Anistorm: Kids will be kids. Adults forget they are adults and act like children.

phw115wvwx: March was alright, but the first day of the month, we had a cold North Atlantic barreling down our necks for about 17 hours straight. Then the snow came, thundersnow (knowing I should have been on the bus over near Cantore's live shot), and then... flurries.

I was just thinking... "Why not get the IntelliSTAR Severe Weather tones as a Ringtone, since I already got the National Weather Service tone?" Do you know how that could happen?

My cable choice would be either Verizon FiOS or Time Warner Cable, but I would need to check out Verizon FiOS before I could answer this one for sure.

Child boo, Time Warner Cable don't even care if you are in the DMA. They are cutting out ABC station WSOC and it's subsidiary WAXN in the city, which WSOC is licenced to Charlotte. WSOC told us on their website, that Time Warner Cable did not come to an reasonable agreement with WSOC/WAXN's management. Time Warner needs to go under, and FiOS needs to step up to the plate and come here, cos if the price is right, they got my business.

Lamarr, seriously? What the hell does that have to do with what Patrick said? He's simply stating he has to do research to see if FiOS, for his needs, is a viable alternative for him. Your reply was uncalled for.

That is quite sensible, knowing TIME WARNER CABLE IS CUTTING LOCAL CHANNELS. You will pay for things that you don't want, and the good things get cut. About 2 million people are getting the short end of the stick, including me. The short end of the stick is they are going up on their fees and also they are cutting channels that are Must Carry, by the order of the Federal Communications Commission.

Just got back from the dentist - No cavities.

Be happy. They stuck a footlong needle in my jaw full of lidocaine. It hurt. They drilled out the bad teeth, and I may have to go back. My filling went out while sleeping.
Forget that. I would buy a grill and wear it everywhere I go, just to not get lidocained again.

Try a toothbrush.

I beg your pardon. Do not go there. I brush my damn teeth every morning, and every night. Brush, Floss, Mouthwash and Gargle, flouride treatment, the whole works. Check your damn teeth. Before you know it, they will have to extract and give you a root canal. And also, as long as I got my issues taken care of, I don't care whether it hurts or not. Don't get it twisted.

As long as you are alright, everything can be replaced, but you can't be. Just thank God.

"If you call in the next 10 minutes, cos we can't do this all day". What a nice sales pitch. Telling people to call them expeditiously just for something that can be done in just as much time. They have all day and you can call when you want cos they don't take in heed of how many times that commercial runs.

Also, there is one "Bettie Grind" someone. Makes this commercial for the dumbest rap song since "Superman that Hoe", called "Dammit, I'm Fly", which comes on twice every hour around :35-:53. Dammit I'm Fly, then Time Warner cable commercial, then Dammit, I'm Fly. I know we have a Gucci store in Charlotte, but why are you going to rap about how "Fly" you are. So dang-on dumb. I am going to tape it through my phone and post it as soon as I can. Though, here is something to tide you over until then.

I was sleep and I was wondering...
"What if the following things went out of business? The Weather Channel, Best Buy, Cricket, and McDonalds?"

All I'm going to say is if McDonald's go out of business, then Church's Chicken will step up to the plate.

If the Church's Chicken here in my area closes down, then I have to travel 20 miles up north just to get fried chicken. In my opinion, they are way better than KFC. Best Buy? Highly doubt about it. I just bought my laptop from there.

What about Cricket, TWC and McDonald's?

What's Cricket?
And...OMG if McDonalds goes out of business, there will be no more Happy meals!!!!

Cricket is the best phone company for teens. Talk all you want, text all you want for $45 a month. For $5 more, you can take your phone anywhere that offers Cricket or MetroPCS. They got cute phones, low priced, but the people at the service desk, they can act ratchet, so watch out for them.
