Less Cable TV More Money For Me

This is why I had extra money this month. Before the bill was $202.02 (strange how it worked out that way). I talked to them on chat and they changed my plan for me so I did not have to payout the contract.

Now It's about $50 less a month after taxes. This is obviously more than $50 less, but there was a credit on there as well. I'm very glad they changed it for me. It gives me some extra money and lets face it I just don't watch TV anymore.

I watch 50X more streaming than I ever did TV. The shows I watched all but one are on the on demand for the Crave package I still have on the TV. The rest of the channels are gone, and just Crave and the regular channels the government makes you have. Trust me, if I could just have the Crave part, I would.

All my sports have been replaced by apps on my phone. Now I don't need to watch them or the sports news to see what's happening, it just pops up on my phone.

It was the biggest mistake in 20 years to get a 2 year contract for the dang Cable TV package. It's a complete waste of money. As for Crave, the app on my Firestick is crap to say the least, so when I cut cable, I'll not be keeping it. I also NOT want to watch the shows on the PC or on my Tablet or worse yet, phone. So I'm just not keeping it.

When I drop cable TV I'll just have Prime and Netflix and Shudder (an addon to Prime). I may add on one more addon to Prime, but it is $4 a month (plus tax). I honestly don't know why Cable TV still exists in a country that the vast majority of people have fast internet. As for news, I can watch national news on Prime for free. Local news I'm already getting online. So no need for Cable TV.

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.

God I Miss You Mom

Image
I miss her some much. We where like best friends in my adult years. We would spend a lot of time together just talking or watching TV together. We often watched Golden Girls on her TV. Our bond was deep. When I had to watch her rot away from cancer, it was something I'll never be over. It took part of my soul watching it happen. Nothing will fix it. For a couple of years I took care of her in her home. I moved into the same apartment building as her, even though the rent was higher than I could do normally. I would cook for her, and help her with everything she needed help with. I gave all I had to the point of exhaustion. I managed to get some help for her, but not nearly enough. I'm disabled and it was seriously hard to do all the work that needed to happen. Then when she was in the home, I visited every day, even when I was in terrible pain. Half of the time she was in a home 5 blocks from my home, and I walked every day, even in the rain. When she needed to be taken to Regi

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

Weight Update Turned Into A Health Care Rant

Image
I don't normally post these in my blog, but on Instagram and Facebook. I just had to mention I've been up and down a bit for years now but staying about the same range in average. For some reason when I got hurt badly on January 1, 2024, in a week I was up 47.6 LBS. The treatment put on a LOT of water weight. The edema was never worse. But I'm back down 44 LBS from then, so it's all good. In 10 years I lost over 100 LBS, then I just seemed to have stopped and started to go up and down a bit in the same range I'm in now for a couple of years. The edema of course, gives me a big jump when it flairs, and when it subsides, I tend to have a big drop. The thing is, it is hanging on a lot longer than it used to, and may be a permanent state in the near future. Before I'd have it flair up and I'd have it go away in a week. Now it's most of the month before it's gone away. It does not seem to matter how much salt I eat either. I skipped the hot dogs and I sti
