John: I applaud you for cutting the cable! Why are ppl paying $200 a month for 12 channels they watch on the reg? You have to get into the mindset of = your smart TV is really just a ginormous iphone

You’ll be downloading apps to your “channel” screen.  HBOMax, weather channel, local news stations, YouTube, FoxNews, prime, Netflix, whatever.  Think about the channels you watched, now you’re downloading their app, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, etc.  It will take a couple months for you to get used to it as you’re accustomed to the channel guide page. I was frustrated for a few days because I didn’t grasp the concept of my TV is now a big phone with apps. Also, this is a few years ago when streaming was in its infancy and no one in my personal circle had embraced it.  My “cable” bill is $54 a month for my internet access, I have google fiber, 1gig.  No taxes, surcharges etc as it’s NOT a utility bill. Google found its way around all that drama.  

Our television time became much more quality.  Streaming controls content that interests your household. We don’t watch the news, we could care less about who is protesting what, politics and religion. We’re too busy living each day like it’s our last in this house! Have fun watching content YOU control! Cheers

Thank you. What finally spurred us to do it was the realization that we were hardly watching any live TV any more, just CNN or the evening national news sometimes and the occasional sports event or music special. We spend much more time watching DVD movies from our local libraries, but we figured out that we could get a lot of the same movies through streaming. Plus we were paying for a land telephone line, when we both have cell phones that we used almost exclusively. Unfortunately, Google fiber is not available here yet, so we still have Comcast/Xfinity for the internet at $75 plus tax each month. But that's a lot less than what we were paying before our moment of enlightenment, even with the three services bundled.

Floid Blue aftershave. I liked quite a lot the sample that a friend sent me, so I decided to invest in a whole bottle.

No thrift stores..None of these were cheap..a forum member and the Bay for these. I don't know if the Dehaven will be useable but just had to complete the collection of them I guess a couple of other bidders were wise to the scarcity of this particular model.

I'll be adding a new bathroom to display the Razvite.
