My friends in WV and PA called and it was snowing like all get out....too bad they didn't get to see it.

Back on the South Shore of Long Island, NY my mom, friends and my sisters and their kids got to view it.

It was quite splendid.     Cat

"Hi, I'm Billy Mays with some other junk product to clean your dirty stuff with that the other junk you bought from me didn't clean up in the first place."  Why does the TV go louder when he's on, as if I really want to hear him? 

There was a commercial a few years back for a dishwashing soap where this dog was slurping his big tongue all over the plates to preclean them.  NASTY.  I had to turn that one off everytime I saw it. 

I'm in Iowa.  We've had politician ads on the TV for a while now.  I'm so thrilled. 

Craftmatic beds, Chia Pets, The Clapper, etc., are cheesy but classic. 

The Daisy sour cream commercials used to be on nearly constantly.  The theme song would grind into my memory.  No, I did not want a dollop of Daisy. 

I'd have to say that Kevin Trudeau with his informercials is probably the worst.  What a goon. 

Is it just me or how many others out their would like to throttle Billy Mays.  I am soooooo sick of him.  He's loud, obnoxious, and I'm getting tired of him thrusting his arms out in front every other second.  And please someone tell him to stop using the grecian formula.  It looks very unnatural.  I will never ever buy a product he advertises.

The shamwow guy though.  Now he's very enjoyable to watch and I will probably buy anything he advertises.  Just a nice switch from watching that obnoxious a$$ BM (gee his initials match what I want to have every time I see him).

Just wondered if anyone out there is as irked as me at Mr. Billy Mays.

I married older because I thought he would have his you-know-what together.  WRONG!  He went down, financially-speaking, and took me down with him.  I heard he's in the middle of divorcing his third wife (I was his second).

But...boy, did I love him.

Her daughter called and maybe she did think her mom was upset, but the fact that her mom got annoyed by this is just insane.  If she was on an important phone call with her dying aunt, why she bothered to answer her other phone, no matter who was calling, is beyond me.  As a result, she posted this topic about whether she should let the answering machine get the phone or she should disconnect her phone. That is a no brainer.  If you don't want to talk to someone or are on another important call, let the answering machine get it.    She made mention that she might let the answering machine pick up all of her daughter's calls and not call back just to see what her daughter will think.....isn't that a bit childish.

So I don't know her whole family history and maybe her son is an ungrateful turd.  If he won't talk to his mom because she got money he thought he deserved, that is his problem.  But for her to not be the adult and bigger person by at least trying to mend that relationship......as far as I'm concerned, she can't blame everything on him if she isn't willing to mend it either.

As for her happiness and family getting her down....sounds to me as if she is the one who thinks her family owes her something since she bailed her son out of jail and paid for her daughter's college.  If she is so happy with her laugh and content, why in the world she is posting on here about whether or not she should let the answering machine pick up her daughter's phone calls? 

I have no sympathy for someone who isn't smart enough to make the decision of whether or not to answer her telephone. 

Why do our companies never stand up to dictators like this?  I have one who honestly sounds like he's drunk and he speaks English as a first language!  I call him smushmouth because all I can understand is smusha-smusha-smusha at any speed level.  I had one at an old hopsital who had narcolepsy!  He would literally fall asleep while dictating so you'd have to sit there and wait for him to wake back up and then he'd start over or start in the middle of a sentence he never began.  Drives me nuts.

What kills me too is that one of my in-laws is from Russia.  Her mom was a doctor there.  She can't become a doctor here because she says her English isn't good enough and it costs so much money to take the tests to get her reciprocal certification.  Heck her English is 10 times better than half the idiots we get so how do THEY pass the test?  Sorry needed to vent today!

I watch MAYBE 1 hour a week of regular ol' TV and that is just local news blurbs.  I am a big movie fanatic though.

What I really can't stand about the crap coming over the airways is the constant barrage of DRUG ADS--whether they are for prescription drugs or OTC stuff.  It's just too much.

I saw a spot on the news about how stores are contemplating putting in little LCD screens into those "kiddie carts" that the adult can plug $1 into, put the kid in the plastic car/cart thing, so the kid basically can stay numbly tuned into some show while the parents shops in quiet comfort. 

Heaven forbid kids are made to behave while out in public.  Oh don't even get me going on the sheer retardedness of it all...
