    Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Seven

    I'm watching Amazon Prime original series "Catastrophe". I've binge-watched the first 4+ episodes of Season 1 this morning. I really need to give it a rest after I finish watching this 5th episode. My burnout threshold is low and I want to remain eager to get back to it. This is great stuff!

    Ooh, I really like that one. I hope to utter it many times.

    They proved so with twenty-seven eight by ten photographs. I'm sure the problem could have been remedied... after all, the satellites are still geo-positioned in space. Was my explanation of why I decided not to chase further after a satellite dish solution insufficient? Too brief?

    It really does amaze me how reliably stuff streams from Amazon Prime. If I get tired of watching small screen stuff, or stuff that hangs up repeatedly, all I have to do is watch something from Amazon Prime. It streams smoothly, reliably and with very good resolution onto my big-screen TV. At the...

    My DirecTv Saga: You Twisted My Arm, Don't Say I Didn't Warn Ya. By Dave B 4 days ago, on Monday afternoon, I'm sitting on my couch watching my big screen TV. The weather outside is hot and sunny. The TV screen freezes and an error message pops up. For only a second or two, the picture...

    I warned ya... now ya went and twisted my arm. You get a temporary reprieve because I'm too tired to write the whole saga right now. DTV has not been out to fix it. I went ahead yesterday and suspended my service so that I'm not paying for service that I don't have while I decide what to do next.

    Actually, that's not true. I watch Fubo on my TV, but I do it with a workaround method: an HDMI cable out of my computer into my TV.

    You'll see options to show highlights from a particular show, options to watch past episodes of the particular show you want to watch, options to watch other shows on the same station, but it's never easy and sometimes it's impossible to find the show that's on that channel RIGHT NOW. That...

    Can't check the signal strength when the dish isn't communicating at all with the box. I figured my previous post was already long enough so I didn't go into the details of the DirecTv saga. It's a long, long story, with many a winding turn, but if you twist my arm again, I'll tell it. :lol:

    Thanks for the report about Hulu, Legs. I signed up for it yesterday and cancelled after just a few hours. Part of the reason was the inconvenient navigation (it is somewhat of a PITA to get to the live TV stream of a given channel). However, the biggest reason is that my Internet is not fast...

    Movie reviews: Stargate: Kurt Russell, James Spader, 1994. Not very good; did not hold my interest. Whatever causes it to be well-rated by most reviewers was lost on me. Transformers, The Last Knight: Mark Wahlberg, 2017. Entertaining from start to finish, well worth watching. Many reviewers...

    Most Windows laptops have the ability to turn off the touch pad if a mouse is hooked up. What I'm having trouble with is the zillions of touch pad settings... I evidently haven't turned enough of the settings off yet. I love my laptop (Dell, with 16 MB of RAM, i7 processor). It's the fastest...

    The next time you pay your Prime membership, you'll find out that it's gone up to $119. The USPS has been using lock boxes for many decades, but they are permanently placed and not delivered by drone. The letter carrier puts your package in, locks the box, then puts the key in your regular mail...

    I need one of them. If I get an Easy Button from Staples, do you think that will work?

    I think I can do the same with mine, but after an update or something it reverted back to its obnoxious behavior. Yep, the cursor jumps all over creation when I inadvertently touch the pad.... :9!$# pain in the .... is what it is. :w00t:

    I called an aunt of mine a couple of weeks ago. We only talked for, seriously, 4 hours, making up for the 3+ years since we last spoke. Aunt Jean is 89 years old and smokes. She says she doesn't inhale. Who am I to doubt her? I've never heard her cough, whereas, when I was still smoking, I...

    I love that name for a moving company... never heard it before... removalist... huh, pretty good! Everybody beat me to the extra remote idea. I have one at my computer desk, one on the arm of the couch in the living room, and one in the bedroom, where I have a second TV. Yay! I don't whether...

    The Wilson sisters performing one of their hits over a period of 38 (!) years from the first video through the fifth. I'll not argue that it gets as good, but you have your work cut out for you trying to convince me that it gets better. My favorite is the 2nd one, from 1978, but if the 3rd one...

    I'm having a hard time getting tired of these. When I'm about to run out of any ingredient, I make or buy more so that there's no interruption of daily multiple burritos. This has been going on for weeks now. Do any males here take alendronate sodium (Fosamax) for male osteoporosis? I've...

    Are you saying North Carolina is up north? :-) The results change year by year, but for 2018, NC has the lowest auto insurance rates in the country. Somebody must have forgotten to tell Allstate about that. :-) Here are the most & least expensive states for car insurance in 2018
