I use this website every afternoon because I get bored in the afternoon. I watch television all morning and all evening (Until I go to bed) so I want be bored. The reason why I don’t watch teelvision all morning is because I’m afraid that if I leave the televison on all day I’ll break it somehow. Another reason why I don’t watch television all day is my grandfather told me that watching television all evening is bad for your health. And my final reason why I don’t watch television all afternoon is because usually in the afternoon there’s nothing good to watch that I would like to watch. I have Comcsat Digital Cable. Also, I use this website because since there are 10 things on this website that someone can do I do those things every afternoon.
