  1. You are able to watch right now? I just spoke to a customer service representative and was told that was why I wasn't able to watch the series I am trying to watch. She said streaming was no longer available. We were trying to watch Once Upon a Time. Edited to ask: Is it a movie you rented or just general content?
  2. It worked! Streaming again!! Now you must download an app. When did this craziness start?
  3. Thank you all! I read mixed answers and google defaults to paying for tickets not inflight purchases.
  4. Salmon. It's great cold over salads. Same with steaks or any beef really. Just slice and serve over a loaded salad.
  5. Of course not. Nor did I mean it that way. No reason to shout. I have close family members with mental illness and others with substance abuse issues. While addiction may not be a choice, first trying a substance often is. It’s hard to get addicted if you never try a substance. Do I believe that some addictions happen without choice? Yes, I do. After a serious injury, for example, one often is prescribed a strong pain medication with addictive properties. Another example would be chronic illness. Do I believe some homelessness and addiction is caused by choices one has made? Yes, I do. Not all and maybe not even the majority, but some certainly is.
  6. I don't know what the solution is. In OKC, we have a large amount of opportunities for assistance from shelters and day labor opportunities, as well as, no-strings attached, regular meals given by local churches. Unfortunately, some of our local homeless population is caused by location. When formally incarcerated people are released they are given a choice of a small amount of cash and a bus ticket to a Greyhound station. We have a popular one in down-town OKC. Also, due to the fact that we have two major interstates intersecting here, a certain amount of the homeless population will travel the interstates to panhandle. Quite lucratively, I might add! Unfortunately, many of our homeless population is due to mental illness and personal choice. Not that they choose homelessness, just poor choices like addiction that can result in homelessness. No shelters around here will allow a dog to accompany their owner so many of our homeless dog owners are faced with the choice to abandon their dog or stay homeless.
  7. I'll go first. They discontinued Lipstick Queen's Frog Prince. It took me years to find a decent shade of lipstick that was flattering and did not dry out my lips. I am bothered more by this than one should be.
  8. Dh suggested Diff'rent Strokes. So far it's been a hit with everyone.
  9. Thanks for all of the suggestions! 100 plus degree heat is tough. We've done a bit of school work and pool time, however there are many more hours in a day to fill. One can only play so many hours of Madden. *Ahem, here's looking at you teen boy of mine!
  10. Agreed! It's tough! I'm trying to avoid everyone slinking off into their own rooms to play electronics all day. Not that a tv series isn't electronics, but at least we are all together, right? The boys like all things Marvel and super hero. The girl prefers Hallmark type movies and cartoons. Today we watched the Minion movie and it was a hit among all.
  11. I loved the A-Team as a child! They've watched some of the episodes. I had quite forgotten about that series. Thanks!
  12. Are there any movies or series on Hulu, Prime or Netflix that would entertain 18 and 16 year old boys and still be appropriate for an 11 year old girl? It is in triple digits and I can only sit by the pool so many hours a day!
