Good job.Emilly Orrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245643246821826101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-46812724689527642432012-06-21T19:51:11.978-07:002012-06-21T19:51:11.978-07:00See, normally, our household would be right with y...See, normally, our household would be right with you, but two things happened (nearly at the same time):<br /><br />1. One of my loves lost her job (and, to date, has not found another one yet, even WITH formidable job skills); and<br /><br />2. Our DVD player died.<br /><br />Due to economics and the inability to play DVDs sent to our home, both, we downgraded our normal DVDs-plus-streaming option we've had for nearly ten years now, to a streaming-only option. Their DVD selection is still pretty sound (though even there, they're adding far fewer new films every week than in the past), all things considered.<br /><br />That hasn't been the bad part, though. We frequently watch streaming media with friends in other states. But, because of our downgrade, our former "we can watch three films at once" understanding took a hit--because apparently, only <b>TWO</b> machines are authorized for streaming. So the girls in the front room have to watch off the Wii, while I (and the friends in other states) coordinate the best we can online. It's imperfect and clunky, and absolutely baffling.Emilly Orrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245643246821826101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-73249636782566603342012-06-21T19:32:21.417-07:002012-06-21T19:32:21.417-07:00You're making me glad I stuck with the DVDs wh...You're making me glad I stuck with the DVDs when they split.Rhianon Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627163137265856251noreply@blogger.com
