Nope. Lol. Busy zoning out on an old program to help in getting tired.
TV here is absolutely rubbish tonight - that would help you sleep!
I don't watch a lot of tv so I haven't invested in Sky or similar, so my tv only has about 9 channels but I usually find something to watch - not tonight though - I've put the radio on.

Radio is good too. We have lots of channels and even then sometimes we can't find anything to watch and or watch reruns. Something like tonight eorks perfectly to get me feeling tired though.

Cable TV here via “providers” like Verizon or Comcast or DishNetwork are just way toooooo expensive to watch rubbish TV. We have a new digital receive antenna to get local networks, but not cable type stuff. We end up watching nightly network news or swap over to the internet to watch Al Jazeera, Euro News, France 24, or DW for real international news.

I use netfilx sometime but that's all I can. No cable, or sat. Not in the budget.

I love tv and I’m embarrassed telling how many we have at the house and our Motorhome has even more[emoji15]
I can’t get my husband to stream shows and he complained that there is always rubbish on but pays a ton for Satellite.

When the UK tv went digital a company called Freeview was rolled out and they do have quite a lot of channels but because I live in a valley I can't get the full range, yet quarter of a mile up the hill they get the full choice. Maybe I need a better aerial but tv's just not a priority for me.
In fact if I had to give up one thing from my house I would happily lose the tv.
Do you have to pay for TV license in the US and SA?

No TV “license” like you all have in the UK. We don’t have secret government TV hunters in vans out looking for people “illegally” receiving TV signals.

Yes we must pay for a tv licence. Here we get SABC and DSTV. SABC is provided with the licence and DSTV is extra which we need to pay for. We have DSTV mainly for the sports for hubby and movies for the kids.

That is worrying for the US.
Have you posted it on the main forums Linda?
Lola likes Romaine and it's one of the things he has been happy to eat with the critical care mix but I am going to check the source before buying anymore.
I imagine it's fine if you wash it thoroughly. Many people use it without washing it first
