Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Seven

[2legsshrt]

I'm about to go crazy. Ginny loves watching these Hallmark Christmas Movies so that's what we watch. I went with Playstation Vue specifically so it has the Hallmark Channels for her so we have 3 of them.

If any of you are considerting dropping cable and go to a streaming program, Playstation Vue is the one to get, more expensive by a little but for $86 a month you get a ton of channels including all 4 networks with the local channels and Showtime and HBO plus a channel lineup with everything you could want to watch.

Why go to all that trouble just to cheat?

Most of it is not cheating, just being fed up with some of the offerings on traditional cable. For me, it is the price. I have Amazon prime with a British sub-package. Much less expensive than the cable package my provider offers. Where I live has excellent antenna coverage.

Yeah it is not cheating in anyway. It's just a different way to get your tv. Now if it was like Kodi and pay nothing for it that's cheating but when you are paying $86 for it it is not cheating but I understand where you are coming from. Some people prefer getting it on cable maybe cause they can't get a good enough internet speed or whatever. Sometimes peoople don't have the speed which it takes to be able to stream it well enough. It only takes around 15-20 Mbps to get all the channels they offer and get them really well. I've heard of people on here that only get like 6 Mbps. That's not enough to get all the things available well. I only have 30-40 but it works very well. 6 or 7 wouldn't cut it at all.

I seem to be the only one posting so I will say HI!.. And Merry Christmas to all.

 

[Nermal]

Well, you know. . . . It's much easier to read than post.

Merry Christmas to you, too.

 

[Janet H]

Merry Christmas to you both. I wasn't posting last night since I was working on our Christmas cake layers and then hit the sack. Didn't sleep well at all last night so I was up at 5:00 checking my list so we're organized for Christmas.

Yes we are going to talk to them about this. If it will increase her life expectancy then that is a biggie. It's just har.aakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkd for me to realize she is as sick as she is. She does really well. I don't know how she does it. I am honestly not sure she realizes how bad this type of cancer is. I am not going to break her bubble. Because she gets into remission the probability of it returning with a vengence is very high. Maybe she understands how bad this cancer is. It's one of the worst as far as it's returning. It's the one that is directly linked to smoking.There is no cure, remission is the best you can hope for. I just feel like he is very pessimistic about life expectancy but that is the way he is. He doesn't try to make you feel like you're possibly getting better.,I see changes in her more and more and it hurts bad. We planned on enjoying our retirement for as long as it lasts, but he gave her 9 months to a year. She is not ike the woe is me type person. She is strong and very upbeat. I've been trying to get her to stop vaping but she says " Hey I;ve got this so whats it going to do kill me. She is only vaping 2mg juice or less but I know it is irritating her lymphnodes. She stopped smoking cold turkey the day of her diagnosis and hasn't gone back even once.

I think I might have dozed off for a minute.

For some reason I am not given the edit preference on this post or I'd get rid of all those K's.

For some reason yesterday I wasn't awake more then 3 hours total today I can't sleep. Don't know if it is this Cymbalta or what. Something strange is going on. When I was awake it was like I was in a cartoon or something. Very detached. Really strange feeling.

Give it a while, you may have to get used to it.

We are both concerned about these 10 radiation treatments to her brain. While it is good for preventing this cancer from sneaking back to the brain there are also concerns about side effects. I'm sure if you let the doc know about our concerns with it she will say things will be fine but of course that doesn't make it any less concerning. I'm also sure that others had the same concerns.

10 LOW dose treatments over a period of time. Or brain cancer. I choose treatments.

I keep getting catds from the Neptune Society. Think they are trying to tell me something. Wonder if they have a 2 for 1 deal. That could work.

It was either that or Ya' wanted to give the "K" key some extra attention, especially since it doesn't get used as much as - "I" . . . And all the other "Vowels" sitting above it . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Ya' can always ask a moderator to "edit" the post when they have time, or Ya' can just leave it as a reminder that "You" enjoyed a little "Nap" time . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Yeah it is 10 doses in a row over 2 weeks. And it does have side effects.

Yep it's not hurting anything. Could've been worse.
