We got cable for the first time in more than 2 years so that my DH could watch the Olympics. I, however, am addicted to it. I think I've watched 4 hours of baby stories today alone. I also got sucked into a Cake Boss marathon the other day and every show on HGTV.
One cool thing I saw though, a woman was having a baby through surogacy and she was able to induce lactation. She pumped more milk than I was ever able to!
Re: Cable is the Devil
My TV is on all day long. It's on the Today Show, then HGTV until DH takes it over when he gets home. It's disgusting. I don't even watch it that much...but can't stand not having it on.
I think I could handle just having the local stations - but I really don't want to try.
