  - Ugh. Dupe -- nm* - oblique Feb 22, 08:56

  - I don't have it either. Also, not sure they have the ability on their TV and all. -- nm - MDH Feb 22, 08:46 2
    - gotcha. So just order D+ for yourself, buy them a new smart TV and give them the login creds and then you're all set! -- nm - decline Feb 22, 08:57

- I am down 15 pounds from New Years. - groiny Feb 22, 08:39 1
  - WoW!!! that is incredible with limited activity - Pippy Feb 22, 08:40
