It was 28 degrees here last night, and enough precip fell that I had to use a pitcher of warm water to open my car door...!!!!!
Supposed to break our record for tomorrow’s date (not sure what today’s record was ) of 28 with a low of 23.
The Southern Caribbean’s callin’ my name again...!!!!!!!

We are getting ours for free.

Even better! Ours costs what we were paying for HULU, so it's not costing us more and we picked up ESPN

Last night the boys watched Dr. Strange and my dh and I watched Ratatouille

Spoiler: couch potato in the making

I only had to get up 2 or 3 times to do things, I folded towels while sitting that counts as not getting up, Right?

No problem, I was looking at my Quicken Account and since 1985 I have spent enough money on trips to Disney to finance my retirement until I was 105. That is enough.

We had done the same with trips. We could have bought a house or condo outright with the money spent on trips. For years our house looked like it threw up Disney toys as well. Of course we wouldn’t have the memories though, and they were good. I did debate spending the money on Disney Plus, but free made it an easy decision. Now I am trying to find a way to ditch cable. It is all about the live sports in my house.

I've been reading articles how Disney is changing scenes around. So far it's been the Simpsons and The New Hope.

I was praying the weather man was wrong (they are so often) its now 29 degrees and the coldest will be right before sun up so here comes 28 degrees. What a drastic temp drop in < 24 hours 78 to 28. Had green beans in the garden --not any more. Broccoli and curly kale, cauliflower should make.

I have to print this out and post it on the refrigerator for the wife --that fits her exactly one addition don't talk to her until she has finished her first cup of coffee

I'm wearing thermals under my fleece jammies

Have you looked into sling?

Yes. I looked yesterday. $15 a month for Blue or Orange. The Blue looks fine. It goes to $25, after a month, but the reviews I read said the streaming wasn’t always crisp. Hulu was the best, but the live is over $40, and that is more than I am willing to pay. I have to figure out how much our cable and boxes cost. Unfortunately Comcast doesn’t break down the cable tv fee in the bundle.

@StarWarsGirl have you seen the Mandalorian yet? If not you MUST, ASAP!

 

[Figgy1]

@MySmallWorldof4 what sports are you looking for?

 

[MinnieM123]

I put them in my oatmeal. Mix in blueberries too. No sugar. I put in some sugar substitute though.

Wow. I love cranberries, but I'd have to make sure there was plenty of sugar to sweeten them. (I realize sugar substitute does the same thing.) Blueberries don't need any sugar, though -- they're fine, nude. .

 

[MinnieM123]

You ain't seen nothin yet. Picture this... Two daughters in their mid 40's, three grandchildren aged 17, 18 and 21 plus a little one that I'm sure was just born yesterday will be 8 years old next month. I'm not just old, I'm freaking ancient! It also just occurred to me that I'm going to be at our Thanksgiving dinner with 11 people, my crew and my SIL's mother and dad and I WILL BE THE OLDEST ONE THERE BY 10 YEARS. How did that happen.

That's easy. You kept eating for years, and kept growing!

If you go with the HULU you'll get a $6 credit every month seeing you have Disney. My dh turned off the HULU late and our credit went through immediately after signing up Note you must use the same email and card when you set it up. I also believe they do a week trial

@MySmallWorldof4 call your cable company and they will be able to tell you what your bill without cable be. Their site should have the prices for each individual component. We dropped the house phone and use a Track Phone flip phone as the house phone, that costs a whole $7 per month
