CANCLED TRIP, A LETTER AND STREAMING SERVICES

So the trip I wanted to take to Saskatoon is not going to happen. I am just not well right now and I don't think it's going to change before we went. I don't want to end up running to the bathroom every 45 minutes when I'm supposed to be having fun.

Also my knees are acting up again. It goes in cycles, for months they will be fine then for months they will hurt like crazy when I walk. So that alone is not going to be fun if I'm trying to walk in a mall or in a park.

I went nuts and spent the $60 I had saved for the trip because I figured "I deserve fun". Then I regretted doing it. Good thing is a nice person just donated $60 so it's all good in the end. Life seems to work out.

I have a letter to send out on the 28th before going to coffee and I've already printed it off, signed it and stuffed it in the envelope. Speaking of the envelope, the first one got mutalated in the printer. I'm glad it did not get stuck - I've got literally no idea on how to get it out and the printer was $49 so do I really want to take to a shop to get it fixed? I should run a cleaning cycle on it one of these days though.

I have several things on the DVR to watch and tonight AHS: 1984 is starting up and will record. Looking forward to the new season and seeing how they do it. I'm kind of sure it's a candle lake kind of feel though from what I've seen.

I watched "Unbelievable" on Netflix and it blew me away. It was simply amazing. I have to finish Caravel Row on Prime now - I can't seem to watch more than 1 episode before I need a break - maybe it's just too intense and I can't do it in one go. It's a very good and well done show to say the least.

I've got a year and a half until my cable contract is up and after that it's toast. I am just always not having quite enough money this last while and I'll save $72 by getting rid of it even if I keep the internet with Shaw.

If I switch to Sasktel for internet, I lose the ability to use the WiFi in the common aria as you need a Shaw account to use it. But I have unlimited date on the phone and the ability to download YouTube videos to the phone to watch when I'm doing laundry, so I won't miss it.

Switching would save save me $40 more with the same upload speed but 1/3 the download speed - but I don't need blinding fast downloads. I do however need unlimited bandwidth - lowering speed on Shaw would cap me to 500GB and I'd easily go over that with only steaming to watch.

I thought about getting the HBO + CRAVE service but for $20 a month I expect the freaking app on my Firestick to work and it won't stay logged in. It keeps asking me to go to a web page and authorize the device each time I use the app, so no way in hell.

As for other services, I really am not interested. I figured Shutter was a good idea for $6 a month but I soon ran out of things to watch on it so nope. I don't care about a great deal of the other services, so nope. I'll just stick with Netflix and Prime.

Well I'm off to eat some veggie lunch and then watch some TV - you all have a wonderful day.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns
