I am a little sad

Popeye actually gets his muscles from constantly squeezing the spinach can, not from eating the actual spinach! *laugh* No relation to the subject really except for the spinach part-

The folks at News Channel 3 here in Memphis are rude, and I don't like any of them at all--especially the cornball weatherman, TODD DEMERS. He's a rude jerk.

Hey, folks!

Wanted to respond to my response about this post I made 2 years ago.

Back then, I was still bothered by something that happened at a Telethon I volunteered at and because Todd was the one we had direct contact with in that "something" it stuck in my mind, and maybe I was bothered by that 2 years ago still.

However, and this is important, I went back to re-read what I had typed above, and I suppose after 2 years you must mature some, because now I don't like what I typed at all.

Is that at all what I should have learned from the work of Jim Henson? From his legacy and his characters that I should type such a response? No. It's undiplomatic and disrespectful.

I apologize to Todd for that posting, and to everyone here for having been such a rude-jerk my own self.

Take a lesson from the characters in Jim's work. Anger is ugly. Disappointment is going to happen, but it's best to just stay away from those that disappoint you, which I do. The best thing to do is be diplomatic and responsible in what you post, because it could hurt someone else when you're not. Likewise, it's best to be as respectful and nice as you can to people you know or don't know because while something might just be a flitting moment for you that's easily forgotten, it might be the thing that hurts someone else's feelings that they remember forever. I personally don't ever want to be that kind of person who hurts someone else's feelings!!

And for any hurt I may have caused Todd or anyone else, I'm sorry.

And I hope to never see anybody who claims to be a fellow Henson/Muppets fan follow in my footsteps of 2 years ago, but rather these footsteps, because if we learned anything from The Muppets it's being respectful of other people and considerate of their feelings too, regardless what they may have done.
