Monday Ramblings

I was up rather early this a.m. so I got on the phone. Called Cable to check on loyalty and the amount of our monthly bill. It is not that different from last year. We have to seriously look at what we are going to do because the bill has just gotten ridiculous. I'm tired of it. I have subscribed to Paramount+, Peacock, Netflix and Hulu, and Disney+ bundle in apps on my Roku tv plus several other freebies. I may go with Sling or some other one to get the other channels I watch like Travel, History, etc. My daughter can get the MeTV app she likes on her tablet for free. I watch a lot of television after I get off the computer. I'm a tried and true tv-aholic. My daughter was having issues with her Paypal account so I went to log into her account and couldn't. Tried several times to reset the password and then log in without success. So I called customer service. The rep verified some things on the account but said there was a log-in issue and to give it 24-48 hours. Okay. I have come to a weird place in my life. Looking back at some of the better memories in my life I find myself not feeling that positive but, rather looking at them with indifference. It's rather sad. I wonder if that is just my depression doing this and if my warm feelings about the past will come back when my mood lifts a bit. Hmm. It will be interesting to see what happens. We turned the heat off both upstairs and down last night. It was a bit chilly but we will get used to it. Has been in the high 30s the last few days. This weekend it's supposed to get up to the 50s.

I cut the cord years ago, when we bought this house. I have Youtube T.v. and a few streaming channels, works out just fine.

I would love to find lower Internet and TV services but it isn’t possible.

Between my 8 hour work day and my after hours of online browsing, I have my fill of the internet. But no issues so far.

Probably depression since I have had this fear that my computer will not start when i press the power button.

@celticeagle I have found out that it is slow moving in the morning but it is now starting a little bit faster than it was set up about three weeks ago.

Our cable bill/TV/Telephone/Internet is outrageous! They ought to be ashamed of themselves. I'm sorry you're feeling low. I try and think about the good memories from the past -- especially the 60s. Those were good times. It is going to be **80** today after having s**w on the ground 2 days ago!

Yes, Idaho is famous for the "if you don't like the weather wait five minutes" phrase and it is a very common phenomenon.
