I got the firestick coming

Amazon's FireTV stick that is. It will arrive on Thursday. I decided to get it because I cancelled my xbox live subscription. The only time I play games is when my nephew is here, and we never play online. I am also giving my cousin my 360. I offered it to my nephew but he didn't want it, he was sure to tell me that he wouldn't mind having my xbox one though. I don't watch a lot of t.v. but there are some series I'd like to watch. I will have to wait until I get the stick to decide what networks i might sign up for. You can sign up for individual networks through the firestick. I think starz will be one of them at $8.00 / month. I can watch The Outlanders, a show I'd probably enjoy but haven't watched yet. Speaking of shows, who here has watched Stranger Things? I've been told that I should watch it, but I haven't made the chance to do so yet. I walk every day, sometimes twice. I also try to get up from the computer or my reading more and just walk through the house. Let's see what else has been going on in my world? I haven't been as active here the last few days because I am trying to get back into using swagbucks. Many of you know I use swagbucks to somewhat supplement my income incase I can't make it to work some days in the winter. That's about it really. Basically I am trying to be more active, giving away my xbox 360 (as well as the games and accessories) to my cousin, the fire t.v. stick is coming and I am on swagbucks more. Work is what it is. How has your week been?

I recently ordered it on Amazon's Prime day they had not to long ago. I hooked it up at work but got frustrated with trying to stream HULU, the WIFI here is pretty bad at times. I took it home and plugged it in but was as far as I got. I purchased it primarily because I want to do away with cable and wanted to try out Sling TV, but haven't gotten around to trying out Sling yet. I also had purchased a pressure cooker on the Amazon Prime day and just used it for the first time yesterday and love it. Can't wait to use it again. Nothing much else is going on here this week.

I don't have HULU anymore. At one time I had hulu, netflix and amazon instant video. I tend to watch amazon more than any other. You know that you can purchase access to t.v. networks through prime? I checked out sling t.v. but I'm just not sure about it. I think, personally, I'd be better of just purchasing the main network I want and then watching everything else on amazon video or netflix. I didn't partake in prime day as nothing caught my eye at the time. Had I seen the pressure cooker I would have probably picked it up as we need a new one here.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I don't pay for my Amazon Prime membership so am not eligible for the TV, Movies and music part. I have Netflix and Hulu and full cable and the cable bill is just ridiculous, so I though with Sling I could get the channels we watch and save a few bucks. The pressure cooker was a good deal and they only let you buy 1, or I would have ordered one for my daughter as well. Other than the Fire stick and the pressure cooker nothing else caught my eye.

@beaniefanatic13 You will have to let me know what you think to sling if you ever try it.

I had to check Amazon to see what is the Fire TV Stick. This is not available in our country.

I don't know if it's available anywhere outside of the US at the moment. I am sure they will eventually try to extend it to other countries.

I have seen it all the time, especially recently on amazon's frontpage for me. It will be here Thursday and I'll set it up then and see about some of the networks I might want to subscribe to. We have cable here but I didn't want to hook the cable box up to my xbox one (which is where I would have had to at the time) so ended up giving it to another family member instead.

I haven't watch stranger things, but I keep hearing it's good. I'm almost through with a book I'm reading that is really good. I got a small watermelon yesterday. So I will be eating watermelon the next three days.

I started to watch it last night. I am about to start the fifth episode. I want to start it before work but I feel as if it's a show best watched at night and it's daylight now. I'm in the middle of reading a book but put it down because I didn't want it to end too soon. I love watermelon but those personal ones never last too long here.

Was that a question? Whether I enjoy it or not?
