    How's the weather where you are?

    About 85F,30C for a high today but rain now has cooled things off to 79F,26C. Not too bad compared to what it's been (and is going to be in a few days). Haven't had dinner yet. Snacked on skittles and cheetos this afternoon (not simultaneously) so I don't really have much of an appetite for...

    Peter Jennings Has Lung Cancer

    Very nice job, Erin. Thank you for sharing that here. Here's a few quotes of reaction about Peter's death mostly from some ABC people. I'm sure tons more will be pouring in, as well as some good pieces by columnists in the next day or two. I was glad to hear the words of the last quote (by...

    Petter Jennings is dead at 67

    Yes very sad news. I saw from another source last evening (which I posted in another Peter Jennings thread) that there were unconfirmed reports that Peter was near death. Interestingly abcnews.com at the same time didn't have anything about this. I heard this morning that it was late last...

    Muppet Personality Test

    I hadn't noticed there was a fourth one before so I just took that one too. I'm Miss Piggy on that one. Great. :mad: Edit: Oh and I see there's a fifth one now found by FISH'N'WOLFE. And it's a SS one, YAY! But the character it says I am is.... :grouchy: Well being stuck in an elevator...

    Peter Jennings Has Lung Cancer

    Here's a link of some sad news that Peter Jennings may be near death. Lung cancer is just such a hard one to overcome. But let's keep him in our prayers. http://www.nationalledger.com/scribe/article_2726142.shtml

    How's the weather where you are?

    LOL you're right there. That's like the thing they try to pass of as a cheesesteak at the cafeteria where I work in the northern suburbs of Philly. It's a pretty sorry sandwich and overpriced too. Their grilled ham and cheese and tuna melts are far better. I'm usually satisfied with even...

    Sesame Street films

    There was a short one that showed a school classroom with empty desks and you hear some kids shout, "Empty!" and then some pretty odd but yet neat music plays as the camera is sped up showing a bunch of kids filing in the room and sitting down at the desks. Then the kids shout, "Full!". I think...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Naw, I went for convenience over quality and bought from the closest shop. But like most cheesesteaks it is still yummy. :p

    What's your favorite letter segment?

    Speaking of the letter Q recently, there was an animated one with two guys where one guy asks, "How did you do that?" The other guy says, "Do what?" He says, "How did you stick that funny looking thing in the air like that?" And I think that "funny looking thing" was a letter Q. The other guy...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Thumbs down once again. 85 but higher humidity. And the humidity keeps increasing this evening and lasts at least into next weekend. The temps will be continue to be in the uncomfortable upper 80's until Friday when yet another heat wave of the 90's crud starts. Phew what a terrible summer this...

    Muppet Personality Test

    Well I am Fozzie, Sam The Eagle, and Fozzie. Guess that makes me wocca wocca! That'd be cool if there was one for SS muppets too. I'd probably be Bert, Herbert Birdsfoot, and Bert. :(

    What's your favorite letter segment?

    Thanks Xerus. I figured with a hard letter like Q I better utilize some other types of q words other than nouns, like adverbs and adjectives! And I don't want to even think of what Jack planting an x would do. :eek:

    How's the weather where you are?

    Haha good one FISH'N'WOLFE, you had me going there. When I read that you said it was only 65 and looked where you were from I was like, "Wow, that comfortable today in Massachusetts?!" Well your 95 was what Philly had all week long but today it was a little better at 87. But the humidity was...

    Grover LOVES the ladies!!

    Sorry about that, Bear. I didn't recognize these songs by title or what you mentioned in the first post. And didn't recognize Lena Horne's name either (mistakenly was picturing Susan with Grover instead).

    Big Bird banned on a roof

    Yeah some of these other news items are also a little bizarre. Of course, a lot of stories make news headlines if there's something bizarre or different about them. Like in this Big Bird on the roof case, if no one minded the statue being there then there wouldn't be a news release simply...

    What's your favorite letter segment?

    Excellent job again with this s one, Xerus. :) And oh boy I had to choose a hard letter like Q. Well, let's see what we can do with a land of Q. Jack climbs up and is greeted by a Queen. She said, "Welcome to the land of Q." Jack said, "Thank you." The Queen said, "If you'd like I'll have...

    How's the weather where you are?

    See the first two sentences of post#489 and that describes today's weather here. Waitin' for the evening rains to come and the "cold" front to bring a little bit better of a weekend. Then it gets hotter for next week but, they say, not quite as harsh as it's been. (But to quote one of the...

    Grover LOVES the ladies!!

    Oops, sorry if I got that wrong, guys. I was picturing Susan especially since it goes back to like 1972. Fraid I spoke too soon. Sorry about that.
