Absolutely! I grew up suburban and ignorant, but I taught myself cause I didn't like not knowing. There comes a time when it's our responsibility to learn ourselves

I remember having two friends over for a home cooked meal once and they both stared at their smart phones silently the whom time.

That happens with some of my family members....except they invite US over to their house and then stare and tap at their phones while we try to make conversation around the awkward, long pauses as they fondle their phones. It's embarrassing. We don't go there very often any longer.

Can't blame you for that. You can get just as much interaction apart, only then you won't lose respect for them!

I HAVE NO PASSION AT ALL FOR SPORTS. Heck, I spent New Years Eve from Hell with an old friend. I had to sit there and endure 6-plus hours of foot ball, and he knows I don't care for sports. We're both old school musicians and used to be co-workers, so I brought over an old, huge portable record player and a few dozen vinyl from the 60's and 70's. Never got to play those. He did do some channel surfing at some of the other crap on the stations. On top of that, he hadn't turned on the heat because he couldn't afford it on his retirement income. I hadn't turned mine on either since I have a way newer house that is well insulated, but it was really cold and snowed several inches that night in TUCSON. Yeah, we gabbed for hours, as we always do, but I thought it was rather rude that I had to remove my shoes and walk on cold tile floors and sit on a couch shivering, while he was in his recliner with a big heat pad in his lap and an electric blanket draped all around him. He even had a huge radiator-shaped electric space heater across the room...never turned it on. That inside temp was definitely in the mid-50's. Well, he did have some blankets for me if I decided to spend the night on the sofa and promised to cook breakfast (which I don't do). I could have wrapped myself in those, but I left promptly after midnight since I only had one drink the whole evening and was sober. This wasn't a sports gathering, and that TV should have been turned off so we could really enjoy each other's company and listen to some music, unless we mutually decide to watch a movie or two. Sheesh! --BB Dang, at least make the sacrifice and turn on some heat just for the evening to make guests comfortable. If you visited me, I would monopolize all your attention and make you feel that your company is truly appreciated, and you'd be spoiled by the time you left my humble abode. Sorry for the tirade. --BB Bobby Basham Tucson, Arizona

Geez ... Are you sure he wasn't trying to hint that he wanted you to leave?

You wanted to TALK TO SOMEONE???????!!!!!!!! I mean other than to talk about the Kardashians and Jersey Shore, and Big Brother, and such what in the world is there to TALK about?????? That is the reponce most of the American society seems to care about and 99% of "reality" TV is worse than horse pucky, because horse pucky can be used for something.

You think you have it bad listening to that on he national news and a smell blurb on the local? I can only get TV stations from Indianapolis, Underinflated footballs take priority over police chases, the murder rate, local weather and anything else news worthy. I guess news is no longer news worthy if something happens worthy if it is not the local sports team....

Welcome Back Hennible .


I wish we could have a new "dumb thing" people say about our poultry everyday, but there is not a lot of original thought amongst the dumb and stupid. Without an upcoming election they do not go out and gather to think up dumb things to say, most are in Washington right now.

That said, I feel for your new years tribulation!   Nothing is worse than visiting a "sports friend" and have them glued to the TV and you forced to sit there and watch. Golfers are the worst, Why would anyone sit inside and watch grass grow on a TV?

Normally I get stuck in these things because they are spouses of my wife's friends and I am forced to go visit with her, she will be off doing whatever it is women do when they gather, while I am forced to visit the sports nut and act interested in it.  It is inevitable that I will fall asleep during these events. So after a day of living H-E- double hockey sticks, I catch it again on the way home from my wife, "How could you fall asleep while visiting", " Do you know how rude that was?"....



sigh..... now my day is ruined as I mentally prepare for the upcoming super bowl and listen to more "news" about the under inflated football, like I care....sighhhhhhhhh

My birthday typically falls right after Super Bowl and, knowing how I feel about pro sports, my (so called) friends gave me a Super Bowl themed party one year. They thought they were hilarious. The best part was that I was allowed to go home when the game came on. Blessedly they no longer invite me to the annual SB party any more. Being insufferable about sports comes in handy sometimes.

I've always wondered ... Why is it that sports are part of the newscasts? What part of sports constitutes "news"? I thought "news" refers to current events that are "important" to the general populace; things like the economy, politics, elections, which politician said something stupid or got his fingers caught in the cookie jar, weather forecasts, traffic updates, etc. you know ... things that actually affect our lives. How do sports fit this definition? I thought sports came under the heading of entertainment. If you're going to include sports in the news, then the latest developments on Dancing with the Stars, or soap operas should be included, too. Not that I'd watch ...just saying.

Now you understand my frustration! Other than when Tony Sterwert (NASCAR driver) killed a man walking on a race track last summer I never understood anything more than scores being read or to remind people of a local sporting event (in essence 3 minutes tops) on the nightly news. do a different show for fashion/celebrity/sports show.
