With my DVD player. It is bombing on almost every DVD that I play now when it gets near the end! It’s so fucking frustrating. GAH!

Ugh. Not sure if I have one, but if I do you're more than welcome to it.
I'll look later today and let you know.

I's got one! Doesn't have a remote (we're not sure if it came with one or not), but it does work and plays a DVD without issues.
Would you like it?

I ordered one from Walmart last night. Got $20 off, too. It will be here Saturday.

I splurged for one with 4K capabilities, since I was buying a new one. Hopefully, I’ll be able to see if 4k is all that soon.

Fuck Me. FEDEX is having serious issues. I was supposed to receive a package today. Nope. Delayed (it’s sitting in Chicago). Now, Walmart says my DVD player isn’t coming tomorrow via FEDEX. Delayed. Fuckers.

Hmm…just checked the FedEx app to see if there was a new delivery date. It seems as though the player is now in Hagerstown, MD and still due tomorrow. Fingers crossed! I’ve got some Twilight Zone episodes to catch up on!

My sister sent me a birthday present - it's been delayed 4 times now - supposedly it's arriving today.

It’s here! I just connected it (it’s a Sony, just like my previous one, so I could use the same power cord. Installation was a breeze!). The remote is exactly the same, even.
My other FedEx package is still sitting in Indiana.

Well, that was an exercise in futility. New player, same result. Although I did get to see more of the last episode on the DVD.

I take it your dvd repair thingy didn't work? Walmart used to have a giant bin of dvds for like 2 or 3 dollars that we'd grab a few each visit when we had no other choice but our dvd player. I also heard, which might appeal to you more, that blockbuster or one of the old services was going to offer mail order rentals again.

Do any of your DVD's play on it?

They play. Until the end. Then they freeze and eventually just go to the default screen. I’m starting to think it’s me. I have a hard time removing those things from that spindle thing. I know I’ve lost a lot of strength in my deformed fingers, but jeez loooooeeez! It’s a minor battle just to get a DVD out of that thing!

Yay! I was able to watch all six episodes on a DVD! Woohoo! A couple things:
1. I was able to actually pop the DVD out of the book easily for some reason. I’m not sure why the disc popped out so easily as I did thing different. This disc was the second one on the 3rd page of the book.
2. This disc was the first one I attempted that had not previously been in the old player.
To be continued…
(Im loving some of the old ads included, mostly for other CBS shows - Danny Thomas, Wanted Dead or Alive in season one, Andy Griffith and some show I never heard of in season two. Every once in a while, there’s a PSA, very short, for blood donations or party donations. 🤣)

Another DVD played to the very end! This one I struggled to remove from the book.
I’m now wondering if my old player damaged them when attempting to play them? Hmmm.
I’m still not totally sure this is a go, yet. The first season of TZ put 7 or 8 episodes on each disc. The second season (so far - I’ve only watched two discs) have 6 episodes on each one. That could be a factor.
And minx, I would still have to get these discs off the spindles to put them in those sleeves.

True, but it would be a one-time only deal.
