if pictures said but a few words...
New, easy, quick! Extend your life by 7 years!
The average person watches about 3 hours a day. Some statistics say as much as 5! (http://bit.ly/LX5f97)
But for the sake of the median, as most of us don't watch every day, lets say simply 2 hours of television a day.
2 hours X 7 days= 14 hours a week
14 X 4 weeks in a month= 56 hours a month
56 X 12 months = 672 hours a year (6,720 hours every decade)
672 hours a year divided by 24 hours a day = 26.8 continuous days a year we spend in front of the television!
That is almost one entire month of every year, 24 hours a day, of TV watching every year!
Think of what trade or craft you could master if you spent learning, lets say cooking or auto mechanics, if we studied it 24 hours a day for a whole month!
1 month X 85 years old (modern medicine is allowing our current generations to live longer on average) = 85 months
85 divided by 12 months = I will spend 7.1 continuous years of my life watching TV.
7.1 = Don't we have anything better to do with our lives than this?

I know I know I totally spoiled your little title and you will most likely not reply to my last message. But....I really like this picture because it makes me think 'hmmmm what are they doing, I can't see what they are doing at the table....why won't he explain the freaken pic'. So to spite me you can just continue not responding to posts Tee-hee. Orrrr maybe you can??? Just jocking...or am I???
i visited the beautiful country of Haiti a few years back and i can totally relate to your experience. i would move there if i could. the people there are among the most amazing ive ever met.
thank you for sharing your experience.
Joy. Sadness. Love. Dispair. Hope. Especially hope.
I have never seen such hope as in the eyes of the Hatian people. Attending mass in Creole was one of the things that hit me most. They have endured so much yet know that better times will come. Thank you for sharing your pictures and your experience. God Bless.
