We will be going to a special Valentine’s Day dinner this evening here at the retirement center. 

Early tomorrow morning I will be going in for Cataract surgery. Given the 2 separate surgeries I will not be posting a lot here. I'm not sure how well I will be able to see to type much on my cell phone. The recovery time will be until the end of March for the second surgery.

As a former blind as a bat 20/2000 close up no problem, to 20/30- couldn’t get 20/20. Now, it’s darn near any distance I’m fine or need cheap readers.

 

You’ll enjoy the new lenses, just don’t run out without those welding goggles.Dang it’s bright outside.

 

Stretch And others had them.

Be nice to the giver of drops until the little bottles are emptied, and the eye covers are through covering your eyes.

 

Caught glimpses of  my eyelashes for months, whiskey tango…Stopped reaching for my glasses, after a month.

@Winter2024   Yes I used to watch Brokenwood Mysteries on Acorn.   I will probably start watching it  again.  I think I have seen about 8 seasons.

@catwoman500 and @LaDolceVita , have you watched HOPE STREET?  🤔

 

Lol, my PBS app "decides" what I watch, so HOPING it let's me watch the STATION that has it TODAY in about 1/2 hour.

 

I have figured out UNINSTALLING app and RESTARTING my Android "cancels" the stations I DO NOT want to watch.

 

But what a "pain"  🙄

Trusted Social Butterfly

@Winter2024   Have not heard of Hope Street.   Share a little bit about it?

@catwoman500   I agree no fun to watch TV on computer.  

 

@everyone, sauna update!!  Still do not have a thermometer, but we both fit into the 1 person sauna.  Started at 5 minutes, up to 15 minutes now but do not know the temperature.  No noticeable effects yet.  Did sleep pretty well the first night, not so good the next night.  Thermometer to arrive Monday!!

@catwoman500 , just got my "answer" - NEXT Sunday will be the SEASON FINALE for "All Creatures"  😭😭😭

 

So GLAD Audrey is staying  💃💃💃

Trusted Social Butterfly

@Winter2024 ...Yeah, had a feeling that Audrey would end up staying. I never really felt that Gerald was right for her although I did like his dog.

  1. No promises but, download an app called Pluto to tv, phone or computer and you might find All Creatures, Doctor Who , etc for free to stream- All you need is computer or smart something.
  2. Froze Off to Doc’s

Hey, Porch Peeps!

@Winter2024 ...No Super Bowl for me. Since the Eagles blew their chance, I'm not invested in the game this year. Besides, it's PBS night for me. My Masterpiece shows are on back-to-back tonight... Miss Scarlet and the Duke, All Creatures Great and Small, and Funny Woman. Two of them are airing the season finales tonight, so it's a "must see" for me.

 

Was able to get my PT extended. I feel like it's doing me some good, and I enjoy going there. I have a really nice physical therapist.

 

Hope you all enjoy the game if you are watching.

Trusted Social Butterfly

@catwoman500  & @Winter2024  I was wondering if Funny Woman was going to be a good one.  I am hooked on Seaside Hotel on PBS streaming, it is a Danish soap opera type, has 9 seasons and I am only in season 6.  

Trusted Social Butterfly

@LaDolceVita ...Funny Woman takes place in the 60's, so the music was right up my alley. I was sitting there last night rocking and belting out the lyrics. LOL

I think I saw a few episodes of Seaside Hotel, but never was able to find it again. I should look it up on PBS since I think I have Passport. Only problem is that I'd have to sit here at the computer to watch.

HI @catwoman500 !  I hope you’re feeling, & doing, WELL! AFA PBS: It’s the BEST!! That said...

Before I had cable....on the TVs that you had to get up every time to switch the few channels there were, or to adjust the volume etc. PBS was the main alterative to the BIG THREE ALL CAPS LETTERS CHANNELS...[before CNN LOL!!] : CBS, NBC, & ABC! When signals went digitized (or whatever happened like 20 years ago) I had to get cable (& forced to buy another TV that was cable-ready) I always used on demand to watch PBS so I could choose what to watch & when & pause & return later etc.) Then I bought a wide screen 52 inch **(which was huge at the time) that had the HDMI ports. It still works, but ...Now I need to have another TV that can play HD & all that SMART TV crap stuff....HAAA ...But just can’t afford it...& also had to ditch ever increasing cable! So now I’m using my 2016 laptop to stream shows on demand, like TUBI! But the laptop is dying ...as less keys work & its slowing down a lot...LIKE ME...LOL!

However our PBS ain’t free anymore: “PBS offers a variety of shows and documentaries to stream online, but none of them are free. You can watch full episodes of PBS NewsHour, NOVA, Antiques Roadshow, and other popular series with a Passport membership” Yet one more thing I just can’t afford ATM! SUXBEINGPOORTHATSFORSURE

Anyway, as always... Take care!

HI @catwoman500 !  The way these forum posts are set up, if someone doesn’t reply...or at least kudo (I hate that we have to use that word here...I’d almost like a simple ‘thumbs up’ 👍 ...LOL!) then we don’t have any other way to know if someone has read a post we make to them!

That said....I don’t know if you saw 👀 this particular post to you earlier...

 

& since you haven’t posted a new topic... or a thread that wasn’t directed to another specific member...where I could reply to...then this is my feeble (Hahaa) attempt to reach out to you & say:

 

>>>>>>> I hope you’re feeling, & doing, WELL!

 

Also... I wanted to say....

Thanks for all the kudos 👍 lately! 👍

Anyway... Take care! 🍀 ☮️  ~Allen  🌈 🍀

I would be happy if more people would reply to the posts here. The size of the silent majority here is staggering.

I've been a member here since January 2009 and have not had any issues. Mostly I hope everyone is enjoying the  Front Porch. 

A couple of the topics here have had over 500,000+ views sense they were first posted.

It would be nice to see more posters on all topics.

@Therapist4u  and @ everyone here, big sauna news!!  Both hubby and I have lower blood pressure, about 10 points lower, measured at home and at the doctor's office after 2 weeks of daily use.  Neither one of us is on BP medication and hopefully the sauna will delay having to take meds.  No other news right now.

@Therapist4u   Sorry you are having issues with body parts!  I hope you do not need surgery and can make do with phyical therapy instead!  Thats what I tell hubby, he is having knee issues, he iscertain he needs knee replacment down the road.

@Therapist4u   Pretty scary all right 😩.   I have some arthritis  but luckily it is not manifesting in areas that cause pain during movement.

Hey Froze @Frozenoem

It’s good to see you’re here!

Using the PM I found thru trial & error....is that both sides must be listed as ‘friends’ & I think I had nudged the ‘add friend’ off on my end...so it’s fixed now!

“Your private message has been sent.”

 BTW: I’ll reply to this post later...or might have to wait until tomorrow....

&/or thru the PM!!

Anyway,

Take care!  ☮️  🌄 ~Allen 🌈  🎨

@LaDolceVita I didnot like "Funny Woman" - the couple of minutes I had watched.

 

IF "Seaside Hotel" is the one where the language is FOREIGN and the captions are ENGLISH - tried it. Gave up. Wish they would do one where they are SPEAKING ENGLISH.

Trusted Social Butterfly

@Winter2024   Seaside Hotel is in Danish, I enjoy trying to pick out German sounding words and I do not mind the CC. I know a few words in German and would like to pick it up again if I get a chance.
