Thinking Out Loud.....

chrisct

I think we pay $5 for the dvr, but $10 for the guide service.  And that's on top of all the other stuff we have.  Too expensive. 17 years ago when we moved in, we paid $30 a month for cable.  Now add in internet and digital channels, a dvr and guide and I don't even know what our bill is now - $140?!  Sick.  I must find something cheaper.

chrisct

Awww - sweet that your dad remembered and was able to get you a card.  Glad he's doing better.  Mmmmm- chicken and broccoli penne. 

Makratz

Mines 140 a month too.  Way too much money!

Sheila, I posted the pics of the remote control because I do not know how to use them.  Seriously.  I am too old to learn now.  LOL!  I can turn the TV on and off.  I cannot tape any shows, etc.  SOmetimes I can't even get the TV to come on if the last person using it was using the DVR, blue ray player, stereo etc.  I liked life before cable!

chrisct

Linda - can't your boys teach you how to use it?  It can be frustrating with all that stuff hooked up.  What remote to use for what.  Sometimes I have trouble when someone's been watching something else and I don't realize I need to put it on cable - or turn off whatever they were using.  It is complicated, but once you know how it's set up, it's easier to figure out.

I'm pretty good with remotes. I always teach myself.

Once DD couldn't do the DVR and it was time for me to make fun of her.

I'm very bad posting real pictures. I did it with FB thats it. I don't even know how to add pictures anymore.

Sorry Linda. i don't know what elderly age limit is, but either I'm too close or in it already.

The first remote looks very similar to mine.

I pay $141.00 every month but telephone and Internet included.

You mean you pay that much just for cable????????? 

Makratz

Yes, they could, but I don't really care enough about it to pay attention.  LOL!! I am not a big TV watcher so I manage.  If I need some help, DH helps.  We've got a 65 in TV in our media room with so many different things attached to it, I get lost.  In my kitchen is my nice small TV with no cable!  I love it!

chrisct

Sheila -  you're not even close to being elderly!

If I start getting mad that I can't get what I want on the tv, my son comes running to help.  He loves to figure those things out.  No cable on the kitchen tv - do you have a box for digital now?  I felt like we were going back in time 30 yrs when tv went digital and we needed converter boxes again for tvs that aren't cable ready.

Makratz

Hey Sheila,   I sunbathed today with my bathing suit for about an hour.  Talk to you tomorrow.  Hope you are sunbathing too.

sheila888

chris....I just have the cable wire directly attached to the TV. (in the bedroom)

I have one digital box which is the DVR.

When the girls were still living home i had a second digital for the bedroom.

Im not really complaining I have 3 services covered for 141.00 a month including Canada and free 411.

I wonder if you have the same cable company in CT. Mine is Optimum triple......

sheila888

Oooooh Linda!

Good for you.

Makratz

Sheila,  I will be by around 9 to pick you up, or wake you up.  I bought plenty of sun block too.  We can't use it until we've have adequate vitamin D absorbtion from the sun.  Then, we slather it on. The bridge ti Marthas vineyard just reopened.  We should go there!

Makratz

Sheila, Sorry I had to leave the beach early today, both my sons had orthodontists appointments.  I hope you enjoyed the rest of the day there.  Who were those 2 men I saw you talking too as I was leaving?

sheila888

One was RPOC, I dont remember the other one's name.

The sun felt sooo good today.

Makratz

Are you back together with Mr. RPOC?  I didn't realize that.  I think we need to talk.

deborye

Got a call this morning on my phone at work, it was the CEO of our company wishing me a belated happy birthday.  He's a sweetie.  Then a few minutes later a belated fall flower arrangement. LOL

deborye

Something like this only in a glass bowl.

sheila888

this answers Linda's question

sheila888

Oh Deb you were the flower girl today!!!!!!!!!!

How is father doing?

Makratz

That was nice of them Deb!!  How is your Father doing??

deborye

Still doing PT and OT.  His balance is off.  The PT therapist said he was just standing and started to lean back and would now try to catch himself.  So he needs more work

Makratz

I'm glad he's getting the help he needs.  I'm sure its painful for you to watch him like this.

(((HUGS)))
