Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

This new movement for every channel/network of channels, to have subscription plans. As a whole, I don't mind it, but there is no way to centralize it. I don't need every channel, but I also don't want to manage tons of different TV bills every month.

I can't agree more , its so frustrating.

As consumers we kind of asked for it, complaining about big package cable channels where we only watched a .25 of what we were paying for.

There is also a explosion of content out there being made; its overwhelming.

Four sets in the house . We have gotten rid of everything but HBO Max (it comes free with the new phones). Got rid of two boxes and are using air antennas on the two guest room TV's .Two of the TV's are smart and we down loaded an app so we got rid of all the boxes and are saving around $28 dollars a month.

It's annoying AF when I'm already paying for a cable package, and some channels want you to pay extra for their streaming app.

This is what worries me about the new deal with Amazon and the NFL.

The Thursday night games will most likely be included with a Prime membership... but a Sunday Ticket like package is definitely going to be extra.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

When you have weird, random vivid dreams that wake you up, and you can't fall back asleep. Wasn't trying to wake up at 5:45 a.m. on a Saturday.

Yeah that's definitely a thing. It can be a brutal cycle since a lot of people drink due to anxiety, only to be left more anxiety ridden after drinking.

How to deal with "Hangxiety"

Interesting

I hate hangovers like i have a phobia of them. So lots of times just the thought of getting one curves my alcohol intake during my drinking outing.

My favorite drinking saying:

Drinking is just borrowing happiness from tomorrow.

Try Flyby supplement on Amazon. Take before drinking and just before bed. Total natural supplement and I think realllllly helps.

Anxiety is weird. About 15 years ago i had a severe panic attack - actually funny enough- I was watching the Skins play the Cardinals or Rams - I forget. It was 08 I think - when they had to win 5 down the stretch to get in. I was at my normal bar - had one beer - afternoon game - and all of the sudden - BOOM- thought i was going down. Gathered myself and drove back and forth towards the hospital- because every time I got close I was like what am i doing here? But it got bad - so bad I couldn’t drive. After tests, doctors visits, etc I was told it was anxiety- panic attacks- but I was not anxious or panicked about anything. Doctor told me it dont matter. Its just your body and your mind reacting to life in general and it isn’t up to you whether it happens or not. Lasted about 3 years - was awful. Debilitating actually. Couldn’t sit at my desk at work, couldn’t do alot of things. Was afraid to travel for fear of having one somewhere not near my comfort zone - my home. But than like the wind it just went away. Been about 12 years.
Oh in the ER, my only concern was who won the game, not what the hell is wrong with me. Ha. But i found out they won. Woot woot. Felt a little better. Ill never forget the brief reprieve I felt from the news we were going to the playoffs.
