Welcome to the Lounge

:smiley: GREAT NEWS MikeJ !!!
I’ll be down there in about 10 - 20 days if I can get everything done here. Everyone here has been so helpful and encouraging :+1: Miki and others have told me not to worry about getting my setups with tv, routers, etc… because they’ll have me covered and will help once I’m there and ready. Where else could you go to make such good friends who care about you?!?
I’m one of the luckiest people :hugs:

I try to learn something new every day. I have a long way to go to catch up to you Miki!
I just got promoted to regular today. I had no idea promotions were possible. I am happy to be part of this community. Hello to all fellow patrons, founders, and regulars! My main knowledge is in records management. I did it for many years. Hobbies are chess, composing, playing, recording, mixing my own music, astronomy, rocks, fossils and crystals, to mention a few. I have been streaming for over 7 years but tend to keep it pretty simple. Kodi, addons, VPN, and I am good to go. Happy streaming everyone!

Hi emcpheet,
Glad to see someone else who just keeps it simple. Kodi and IPTV service with a VPN. I see no real need for anything else. I get all my movies and tv shows thru Kodi and all my sports, local channels, and live TV thru IPTV service. No need for anything else for me.

Thank you very much my friend :blush:
You are a good teacher with lots of knowledge and patience. Those are qualities that not a lot of people have! Thankfully, I am learning so much from you (as well as many others😃)

Hi, MikeJ I’ll be living in the Village of Glenbrook

Great! By The Villages standards, we are literally across the street from each other.

Hi All, I dont say much but I read everything. I appreciate all the knowledge and great help. I’m also a Navy Veteran, now loving retirement and keeping my Micro business as an Electrical Contractor, Computer Builds/Repairs/Networking & IT stuff going. Keeping my certifications up to date is a task in itself, coupled with the fact that my dear wife is a newly minted Nurse Practitioner, (Adult Gero…bless her) we are drowning in keeping all our Licenses Current. I’m glad we don’t have to be licensed to Stream! Take care all, stay safe and please note, i’m NOT a ā€œLurkerā€ I just don’t want to muddle up all your great threads! :slight_smile:

Honored to be welcomed into this fantastic community. Like @itzme stated, I didn’t know I could get here just by a whole lot of reading but am stoked about being here. Hi to all my neighbors south of me up here in southeastern Ontario, Canada. Sure am envious of all you Floridians it’s a place I’ve never been but always dreamed of. I have no lifetime achievements to be overly proud of other than my awesome wife of 35 years still puts up with me. Also have 1 son and 1 grandson, these 3 things make everyday wonderful for me, oh yeah and a whole lot of time on this website. This place has literally changed my life. Two years ago I had never owned a cell phone, never had internet but I did have a 200 to 400 dollar a month cable bill (loved the ppv fights) also had a pile of DVD’s that never seemed to be enough. :woozy_face: My son used to shake his head and tell me to get with the times Dad, you’re working way too hard for way too little. Well Covid came along and took my work away and gave me alot of time to finally dive into this internet thing. OMG, like most of you knew years ago was I ever missing an awesome thing. So no more cable bills other than internet, haven’t bought a DVD in 2 years, even gave my blu- ray player to my son. None of this would have been a reality without Troypoint.com and all the informative stuff from a highly intelligent and helpful group of people here on Troypoint Insider. Thanks to you all from my wife and I. Be Happy! And stream on.:grin:

hey @PapaS glad you’re here and appreciate your enthusiasm. I’m a transplanted Southwestern Ontarian myself. Use to live anywhere from London to Hamilton and a bunch of little places in between. I now live full time in Mexico and if you ever find yourself considering a vacation down this way, I’d be delighted to meet you and show you around.
Have fun and STREAM ON.

Thanks @Miki for welcoming me into this great place.It’s great talking to you because I’ve read so many of your posts along with many others I almost feel I owe you a personal Thank you for allowing me to soak up all your knowledge like a literal sponge. Boy would I love to take you up on that Mexico offer, but past behavior being a good indicator of future behavior, I haven’t been much for traveling. But hey @miki if you ever make it to Cornwall Ont.Canada would love to show you around maybe a BBQ ,whatever you would like. Could even cast a line if you want. I love fishing. :heart:

Lol. Not many places I haven’t been in Ontario. Use to have a Honda CB750-4 K7 that was fully decked out for touring, and that’s exactly what I did. Then came our Wing years later when the Wife got Cancer.
