Watching TV

I may be wrong, but reading some of the comments here seems to imply that some of you watch TV ( mainly QVC) all day long. How do you get anything done???? Doesn't your behind hurt from sitting all day? LOL

You ladies crack me up.

I am 72 years old. I thinnk I am old enough and I do enjoy watching my favorite programs at night. But some of the comments sound like they watch QVC (especially) 24/7. I just wonder how they get things done, do they have a full time maid and a chef? I am not being sarcastic, I am being serious! How do they do it????? Because of my back I can't sit that long either. I realize there may be ladies here who are confined to wheel chairs, etc and must stay seated or lie down, but I do not think that is the case for all.

While not really anyone's business, I would think that most who do that keep it on while they are doing stuff. We keep tv (not QVC though) on most of the day and get things done. Most are capable of doing that.

I consider from your post that you are one of the very lucky 72 yr olds who can physcially do MANY of your household chores at your age even with a back issue.....

but there are so many others who thank goodness for TV

to help them get through the day...................I don't necessarily agree that customers actually WATCH QVC all day...........i am sure MOST leave a TV on in the background (whether on QVC or some other program) just like many will listen to music or the news, etc.

To assume that many are taking life "easy" and not getting things done is too judgmental in my opinion.

Multitasking

Trade bodies with me and then you'll see. But I don't watch or get on here all day.

Multi-tasking. I'm almost OP's age, rarely watch Q, but I have the tv on when I'm indoors. You'd be amazed what can be done with the tv on.

In the last week....

Spent 47 hours cleaning up debris in my yard after the derecho storm went through Iowa.
Spent 4 hours cleaning up debris in my disabled neighbor's yard.
Spent 6 hours raking my back yard.
Found my deck furniture a block away and brought it home.
Took pictures of massive tree damage for insurance.
Took pictures and threw out all the food that went bad in refrigerator and deep freeze since we were without power for 4 days.
Replaced 3 shingles on the roof
6 loads of laundry
Cleaned the bathroom and bedrooms

I'm looking forward to a lazy day with tv.

Many people leave their television on all day. It's company. Especially QVC. If you hear something is being presented that interests you, you can sit and watch. You don't have to be glued to the tv for QVC. If find it very easy to do things around the house with the tv on.

For me, TV is more listening than watching. It's rare I ever sat down to watch any program giving it my full attention. I'm always doing something else. As I type this post, I'm listening to a program on "Investigation Discovery" at the same time.

For me, household chores are so mindless, I need something more stimulating to occupy my thoughts. Also, TV brings life into the house that can be dreadfully quiet without it.

Can't remember when we didn't have TV on in the background, but it definitely wasn't always QVC. During the past year, it hasn't been on much at all.

I'm home alone during the weekdays. TV or the radio is on while I'm cleaning or in the kitchen. As far as sitting down and really watching, it's about three hours a day.

I have my TV on all day long. That's not to say that I spend the day sitting and watching it. Background noise. Rarely is it on QVC.

Despite the HEAT & HUMIDITY---

Took the trash out

Watered patio plants and cleaned the patio

Walked to the community mail box

Came inside, grabbed a glass of water-turned on TV for background noise (very little QVC, mostly game show network or a movie) All the while I:

swept & mopped kitchen floors

cleaned the bathroom

dusted and vacuumed

started 7 loads of laundry

Oh, and I work at home and do work assignments on my computer.....Felt good to sit down............

I don't need to explain/defend what I do or don't do and if I want to sit and watch TV, read a book, knit, do crafts etc all day and night it's my business. As adults we make our own decisions. The OP comments hit me the wrong way and while I don't mean to rant I am. Sometimes we just need to get it out. Stay Safe

My question is: why do all these people watch QVC and then come on here (everyday!)

to post their discontent with: hosts, vendors, merchandise, programming, customer service, hosts' feet, hosts' eyebrows etc.?

I know, I know, just your opinion - well, can't you have an opinion that is NOT critical of QVC, in whatever capacity?

And now I will get prepared for those who tell me to not come on the boards if I am so bothered by the negativity.

Many people do not SIT and watch TV. For some it is companionship.

Many people are all "Dog Day AfterNoon" about watching TV. They feel they have to sit and watch it.

Many people cannot understand what they are watching unless they SIT and watch in order to pay attention.

I don't watch it all day. I dvr only the shows I have interest in and ff through those to the items I may like. I'm not that big a shopper and my husband would probably hate me shopping all day everyday lol I have tv on all day but I do it mostly to keep the dogs from barking at every little noise outside.

Back when each Forum Topic had a bit of an intro --

Q TALK said, "Tell us what you like, what you don't like about QVC...."
