Don't you have a tv in your room with cable? Or is the tv room for visitors? Whenever I am waiting in the Drs office it drives me nuts to have to watch what is on the tv. Yesterday it was CBS soaps of all things! I think in most places the receptionist gets to pick and leaves it there unless someone complains. Last time I was at the Drs it was CNN news, and the time before that it was cartoon network. All the same I guess... :o)
