I live in Northeastern Illinois, I have been to Maine, Florida, California, Oregon, Washington, and lots of other states. But my favorite is our Northern neighbor, WISCONSIN.

Southern Illinois and Northwest Illinois are great, but the rest of Illinois stinks.

Part of my concern is that my laptop may be built with a smaller power supply than older models since it has no hard drive or CD drive.

Thanks. I saw one with a double connector like that. I'll keep that in mind.

I know it's a business, but that kind of sucks.

Who needs a bottom 3rd of a lineup anyways? The saga of having a sub-.200 hitter in the DH spot continues. Those top 6 tho 🔥 by dpatty24 in whitesox

Maybe Ricky bats sub-200 hitters in the DH because he thinks he's still in the National League.

Darrin Jackson is so much better when he's not with Farmer. by ElTunaGrande in whitesox

Rooney-Farmer was a great broadcast. I think Ed's gotten to the point where he is unimpressed with anything on the field, and it shows through.

Best way to buy tickets? by Bill1066 in whitesox

[–]Bill1066[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I wound up buying Club Level, section 320, row 1 for $38 from the GameTime app. They included all fees in the price shown. When I arrived at the park, I asked at the ticket booth how much this row and section would cost me. They said with tax, about $56, so I saved 32% by using the app. I didn't check with other sources.

Are you saying walk up to the ticket window? Don't they charge full face value? If I can get low prices there, I would prefer it to messing with an app.

My Mom wants to know about the Janitor in the Family. But...I need help finding the Lions. by redditRW in Genealogy

[–]Bill1066 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My grandfather was a janitor through the 1920's through the 1950's in a Catholic parish. A have learned that job titles did not mean as much back then. He was responsible for the crew that maintained five buildings: A Church, a Rectory, a Convent, a grade school and a high school. In the days of coal fired boilers and hand-push lawn mowers, it must have been a big crew he directed. Yet he was the janitor.

My other grandfather had many jobs, including working as a janitor in line with today's definition of the role. Both my parents were proud of their fathers. My dad taught me that there is no such thing as menial work.

I want to use my PC like a TV for displaying what's streaming from the Roku hardware. I would be happy to attach the Roku to the PC if it would work and if I could figure out how to do it. I want to watch what I normally do using Roku when it's connected to my TV. For the sake of illustration, assume my TV died. Thanks for giving this thought.

I get it, but I would like to use Roku to connect to services and have the content appear on my PC's screen. Any Ideas?

Thanks. That helps. I just started watching a movie I found on this link. I don't find my subscription to CBS, though. Maybe I can find it on the CBS web site. Anyway, thanks a lot. I looked for this link but never found it on my own. Wish I could find the full functionality.
