For stuff that is general.

Somewhat funny writer.

The second disadvantage is even more insidious. I can’t watch my 50-inch plasma TV during meals. Instead, I watch the 50-inch DLP TV that’s in the dining room, which is almost the same as being Amish.

Well done.

Hah.

I enjoy our kitchen table though. When I picked it out, we were looking at furniture, and I kept complaining how uncomfortable the kitchen chairs were. The salesman made some stupid remark about how you don't sit there long. I said "Give me comfort or give me death." He just looked away.

We tried eating without the TV only once, and it taught us the surest way to ruin a perfectly good marriage is by talking to each other.
Everybody's marriage is falling apart except ours. See, the problem's communication. Too much communication.

We eat almost every meal in the dining room. (Not the formal one, the casual one).

The rare exception is movie night when we spread out blankets and eat upstairs in front of the TV watching movies as a family.
