I wonder what the purpose is of not teaching it.

But when I called, they matched what I was going to be paying and cut my bill way down. My husband isn't a fan of streaming stuff and hates learning how to use it - so I was glad they worked with me so I could keep cable, although it's less channels than before.<br />We don't watch any basketball. Is that weird?

It's ridiculous the amount you pay for it when you don't watch half the stuff. Also your grandson is absolutely precious!

But when I got older, I also wrote in sort of a modified version of it. And today when I had handwrite anything ... it's amazing how quickly I get tired. :D A part of me wants to cut the cord too because my cable is expensive - it's a bundled deal. But if I'd just get off my lazy butt and sign-up for a new bundled deal, it would be okay and cheaper than just getting Internet. Also, I know a lot of cord cutters also swear by antennas to get live TV and they aren't those weird big things from our childhood either. I'm guessing since you live in a pretty open space that you would get good reception and be able to get the major broadcast networks.

It's been a couple years since we got rid of cable and use our antenna to get a few channels but we also watch Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube over the tv with our Roku. There has been once or twice I wish we would have cable yet but not often enough or for a "good" enough reason to pay so much for it!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11384089636988097074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-36225168806090872922018-03-19T09:44:13.934-04:002018-03-19T09:44:13.934-04:00I hope you love DirectTV Now as much as we do!!

We've had Netflix and Amazon Prime for the past several years and a digital antenna to get the local channels - other than waiting 6 months to get to watch Walking Dead, I've been OK with not paying $100+/month to watch TV. I have a Chromecast but haven't added any channels so we basically just watch Netflix on there. The cursive thing bugs me - I purposely write notes to my kids in cursive but it's not enough. It's sad that things like that have to be cut from schools.Elizabeth - No Lazy Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11850346132248360959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-20296456562287453742018-03-19T09:02:34.498-04:002018-03-19T09:02:34.498-04:00Those canvases!!

My teens learned it in 3rd grade, but I don't think the teachers ever enforce that they have to use it. At least, they can read it. We cut the cable cord a few years ago. Once you get used to it, it is wonderful! We also use a digital antenna and get a great signal from our local channels. The picture from the antenna can be even better than it was with cable because it is HD. We had sling and hulu for awhile, but now we just use Netflix and Amazon Prime Video along with the antenna for live tv.
