My parents have been married 64 years today. And both are still healthy and engaged in the lives of their children, many grandchildren, and great grandchildren. What a blessing.

This was the remark from the rep on the phone last night, "you have been with us for 18 years, what changed your mind now" Simply told them that they take better care of new customers and that I only watch about 10 to 15 channels of the 150 package I had and was tired of paying for more. Of course he tried to sell me a cheaper package for 12 months and then back to the regular price and I shut him down.gooD morning...
Daughter #2 goes back to the Dr on Thursday...scheduling C section. My guess (or hope) is that it'll be Friday or next Tuesday. Baby appears to be healthy...just little. Like 5ish lbs little...due date is 3 weeks away.
@warrior-cat I cut the cord about a month ago. Had Dish for 18 years...I just told'em I was done. Period. Sent my receivers, remotes, switch & the satellite thingy back to them. I have a Firestick & then got a free Roku stick for signing up for DirectTV Now. Saving about $100 a month. I'm OK with it so far, still adjusting & working out some bugs.
Thanks @MdWIldcat55 ... just did some quick hillbilly math and I have approx. 3,435 days left! SON OF A!!
Sounds like the same conversation I had with Spectrum a year ago. I have not regretted cutting the cord.
Spent a lot of time in Corpus Christi and Beaumont during the high time of deployments after 9/11. Was TDY ensuring equipment from Ft. Sill units was loaded on ships and would fix any problems that would arise to ensure they were not denied. Would get there a day before Trains, Line Haul trucks, or Helicopters got there, check all vehicles and equipment into the holding areas then, wait for the ships to arrive for loading. That would sometimes take 2 or 3 days before the ships would come so, we would travel around the area in the GOV's and check out the scenery.
One day, I was driving the boss and his boss down through a beach area when we come up on a truck on the beach and 5 deep sea fishing poles with the lines in the water. As we passed the truck there was a man standing there with a blue button up shirt on.....that was all he had on and the shirt was open. I did a double take and ask the boss if that is what I thought I saw. Both of them were laughing and we drove on down the beach and come upon another man fishing completely naked. Wondering what was going on we traveled a little further down the beach only to see a sign saying that we were now entering a public beach area. We were apparently on a private beach before. I told the bosses that I guessed those guys must have been fishing for sucker fish.

Same thoughts... after 18 years, a person should get 1 yr free!
The only thing, so far, that I've run into with DirectTV Now is I cant stream the St. Louis Cardinals games. I have Foxsports Midwest but they black it out. Not a huge baseball fan but would be nice to watch on a Sunday.
QB and I celebrated 55 earlier this year.
Thanks Don. Just got a call from the doc's office. Go to hospital for pre op exam tomorrow and surgery Thursday. Thanks for your prayers. I am anxious to get this behind me.
Congratulations Don. That's an impressive milestone. It takes a wise couple to pull that off.
Friday will be TGIF. Thursday will be SHIT. Sure happy it's Thursday. Will be thinking of you and praying. Shalom in Christ and Psalm 122:6. FCC.
I'll have your back Sawnee Cat My prayers are with you!.
Don’t be like Bert chasing all the nurses around. Hope your back to enjoying all the Fla sunshine and blue skies pronto.
Tell em a bunch of goof balls send their congratulations.
We'll done. Having a long marriage is making a decision then keeping the promise. Plain and simple.
That's right.We'll done. Having a long marriage is making a decision then keeping the promise. Plain and simple.
I quoted this before I saw the next post. Still agree with you though.
Hang tough Sawnee. You seem to have an excellent frame of mind about this and that is what it takes for success.
evening D
been an eventful few days
Sunday we drove down to Campbellsville for a small going away party. Sunday night I stayed with my son and DIL and then we saw my boy off to BCT yesterday morning. I'm finally used to him not being HERE - but I've been able to talk or text with him every day. It's going to be hard waiting to hear something; it already is.
My DIL really melted down yesterday - but we were all so tired (got about 3 hours of sleep Sunday night) it made it a lot worse than it would have been. I'm glad, though, that while there were a few tears when he actually left, shes did't really break down until later.
All we're waiting for now is to hear what company he's in - not even sure how he'll be able to let us know. We both signed up with FB support groups for FLW soldiers.
I just hope he makes it through basic; several family members on one of the pages talked about how their soldiers did not "zero out."
I'm babbling y'all, and I'm sorry for that -
hope all are well
hugs

three law suits have come in from my last hospital visit.
It is not my fault that those little girls are so cute!

Everyone else - who's ready for football?

My son survived 20 years of the Army. I suppose that he is Army strong now. But the 15 months he was deployed was horrible (he is an Iraqi vet.).

Not going to happen.

I'm just worried, as any parent would be
I want for him to be successful - and scared for him that he won't be.
His dad thinks he'll thrive though; I sure hope so
You're not babbling. Please keep us up to date. I think it's awesome and want to hear about all of it.

I'm ready for football. Still thinking about going to the game.
Incorrigible.
Good luck with the surgery Sawnee. Get it over with and sit back and relax.
Congrats to Mdwildcat folks! My parents celebrated their 63rd anniversary last April.
Best wishes to BKO's son. He'll be fine and God bless him.

Receiver is supposed to be here tomorrow. Propane cooker too.
Friend picked me up this morning and we headed to Lowes to get him a mailbox. He requested me to take his brand new mailbox and fix it so it could be opened from the back. I told him "sure", we could do that. To my surprise, it actually did happen. It works just as well as the front door.
I'm proud of him taking the cheap, do it yourself, method over paying for perfection.
After the mailbox refit we fired up the egg and put on a 2.5lb beef tenderloin. All I did to prep it was let it sit out for a couple of hours in its plastic and then apply a good amount of kosher salt. Cooked it at 300° until the internal hit 110°. Removed it and took out the platesetter and opened the vents. Temp hit 700° and I lifted the lid to finish it up so I could flip it around in the flames.
Turned out perfect. Juicy, tender, with a pink center. We're already talking about he next one.

Where is the watch party for the Kentucky game this weekend? I'm gonna go hang out with the fine people of Alabama for the Louisville game.
He will make it, he was raised by you. You will hear from him soon, Army makes sure of that and when you do, tell him to be Mr. generic, do no more or no less than his Drill Sergeants tell him too and basic will be easier.
I never attend those watch parties anymore. Haven't since 2010, when we lost a game we were favored to win.
Nowadays, I believe they meet at Cover-3 downtown.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F. Expecting yet another triple-digit day.
Y'all behave.
Y'all behave.
