Good morning friends.
Going for a manicure at noon and then have to get to the grocery store to get some soy sauce. Want to get started on the beef jerky today so I can get it into the dehydrator tomorrow and it will be done on Sunday. This morning I'm going to try to put some Christmas decorations up. Trying hard to get into the mood.
Our last nice day for a while. Really damp outside this morning, think it must have rained a bit during the night.
The DVR is the only think I miss not having cable TV. I haven't been able to figure out how or if I can record shows with RoKu. Guess I'll have to ask my son. There are a few network shows I miss and sometimes 2 movies on at the same time and I can't watch them both.
Have a Fabulous Friday. bettyj

Morning All!
Betty, I use a Roku and unless you have a different version than mine (it’s pretty old), they don’t act as a DVR. I’ve reduced my cable down to basic basic and to be truthful, I don’t miss it at all. I subscribe to the Pramount channel right now for $10.+ a month and when I’ve exhausted watching all that I want, will cancel and move on to some other channel. May go back to Netflix for a while – there are some new series there that are spiking my interests. They’ve been offering me deals that may be too good to pass up.
Shopping order from Shoprite should be here soon. Wouldn’t you know the things that I really needed are out of stock – go figure!
Wishing everyone a pleasant day!
Dayle

Good morning everyone
Yay. Got up at 7:15. Maybe getting back on my normal sleep pattern.
Today I need to go to the bank and post office. Will be glad to get these 2 things off the list.
We will also work in the garage getting furniture ready for donation. Lots of moving around stuff.
Betty- I agree the DVR is wonderful. Do you get the local stations?
Peggy Sue - nice weather you are having

Because I'm using my sons RoKu stick I only get some of the local channels. I pay nothing unless I subscribe to one of the pay for channels which I don't intend to do. Now I only pay for internet service and my phone both through Spectrum. I went from almost $300 a month for cable TV, internet and phone to less than $75. Quite a savings. I have been watching Heartland on NetFlix which was 13 seasons. Also watched Virgin River and Northern Rescue. Enjoyed them all. Of course sticking some Hallmark movies in too. My TV watching is mostly at night unless I'm having a bad day then I might turn it on in the afternoon.
Gotta go for manicure soon. bettyj

Love my DVR and record more than I watch live!! I do have some favorite shows and can just FF past commercials and station breaks. Hooray. I also have Spectrum but don't have cell phone plan on there, since I am on my DGKids plan, now that he is working for Sprectrum thinking he will be changing that soon but it will be his bundle. I always ask if price has gone up or if I use too much data but he says not at all and it is a good plan. I don't use cell phone for much . Mostly safety when I am driving. Do not like talking on cell phone and still have landline and that is on my Spectrum account. I am bummed that some of the good shows I have seen advertised on Paramount are going to be on Paramount Plus. I do have to ask about that. I do not stream on my Ipad or computer. When I am ready to watch TV it is on my big screen in living room and get comfy!! My radio is on all day. Love music.
Betty, sometimes I don't think I am in the mood to put up any decorations but then when I do it does help the mood. I found my covered candy dishes this morning, some boxes I didn't mark but always fun to see what is inside.
My new washer is running , sure makes a lot of different noises than my old one. Have almost everything figured out . My old one a lot different. Just a dial but did read what the different settings do differently. Wanted just cold water and had to put dial to dark colors. I am liking it a lot!! So easy.
today I am staying home and mopping the bathroom floor in basement. Very small and going to do it on hands and knees. Can hardly turn around in there. I have decided on the new color for bathroom after Christmas. Took me awhile. was trying to decide between two very different colors. Not sure what else, more stuff put up I think. knic knac shelves still bare and no winter/Christmas placemats found yet. Have to decide on which Christmas tree to use in picture window so I can decide on which table to use. The skinny hall way one or an end table I have here in computer room. Decisions and Decisions.

Staying home finally and glad of it! so glad my Christmas stuff is done. Catching up on my museum COVID archival work. My state AZ is hot, 14% spread with a lot not bothering to test. We are back to January here before Omicron comes. While CA is booked out for boosters, there are easily available here with not a lot getting them. Few wear masks. 2936 new cases in my county alone since yesterday with few ICU spots available. Yikes.

My sister started RoKu recently and sounds like it is very reasonable. We still go with Directv. Mainly to get the big 10 network.
Just heard that the new strain of covid is now in Nebraska
Today was a big day. I got a new phone. My old IPhone said it was full and I went to see what I could do. There is not a lot of storage on it and it's completely out of date. So I bit the bullet and got a last years update and have way more storage. So have been playing with it. Also more online gifts are coming in. Yesterday I put my homemade vanilla into little bottles I ordered on line. Plan to give one to all the family who bake and that is most of the adults and almost adults. Still have gift cards to find.
Good night
Helen
