Explaining the VERY LOUD TV Volume In Our House

dooce: Shared DNA

Seriously, she listens to her reality shows at Great-Great Grandma levels. When the judges on the dancing show shriek with giddy delight, it pierces the center of my skull and causes an involuntary body flop and a cringe. Very hurtful.

    Try watching t.v with the closed captioning on. My husband used to have the same complaint. This is especially useful when watching reality shows and you can’t understand WTF they are saying. Oh, and by puting your tivo on the first fast forward setting I can watch a TiVoed soap in like 20 minutes. General Hospital is Speed Hospital.

    Four daughters, one wife, one mother, one billion reality shows. Will someone sell me a bullet and rent me a gun?

    Pete, it’s going to take more than one bullet to get rid of your wife and kids (unless you line them up…)!

    Put on your neoniest coloured crocs and do some ballet in the living room. It may be the perfect antidote.

    I agree with the sub-titles.…they are magic. I used to be a real nazi when it came to people Talking During the Movie but now it doesn’t matter!
