we age . You begin to forget why you even wanted it and then everything's okay . See, it wasn't that important to start with.

I can't blame you at all, 90% of the stuff they're shoveling isn't worth consuming.
Leaves me wondering what are you doing while you're not watching the moving pictures on the wall.
I know you're an active guy, outdoors and all and you probably read a lot - you're knowledgeable and have a variety of interests. Overall I'd say well-rounded and personable .. probably make someone a good husband/wife, whichever

Knowing you this feels like a joke, since we regularly talk about TV shows. Then again you could be watching on a computer screen which is technically not a television. This might be the greatest question I can't answer right now.

Okay, that was a little bit of a lie. I do have a 43 inch 4K TV, but it's hooked up as a computer monitor and isn't used at all for television. That said, I do watch certain TV shows off my computer. But the TV itself is not hooked up to cable or broadcast or anything. It would be easy enough to put up a digital antenna and get local TV, which is what my mom does. However I'm not that interested in broadcast TV and the way I look at it if there's any show I want to see enough to put in the effort to find it it's probably worth watching. However by the same token I no longer do channel surfing. That way I end up spending less time on absolutely nothing.

To be honest, there's more content on YouTube than I can reasonably absorb in the amount of time I have to do so.

Makes sense. I didn't have any kind of cable before years, pre streaming. I netflixed a lot with those envelopes. I had a pretty good system going for a while.

I just thought of "The Prisoner" so the question I'm going with is: Why?
