I remember when we were younger in Texas. We watched a big ole turtle walkin down the road towards Zeboes park. We walked along side it till it got to the main road then my twin sister and I each grabbed a side of the turtle's shell and picked it up. It just relaxed and enjoyed the ride. We heard a hissing when we first went to pick it up but after that it didn't make any noises at all. It was relaxed and non agressive at all. I suppose that is when I first fell in love with turtles. I have encountered a few agressive turtles but not many. I am very cautious of COOTERS tho. I am curious if that is a nickname for a certain type of turtle that is indigenous to South Carolina or if it is a real type of turtle? I guess I will just google it. I am not at all fond of water birds. Our experiences with water fowl has been more problematic than anything else. I have had ducks and geese chase and attack our daughters when they were toddlers. They would chase my daughters and take their bottles and any food they may have had in their hands or mouths. They have attacked my chihuahuas and my cats. I have seen small birds dive bomb my cats. Tho I must admit, it is quite comical to watch. Those little birds do damage to my four legged friends. I can't stand the bird droppings all over everything. Turtles are good. I could not imagine eating anything soooooooooo cute.

"Regarding Elmer’s point about having enough data access, from what I understand, most current plans offer sufficient data to cover streaming, but if you have an older plan you may need to upgrade. I have Comcast‘s internet service and they have adjusted the data to support streaming over the years so it’s not been a problem for me, but depending on the plan you have a Satillite company would probably require you to upgrade your service." Satellite internet providers do not have the capacity nor the bandwidth to support the level of customer throughput that cable and telcom providers have in excess. Just as a for instance, we don't watch a lot of TV/movies but what we do use usually falls in the 250-350 GB range. My Comcast service allows for something like 1 terabye (1000 GB) before they charge for the extra usage. I doubt that most satellite providers would include more than 50 GB per month.

I have a $20 1x1 brand, which looks like the Leaf and RCA - just a notebook sized piece of flexible vinyl. It does have to sit in the window to get all of the local stations (because of the room site and where I want the TV in the room. Absolutely easy to connect and then have the TV scan for channels. MarilynC, you might like to have a Roku. No continuing fees beyond the initial purchase (anywhere from $25 and up, depending on the model - I have the cheapest and it meets all my needs.) Roku offers lots of free streaming channels, including news channels that would include Houston. Of course, they also offer other channels for a subscription price, which mostly run $5-6/month. Right now I am paying for Curiosity Stream and Acorn; for July & August I paid for Peacock Premium so that I could watch the Tour de France, The Tour of Spain, and some of the Olympics.

Complete and utter junk. As are all of the ”budget” ranges. The lowest that you want to go forcreliabilityband ability would be Kitchenaid, Monogram, or Bluestar. Plus the same budget as the range for the venting system and required make up air system. You cannot srparate the teo in the budget. If your busget nax id 4K, thats a 30” GE Profile range, and a lower CFM hood that won’t trigger the requirements for MUA. But it will be overwhelmed at the more challenging cooking sessons.
