I've always enjoyed going the Ellen's Stardust diner. Just need to budget plenty of time as the staff will spend just as much time singing and dancing as they do serving food. But it's to be experienced. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and coming back from being down 5-0 against one of the greatest pitchers (Verlander) was also satisfying. Verlander while a excellent pitcher and future hall of famer doesn’t have a great record in the playoffs. Philly is having a great year there football team is undefeated and baseball team is in the World Series. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Prime, Netflix, and Disney+. Downgrading cable only knocked $50 off the bill, but we haven’t missed anything yet. Same for me. At least once a year, I research going only with streaming services and it seems Comcast has it priced so that the Internet-only package would be $30 less than my current cable TV package. So I end up keeping it for sports, local news and watching AMC and occasional TBS shows. I have NetFlix, Prime and just acquired HBO Max, all of which account for 80% of my TV watching. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize that. I have tickets to the Ranger/Red Wings game that day. It's a 5 pm game but I'm sure there will still be plenty of left over chaos. I'll need to budget extra time or talk with my nephew about putting them up for sale. But that;s doubtful.

The water from a defrost cycle would drain down behind the interior back panel. But it would freeze up and then we'd find water under the produce bin. Our favorite appliance guy installed an update kit that was supposed to fix the problem but it didn't. The Samsung was otherwise working, but after ten years we decided to replace it. The appliance guy recommended Whirlpool. We're on year 3 with the Whirlpool and it works fine. We bought one that has the regular ice maker but also has an ice maker in the bottom freezer section. We use a lot of ice...and we love having two ice makers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ice melts and refreezes, causing an "ice bridge" that prevents new ice from forming and dropping into the bucket. VERY annoying when I try to get ice and it's empty. We bought a couple of ice trays and leave them in the freezer as backup ice because it happens so often. Had the same problem with our Samsung fridge in Ohio. I like the 4 door layout and ability to switch one of the lower sections between freezer and fridge, but never again will I buy a Samsung fridge. Could never figure out why Samsung thought they could make refrigerators, reviews for them usually aren't good. Looking to buy a 85 inch Samsung Tv for our remodel, feel we need a bigger set since we will probably be watching some now from the New Island while eating. Anyone have one of those new mini- led sets, suppose to be nice and bright. Feel our opened up new room will be plenty bright during the day and this kind of set would be great for the area. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-85-class-qn90b-neo-qled-4k-smart-tizen-tv/6500631.p?skuId=6500631 1 hour ago, Husky1987 said: I do kinda miss the afternoon naps that using my new (since early August) CPAP has made unnecessary.

Since I started using the CPAP, I've can count the number of afternoon naps I've taken on one hand...and not use up all my fingers. I use a C-pap and you are correct you get a much better nights sleep with it. My Wife appreciates it too since there is no snoring when using the C-pap.

I can’t find my notes about how to cash it out (assuming it would work for this) so Mike can tell him about it. Anyone have that info handy? Thanks.

Almost 2 years ago I upgraded my AT&T plan which gave me HBO Max at no additional charge. I may of watch 10 shows so far. I think the kids use it more than us. We are watching a lot less current shows than we use to watch. Hard to give up cable with college football and basketball going. Maybe April 🤔. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, my amazing wife started getting into medicinal herbs and gardening. She did some research and made some tinctures that I put in my morning smoothies every day. Raspberry Leaf, Milk Thistle, Dandelion, and Stinging Nettle. Since I started using those, one of the benefits is I now wake up in the middle of the night maybe once or twice per week.

I have a friend who was born in NY but her parents were born in Aruba.She has lived there most of her life and does not believe in conventional medicine .She told me there is a flower that grows in Aruba that she boils in water and drinks the solution afterward.This woman and her 7 siblings are all highly educated and they have the same beliefs.Yesterday I began using something for pain that is a plant that grows in France.I am feeling a bit better after just a little over a day. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 2 nights were 4 hours, each night. Attending a family wedding tonight which means another late night, although I will be limiting my wine intake as that tends to keep me tossing and turning well into the night. I'm sure Sunday into Monday I'll sleep well. Looking forward to it. 🙂 Enjoy the wedding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
