Media Fasting

Taking a break from the TV news seems to have no ill effects.

Went looking how to prune raspberries in August - and you popped up! What a refreshing and genuine person to listen to and learn from. You would be the greatest neighbor to have. Haha! yes the Tidy Bowl Man scare. Thank you. Starting a media fast and going to work on the raspberries after they finish producing.

Congratulations for finding the channel. It tends to be illusive. Aloha

Your media fast is a good idea. I haven't watched TV since The Donald went into office, except for Hallmark Christmas movies and NFL games. Entertainment is through you KZbinrs. Thanks for your videos.

TV is still cracked and still fasting.

Outside of watching football I gave up on tv years ago. Can’t stand the commercials. Outside of an extreme event or emergency, no tv, no news. If it’s one of those events or emergencies I limit my viewing time drastically compared to before. In the last 4 years I’ve had no reason to watch the news until the assassination attempt on Trump. After two days I was done.

@@molassescricket6663 I have used TV as a media for news for years. Local news is important when living in mid ocean. Never know when a Tsunami or Hurricane is heading this way. I never made the transition from Baseball to football as our national sport. I found football to be brutal by comparison.

@@GreenGardenGuy1 Football is modern day gladiators in my opinion, Bill. I don’t watch the news because it’s a form of self abuse in my opinion. I think that it’s bad for the psyche. I check the weather daily, that’s it.

@@molassescricket6663 I have more than one reason i watch the news. Weather is high on that list but habit and curiosity are included. Hawaiian local news has historically been pleasurable and informative. We are isolated, a lot of stuff only happens here. I like to know when something dangerous to the environment in my area is proposed. I tend to participate in citizen hearings and the news is the main method of finding out when, where and what. In the end, I am a well indoctrinated American who actually believes in our experiment. As I was taught in Civics class, citizen participation in our government system is is a privilege and a duty. The news is one of the few ways we have to determine what our opinions happen to be. That said, I haven't watch any news since i broke the TV the day Trump got ventilated. To the point, I kind of like it.

LOL Convenient time😅

Everything happens for a reason or not!

I newsfast during election years.

[@GreenGardenGuy1]

Not a bad idea. Since I usually know who I would vote for a decade in advance, the TV offers no assistance.

[@TheDiversifiedFarmer]

Going to make my first video of the channel tonight.

[@GreenGardenGuy1]

Cool

I love the Manago Hotel best pork chops ever

[@GreenGardenGuy1]

It is past tense. The new owners are not into the pork chops. Too bad, they were the best on Island.

[@Yohann67]

Loved the breakfast, the room was peaceful. Loved the farmers market across the street!

@@Yohann67 Mr. Manago always soaked the Koi fish food before he fed it to them. He claimed they were aquatic and not used to crunchy food.

I’ve been off MSM for years. What took you so long ?

Did you say you have a lot of mucus coughing in the morning?

[@GreenGardenGuy1]

No, why do you ask? On occasion i will go into a sneezing fit in the morning. Probably clearing the volcanic dust out of my nose from sleeping. The air is filled with salt, sulfur and mold here. Could be any of them.

[@GreenGardenGuy1]

Nope

@@GreenGardenGuy1 I have lived in Belize for about 18 years, I have a terrible problem with morning junk (for 18 years) . It is almost everyday. When I go back to TN in the states I goes away. I thought you might have some insight. Thanks for the reply.
