I am at my parents' house. I love them dearly, but every time I come I am reminded why I find the place "uninhabitable" — once the TV is on, it takes over the entire (open plan) space, and the only sanctuary of sanity is a bedroom. Even then, there are all the intrusive jingles of TV quiz shows.
my brother, a conservative has the tv on 24/7 - hes much older - i was a " surprise" great guy but covid scared and cognotive dissodence to the max last night when i saw him i was like " its been a year, how long do you think you will wear the mask?" was not a pleasant conversation. 😊 but i love him no matter.
