We seem to get a lot less severe weather here than in Bucks County, which is only about 45 minutes away from here. It's odd.

You wouldn't believe my area...It's so insane, that a warned thunderstorm cell, will go either 10 miles to the north, or 10 miles to the south, but NEVER less than or, or over me.

Even with a line, a small chunk will weaken right before it passes over me.

It really pisses me off. I hate this house... :angry: :lol:

How cheesy is this.  I'm going down to the local mall to enter a contest to be a kid reporter for one of the local stations.  I saw the age is from 7-17.  But..here is the story.

It's about some Disney Channel concert happening at the local baseball team's field..lol.  I really want to do it..but I have no idea who these kids are (I know one is on Disney's "Hannah Montanna")  Haha.. But, the winner not only reports about that night, but gets to do an un=related story (I assume) with a reporter.  How exciting.

I don't know the official rules, but i will find out tomorrow

Gil.. I feel your pain.  It seems like ANYWHERE I am, the storms arent

BTW, what TV Tuner card do you have CE?

No idea.  Will get back to you on that.

I'm probably going to go down to the beach the first weekend of August. If they actually give me off work, and everything works out, it will be the first time I've been to the beach since 2003. I would've liked to go to Cape May, NJ, and that's where my parents were going to take me at the beginning of summer, but they canceled the plans because they didn't want to leave the cat alone for all that time.  :wacko: So now I'm probably going to go to Ocean City, MD with my sister and her friend. My sister's friend's family owns a beach house down there. I hope they have cable so I can see what STAR they have.

I was in Ocean City, MD in 1999 and 2004. It's pretty nice down there. When I was there in 1999, they had the XL, but I'm sure they'd have the IntelliStar now.

because they didn't want to leave the cat alone for all that time.  :wacko:
Can't you just board your cat at the Vet? That's what we always do and we've never had a problem.

See the problem with that is our cat hates the vet with a passion. She hates other cats, and causes nothing but trouble at the vets. We always wind up with lots of scratches and bite marks when the cat goes to the vets.

well i got my tuner to work with my hotel's cable system. I wasn't supposed to cablejack but did it anyways :D

I also used a faulty coaxial cable which caused me to not get any audio in my tuner. i'll upload the clips tomorrow on my filefront account since the dsl here is slow. It's a Dish satellite lf.

Would anyone be interested in reading a TWC blog if I started one?
