I've never been much of a list guy. I'm more of a thinker abouter. Makes it easier to procrastinate when there's no hard evidence.

Netflix and the like compress their streams so that they run well at slower speeds I believe. I run a busy household with 20mb. If you're on a low income status Commycast and most other providers have a program for that. Commycast is $9.95 for 15mb I believe. Of course a good device run optimally makes a big diff also. GL
Always nice to have a good wifi extender tho and they can be cheap. Mine was $15 a few yrs ago.
In the past, I did and believed what the doctor said, too often to my own detriment. At this moment, I am a robot, automatically following through. Most probably for my own good. They are giving me choices, though.
However, I did vacuum my apartment, and I am doing the laundry. Next, I do the dishes.
I know you're beeing funny but because I'm one of those annoyingly super organized people and when there's much to be done making a list really helps me stay sane. A lot of satisfaction in crossing items off of it.
I'm a list person too, too many things to keep track of and if I don't write it down, I'll forget and it doesn't get done. One time I made a honey-do list because he was driving me nuts not taking care of things. I was very PO'd at that point. When I looked at it later, he'd put check marks next to everything - none of which had been done. I asked him what the check mark was for, he said that meant he had read it. Sigh. For my birthday, anniversary, Christmas I always ask for the same thing - for him to do his honey do list. It's become a tradition. Sometimes he actually does one or two of them.
For me, the biggest benefit of having a list is being able to sleep. I mainly make a list when I have things that need to be done that I might forget the next day. It keeps me awake. So, I make a list to get it out of my head!I know you're beeing funny but because I'm one of those annoyingly super organized people and when there's much to be done making a list really helps me stay sane.

I've got to remember the his check-off notation method and give it a try around here.
I've actually gotten out of bed and made a list just to stop thinking about 'stuff' when trying to fall asleep.
When Nancy was in the hospital, I would sneak in soft serve ice cream from Braum's. Depending on her diet I would take her a Mix which is soft serve with crushed candy bars or cookies. She loved Braum's, a local ice cream shop.
When we moved to Oklahoma City from Texas it was winter. We were living in a rental house until we could buy a place. For Christmas, all she wanted was for me to clean out the garage so she could park in the garage. She hated having to clean off the snow, ice, or frost from her car prior to going to work.I'm a list person too, too many things to keep track of and if I don't write it down, I'll forget and it doesn't get done.

Just an FYI for those interested:
Another program being offered to many people and to check out is "ACCESS" that is provided by AT&T /U-verse . . . only cost $5 - $10 per month . . . For approximately 2 years - I have only paid $5 a month for their 3 megabits per second offer and had no problem with WiFi, even with connecting multiple devices at the same time (Smart TV, Laptop, Tablet, & Smart Phone) - even let a neighbor who uses a Smart Phone & Kindle to surf the net connect too . . .

BTW: Even if you don't get Food Stamps/SNAP at the moment, it's worth applying (especially if you have a limited income/senior/disabled/etc.), because if you even qualify for the bare minimum amount you can qualify for a lot more benefits and offers for people who get SNAP too (i.e., Safe Link - Free Cell Phone/etc) . . .

Damn what a morning. Ginny called at 00730 and informed me that she was coming home today instead of going to rehab and the doc said ok. So I'm running around trying to find all the parts to the commode. Wondering what I'm going to do when she can't walk. She put me on the spot and said well you want me to come home right? I didn't know what I was going to do. Well Gdaughter called her and tried to get her to realize I couldn't do it yet. Then the doc said no you need to go to rehab. She said as sooon as they get a bed I called them and they are all ready for her just has to get a little more stable. So she is still going to the Rehab place which is really nice. The neighbor was there I was there when it wasn't so nice the neighbors mother was there. She'll get PT 2 or 3 times a day and get her back on her feet. Man I was like a chicken with his head cutoff. Really had me going for a while. She can't come home yet plus her WBC dropped a little today so they are not quite ready to move her out of hospital yet. Definitely got my heartrate up. Sheesh
Me too.
I'll check it out. Thanks!Just an FYI for those interested:

That was close!
Yep..........always check with the doc. We patients who REALLY want to go "to the house" are a tricky bunch. We will try anything to get there
I've done that too. Once the list was 3 pages long on college ruled paper, no wonder I couldn't sleep. However, for the next 3 days I did a good job prioritizing and knocking things off the list.

Want him? He's an original now, but is due for a tune up in a few weeks and will come with several replacement parts!
Well Ginny is all transferred. The place is also balking at her pain medication and talking about cutting her down. Now is not the right time to put her in withdrawals. I'm going to take a copy of her prescription in and tell them she has been on them for 1 1/2 to 2 years. I guess they don't realize she has 9 months to 1 year to live. That pretty much exempts her I believe. Talking about switching her to Condroitin or something like that part of the time. I don't know what it is that they can't understand. I will try to get them straightened. Possibly they don't know she has Stage 4 SCLC or something.
Today was one of those days for me. I had 3 prescriptions to fill/refill today. I went to the pharmacy I have used for the last 5 years. The tech that took my scripts called me over and said that I didn't have script coverage. They double checked and got the same thing, no coverage. I ask for and she gave me the phone number. I went outside and called. To check on the coverage it was a 30-minute wait time. I could go to the base and check for under 30-minutes. The base pharmacy was able to fill one of the scripts and the others will be taken care of next week. Come to find out I had not made my annual payment in August. I called Tricare and made a 5-month payment (I will transition to Tricare for Life and Medicare A&B in February). I felt everyone I talked to were very professional and understanding. My coverage was restarted as of September 1st so there will not be any gap in coverage. I think one thing that helped was I was not being confrontational. I was polite and didn't try to make accusations or point fingers. Another example of catching more flies with honey than vinegar.
If the pictures of the vaping liquid in my most recent previous post are in violation of an ECF rule, somebody please let me know so I can delete them before a mod jumps on me. I didn't know, but I see that a 3-letter acronym I used was censored, and that same acronym is printed on the bottle.
