That's the one I have it makes getting all the contents out of a can easier
It's bowls you lick... not cans....
OK, it's rant time again.
So...we just had day 13 of sub-freezing temps and extreme winds. Was it bad? Yes. I've been so worried for a week and a half of one of our basement pipes freezing and bursting. Luckily they didn't. Was it the worst weather we've ever seen in New England? Hardly. (but BTW, I DID split my shovel in half tonight chopping snow/ice). Point being, I've had it up the wazoo with the hype. Every mainstream nightly news begins with "monster storm bearing down on (fill in your state here)". It's surely Armageddon and only the Gov't can keep us safe from it. Gimme a break. Please.
I don't necessarily blame the meteorologists, but I surely blame the networks they work for. As long as they (the networks) keep fostering the idea that all is gloom and doom they reason that we HAVE to believe and depend on them, because they will keep us all safe. Yeah. I'm not buying it. News reporting, both local and national, has sunk to an all time low. I'm REALLY tired of it, but I don't see it changing anytime soon.
And DON'T get me started on "wind chill factor"

To say you are preachin' to the choir with me... would be an understatement. The networks have forgotten that they are suppose to just "report" news... not make it up. The sad part is that with the weather that some places have had ( such as in the NE )... they don't need it exaggerated just to make a story.
Now THAT'S a novel concept! Wonder if they'll pick up on it.....
dey cam't be pickin dat up cuz dere shobels broked up J
It's not only the weather they suck on reportin it's ALL da news reports. We needs Frank Gallagher fer New Reporters Presidemts !

The problem is that "gloom and doom" sells.
