Another Monday Rolls Around

United States
September 19, 2022 9:57am CST
Happy Monday Everyone! another week has started and it's a nice start to the morning. The sun is shining and the temperatures are decent. Saturday came and went in a flash and yesterday my oldest daughter came over to spend the day. Both her husband and son went to the Giants football game so we had a girls days. We had lunch and caught up on some tv shows that we both watch. I was nice to have company and different things to talk about. Today life is back to normal. I had my coffee and I'm watching the funeral of Queen Elizabeth. Laundry is going and after I myLot for awhile I'll do a quick vacuuming and dusting. My BIG news overall is I cancelled my cable. YAY!! dropped the cable and upgraded the internet. A huge savings each month and better that money is in my pocket than theirs. How was your weekend?

Congrats on cancelling the cable. I spent most of the weekend posting pics of things I want to sell, and of course watching football.

I'm not an avid football fan but my son in law and grandson are. They have season tickets to the Giants games

I mowed the lawn this afternoon and I hope it's the last cut for this year.

I doubt very much that it is the last cut

@Marilynda1225 - Half of the lawn is still brown because of the lack of rain, but part is back to green and it grew up quite a bit. Let's see if this will be the last.

We're coming close to the last of the season mowings. In the next few weeks our lawn crew should be here to cut the bushes and get ready for winter

I've been hanging on to cable for way to long and finally cut it off. What surprises me most is they didn't even try to talk me into keeping it. SMH Hope you love your new place Ocean

We haven't had cable for ten years. Everything we do/watch is online. (We pay $64 a month for unlimited internet.) Nothing happened here over the weekend. I hope you're having a good day.

@Marilynda1225 That's a lot better than cable and internet bills together, which is what we used to pay. It works for us.

Watching online is the best way to go and $64 a month sounds pretty reasonable to me

That's quite cheaper and perhaps the way to go. Glad you got it right.

Glad you got to spend time with your daughter. Congratulations for cutting the cable. Do you have any streaming services? My weekend was OK. Very quiet.

We had a nice relaxing weekend. We also did the same several years ago. We weren't really making much use of cable so we canceled it. We always used youtube, netflix and such more.

That is great that you got rid of your cable service, it really isn't necessary anymore. We haven't had any in over 5 years and we do not regret it. You had a good busy day today, all of that laundry and housework done, makes me wonder what kind of plans you have for the rest of the week.

I'm very happy that I got rid of cable and what surprises me most is they didn't even try to keep me as a customer! All they said was ok My days are always busy even though half the time I don't know what I'm busy doing. I've been tryng to read a book that is only 200 pages and can't seem to get around to it. I don't move as fast as I used to so whatever I do takes twice as long these days

Good for you for cutting the cord. We did it almost 6 years years ago and we haven't missed it at all. Glad you had a nice visit with your daughter while her husband and son went to the game.

I remember you saying you haven't had cable in ages. I don't think Iem going to miss it and wish I had done it sooner. Mostly I was afraid I'd miss some of the channels I like without cable but I'll have to live without them since they increased the price more than I'm willing to pay Hope you and Mike are doing well

@Marilynda1225 The only thing we subscribe to is Sling TV which gives us some basic cable channels for $30/month. Between that, and the other channels on our ROKU and over-the-air antenna we have plenty to watch.

Nice! Good weekend too! Did my laundry early last week. Light cleaning and reapplied for SNAP online today. First yr online reapplication, nice and easy. Next, my Senior Bus Pass reload, online too in a day or two. Life is getting easier, . My weekend quiet. Shopping on Saturday got everything, except electric fan. Target, solved it with free shipping too! I like this easier life!

You sound like you've been busy too and glad that your reapplying for SNAP was easy. Sometimes stuff like that can be a pain. It's great you were able to get your fan from Target with free shippng. That's a win win

@Marilynda1225 Thanks, yes, so convenient free shipping! Just missing a screw which I replaced easily. Up and running now. I was so very relieved, we could reapply online. All done in a few hours on my phone too.

@Marilynda1225 It is a small park. Yes, the kids had a fun time there. I like Charlie Brown and Snoopy since I was a child.

There's so many options for streaming and I got Hulu live. It has all the same channels and shows that I watch and it's so much cheaper than what I was paying for cable
