    Wow... it seems about the only thing you didn't learn is kids spend too much time watching TV ;-)

    (I'm assuming you've already read Nikki's blog.)

    yeah, i have. true, but then, when i was a kid, tv was good (i mean, who couldn't like Mr. Belvadear, however that's spelled?) now it's just all corrupted and bad...

    but, yes, i blame a lot of my early struggles with ADHD on my excessive TV watching. however, i was also a major bookworm and lived on and thus often worked on a farm, so things were a bit more balanced than this post may suggest ;-)
