On the K flavors during WCL, the smaller version of the LOT8s bug from SW is being used.

The only time I heard of him was in a video of WFAA-TV's analog sign-off, when it showed a clip of his show. But I'm sure he'll be missed.

I can't recall if this has been asked before, but does the IS2 display a record high/low screen?

It does, but it's quite rare. It's called Climate Data. It has the average and record highs/lows, not to mention pixie dust.

The cell phone/electronics policy at my school seems rather lax now, except for the consequences. You can have them with you, and you can even use them during lunch, before and after school, and during passing periods. However, you can only make phone calls in the first floor during lunch and after school. Electronics can't be used in the classrooms without permission, and if your phone goes off during class, you'll get a Saturday School, and will get the device confiscates until a parent picks it up.

My first office referral was probably in pre-K or Kindergarten when I said stupid. It was almost 10 years ago, so I'm not really sure, but I most likely did get sent to the office. How I knew that word back then, I have no idea.

Your first office referral, demerits, detentions, suspensions? (I highly doubt anyone here has been expelled but if you have been you really shouldn't share  )

In the CPS, we don't have demerits. In fact, I never heard of them until all of you complained about them. At my school, if you're late to a class once, you're let off with a warning. However, if you're tardy to a class twice, you get a detention. Three times, you get a Saturday School. Four times or more, you get either an ISS (in-school suspension) or OSS (out-of-school). If you have an unexcused absence (aka cutting a class), the consequences are mostly the same except that you get a detention on the first one, with the rest of the consequences adjusted accordingly.

My first detention? Back in freshman year, I locked out the biology teacher. I just intended on closing the door to be funny, so I didn't know it was locked. The class thought it was funny though, and didn't think I deserved the detention.

For the first time in weeks, I heard Metameme. I've been wondering why it never seemed to play.

Actually, for me, winter is my favorite season. I love the snow, especially back in February, because of the blizzard, we had our first snow days since 1999. Not to mention it was the first blizzard I remember seeing.

I actually stepped outside during the blizzard. I was only out for a few minutes, but let me tell you, it was intense. There was snow blowing everywhere, and it was very blustery. Oh, and did I mention I saw thundersnow for the first time in my life?

For some reason, there was a squuezback at :28 or so during commercials, and the squezeeback had the SD national LDL TWC logo.

Did it have a reflection and a little blue flare under it? if so than its the IS LDL logo, not the national TWC logo

It didn't.

EDIT: There was another fall station ID at :57. It's a forest, with the camera panning down on some mountains in the background. Has it been used before?

That one was used back in 2009. There is another one of a mountain range and a blue sky with cirrus clouds streaming overhead. I think that one was used last year.

It was also used in 2009 as well

The one I saw yesterday was the one Tavores posted. I thought the one I saw today was new. Yes, I'm confused too.

I won't be needing the Stove. I'm going to Charlotte, and it's going to be in the 80's there!

Scratch that; guess I'm not going after all. I'll still be able to make good use of the Stove back at home.
