Countdown to Spring

Can I just Vent a bit here? I know I should probably go to my Vent forum but you've always been so understanding for me, that I thought I'd take a minute out of your busy day.

I'm sick of winter. I'm SO ready for spring. It's March 11, 9 or 10 days away from the official first day of spring (depending on your info source) and here it is SNOWING again. It's cold and it's windy and everyone in my house is sick and I just want to SCREAM because my stupid tulips were starting to sprout when a foot of snow landed on top of them last week. And it isn't gone yet. There is another storm predicted for March 15 - a nor'easter. Great fun.

I think that's all I have to say. Thank you for listening.

TeeVee Land

What on earth has happened to Fox? It truly has become a parody of itself. I don't like to complain about teevee, because frankly, it is my life, as sad as that sounds.

But I made two discoveries about our local Fox station. 1. They are the only news station in the Boston area to consistently cover Leominster and Fitchburg in their weather reports. I believe I've griped about that before, the fact that if you don't live in Boston it's as if you don't have any weather to worry about.  For example, this storm due on the 15th may or may not dump snow on Boston. Out here in no man's land, we know we're going to get snow. I'd like an idea how much, but the weather reports keep saying "We may get missed." The thing is, I know they aren't talking about me. I'm not going to get missed. I will get snow.  Channel 25 is the only station that regularly puts Fitchburg's name on their little weather map. So they are my news station of choice.

On the other hand, I can't believe all the crap that Fox is programming.  The 15 year old boys of the world must be in heaven with "World's Scariest Police Chases 7, 8 and 9" and that horrendous "Guinness World Records" show.  That show is so horrible I can't even watch the promos for it. Someone will have to kindly explain to me why I need to see a picture of the world's largest tumor in the commercials. There was one commercial that made Keith and I physically ill. 

I guess if Fox is making money off these shows, and I'm sure they are, they will remain. But does anyone take them seriously anymore?

The new version of the Delphi forum software will allow you to have "guest" access to "try before you buy".  I believe it currently works in my Vent forum, and soon will for the Big DumpTruck and Emeril forums.
