How do I instantly play a Netflix movie on my TV?
Q
Comments (18)
OK, OK, got a challenge......I have been through 3(not one or two) ROKU boxes....have watched Netflix instantly on my old TV with the 3 plug ins....for months THEN ka-dooie! no connection, connection not found, re-set the box, re-set the modem, turning everthing on & off. I am tired and frustrated with System support(everyone speaks Farsi/English) from ROKU and I went to BEST BUYS and bought LG box....connected it with HDMI adapter I had to purchase seperately....and voila! got the program to show up on my TV screen; BUT am unable to get it to play....got my NETGEAR wireless out to try and facilitate this issue, it recognizes the NETGEAR wireless, BUT will not play. THIS CANNOT GO ON...I HAVE PHONE NETFLIX, ROKU, GO ON LINE FOR NETGEAR SUPPORT....I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO BESIDES BUT ANOTHER TV. HEEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!!!

LOL granlan_tx I hear ya! Like the old addage, my memory is good, but short. Don't let it wander, little things shouldn't be allowed to wander too far by themselves, etc. No I didn't know that. It was funny to see these people so much younger than I remember them from other films. Now if I could remember where I put Arsenic & Old Lace. I have the tape here and it's another favorite. Want to sit back and movie out one of these days.

How Do You Cry?
Q
Comments (32)
Springermom, I am stunned that your uncle was so mean. You might try writing a letter to this Uncle. Not to ever send and since he has passed perhaps simply put it aside for a little while to burn later. Writing down how he hurt you, may help you deal with this pain. Crying makes us vulnerable and you were in the most vulnerable spot imaginable. Your uncle was a weak and insecure man. His anger at your show of emotion was wrong. I was not there to say if he did this with malice. It may be that he was unable to deal with his own grief and attacking you was his way of coping. There are many ways he could have handled his own angst at this funeral. He could have walked away or remained silent. What he did by yelling at you was that he stole your ability to heal yourself, express yourself and let the pain out. Crying plays an essential role in our biology as well as our social and cultural experiences. We can't always stop the tears from flowing, but crying gives our bodies and those around us a moment to pause. It is a time to either be alone, be hugged or let those emotions out. A famous British psychiatrist Henry Maudsley said "The sorrow which has no vent in tears may make other organs weep." For those of us who have trouble letting the tears out we must remind ourselves that it is okay to be vulnerable and allow ourselves to have moments of emotional expression. Thinking of you and wishing that if the tears decide to flow you will know that you are allowed to cry. ~boxerpups

do you ever just want to cry?

kam, here's one thing that I found helpful to think about when we got hit with the unexpected discoveries in the walls: this poor house has needed us to come take care of it. We're contributing to good energy in the world by making it a safe, habitable place for us and for those who come after us. Some houses are treated like throwaways but not ours. We've had to make virtually every single system significantly better in this house, not just update the cosmetics. I honestly feel good knowing that even though we haven't been able to pay someone to take down the *much hated* popcorn in the two-story front room, we don't have toilet drainlines that slant back towards the house anymore. The pretty much completely rewired electrics make sense and aren't about to set the house on fire anymore either. You may also discover that there are less expensive ways to do your most urgent cosmetic updates than you'd thought originally, necessity being the mother of invention and all that...you can bargain shop and jump on c's list items, not just in furniture--check the 'materials' section as well. That section was my best friend during the most heated parts of our multi-year remodeling project. Just one example from among many: we have several hundred square feet of gorgeous clear, high-quality vintage but like-new white oak flooring (had been under carpet in someone's very nice 50s home) in our garage that are awaiting installation and refinishing when we finally rip up the rest of the carpet, that we got for about $1/sf, including delivery. Just got it from the 'materials' section. Stone and tile suppliers also regularly sell remnants/overruns there too, but they go fast. Once you have your design and finishes chosen, you can lie in wait :) Maybe we can put our heads together and help you do some cosmetic improvement brainstorming so you can have that part of your dream realized at least a little, while you take care of the immediate practical needs...?

The Notebook for sure every single time. I think because it can happen to any of us, such a real life kind of story. I prepare myself with plenty of tissues when we watch it.

So many! But the first one that came to mind was "Camelot," the musical with Vanessa Redgrave as Guinevere. I was living in Manhattan at the time, and saw it with my in-laws. It really got to me.

Wow, so many listed above! And Caged, with Eleanor Parker. She goes to prison a shy, innocent kid, comes out a hardened criminal. Agnes Moorhead played the warden. I'll never forget the secretary asking what she should do with her file. Agnes Moorhead says leave it out...she'll be back.

The Yearling, The Biscuit Eater, The Red Pony.

Space Cowboys: This one surprised the heck out of me. I expected to "endure" the movie for the sake of my husband, who was the one who wanted to see it. I could barely see to leave the cineplex because I was crying so.
