    How's the weather where you are?

    Heh heh, I guess sugarbritches and Katzi (being in Alabama and Florida respectively) wouldn't think temperatures in the 40's are anything to be excited about! :)

    How's the weather where you are?

    Rain here too (unlike MinneSNOWda!) and a balmy 49! This extended 40's/50's weather for the end of December is a real nice treat. And the forecasted highs through January 12th --> 50,46,48,48,50,51,45,38,39,44,48,46,43,42! Totally awesome! Of course, that far in advance is subject to change but...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Rained a lot yesterday, and still pretty cloudy today. But still very mild for this time of year! 47 right now. And the outlook is for continued 40's for the next 2 weeks! That'll give us the r word for any precipitation instead of the dreaded s word! I love it! (although I guess overnight it...

    Christmas Is OVER!!!

    Yeah I was going to say, Christmas DAY may be over, but the season still lingers on for me usually until the new year. You still see a lot of Christmas decorations around, I still keep my cards displayed, there are usually a lot of leftover cookies and goodies both at home and work, and a lot of...

    The Myth of Xmas

    That's correct, GeeBee. I still prefer using and seeing Christmas over Xmas (helps keep the Christ in Christmas better). But I'd rather see "Merry Xmas" than "Happy Holidays" (although even there, the word holiday means "holy day" so any secular implication is not the actual meaning). :)...

    Bert with Lefty, if it ever did happen

    Hey there's another interesting thought! Lefty could have cleaned house selling things in bunches to The Count. And by gathering sticks he could have gotten nickels from both Bert and The Count. Bert would have bought them because he likes sticks and The Count would have bought them so he could...

    Healing power of songs

    Lots of Christian hymns certainly do that for me. Like the classics "How Great Thou Art" and "It is well". And I love the classic Christian music this time of year, like "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas", "Silver Bells", "Hark the Herald Angels Sing", "Silent Night", "Away in a Manger", "Do you...

    Nfl 2005

    Well a couple of great Christmas presents from the NFL today. First, the Eagles lost to the lowly Cardinals! (This whole season has been a nice gift - Eagles 6-9, out of the playoffs, and last place!). Second, my Skins trounced the Giants 35-20 (after trouncing Dallas 35-7 last week) and are...

    The Merry Christmas Thread!!!

    Merry Christmas everyone! Happy Birthday dear Jesus! This past week our family had a big concern with my brother possibly having a skin cancer scare. But the testing showed nothing cancerous after all. My brother said it was the best Christmas present he ever got. Praise God! May His...

    Lefty the Salesman

    Very interesting thought. That just may be what the makers intended. I always thought the white outlining with the dings was done for the viewers at home so they could see clearly where the elephants were in case they still were as confused as Ernie. I didn't think it was Lefty doing it because...

    What's your favorite letter segment?

    I mentioned this a few months back and don't think I have ever seen anyone else bring it up at the forum. It's a classic, probably from 1969 or 1970. I saw it a number of times through the early 70's and always enjoyed the music, sound effects, and somewhat slow pace of the animated segment. Any...

    Nfl 2005

    Oooh you lost all three of those, ryhoyarbie. But the most painful of all for you had to be your Boys getting slaughtered by my Skins 35-7 (35-0 at one point!)! Skins still have a shot at the playoffs but probably have to win both remaining games and have some help. And the Colts finally lost...

    Bert with Lefty, if it ever did happen

    Definitely he wouldn't have. And we know what would have happened had Lefty tried to sell Bert the four elephants picture. Bert would have said, "Oh yeah I see the four elephants, 1, 2, 3, 4 right there." No sale for Lefty. And with the invisible ice cream cone, Ernie's only question was what...

    How's the weather where you are?

    And likewise it is nicer here in Philly today too - about 50! After a colder than usual December, it's nice the month (and possibly first part of January) will be closing on a milder note. I'm Mr. Green Christmas, I'm Mr. Sun! I'm Mr. heat blister, I'm Mr. hundred and one! Phooey on the...

I'm really looking forward to it). It plays the opening theme song in the background while showing some scenes form the show as...

    Amusing And Provocative To Kids

    I would say based on his purchasing an ice cream cone for Bert that Eddie did not knock the sand castle over on purpose. I remember he was humming a tune as he was walking by so he was probably just swinging his arms a little carelessly and wasn't really paying close attention to where he was...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Thanks FISH'N'WOLFE! Always a pleasure to see you here. :) The weather was nice in Philly today. This morning was a surprisingly high 54. Felt so nice after the arctic weather we've had this week. Right now it's cooled off a little to 43. The rest of December looks mostly mild (for December)...

    Amusing And Provocative To Kids

    Interesting point. Had Bert have responded to Ernie that there was a parade or circus going on that day, Ernie could have simply said, "Great! I'm going there now!" But had Bert have said, "Farley has a birthday party today" Ernie would have just showed up without an invitation? Knowing how...
