Planets are all still there but they are gradually changing their place. The crescent moon is beautiful.

I paid the one price upfront before. It was 150..00 for the year for the jailbreak firestick. The problem was after a yr I couldn't find the guy to do it again. Thought I would go with the month to month to avoid that.
The wife and I are in negotiations right now about the firestick. I hope we can get back to the negotiating table soon.

I bought an Insignia fire TV. It has so many free apps with so many channels and movies that I can't figure out what to watch first. All it needs is Internet and Wi-Fi . I'm getting Netflix free for a year which I only use now and then because it's available through my Internet service. I decided to get Disney+ for $10 a month for Joe through the same account . He has a fire stick for $20 attached to a smart TV. . I've not tried Disney yet but my son is jealous of all my channels. He's worked for cable companies in the past and knows what they offer and it ain't free. Next time I buy Joe a TV it'll be a fire I'm so happy I got rid of AT&T.

I'm trying to figure out a recipe using plantains for a scone. Got any?

My brother needs a home health aide to help me help him. So I finally broke down and allowed that. I have a helper. As it turns out he's perfect for us. He's such a nice person. He's from Ghana. So I want to figure out something he'd like to eat. He swears he wants to just work while he's here and hell be good. Whatever. I need to figure out a nutritious snack food for while we're working that's African and a drink. I was thinking homemade plantain chips or bread. What's their favorite drink through the day? Any ideas

I had rotors on a 93 grand prix that wouldn't break loss. I was hell bent on getting the break job done. When I had no luck heating up the rotors. I got the cutting torch out. A little tricks that has helped me. Smear some antiseize on the lug bolt flange before putting rotors on.

I made a mistake, it wasn't rotors but rear wheel drum brakes. But the anti seize still applies.

My Samsung smart TV is like yours. The other 2 flat screens I have are older. So I need the firestick to get other apps.

Thanks guys! Much appreciated! #1 aniversary.. Lol

Understand that I'm a bit miffed with Kerry. She knows it because we talk all the time. She is leaving today for Florida for a couple weeks to take care of a bitchy old lady friend of her sisters....im less then happy but she's allowed to do what she chooses too I guess. Am I supposed to say this stuff out loud? The old coot loves me and I like her, mostly because she's such a colorful person...but she's taken a mental dive and she hates everyone now. Her lack of knowledge and her phone enabled thieves to rip her off for 45grand a couple of months ago. Her boys need to step up...thier mom needs help.

So this all put a pall on our aniversary but we had a nice dinner out then saw a play- "Noises off" which is a different type of play....the "set" is a key player in the play. Very well done...really a tough one to direct but they did fantastic. After the play we spent the night in the suite we got married from. We had breakfast there yesterday rhen drove home. A nice day but next year will be better. Kerry knows not to screw it up again by inviting guests who stayed at our home while we were gone then her leaving the next day! Lol



Btw- the date I mentioned before... it's when one leader asked another for help & was refused...8 times. That leader must realize now that his decision didn't age well. Rich....so rich......

I only caught some of that, but must watch it. I remember Mark has been canoeing in the Chesapeake Bay area.

Good morning all it's another bright and beautiful day here.

That's great Cathie, it will help lighten your load and very kind of to you to try to find food from his country, but sounds like he doesn't want to make extra work for you. I'm sure Google has lots of recipes though. My guess is he'd be happy with any world wide common soft drinks, like cola etc.

Dear Jeff,

I fully understand where you are coming from with regards to Kerry's sister's friend. I cared for dad with Alzheimer's for three years before his death in 2019. He was diagnosed in January 2016 but he was showing symptoms at least a couple of years before then. Kerry and her sister are wonderful to do the caring and in supporting Kerry you are a wonderful person as well. However I hope this lady has carers and she will need more carers and eventually residential care. She can also have medication for the aggression providing there is no other undiagnosed medical condition that is creating a sudden down turn.

Hugs

Natrah

Adult Piano Pupil arrived at her lesson today and said: "I didn't bring my music because I couldn't fit it in my bag!"

We recorded the first episode, but I found it almost unbearable - the very loud music - the commentary drownwd out by it - it was actually painful, and we didn't like the story-lines much either - we gave up before the end! The photography was magnificent,of course ! It seems that any nature documentary now has to include a lot of loud music, which seems to get louder and louder with every new programme. Do you not have any problem with this, Natrah ?

About 3 days ago, I ended up with a 3rd degree burn on the tip of my apputeed arm. I couldn't get it to stop bleeding. So I went to the hospital. Being the tip of my arm is numb. I didn't know how I burned it. This evening I was closing up Opo for the night. Outside of his enclosure, I have a CHE hanging. So when he wakes up on chilly mornings. I was going thru my normal routine and touched the CHE lamp with the tip of my arm. I had forgot to turn it off. This time I felt it because my skin was burnt.The reason for such a bad burn. Was because the skin was skin grafted. So it is really thin.So now I know how it happened. I will not tell Rose so don't any of you tell her.
P.S. I would show you but it's not the best looking.

Actually Joe's TV is a smart TV with a fire stick. Mine is a fire TV and doesn't need a fire stick. It was so cheap. It's the Best Buy Brand insignia. That's a smart TV with the fire stick built in. I saw them in store around last December for $80 for a 26". Since I just like a small TV I was cheered up. Instead of the price going up it came down.

I hope that heals quickly for you Ray. Will you have to have another skin graft now? Look after that and keep infections at bay.

And how does Rose not know you have the burn? U are just fooling yourself if you think she's not playing Snoopy

I find that music on many programmes is too loud now. I find myself turning the volume up to hear dialogue then down when there's music so that it doesn't disturb the neighbour who lives on the TV side of house - no wonder my remote controls don't last long.

I don't have a wall mounted tv, but I often wonder how people who do on adjoining walls manage not to disturb their neighbours, or maybe they just don't care.
