Since I ride pennyfarthing bicycles I field a lot of . Do you watch "Pickers"? questions. I can and have go/gone for years without turning on my TV. MY GF has Roku stick and we watch a lot of Brit shows.[ATTACH=CONFIG]599800[/ATTACH]


I'd love to find a real Pennyfarthing in a barn at a really good price. I found a VSM in one and it was packed full of mud dauber nests. from the bottom of the post all through to the needle bar.

That's why we get Netflix, Amazon Prime and MLB. I dislike regular programming. I would get rid of cable altogether but my husband likes the news Yuck! :)

I would love to get rid of Dish Network, but nothing has Fox News, other than the recorded news shows. I have a Roku box I switch between sewing rooms, I love it.

Can't believe there is such a demand for rusted auto, bike, misc. things......

....and then there's this one...Naked and Afraid...!!!

Never have slowed down at this program, and Naked and Afraid seems like voyerism of people badly in need of a bath.
We bought the entire series of the programs we love, and watch them over and over. Foyle's War, Keeping Up Appearances, Midsummer Murders, Inspector Lewis, Miss Marple, Poirot, etc. No Netflix here, wouldn't even know how to start with it. Although we both often order through Amazon, we decided that Prime was not what we needed or wanted enough to be worth the price.
All this time I thought American Pickers was about stringed music.

Check around, I’m told a small antenna is what you need to get the news.

Saw a semi rusty Singer 66 at an outdoor flea market. Price tag had run in the rain. Looked like $70.00 I thought they had been watching pickers too much. I asked. $5.00.That's more like it. Worth that for the spoked balance wheel if I can't get it to work.. but it will likely stitch again.
