There's a bit of a funny back story to our finally pulling the plug on our cable. It was something that my wife and I had fully discussed for several months before I actually decided to do it. You see, my wife is the TV watcher....

NJ Chicaa @porwest oh I'm a total parasite. I'm on my ex's internet still, *was* on his Netflix, on my sister's YouTube TV and Apple Music. I was on a coworker's MAX too but it looks like she suspended the account.

NJ Chicaa I've had it for like 4 years now and have been very happy with it. The only thing I would like added is Cooking Channel but that is like splitting hairs at this point. I'm cut off from my ex's Netflix at the moment. They finally caught on that I live...

So, as you know, I made the decision on Tuesday to cancel cable to save $175 a month, which was the portion of our cable bill that covered the TV portion. Our service ended Thursday evening. After several conversations, as well...

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 35 degrees F and cloudy here at the Jersey Shore. It is supposed to snow this afternoon. Ugh. I woke up at 6:30am and thought I was late for work. That always gets my...

I must confess that I haven't paid any attention to the whole proposed TikTok ban because it simply isn't an app that I use. Congress passed legislation banning it in the US due to concerns about Chinese spying and influence. The...

I'm a die-hard fan of the books and TV adaptation of Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. Yesterday I got back here after work at 2 but had to wait to watch the season 7 finale. That was rough. I've watched it several times...

The fact of the matter is that I blog, and I write articles, and if you have followed me long enough around here on myLot, of course you'd be quite aware that 95% of any my "commentary" has to do with money and politics. It's the...

NJ Chicaa I don't have the energy or interest to try to be an influencer or do videos to drive traffic to what I post. I made decent bank back when Epinions was still a thing. Since then. . . posting is just a hobby.

NJ Chicaa @porwest I'm good. Seems like a lot of sodium for you but I'd try it. There's a guy on Instagram (chefreactions) and he watches and reviews people making stuff. Hilarious.

Today was forecast to be a gloomy, dreary and rainy day as the Polar Vortex starts making its way down into the Deep South, so I didn't really make any plans to do anything today. But I did wake up feeling energetic and motivated,...

NJ Chicaa @FourWalls unfortunately nothing could be done to improve his health and medical status. Linda has been valiant but there wasn't anything more to be done.

NJ Chicaa I'm not denying that at all. The MAGA cult is expanding. The point is that they won't show up in sub-freezing temperatures and we know how Trump feels about the optics.

NJ Chicaa @snowy22315 I could kill whoever let that detail slip on here first. That is my middle name which I have always been called by. No one in my life has ever addressed me by my legal first name aside from telemarketers and strangers.

Joe Biden's farewell address was a mumbling disaster in the worst way, and frankly, a very undignified way to leave office. What he did was essentially deny why they lost, touting a highly successful presidency that only exists in...

NJ Chicaa @porwest Well it was foreboding because he was highlighting issues that the US is going to face--oligarchy, AI, improper use of the military, etc. As you can imagine I didn't disagree with anything he said. I didn't get a negative vibe from it.

NJ Chicaa My legal first name has various spellings. It is exhausting trying to tell everyone how to spell it.
