I never heard of this organization ,however,there is likely an organization for everything existing in this world.

I've got an iPhone so not sure about Android, but I'd assume it would be similar.  Touch the part of the screen where the show is playing to pull up the timeline and controls.  To the right of the timeline at the bottom, there's a square with broken lines.  Touch the square to go to full screen.  To get out of full screen, touch the same area that now looks sort of like a broken tic-tac-toe grid.

Got it, Thanks !

We are in Atlantic City, just won $1200 on my favorite machine!  Of course it took quite a bit before it rewarded me.  We enjoyed Happy Hour at McCormicks.   

Congratulations ,Marietta and Charlie.The only time I ever won an amount like that in one day was on a horse race about 40 years ago.

Just had my first post op appointment. Everything looks great and I am doing really well.

Got my Cat-Scan back and as expected I have a hernia. My doctor will refer me to a surgeon. My knee surgeon wants me to wait 3 months before having another surgery. Hopefully it will not interfere with our April 1st Beyond sailing.

 

 


Greg, hoping you both get things worked out so it doesn’t impact your Beyond sailing.

Another question, when I signed up on the main TV I used my User Information for that TV. Since my Wife really uses that TV more then me how does she set up an account for herself. Seems like when she tries to add a User they are asking for my info again.

 

Seems like there should be way to do this?

Thank you, Mark. It is amazing how quickly you revert to "normal" and how hard is to "restart"....

 

At least, DH keeps delivering for our eldest son and me excellent and varied comfort food.... This Friday he tried for the first time stuffed peppers 😉 My "contribution was" mashed potatoes.

He managed to squeeze another small yellow pepper in the middle....

This looks delicious.  Glad that you were able to make it as normal as possible.

Another question when watch Youtube Tv on my Android Phone is it possible to get the picture on the full screen , rather then only about a 1/4 of the screen?

Bob is right, touch the "square" in the bottom right to go full screen.  To change back just turn the phone to vertical.

 

I like that when in vertical mode you see your four recent channels on the bottom.  Makes it easy to channel surf and avoid commercials.

 

I sometimes just want to listen to a news channel and discovered that when in full screen mode you can swipe down from the top to stop the video (you'll see a gray box).  To get the video back just tap the screen a little above the "pause" control.

 

For audio only I wish they'd let you turn the screen off, but it stops the audio.  When I listen to audiobooks, with the Audible app, you can darken the screen and the audio continues to play.

Bring up the screen with Library, Home and Live.  Right arrow to the right, just past search, to your account options.  Then Switch Account, then Add Account.  I don't think there's a limit on accounts, as long as everyone lives in the same household.

 

Having multiple accounts is one of the main reasons we switched to YouTube TV.  My adult son lives here and wanted his own DVR.  Xfinity does not allow a household to separate recordings within a household.  My wife and I haven't found a need for separate accounts yet, but I can see where it would help.

@Coralc  Thanks Patti .  I don’t know about adventurous, I just refuse to sit home and grow old. I hope we have the opportunity to cruise together again soon.

 

Bon Voyage Pat!  Have a wonderful time!!!

I'm back in Florida, recuperating from helping my daughter move into her house.  I'm too old for that...stuff.  At my age, I'm supposed to write checks, not climb ladders and carry washing machines into a basement on a dolly.  I also like being back where the temps are in the 70s, at least for a few days.  Micheline decided to stay there and do more work.  We didn't get the kitchen painted and there is still more cleaning to do.  Not sure when she'll decide that she's done enough for now and give up.  Momma wants her baby girl to be happy. 😁

 

I took a few videos when the living room and bedroom were at their best...before move-in day and the explosion of boxes everywhere.  It's amazing what Scott's Liquid Gold Floor Restore can do to a  hardwood floor.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gorgeous colors, love the rooms.  The second picture (blue room/wallpaper) remind me of our home we had for 42 years.  We had the three windows in the front like in the blue room, and we had beautiful large pocket doors leading to our front hallway to the right of the windows.  We loved that home so very much;  it just got to be too much for us to keep up.  We had the original clapboard siding which we painted every several years.  Your daughter is so lucky to have all of this help from her mom and dad!

I love stuffed peppers!  It's been a while since we've had them.

 

You are in my prayers daily, Dani.  Praying for Peace.🙏🌹

Looks great. Next weekend we are going to a Christmas Tiki pop up bar called “Sippin’ Santa. Looks like they have a good tiki cocktail menu.

Can I place my order now?    I'll start with a Holiday on Ice, then try a Surf Nut, then try a Ho Ho Hot Rum (or just try some of each).    I wish we had tiki bars in my area.

You prefer the nasty litter box to going for a walk with the dog?  🤣

 We have the Litter Robot 3 Connect. Much easier than scooping for 3 cats every day.

Had a nice lunch at Jamie’s but prefer Giovanni’s in general, went to pick up our free diamond pictures and got in the elevator with the pop up. Piano player,  which was cool . I do miss the jazz club on 4, but really enjoy having the small smoke free casino , still about even in casino will try my luck a little later.

I hope the dude running RCI doesn't see the prices of those drinks.

Thanks I will ask my doctor about that. Just got back from the Cat scan. I hated drinking two bottles of that barium. Yucky tasting and then they put a IV in me of dye for some other imaging. My stomach feels horrible right now.

I did the mocha barium. Not so chalky. 
I have bad reactions to the dye, but the guy said he’d put it in very slowly, and it worked. Mildly nauseous, but not violently ill like my usual effect. 
Try that next time.
