Anyone ever think about unplugging from the internet and cable for a while?

cant do either, especially when breaking bad and the NFL season are just starting up again

I would have answered sooner, but I was unplugged. :-)

Wifey and I would have to learn to talk to each other face to face again instead of by email and IM. Good Lord.

Internet and phone however, are critical for everyday use.

Hell to the yeah! On the breaking bad part, watching it right now!

I had it done for me during Hurricane Sandy... 11 days.... lol!

Might be hard to do again in the near future re: internet.

Cable: don't really care....

I did it when I moved to Japan though it wasn't really a choice. Took forever to get my gaijin card so I could get a soft bank iphone, and I was not fluent enough to really understand what they were saying on antenna TV. I read a lot of ebooks.

I seldom use my cell for conversations, and getting rid of TV is easy; if you have any kind of life you won't miss it at all. Season 5 of breaking bad just came out on Netflix. New to me, and if I have time I can watch 2 or 3 at a time- no waiting.

Actually...I take it back. No way in hell should you get rid of your cable. Somebody has to keep paying for those shows. Thank you for your service.
