NHProud

Always an interesting read. Awaiting final chapter and safe travels home.

You and I are alike in some ways . If something interests us we’re all in . Back in the day when my husband was working and pre-pandemic when shuttles were plentiful to some of the 8 casinos near my home , I thought , I would figure out how to beat the odds . I bought books , subscribed to Strictly Slots magazine and watched this guy Curtis on TV. Sadly, it didn’t work . I no longer put cash in the one arm bandit .

Did you mean 2,500 points ? You are one classy lady .

I will checkout Tom’s guide . I don’t have your patience to do all that research. I hope , you are soon watching your favorite programs on your dream TV . Thank you for your help.

@Sea Dog I hope , you are not in the path of the tornadoes. Take care .

I’m so appreciative for your long reply and the time it took for you to do this for me. I’m going to check out CNET . We have one week left to back out of our contract with Direct TV so we will be buying a new TV this weekend. Thank you for your help . Judy

It has been discussed before at length however I can’t find it so any help here would be appreciated. I’m not looking for in depth replies just basic info of what to look for in buying a streaming TV. We are not into complicated technology and gaming . Just basic stuff. We’ve been watching our 36” not smart TV but have to switch because that is what Direct TV is using . Thank you .

@dani negreanu so very happy for you and your family. Happy Passover !

@Jimbo I like your attitude. @cruiselvr04 I think it’s called Swedish death cleaning . My friend told me she was doing that . How morbid! @firefly333 My neighbors moved in and I never saw a truck . We don’t see them at all . Never ! We alerted our neighbors on our cul de sac that we were coming with a large moving van that took a day to unload. Allied had 5 men to load and only 2 to unload. We told them they needed more men which they got .

Your photos are always spectacular. We enjoyed our one day in Victoria. My husband’s comment was : “ This would be a nice place to live” .

I like Annie Hall. I’ve watched Last Year at Marienbad more than once and I still don’t get it . We visited Marienbad and that explains the interest . If anyone understands that film please share 🎥🎬🎞️

Microsoft shares are selling at $415.77 which may account for the inflated price in your previous post .

How are your plans coming along for New York City ? It’s the same for the Chrysler building . I was stopped from entering. If you are ever in LA the Bradbury building lobby is very interesting. I was , again, stopped from going in . I saw the interior on a Perry Mason episode. Perhaps, you can talk your way into taking a look in these off limit lobbies.

We liked the Hilton . When we were there there was a lake with ducks . The fish and chips were delicious. I had them every day . There was a cricket field with bleachers outside our sliding door and we watched one game . The problem was the location. The foreign ( from India ) taxi drivers charged us twice what the local driver charged us . I’m very fussy about hotels and this one was nice except for the taxis .

We took the National Express bus from Heathrow to Southampton. We boarded the bus at our arrival terminal in a shaded area with seating. There were taxis waiting at the Southampton bus terminal. I made the mistake, or maybe not, of booking a Hilton that was not too close to city center. One day , we took the bus to Winchester.
