I had Sling temporarily, it was cheaper than FUBOTV.. but I had to go back from to FUBOTV after about 2 months.
The streaming services are getting out of hand. Currently I have FUBOTV, ESPN+, and Netflix.. plus I have the highest cable package- required if I want ESPN2 and FoxSportsOhio, and a few others.
It’s such a waste. I rarely even watch tv outside of sports or cable news. T enjoys American Ninja Warrior and America’s Got Talent. Netflix is only used occasionally. Yet there’s nothing I can cut and still get those few programs.
Oh, and I do Amazon when The Man in the High Castle is in season, but I don’t keep it full time.

That's why I say check all of them. My bff is going to drop fubotv. Even with it cheaper than cable. BTW kis from this town are sought out to play football in college even if they only play in the youth league

The problem with fuboTV is that it’s $50 per month, plus the $13 and $15 for Netflix and ESPN+. Plus cable.
It’s getting ridiculous. Streaming is creating more of a problem than not.
That’s awesome about football!!

Texas must be in some sort of time warp. The first time I flew was on a College trip to Europe. That was in 1967. We took around 14 commercial flights during that two week period and I do not recall ever seeing any semi-formal dressed folks except the flight attendants. Before the introduction of jet airlines that was that way because only the wealthy were able to fly much back then. Fortunately that is one of the things that I am to young to remember. Both wealth and dressed to travel escaped my experiences.
I don’t remember it havin’ to do with any kinda’ “Texas Time Warp”...!
All those years we actually flew from either Alabama to Texas and back, or from California to Texas and back. Pretty sure it just had to do with what my folks thought was appropriate for our family at the time.
Did y’all take “Love Planes” back then...?!
I wouldn’t know, as I’m not and early, mid-century boomerllinnial...!!!!!

We have prime, Netflix, and YouTube tv. Prime just... Life 
so I'm glad it comes with movies but we'd it for groceries and shopping anyway. We don't pay for the YouTube tv because we're on a family plan. And we'll likely cancel Netflix and get Disney streaming when it comes out. My ex husband had us paying $197 a month for cable and internet and now i pay $40 a month for internet and $13 for Netflix.

My thoughts are pretty basic. There are great people in every generation and some not so great. Sometimes it how they were raised and the expectations of the parents raising them. No generation on a whole was more self involved as the Baby Boomers, the anti-establishment generation. I am the tail-end of that classification. Too young for the drugs, the Hippie thing or Woodstock, all was well over by my preteen years.
I have two Millennial kids that are not pieces of work. I take pride in how I raised them, saw to it they were educated and both have great professional careers because of it. I take pride in the adults they became. I believe the majority of Millennial adults are hard working, awesome individuals. They were dealt a nasty, long recession in their teens and college years, that wasn't on them, that was on the older generations. That recession stung a lot of families which made it a difficult time for some youth to jump start their adulthood as they might have liked to. This doesn't make Millennial's pieces of work nor should they keep having to take insults about their entire generation. I have a hard time understanding the need to keep doing that to that generation.
I believe social media is part of the problem. Behind the screen older generations can just bash the heck out of a generation. We are all living in the world of Twitter now if we participate or not where untruths can just be tweeted and it goes unchecked. It is the new norm.

I'll pass on them for two reasons though. I'm not a bug eating person and tacos gives me stomach problems. I've used stuff for my stomach and Tacos still gave me a stomach ache. The last time I had tacos was in the late 1990s. My stomach always been touchy in some types of food even before having acid reflex disease.
I'm the same one who only can eat Bananas when they are baked such as banana bread, and banana muffins. My stomach can't handle bananas when they are not baked.
What I do for eating is use common sense for what I eat and in some case limit my self.
For me, the Grasshopper slushie on a stick is a turn off. I do see some good new stuff like Deep Fried Banana bread bites, and plenty of other stuff.
The good news is I am not limited as last year for food for the fair. What happened was I was recovering from hemorrhoids and went less to the fair less than a week from getting them.
My Mom still tells a story of me sitting on the front sidewalk looking a cute little caterpillar near me. She says I snatched it up and swallowed it.
I've never been able to eat Americanized Mexican Food. When I go to places like
Uncle Julio's I always eat the Fajitas as they are flavorful but nothing I don't eat individually. I loved Bananas. Now I can only eat them cooked too. It happened almost immediately after I gave birth to my first kid.
Me, I make a mean Potato Salad, mayo based like my Gran taught me to make. I love it to the Moon and Back. When I made it more frequently I could eat it everyday until there was no more. Now in a weeks time I can have it maybe 2 or 3 times and know to layoff after that. I just can't seem to tolerate the high fat thing anymore.

Forgot to mention that we all had to get dressed up for the airport visit. (No one dressed casually at the airport back then.) I remember my father making a big deal about this experience, and all of us kids had to be on best behavior. (Reading my above comments now, I'm surprised I had any fun at all!
I have old pictures of me 'till about age 10 being in pretty little dresses with white anklet socks and patent leather shoes on flights to California from Chicago. We always dressed up to go on airplanes. Similar to the fancy clothes many wore to the Magic Kingdom, high heels and all.
My MIL still is upset that Nurses at Hospitals are not required to be in white dresses and white shoes and believes they should wear the white cap. It genuinely upsets her that they can wear scrubs.

Been busy and tired. By the time I return the trailer at 9:30AM, we’ll have everything moved out of the old store. Just have to go back to clean/spackle/paint.
And finish setting up the new store. Still waiting on ppwk for the license, but we are about halfway set up. Lots of little things to do. As you guys know better than most, details matter.
So far, not looking great with the landlords/deposit. Don’t even want to get into it until I know more. There’s an email from them I’ll need to read tomorrow.
