Hello Sue! ~  It's so nice to hear from you! I have been concerned about you and was wondering if you were having more issues with that kidney stone. I noticed little activity with your account and was going to contact you today if I didn't hear from you. Sounds like you must be doing better with the kidney stone since you had a lot going on and did a lot this weekend. I'm sorry you are having tummy issues. Mom and I had similar issues after our 4th of July grilling of ribeye steaks. We don't eat a lot of red meat, so I think that was the issue for us.

I do have a lot of event passes (1662) - I'm at 25% Detective and need 213 event passes to turn it to Virtuoso and complete the event. There should be no problem in getting that done. I knew they were going to have another StarCatcher event. Do you think there will be another avatar this time? I was close to getting the little mouse last time and was in a dead heat with another person on this Wiki who I am not in-game friends with. She was working so hard for it and it really didn't matter to me, so I just stopped playing and let her win it. I heard that it might be better to start later in the mini-event since you are grouped with people at that same level when they start. I will need to think about this a little bit and decide what to do.

Speaking of cable providers, have you thought about cutting the cord? Depending on what you pay, it might not be a bad idea. I know you have a daughter and a son (not sure if you have more children than that), they might already have an account set up and you could piggy back onto their account and share. This is what we do with our Family account. My parents have YouTubeTV, which runs about $52 a month - it provides them with local live TV, on demand and a lot of other cable stations, along with the recording of all stations. I have Netflix and Amazon Prime. I also alternate another one for Mom (Britbox/Acorn/Dove). My sister has Philo and her own Prime. So we all share the accounts and have had very few issues on bumping into one another. I've never had cable - I have an antennae and TiVo in order to DVR my local channels so I don't usually use Mom & Dad's YouTubeTV except for backup purposes. You can also go through an app for the channel you want and connect with YouTubeTV or Philo and then that will not count towards your limited streams. It's a lot of information, I know. But it works and can save you lots of money. Cable TV is going the way of the dinosaur like MaBell did back in the days. I can't believe what I used to pay for long-distance phone service - now it's not an issue.

I have a super busy week with 6 appointments Wed-Fri and I take Mom out on Tuesday, so I will be MIA for awhile. We have a very early 8 am appointment with Mom's GP and I want to discuss her options and what to do, which I believe I mentioned in a previous post. I plan on sending out a bunch of pases like I did the last couple of days to make up for me being gone this next week. Hopefully I will have time to play that StarCatcher event if it starts this week - probably late in the evening/early morning to catch up. My visiting/gifting will be sporadic so I can play the min-event.

In regards to shows you might like (after you finish Outlander - you could also subscribe to StarZ for $8.99 and watch the rest),  I like on Netflix - The Crown, Stranger Things, Orange is the New Black, Ozark, Black Mirror, Mindhunter, Wentworth Prison, Altered Carbon, Narcos, House of Cards, Sens8, The 100, Lost, Bates Motel, Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. I want to watch the New Last of the Czars that's out now. On local TV and probably on Netflix - The Blacklist, Blindspot, How to Get Away with Murder, Timeless (on HULU only now - great show!), The Voice, This is Us, A Million Little Things, Hawaii Five-0, Survivor, The Amazing Race, Grimm, Person of Interest, Scorpion and Designated Survivor (now taken over by NetFlix). On PBS - Downton Abbey and Victoria (both also on Prime). On Amazon Prime (if you decide to get it, or share it ;) - a lot of great things here) - Sneaky Pete, Man in the High Castle, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Vikings, Mr. Robot, Outlander, Humans, The Night Manager, The Americans, Orphan Black.  I also like Yellowstone (the series with Kevin Costner) on Paramount and Philo.  And Yellowstone Live on NatGeo (YouTubeTV).  On HBO - Game of Thrones, WestWorld and Big Little Lies.  On Showtime I liked Ray Donovan and Homeland, but haven't watched that for awhile.  The only thing I haven't watched and might be interested in is Handmaid's Tale on Hulu. I might pick that up as a trial and binge the whole thing if you recommend it.  I have a friend on this Wiki who is going to give me more info on some of the sci-fi I might be interested in since I've also watched Startgate, Stagate-1, Stargate Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica (all on Amazon Prime).  I'm not sure if we have some shows that overlap and you also watch, if not, I would recommend any of the shows above and can let you know why if you're interested (and my top picks). So get rid of your cable...there are a ton of great shows to watch out there. YouTubeTV has a ton of sports channels, just in case hubby must have his sports - lol.

Take care and get ready for some passes...see you in Darkwood! Give Maisey a pat and belly rub from me! ~  Llyssa
