Stop the world

I have a tendency to put first things that pop into my mind type of "quips" on facebook entries as just smartass observations.. Unless someone else beat me to it then I will "like" what they wrote.. Yesterday I did one of those like that and it was just a quick bit of stupid because that is what I'm good at, and I have to say the site I put it on I  had developed a second thought mentality because I know how she thinks of me (the retched refuse of the family I am first in line followed quite closely by ..  well everyone else) and has thought that way for quite a while now.. But I thought sure why not and twenty minutes later it was done.. Did I say twenty minutes? I meant twenty seconds give or take.. And then the reply came and she didn't have to say anything but I think she likes to keep me in my place so I will do her one better, I won't comment  on her Facebook until after she gets her panties out of the twist they seem to be in all the time..

Through all this turmoil of the past few months it is hard to believe that the dream of winning the lottery would include them but it would.. I wouldn't be selfish if I won the mega money powerball or whatever it is called now..  There would be no reason to be selfish.. I guess I am more democrat than republican, I would rather help everyone out..   Fix the house up, not a lot.. Just get things done that the lack of money prevents from being done now.. I think a lot of people would do the same..  I'd love to travel too.. And not around the world so much as around this country, I'd love to set foot in every state just to say I did..

Hey how about that show Body of Proof last night??   That was the show.. THE show.. So seriously cool, I love it when I don't guess the ending..


The Roku, what can I say.. After pushing enter for yesterday's entry I checked the beta channel listing for what might be new.. That Hero channel has evolved again, I'm not sure what they are trying for on that one, but it is interesting to look at.. Yesterday I wrote about it being maybe  a Youtube idea for a short time. Then back to a videos on the services here in America.. Then last night it had evolved into yet another concept..  This time it is called "on assignment" which then gave some twenty or something locations around the world when clicked into it started a video in that countries language or in English with subtitles in that country.. Sort of interesting but nothing that would make me want to keep that channel.. I looked in the beta (private) channel list and HERO or H*E*R*O* as it shows on the startup screen isn't listed in their list.. Not even the beta version of 8ctave.. I looked at the 8ctave channel to decide if i'm going to keep it and there just keeps being enough to keep me interested..  Yesterday I found a new channel TWC and thought it might be the weather channel.. It isn't, it is Time Warner Cable, which made me think they might be about to bring true cable tv fair to the Roku streamer.. It's not that but dare to dream this could be the first step to having cable channels like network type.. I read the reviews of people who saw this channel was now on Roku and most of them are the cord cutter variety (cable tv, satellite), wanting a cheaper idea instead of being charged so much to have three hundred channels that you have to have to  get that one channel that is in that tier.. I know that was why we had digital cable.. I hated the idea of not having those fringe channels such as the Discovery lot.. Since getting rid of that part of the cable tv I don't miss it..  One thing I did see was that they suggest having only up to 25 channels on the Roku.. Ooops, I had a wee bit to many.. I'm trying to get under that amount but it is taking a while to do.. If the channels aren't on the player I will more than likely forget about them being available, or so my thinking goes.. When I had troubles a few weeks ago I thought this would give me the opportunity to reload fewer channels but instead it reloaded what was on my account at the Roku homepage..  That's nice to have that way..
