Usually what I'm watching are Lifetime movies, House Hunters, or a baseball or football game. But, like you, it's mostly just noise, and at the end of the day, I can't really tell you about anything that I "watched"...

My T.V. is not connected to anything so if it's on it on to a DVD, while I'm sewing I listen to a book on C.D. I go to the library once a week a take out about three books. This helps me with keeping up with the latest books. Oh when I'm doing yard work I rent 3mp players from the library which also have a book on it.

My sewing room is right off the living room so if hubby's out there watching TV I can listen from where I am. If he's not there I'd just as soon have it quiet. I've found that if I have a TV in the sewing room, then I'm watching TV and not sewing.

Yep; and once in awhile I pay attention to it. Drives my kids crazy. I try to keep the lights off all over the house and the AC units down; I'm always after them on that but because when I clean I'm all over the place; I have a hard time staying focus sometimes I normally have TV on in most of the rooms. It's better than getting locked into one room because you don't want to miss what was said. I like having sound going on; even if I'm not paying attention sometimes

No TV in my quilting area. Most of the time I like my silence. Good time to think and be thankful. Sometimes I will turn the stereo on in the other room loud enough so I can hear it and hum along while quilting.
