Discussed my cable rates with time warner a few days ago and instead of paying 105 a month for cable with hbo, cinemax, and stars with roadrunner I am now paying 85 a month. Hope after my year contract I can get it even lower. -

Nice deal. Mines only about $40.00 a month for dang near every channel, internet, and phone. Only because I have a contact there. -

Knee surgery taking longer to recover than originally thought. Nice to not have to go to work, but it's effecting my damn bank account.Ironman92;1364780 wrote:It doesn't sound very good. -

I didnt want to tell the worst part of the deal though lol. Today my nephew told me since he works for dish network I can get all channels for free and free instalation if I buy the boxes. I can get it as long as he works there. Not sure what the boxes cost but figured for all channels being free it would pay for itself in a few years.Curly J;1364809 wrote:Nice deal.

What kind of surgery you have? I just had a partial replacement back in december. I am still having issues with it. Dr said I was to young to have the total replacement but since this one is still causing me problems he said I will most likely need the full replacement now.GoChiefs;1364815 wrote:Knee surgery taking longer to recover than originally thought.

Torn meniscus. Had to remove about 40% of it. Scraped out a little bit of arthritis as well, that's what's giving me the issues now. The swelling where they scraped that out keeps coming back. I'm probably doing a little more on than I should be though. Gonna just take it pretty easy the next month so I can get back to work.mcburg93;1364825 wrote:What kind of surgery you have?

I get Sick & Disability pay through work, which is about 60-70% of my pay, waiting on Workers Comp to kick in as well, that will make up for it.LJ;1364826 wrote:No aflack? -

Hope it gets better I had mine scoped in highschool to clean up my miniscus. I think that is why I am having all the trouble now with it.GoChiefs;1364828 wrote:Torn meniscus.

Yep you have to buy your boxes. And a little thing people don't think about is having to pay for a Tech to come out if you have any issues. With TWC a Tech coming out for any issue is free. -

Would you get the same deal if you bought the boxes from eBay or something? You can find them rather cheap on there.mcburg93;1364822 wrote:I didnt want to tell the worst part of the deal though lol.

Damn that is way cheaper then through the company. I think he said it was 158 for 1 box without the dvr through dish network. Thanks for the idea.

I'm being 100% serial here. Would losing weight help your knees? Got a plan? -

Actually been doing the weight loss thing. Down 35 pounds. But no, this had nothing to do with my weight. My foot slipped while I was doing a job at work and my knee just twisted in a weird position when it slipped, causing the tear.ernest_t_bass;1364881 wrote:I'm being 100% serial here.

Congrats. Keep it up. I'd do anything to drop 20-30, but I despise cardio. -

Nice. We're paying $50 just for our internet from TWC. DirecTV is another $100 but I plan on canceling that ASAP. If they give me a healthy discount when I call to cancel I may keep it for a little while longer. I'd love to knock our internet bill down a bit as well.Curly J;1364809 wrote:Nice deal.

I did the whole "I'm going to cancel" with DirecTV around August. Got our bill down to $75 a month from $105, free NFL Sunday Ticket, and then the movies channels that they offer new customers for 3 or 6 months, I don't remember which. I also got that locked in for only a one year contract instead of the two.justincredible;1364896 wrote:Nice. We're paying $50 just for our internet from TWC.

I'm still at home so I have limited influence on the subject but I keep trying to argue that we'd be better off cutting the television part of the cable, going for a higher tiered internet plan and then adding Hulu Plus or something for TV and supplementing that with Amazon/iTunes subscriptions of shows not on Hulu/Netflix/Prime. Would probably still save a ton of money.justincredible;1364896 wrote:Nice. We're paying $50 just for our internet from TWC. DirecTV is another $100 but I plan on canceling that ASAP.
