My mother would always turn on the TV - loudly, since her hearing was going - any time she came home. And, at night, she had to have the radio going (also loudly). Nearly killed me one night when I was staying with her and was desperate for sleep and her radio was going all night (I slipped in and turned it off and, without completely waking up, she turned it back on).
Zoe: My man would never fall for that. Wash: Most of my head wishes I had.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

learning to be in quiet is a very important skill for some. Sleeping in quiet moreso.

Herding cats for fun
My favorite living environment is the sound of silence. I would go insane if I had to listen to TV all the time.
One of my jobs was torture because they played different music in two rooms and I could hear both. It felt like my brain was trying to twist itself into a spiral shape trying to escape.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Toddson, my dad also blares the tv day and night. It was tough when I was sleeping on his couch.
I walked 3 miles today! And met Bruno and Mars! Also, Spook, Zombie, Ghoul & Scary! (Those guys were just calves, littles!) Yay, cows!!!

My sister once lived in a place where nearby there were two of the Scottish cattle named Duncan and Donut.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
YAYYAYYAY! My dad just texted me from his hospital bed! He's awake, interactive, and would rather be on the golf course, but his nurse says he is "an absolute delight and a pleasure to care for."
(Lucky her--he's been less than delightful to the people he actually lives with of late, but this has clearly scared some good sense into him.)
I'm so relieved I could throw up.

Yay, JZ!

JZ, glad to hear it. Maybe he's improved by comparison to others ... or they're just happy to see someone comparatively healthy.

Our wings are not tired.
That is so good to hear, JZ!!
