I don’t have regular tv. I have a smart tv I bought when I came here. I mostly watch movies or series from Amazon and Netflix. I know there’s other stuff I can get but I’ve been happy with that. Using my DVD tonight and watching Chicago Fire.
I unfortunately cannot cut the cord anymore. Since HuluTV, SlingTV, and Youtube TV no long have Fox Sports Midwest, I need cable to watch my baseball.
From March to October, baseball is pretty much the only thing I watch on TV. Other than that, I have little use for cable.
We did it a year ago. The one thing I really miss is the ATT Channel Guide. The Sling version is junk by comparison, and the others I've tried. With ATT if you wanted to see a movie or show you could search for it and if it was up on any channel in the next month it would display and you could set it to record. It gave a decent description of programs with actors and so forth. Sling just took away the previous channel button, to stop you switching during commercials I assume. That's not all.
But then there was the ATT monthly bill.
I got an appt with my doctor Thursday and a cardiologist Friday but I don't know if I can make it that long, may have to go back to a different hospital before then. Running 170/100 no matter what I do.
I've been reading recipes (on ATF) for OOO pie crust. Many of them were similar to what I was thinking (fruits with pie crust, also cookie and something creamy) I used to do fruits with bakery OR creamy... now I keep finding I like both combined.
I was dead set against it. That’s why we didn’t officially cancel cable yet. The equipment is disconnected, but I wanted to make sure going streaming wasn’t a huge mistake. But, Hulu Live gave us everything we had on cable for a third of the price. The first day was a little frustrating figuring out how to get to where I wanted, but now easy peasy. YouTube TV had lots of sports but not A&E/History/Travel channels which we watch a lot.
When you're ready, there's good groups on FB that really help people out. Plenty of utube videos for setting up firesticks and such.
We just cut the cord a couple years ago ourselves. Much much more to watch, for us. Wife enjoys hulu and roku, my boy and I use free pirate apps.
If you go back to the ER, tell them you have an appointment with your cardiologist on Friday, but you’re having chest pain along with the high BP. They’ll be more likely to keep you there. It’s a huge liability to send someone getting ready to have a heart attack out the door.
What do you know about Philos? I can get my mom local channels over an antenna. Then Philos is just the entertainment and lifestyle channels which is all she watches. It’s $20 something a month.
Your BP is very high. I know we don't know your medical history but in my line of work we wouldn't let a patient maintain a high blood pressure like that. I do hope you find some decent medical assistance somewhere DL.
Exactly! My nurse practitioner told me once - sometimes a small fib is in order- in order to obtain the medical procedures/labs and diagnosis of symptoms. Remember I told my mom to fib so they would find out why her blood pressure was high! They did after I told her what to say in the ER. Her blood pressure was in the 200's over 100s numerous times in ER. I was desperate to help her.
UPDATE: My last 3 readings have been MUCH better, running around 148/76. That is 30 points lower on the top and 20 lower on the bottom. I am hugely relieved.
