AngelaHunter February 8, 2016 Share February 8, 2016 One week people. 1 week. WE MADE IT! You answered my question before I asked it. Thanks! Now I actually get AMC, so I can watch it the same night as everybody else, but one hour later. No way can I sit through those insane commercials. I thank the gods-that-be for the gift of DVR! 1 Link to comment

I've timed it, and can tune into my DVR recording at the 21 minute mark to FF through all the commercials. :-) nachomama - we haven't made it until the show starts airing on the 14th.

I might get another one in 2020...Lots of new technology coming that year that should last a while! 1 Link to comment

AngelaHunter February 8, 2016 Share February 8, 2016 walnutqueen, thanks for the info re: watching while recording. Very helpful! As for cars, the longest I've kept one has been seven years. I now have a 2014 Toyota Matrix. It has 4,300 miles on it and I'm pretty sure I'll die before it does. Best car I ever had? 1970 Chevy Malibu. That thing was a tank. 2 Link to comment

I never tempt fate! ;-) Heaven forbid, I just meant we are no farther away, today, than we are on any other normal week. And I too clock in at about 20 minutes, dvr'ing. I have to check with any hulu peeps, I think only previous seasons are available for free, current you have to pay for so that will factor into whether or not I dump cable. I can watch the next day, no problem, I can avoid spoilers for that, I don't post in current episode threads until well after but I can't read them til I watch and by then everything's been said, asked and answered. but the my day is going, I might not make it to next Sunday. I sincerely hate my job, very first thing when I walked in was get yelled at that I hadn't sent someone a proof. I was never told that I needed to, but send it I did. So then his brother screams at me why did I send it, I hadn't shown it to him. (and I had, I made it "bigger" as instructed, then when I went back to ask him what color shirt it was going on, he yelled at me DOESN'T MATTER WHAT COLOR SHIRT, so I just turned around and went back to my business). I do not try to make anything more difficult but jesus can I step in it every single time. Link to comment

Nashville February 9, 2016 Share February 9, 2016 Ahh i wish I didn't have to drive so far. I'd require a bullet proof car, armed guard and a couple of pit bulls to get me to live by my work. It's not pretty. Back when I drove to work, my commute was about 20 miles one-way; not too bad in terms of distance, but the last 1/3 was skirting around a huge lake on boondock roads, and the commuter traffic was the worst - skill-wise, not volume-wise. Which becomes more of a factor when precip hits asphalt, especially the frozen kind. The last 2-3 years I've been working from home, though. Pluses are I save a ton on gas, nobody else empties the coffee pot without making a fresh one, I always know whose ass hit that toilet seat besides mine, and pants are always optional (at least, until they actually get serious about getting and making me use that video teleconferencing camera they've been threatening for the past few years). Minuses are I'm out of the loop on agency UTR conversations/scuttlebutt which doesn't rise to the level of email unless I reach out and touch someone, and there's no such thing as a snow day.

Unfortunately I am like their security blanket around here so they don't let me do that often. I get so much more work done without the higher ups bothering me all the time. All the reviews I've read so far sounds like this mid season premier is as good as last years or even better. I'll admit I'm no where near as excited as I was last year at this time, but I'm hopeful that we are going to get an awesome back 8. 2 Link to comment

I haven't been posting much lately because I finally followed up all of my talk with action and have registered in a couple of night courses to try to obtain some of those elusive "transferable skills" for my resume. I haven't felt secure at my job for a year or so, so I decided I needed something to make myself more employable to other places. Guys. Studying is hard. And I'm so tired. Clearly, I am too old for this sh*t!! :D Anyway...really looking forward to our show starting up again. Will definitely make time for that! Cheers! 3 Link to comment

nachomama February 10, 2016 Share February 10, 2016 Would a tablet do ya, WQ? There are some very decent sized tablets that could connect you to the web for cheap if you cannot replace the gooder laptop and the zombie laptop finally turns to goo. I finally got my smart tv hooked up to the ethernet rather than wifi, 20 feet cable wasn't enough, I had to patch it through a defunct router switch and attach another little 6 foot cord and it's dangly just a wee tad bit in the air. Trust me I'll trip over it some night. But Amazon prime works now. On wifi it just spinned (spun? spanned?) for an hour without ever loading up a show. Netflix played fine over wifi. I'll dump amazon here in a couple weeks since I know it won't fit my needs but use my free trial to check out stuff. I watched "Mad dogs" last night, group of dudes go to hang out with their buddy in Belize who has struck it rich. Has a nice villa, then things go south. Buddy is into some shady business deals, there are guns and gangsters and big fighting breaks out amongst themselves and then hijinks ensue with the bad guys. Kinda devolves into "world's most dangerous game" territory. 2 Link to comment

nachomama February 10, 2016 Share February 10, 2016 (edited) It's possible I'm just not navigating properly yet but I have "Transparent" season 2 set up in my watch list and I didn't see season 1. It must be there. I know I popped Vikings in there and saw that current seasons you pay extra for. So it quickly left my watchlist. But I didn't want to start Transparent on season 2. And I saw the Man in the High Castle listed, I shall check it out. We have a customer that I absolutely loathe. He is a retired gynocologist and the thought of any women every having had him involved in their nethers gives me the heebie jeebies. His business card currently reads "relieving women of the burden of womanhood" emphasis mine. I understand he's an older gentleman but he also primarily brings me utter claptrap like civil war writings. Things about the history of Nathan Bedford Forrest ( for those who don't know he founded the KKK) the article he had me type was about NBF attending the first civil rights meetings that, truly, he was a civil rights guy. uhhhh no, gtfo of my face you douchebag.

My cousin and her husband did that with my mother's dream of moving to Greece. They have a second home there, that they bought years ago. They spend several weeks there at a time, as do my Uncle and Aunt. They weren't interested in Greece, until mum mentioned it to my cousin, back in 1990. Just before we moved back to the States. I saw a young-ish actress got engaged to a guy who I think is a multi-millionare, on Sunday. The usual, "I said YES" caption, of a picture of a ring. I thought, "Of course you did" because she's in the bahamas, and loving life. I like her, and I'm sure she loves him, but I really want a vacation, and I was having a bad day. Link to comment

Teach me your tricks because people always always always want to stay at my house. We had a miserable ass snow storm last week. You would think with all the money they haven't spent this winter they could have kept the roads up but nope. I woke up to a 6 foot drift at the end of my driveway Thursday morning, after totally clearing it before bed Wednesday night. I can drive on snow, I can drive on ice, but I can't drive through drifts. My back still hurts from clearing it, and now it's 60 today. Getting old sucks. 1 Link to comment
Irishmaple February 28, 2016 Share February 28, 2016 Hi guys. I have returned but have yet to catch up on the episode I missed so I'm being super cautious around these parts. I promised I'd tell you how seasick I was on the trip but it turns out the non-swimmer who hangs out in the toddler end of the pool has sea legs. I wasn't sick at all while my room mate was ill for the first three days, despite the motion sickness pills she took. It was a little choppy but I really liked it. Fort Lauderdale has a small and efficient airport so we were on our way to the ship in no time. The Oasis of the Sea is huge. It loomed over every other ship in each of the ports. I didn't know something that enormous could actually float. Our room had a balcony which was a bonus. Our first port of call was Nassau in The Bahamas. We hired a driver and he gave us a tour but there wasn't much going on since it was Sunday. Then St. Thomas a day later from where I brought back a sun burn and a pretty aquamarine bracelet. Finally, Charlotte Amalie on St. Maarten where we had lunch on the beach (best fish tacos ever!) and browsed the shops. The main draw seemed to be jewellery stores way out of my budget. The bracelet I bought cost US$ 49 and I paid 32 because that what I had stashed in my bra, which amused the stall owner enough to lower his best price some. I saw a bracelet I liked in St. Maarten too but balked at the best price there - US$ 1300. The Canadian dollar is too low to consider an investment like diamonds, even little chips of diamonds. We cruised back to Fort Launderdale for the next couple of days, taking advantage of the pools, the bars and the restaurants on board. I always thought cruises were boring but I had a really great time and I'm planning to talk my sister or BFF into one. Arrived back last night to a bracing -3 and feel now like someone ran a truck over me. I need to sleep so badly but that laundry refuses to wash itself. Sorry to hear about snow storms and drifts and that. I didn't miss Canadian weather even a little! 3 Link to comment
nachomama February 28, 2016 Share February 28, 2016 Glad your trip was good. I went on a super cheap cruise a few years ago and even though it's not the biggest boat I didn't even feel like I was on a boat and also didn't get seasick. Seriously you can hardly tell you're floating unless there's bad weather. And usually you can score cheap booze in ports too. Whether or not you can schlep it to Canadia I don't know but also the last day on the boat before you dock the next day everything goes on sale Super cheap. So definitely if there's jewelry or tropical clothes anything you have your eye on buy it the last day. I just spent the weekend entertaining guests and I'm exhausted. No sleep. Much drinkin but some awesome dinners. Took a touristy haunted tour that made me laugh at its stupidity. Very good time but holy crap I'll sleep like the dead tonight and grateful for quiet time. And obviously people Gotta leave before walking dead. :D 2 Link to comment

Irishmaple February 29, 2016 Share February 29, 2016 Travelling with my room mate has been a revelation for me. I'm the sort of person who always needs to know I can leave when I want; I get twitchy when I catch a ride with friends to a party in the suburbs because I can't leave until my friends do! Because of this I never thought I would be comfortable with a contained environment like a ship or a resort. Having experienced both now I've found them incredibly relaxing. When I travel with my sister we explore cities and my sister is a self-described "aggressive sightseer". If it's there to be seen, we go see it. I walked miles around Barcelona when we were there, well worth it, but not exactly relaxing! 3 Link to comment
kj4ever March 1, 2016 Share March 1, 2016 I've always thought about doing a cruise but I am afraid that they will have to sedate me once we reach a point you can't see land. Seriously just thinking about it makes me anxious. 1 Link to comment
Irishmaple March 1, 2016 Share March 1, 2016 I didn't see land for two whole days on the return trip. Nothing but water. For miles. In every direction. It made me twitch a bit but there's at least one bar on most of the decks and isn't that what alcohol is for! So I finally had my Walking Dead mini-marathon and, damn, some stuff happened while I was away. I'm thrilled about Richonne, iffy on Jesus and dreading Negan who sounds like a nastier version of the Governor or Joe the Claimer. Can't we just do world building and trading for a moment before unleashing the next Big Bad? 1 Link to comment
