That’s how I look at it. I’m sitting down with a list of all of my “extras” for tv and media/iPhone storage (which is relatively cheap). Once you add all of the “relatively” cheap subscriptions annually, the numbers get shocking. I cancelled Netflix last year and we did fine, just went back to it 2 months ago.. but we haven’t used it much.

Disney is going to start a streaming service soon. That is why they are going to be pulling their shows and movies from Netflix.

From what I read they aren't taking movies out of the vault for it though I hate the stupid vault.

We use it pretty non-stop. Between Netflix and Prime, we have everything the kid could possibly want to watch (although we did buy a substantial number of Disney movies on Amazon Anywhere). The thing we love about both Netflix and Prime is the ability to download content for viewing without internet, and also that we can stream on so many devices. It makes road trips a breeze.

What do you mean by downloading content without internet? Do you have to download it at home first onto your device?

Best Buy and ****’s Sporting Goods are in the same plaza about 15 minutes from my house.. I’m at ****’s almost weekly(not really, but it does feel that way), so the convenience for me is always Best Buy, I can knock two things out quickly.


Umm.. ok. D i c k ‘ s

I actually figured out the sporting good store without it needing to be spelled out.

Yes! We download it at home, and then play it on the plane. So you can download some episodes of the show you're following and just watch them wherever. It's not a permanent download though.

I use the weather channel site, accuweather and 2 of our local channels and one of them is usually right This time they all agree I'm going hunting Friday.

Just checked accuweather. Looks like where I am in South Central PA is going to get lucky this time around and get nothing. @MinnieM123 and @FutureCEO will get the worst with really strong winds. Hope you don't get too much and the storm skirts more north of you.

We have to go to 4 f birthday parties for family members this weekend and my dh offered for me to cook for 2 of them I may run away from home!

How thoughtful that he asked you first. NOT. Maybe he hates everyone else's cooking?

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

It's even worse than it sounds. This weekend is what @Mr Ferret 88 and I call Joisey weekend

Sympathy like. I hear you. All you had to say was "Joisey". Sorry.

My daughter had her well visit today, and she grew a whopping 1.25 inches in the last two months!! What the what?!

No amazon deals for you?

No, unless I wanted Amazon video. I need the physical copies. They didn't have hard copies with Amazon Prime, only from other sellers where I would have had to pay for shipping.

My son has grown 6 inches in less than a year.

It would be nice if I could put myself in the dryer for 10 minutes and come out WARM! It's FRIGID today. It snowed a bit, but didn't stick...most of it melted even before it hit the ground. But the wind was just soooo cold. They said on the news that real feel was -18C. Once I got home from doing all the school/activity runs (by bike) I was chilled through and couldn't warm up. I've been home for 3 hours and I'm finally starting to thaw out with my heating pad, blow dryer, and heated mattress pad.

I love my heating pad for when I cannot warm up. It is the kind you stick in the microwave so I don't have to worry about cords. It is 60 here today and the robins are actually back in town.

I can't even remember the last time I ate there and I think the last time I even walked into the place was 2011ish. Even that was to get Tramp's autograph. Back then you gave the autograph book to the host/ess and they came back with a stamp.

I didn't know they did that!! When we went for our honeymoon, I remember there were special glasses if you ordered a shake and it had Lady and Tramp etched on it...and I think the plates maybe had paw prints or something, and you could buy them. We didn't because there was no way to get them home in one piece.

I guess Ben Franklin was way ahead of his time when he named his publication " Poor Richards Almanac". He must have known about the every two hundred year scourge of PC righteous indignation.

Would your DD notice if they were gone? I want them. In a few weeks I can swap out a baby duck for the Stitches. Deal?

I love baby ducks, but the Stitches don’t poop. Hmm. Maybe I should start taking orders. Could use some extra cash for our upcoming trip.

I know I've mentioned this a few times before, but, one of my favorite movies of his is "Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House". It's a hoot...!!!!!

Mine, too. I even have a copy of the book on my shelf. The book is great, too. Illustrated by the same guy who wrote Shrek.
