I want:
- Nature programs with actual informational content.
- Music channels that play actual music.
That's about it, really.
Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I just wish I could pay per channel. I'd honestly pay a lot for Speed Channel.
The fact that I can't watch Formula One anywhere or any way else keeps me stuck on cable. I'd happily pay $20 per F1 race.
Nature programs with actual informational content.
Those are the best!

We now have a channel, Nat Geo Wild, which does just this. (Our Animal Planet is still a step up from yours, insofar as yours is overrun with America's Funniest Pet Videos and we have at least opted to be overrun with Animal Cops: Detroit. Neither, however, holds a candle to Nat Geo Wild.) Nonetheless, at present I'm just as likely to take advantage of the strong Aussie dollar and buy an Attenborough from Amazon UK.
We also have seven Actual Music channels. There's also MTV, but that's all Real World and such like.

Which is why I am deeply relieved and happy right now, even though my team wasn't anywhere near the championship, because our arch-enemy was, and they lost. Ha!
Liese, sometime how similar we are scares me!

I want a channel called Things David Attenborough Would Narrate and another called Things Neil DeGrasse Tyson Would Narrate and one more called Things Bob Varsha Would Narrate (vroom cars). Everything else I can get online. If you don't talk about mass migrations, supernova or why Ferrari f duct system is different, I don't need you on my tv, I can get you elsewhere if I care.

Taxes are done! Yay Turbo Tax! I never would have thought of all those deductions, and the federal refund will nearly cover all the outstanding IRS bill.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Yikes, this Superbowl is close. There will be no fingernails left in Wisconsin or Pittsburgh.
Or in any of the homes across the country that are united in their Steeler hate.
IOW, SUCK IT, ROETHLISBERGER.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Um, in mememe news, if anyone is interested, I've uploaded a few pictures of me sort-of-before and now.
Me (with Mom) one week after surgery (around 35 pounds down--I completely forgot to have someone take a true Before Picture!)
Me today. I'll know for sure tomorrow morning, but I'm around 90 pounds down so far.
