Marvin.... Just picture how dizzy folks'd be in REAL life they all hustled 'round as swiftly as they do on TV! Fast action seems to be an intrinsic part of TV programs these days, and speaking for myself only, I'm unable to concentrate on complex story lines, without great effort on my part any longer. And darn it - I used to ALWAYS watch TV with a book in one hand and a needlepoint project in the other. Nowadays, while I still have a book open while the TV's on, I usually don't read it unless there's a commercial. Unfortunately, due to PD-induced double-vision the needlepoint sits unfinished in the closet. BOOOOOOOOO! It ain't fair!

I’m beginning to find that toward the end of the day I don’t like TV. I’m not sure if it is a dislike for the “this person did thus and so to that person” and the “lets watch all the sick pets” and that crazy alligator hunter from Australia or if my mind gets to the point where it does not want any more stuff shoved into it. Am I losing my ability to cope with the high action, blood and gore that seem to be the standard fare on TV these days? Even Bugs Bunny and Elmer tends to make me wince. Am I finally turning into what I disliked most about my parents? Am I developing a low tolerance for high-energy people and activities? Please, tell me there is a cure for this!
