    Wheel of Time

    I wanted to like this series. Had such high hopes but it sounds like they butchered the story just because. I mean I used to reread the entire series when a new book was coming out just to refresh myself. You think studios would see the success of game of thrones when they were following the...

    Elderly Parents and Looking Out for Them

    Medicaid has the 5 year claw back. It's basically use all of your assets and be broke in order for Medicaid to pay for everything. Medicare part C might do home health care but that depends on the policy you get. Parts A and B don't pay for home health care.

    Elderly Parents and Looking Out for Them

    I'm not lawyer but since there is no will everything should just go the surviving spouse. No else would be entitled to anything. As far as taking care of her. That's a tough call. My mother in law had been taking care of her parents, about a year before her mother passed and then her father for...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    What are they looking for, as far as usage? An Nvidia shield is probably the best on the market for streaming and live tv. A firestick or chromecast would be good too and cheap. Or they could just buy a TV with something built in

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    I've seen those boxes before that come preloaded with Kodi and a bunch of addons. I'd be leery of them. The other issue that you might run into is that it is android 12.0, not android tv OS, so apps you download from the play store may not look correct on a TV and may not work correctly either.

    Great thing about YouTube tv is the family sharing. My parents and I split the cost of YouTube tv and we both it get it. You can share with up to 5 people, that is supposed to be in the same household. We're in the general location of St Louis so it hasn't been a problem. The lack of sport on...

    The remote does have a volume up and down button. The channel up and down is the large circle at the top with the enter button being in the center The remote connects via Bluetooth so any Bluetooth remote should work if you go that route.

    It has a pretty standard remote. Has voice control and separate volume buttons. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6433902.p?skuId=6433902 Pretty sure this will eliminate any headaches with your mom.

    Get a Nvidia shield. It will do everything you want with little effort. There would be no headaches I switched my parents to it from a cable box and they haven't had any issues at all. They use YouTube tv though. It does have the live tv app that you could use with the hd homerun. You can set...

    Insurance Claim Questions

    My brother in law got a letter from their insurance company telling them they won't cover roofs more than 10 years old. I've seen a few other people online post that. Seems like the insurance companies just want to screw people.

    The school would have to fill out a document called a conners 4 and the mom would also fill out one and the pediatrician would then take that information and then make a determination about meds. I don't think a doctor would put a 4 year old on meds. Too much is developmental.

    My son was super hard to get him to shit on the pot. He peed no problem but wouldn't poop. We tried bribing too. We started making him sit on the toilet in a pull up to poop. We also made a point of counting down how many pulls we had left and only let him have one when he had to poop. It was...

    Watched the 3rd episode and thought it was as good as the first two. It's got a decent story going on.
