Guest guest Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hi, Everyone..........Gareth lost interest in TV a long time ago. He went from the Power Rangers to sports, and now, rarely watches anything. Sometimes, I think it's because of his eyes, but he is seen by an eye doc yearly and he assures me he can see just fine. His Dad really has to prompt him to *allow* the TV on for him to watch the sports. Many times, Gareth will just leave the room and sit in his bedroom in total silence......very contently, I might add!!! I also think it might be because Dad insists on blasting the dang TV!!! We had to use up some of Gareth's money before the end of the year, since he isn't allowed to have over $2000, and Gareth was insisting on a *BIG TV* for on his bedroom wall. Well, we know darn good and well that it would rarely be used, but got him the cheapest 32 " for on his wall. He's watched it once or twice!!! He just likes to look at it hanging there on the wall like a picture!!! <<Synthroid is one of the few drugs which happens to be very brand necessary.>> Sara........It's funny that this is a generic drug that he can take. I think with thyroid meds, it's all about keeping to one or the other and not going back and forth between the generic and brand name. Maybe it's because Gareth started on the generic. Now the Risperdal, that was very obvious from the brand to the generic. Take care, Everyone.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Gosh, I wish my son would lose interest in TV, but then again, if he did, then I would have to devote an extraordinary amount of time to keeping him busy with other things. I am not sure I have enough time in a day, as he can be very time consuming with all the attention he demands. The TV is great for when I have to do some other things, but we are starting to replace some of it more with IPAD activities and computer activities, which helps him with schoolwork. > > Hi, Everyone..........Gareth lost interest in TV a long time ago. > He went from the Power Rangers to sports, and now, rarely watches > anything.
