Please consider yourselves all very fortunate that you have a house and are able to enjoy all of these things. I lost all of that when I lost my husband. Thankfully, I don't watch more than 30 to 45 minutes of TV so since my live-in caregiver doesn't care for TV either I called Comcast to try to lower my bill but they would only come down $30 if I got the basic channels which consists of about 8 or 9 channels with some of them only in Spanish.
