About a month or so ago. I wasn't paying for it, the best friend was paying for it and that's just wrong of me to have done so. I own her like a $1000 for it...! So I went to HuluPlus and Net-flicks. It's working out quite well. The only problem I really have is that I am watching it on my 17 inch monitor. I'd like to watch it on my TV. Now I know that there is someway of doing that, via a router and an internet ready DVD player, but I haven't really researched it yet.But eventually I will.
I am entertaining the idea of getting rid of Net-Flicks and getting Amazon Prime. Every thing I type in to watch on Net-Flicks is either on the DVD service or unavailable completely.Amazon Prime seems to have a awful lot stuff I'd like to watch. And it only comes to $7.42 if you divide the $89.00 into 12 months.
Cable was like $100.00 a month.I checked into getting the basic package. Eweee, channels 1 thru 37 for only $70.00 a month. Ridiculous! If I get all three services I'm still only going to paying like $21.00 a month. I really don't understand why more people aren't doing this.

Car Trouble and The Flu
It has been an eventful two weeks. Actually longer then that. I needed new brakes, new rotors, and the alternator went out at the same time! Over $800.00...and then I get the flu and miss a whole week of work. Mind you the first four days were because of the flu. Knocked me down hard. Don't even remember most of it because of the fever I was running.
But after the fever broke I went to work, even although I felt horrible and I sounded quite inhuman. And then the car just stopped running on the fourth delivery! The manager's husband came and gave me a tow home. Very patience he was, no comment about at first I had the car in the wrong gear and the parking brake on...
And I was done for. After the stress and standing in the very cold wind, I just went back to bed for two days. Then I stirred myself. Jackie insisted that I go to a co-workers relative who was a mechanic working out of his home. I was scared, because of what happened before when I did that, used clutch put back in, fried car, and then the place that fixed that left a metal bracket dangling and that took out my fan. I was not happy.
But it turned out wonderful this time. the reason my car just stopped (safe mode), was because the timing belt had broke. I was so lucky! The valves and pistons weren't bent! Frank the mechanic replaced the timing belt, the water pump and the spark plug wires for $271. The car runs beautifully.
Now I am trying to figure out whether I can go to him for oil changes and when the last time the trannie fluid was changed. And that serpentine belt.

With this year's tax refund money I have gotten new glasses. I needed them. My current glasses are spattered with tears because I am straining to see in focus. I knew it would cost a bit of money because I want progressives and I need a higher index because of how near sighted I am.
I went to Wallyworld rather then Lenscrafters, because I am still paying them off for the glasses I am wearing. Not going to work financially. I ended up paying $409 plus the eye exam, but I'm pretty sure it would have been over $600 at Lenscrafters.I also shelled out for Transition lenses.
At first I wanted Daisy Fuentes Jasmine glasses, black fronts with tiny red violet rhinestones in the corners and purplish stems.But I was determined to make sure I looked good and not be overwhelmed by what I lusted after. So the second time I went and looked at the eyeglasses choices I looked at some Sally Hansen frames. I decided that they fit me better, were more proportional to my face, and that I looked better in them. So I picked the Sally Hansen 16 frames in Simply Amersyt . They don't really look purplish to me, but they do look good.
It will take a week for them to be done and mailed back to Walmart. I can hardly wait.
