Our home electronics situation is. One HDTV and blueray player in our bedroom. Hubby bought this last spring. Its all WiFi. But for regular channels we have a digital antennae. A Windows 7 desktop and a Windows 8 Laptop. Very often someone is on the desktop and the laptop when someone (usually grandson) wants to watch something on TV in the family room. There is a router connected to the desktop which allows the laptop to connect to the internet. My daughter's computer is running off the router too. Currently the family room has a dead projection TV (I need somebody to haul it to the dump) and an old 30 inch TV with a digital converter and antennae. Now... my oldest son is giving us the flatscreen but its not WiFi so we will be unable to get Netflix in the family room. This is the TV I need to convert to WiFi without spending very much money at all. Roku is $100. Chromcast is $35. Prices according to what I googled this morning. I just don't know enough about all of it. And I don't want to end up spending more and more and more and more to make it work. If I had an extra $100 I'd exchange the TV for one with WiFi. But that's not an option.

aw... so a dongle is an antennae? I don't have a lot of money. So buying a computer to make the TV work with the router is out of the question. The Roku is out of range right now. We do not have cable or satellite TV. Just an antennae so having the TV connect to the router wireless-ly has been a blessing. We can watch movies on Netflix. Or I can listen to Pandora while sewing in the bedroom. Another issue is we need a newer digital antennae. We're having trouble with the ones we have. This stuff costs too much!

Because that's not the offence I've forgotten yet.

what is a dongle? it sounds complicated. I was hoping there was something to just plug in and it would work... like an antennae. We don't have any android devices

yes. I would like to add wifi to the TV my son just bought.

You can forgive and still remember, but with time the atonement helps you forget. I was surprised when I realized I had forgotten something. I remembered there was a problem at one time but I didn't remember the details until my husband reminded me. LOL Then I had to forget again.

My sweet son bought a TV on Black Friday for my husband for Christmas. He sent it home with me because they are trying to sell their condo and don't have room for it. I was looking at the box and it doesn't have WiFi. I've googled and come up with Roku or Chromcast. Does anyone have any suggestions? What is the differences? Is there something better? Less expensive?

Congratulations

BTW, my grandson saw your pic on Facebook this morning and got all excited. "Its Gingy"

I've run across some fun ideas but unless I can pose the Elf I can't make them work. The hands have to be velcro!!! I'm not sure why the people who make the Elf don't make them bendable and with velcro already.

Forgetting is part of forgiveness. It takes a long time and it also takes no repeat offences. When hurtful behavior keeps happening its hard to forgive. Boundaries help. Forgive means to stop feeling angry or resentful. When you realize you're no longer angry or resentful about something then you've forgiven the person who did the harm. That doesn't mean you put yourself in a position to be hurt again if you think the person hasn't changed. I have forgiven my ex-sister-in-law but I will never knowingly put myself where she might be. I most definitely will never allow a child to be around her, if I have any say. But, I don't resent her and I'm no longer angry. I don't wish bad things for her. I do still get sad when I think of all the harm she's done.

Bendable Elf on the Shelf tutorial I asked my hubby for help in making Cleatus bendable. :) Maybe it will get done by next Christmas.

What a great plan. I think I'll choose Grateful. I printed it out in script as big as it would fit on a piece of paper and I'll hang in somewhere obvious today. :)

I agree with Quin. You need to get him back in when the episodes happen. Are you going to his doctor's appts with him? If not, start, if he will allow it. If not call his doctor when these episodes happen. It might be that January is too long to wait.

Congratulations and welcome

I bought both movies for my Grandson. We saw Tangled in the theater. I love How to Train Your Dragon. Even though it was a little scary for our grandson when we first got it, he loved it. He watched it over and over. He loves Hiccup and Toothless. He loves Repunzel too... and Eugene. :)

Preparing a lesson or preparing a talk are great way to Study. I love missionaries.

Welcome. I hope you're able to find the support you need here. My oldest son was an addict.

"Obamacare" is hurting so many people. I hope more States will at least try to protect their citizens.

Is Laban your view of Christ-like. I'm thinking of the sermon on the mount. Rarely does the Lord command us to kill or harm. Instead its "the meek shall inherit the earth."

There is is never an excuse to use violence. I hope when war comes to the America I can be Christ-like.

I commend you for recognizing your role. That's a big step sometimes when there are arguments in a marriage. As Estradling said we only have one side and only a partial view of the event. Without the whole picture I'd like to point out that your husband played a part in this too. He chose to get angry and let it escalate in front of the children. Find a calm place to talk about religion with your husband. In your first post the word "submissive" sort of rubbed me wrong. We are only to be submissive to our husband's when they are being submissive to the Lord. You are the only one here in the middle of this marriage. Only you can decide the best way to resolve the issues. This is a great place to vent and sometimes see things from a different perspective. I don't think this is about defending faith. Its about an interpersonal relationship and religion seems to be the spark that sets off the fire....at least right now. I wish you all the best in resolving the issues with your husband.

bamboo knitting needles!!! :)

I've thought about blogging but what I want to blog about is being a grandmother raising a grandchild and co-parenting with a child. What has stopped me is that anything I say so publicly could be used against my son in court if my grandson's mother ever got her act together. But I'm interested in learning how. Maybe I can blog about the experience when he's older.
