If I owned a nice camera I would never learn how to use it properly and all my photos would look pretty much like they do now. Cynthia,

I hear ya. If I owned a nice camera I would never learn how to use it properly and all my photos would look pretty much like they do now.

The TV is never turned on, so no game systems.<br/><br/>2. Computer time is limited, right now my computer isn't working so we only have internet access in the evening when Clay gets home with his computer. I like it that way, but I miss checking my me-mails.<br/><br/>3. If the kids go to a friend's house we say it's okay to watch TV, because we don't want to push our weirdness onto others.<br/><br/>That's about it. I think we've been doing this for eight or nine years. We always do it in June because all the shows we watch wrap up at the end of May, school gets out and it's not too brutally hot to play outside everyday. Then when July rolls around we are pretty much done with our rehab and not really needing a TV fix so the rest of the summer tends to go on without much TV too. Hi Mylinda,

The rules are:

1. The TV is never turned on, so no game systems.

2. Computer time is limited, right now my computer isn’t working so we only have internet access in the evening when Clay gets home with his computer. I like it that way, but I miss checking my me-mails.

3. If the kids go to a friend’s house we say it’s okay to watch TV, because we don’t want to push our weirdness onto others.

That’s about it. I think we’ve been doing this for eight or nine years. We always do it in June because all the shows we watch wrap up at the end of May, school gets out and it’s not too brutally hot to play outside everyday. Then when July rolls around we are pretty much done with our rehab and not really needing a TV fix so the rest of the summer tends to go on without much TV too.
