Thank you!! We haven't looked into to YouTube TV, I didn't even know about it really - thanks!!!! I have way too many streaming things with like one show I can't live without, haha. HBO/Max, Showtime, AMC+, Hulu, Netfix, Amazon... I need to pair down for real.

I am still keeping track of my individual streaming services and even with all the ones I like, I am still astonishingly ahead on costs. I did find that for some annual subscription are the best and then there are a few that I just add after a show is out and binge it for that month.

I was thinking of just catching the free trial or weekends for certain shows. If we soleyl stream all the channels we want, it is way cheaper than cable!

The options are really YouTubeTV or HuluTV to get all the channels you are used to having with Directv. And everyone for YouTube tv logs in with their own profile so I only see what's saved in my cloud (no more DVR in the home) and when I'm traveling I have it all on the app on my computer or iPad or phone. We chose YT TV over Hulu since we had the nfl package add-on. It's great service. Just fab!

We were looking at it last night and I had no idea - it has everything we want! But, no DVR which I love and no channel surfing during commercials for Rob. But if we want to cut that cord, we'll have to deal with that. We might talk our cable company into a better deal first. IDK - I just don't want to feel ripped off!

I don't know if you need the DVR with streaming though because things are always just there (once they are released). I haven't had the DVR in about 4 years and I haven't missed it.

It was nice to record shows I like without having to remember. Sometimes it's a surprise when a new season of whatever starts and shows up in the DVR! I would be fine I'm just spoiled.

Oh, we pay for the (?) $70 plan and we can forward commercials. What's great is you don't need a DVR - everything is saved in the cloud. And it's not a pain to set up all the recordings like it is on cable where you have to scroll the guide - you just open the YouTube tv app on your phone (or on the tv) and search every show name and click "add to library". It's super duper easy. We love it and wish we had cut the cord sooner!

The only time we can't forward commercials is if we don't record it / save it to our library and watch a playback version that's available on demand.

Good morning, everybody!

It hasn't been a bad or even a particularly long week, but i'm still really happy that it is Friday. This weekend will be pretty quiet and mostly gym time, the Fun Run tomorrow morning, March Madness and taxes. I have to do my extension payment and first quarter estimated tax, so I may as well fill out my whole Organizer and submit the information. Hopefully talk to one or more children.

It's been about 13 months without Miralax. I stopped taking it when I was doing Whole 30, because with all of the fruits and vegetables, I definitely did not need it. But, as my eating returned to normal, I still haven't gone back to it. I did use it two of the five days that we were in Bermuda last May because I wanted predictability with the offshore fishing trips. But just those two times. I will probably always keep some on hand and in my travel toiletries. I guess that I consider myself an occasional user now.

Kelly, I think that the park that the A's will play in at Sacramento is the one that we were going to go to a couple of years ago. I believe that the team was called the Sacramento River Cats. Speaking of baseball, this Pittsburgh Pirates jumbo Hot Dog with Pot Roast, Pierogis, and Pickles is calling go me. Unfortunately baseball season will be over by the time of our visit.

QOTD: I don't think that my hunger really went away for more than a couple of months. I still have restriction. I think that I also have a much higher metabolism than pre-surgery. So it's mostly about food quality and grazing. Neither of which i am anything to write home about. I'm here for a reason.

Breakfast: Bagel

Lunch: Steak

Dinner: Sausage

Have a great day, all!
