I did not buy a converter box and to be honest my self esteem is much better now. <br /><br />It's also a plus to have a 2 1/2 yr old that reads books, does puzzles and plays instead of being passively bound to a TV. <br /><br />TLC whitewashes a lot of things concerning fertility on their network but it doesn't seem to matter - women who don't want to think for themselves still eat it up.Oublihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09754841929531258454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387757235421993128.post-58797423484347692462010-07-13T23:11:56.072-04:002010-07-13T23:11:56.072-04:00I, too, indulge in TLC far more often than I reall...I, too, indulge in TLC far more often than I really feel comfortable with, but I justify it by telling myself, hey, it's OK, since I REALIZE it's complete trash!<br /><br />I actually just caught the end of an "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" episode, and all I could think was how ridiculous it is that everything's whitewashed so that ALL the women featured are just THRILLED by the unexpected and unplanned addition to their family. Realistically, wouldn't many, especially the younger women featured, be upset and unprepared (both psychologically and financially) to care for an child? Personally, I think discussing these unpleasant yet realistic issues would make for better TV.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17276539145314411341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387757235421993128.post-87214333934294270272010-07-09T09:00:53.743-04:002010-07-09T09:00:53.743-04:00But TLC is my guilty pleasure!
