meetings, reading, watching videos or YouTube. On a good night, babysitting grandkids.
I'm glad! I have 4-5 choices: housework, TV (boring), watching news(depressing), shopping online, CF.

Reading, watching YouTube -- The Wandering Woodsman, a guy who explores his home state of PA; Green Mountain Metal Detecting, a guy who does so in Vermont; some astronomy stuff my husband likes -- housework sometimes, Bible study, checking out bread recipes, sometimes do some baking, if the day has been nice might sit outside for a spell.

Every night we watch some old show, like Dr Who or Big Bang Theory. Work our way through them over many months. Depending on the night I also practice guitar and wife swims
I like guitar music. My daughter who is a grandma is taking lessons.

I wish my husband had liked Bible study.

Watching an old Alfred Hitchcock Presents. No violence or bad language. This episode has the first Darren from Bewitched. Waiting on bad sleet and freezing rain to arrive. That's my winter Sunday evening.

I've been known to watch those old shows (Alfred Hitchcock and others).

I can't find anything worth watching on regular TV anymore. We stream mostly, watch free channels including Roku's channel. It offers a lot of old shows, stuff you don't have to stress out on while watching. We've been watching ancient episodes of Password most nights, Barney Miller, Benson, Thriller, One Step Beyond, Johnny Carson. Mostly shows that make us laugh or have a mystery. There are also a few Christian channels I have saved, such as Rick Renner and Lion and Lamb Ministries.

Yesterday morning we woke up to a leaking water heater and the entire morning was taken up with having it replaced. So I was glad to sit and have a few laughs last night. ;) Still have to clean up the mess.

I recently discovered Roku, Tubi and Pluto. Between the three there's quite a lot of old shows and Christian content to choose from.

Pluto is great! It has everything for any mood. We get MeTV with rabbit ears and have been watching Perry Mason 'religiously' :)

That put me on a search for Ironside, but no luck. I'm currently watching The Rockford Files on Roku. They have the whole series, which I didn't expect to find for free anywhere.

My late husband would watch a movie with me. I miss that.

Oh, my gosh! I'm so sorry. I hate messes and have no shoulder to cry on.

I have cable which we got back in the nineties and I'm a creature of habit so haven't changed it.. I did watch a series on Tubi one time (my friend in another state suggested the series).
