It's still on sometimes, used to be more often, where the lady and daughter are at the store and the little girl keeps saying she doesn't like everything.  I think it was for pediasure or something like that.

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.

Wow, you sound like a salesperson.

A salesperson trying to sound honest, talking about the the people at the service desk.

Where I am we really didn't see any damage.  And yes, we really should thank God, the storm could have been a lot worse, one storm created a tornado and caused damage SW of Omaha, it lifted but stayed as a definite wall cloud with a funnel at times as it went over Omaha, then it dropped back down just NE of Omaha causing more damage into SW Iowa.  I haven't heard any ratings on this storm but it flattened at least one home on both sides of Omaha so it had some power behind it.

We had our first bout of severe weather in the area last night, where I live we got some wind that may have just barely passed severe criteria, but we had non-storm gusts in the afternoon and evening that were almost as strong.  Few tornadoes in the area, sadly a couple homes and a few farm buildings were leveled and a few injuries, but fortunately no deaths.

I'm seeing a dramatic temperature change here in my area!! We went from the 90's today and we will be in the high 60's-low 70's tomorrow. Perfect weather for my journey to shop for a laptop. (I went today, but I had no luck finding one.)   

That's nothing, here in Nebraska very easy to see 60-70's one day and snow the next.  There was one day latst winter at 4 am it was around 50, by 4 pm it was near 0.(And I got the am and pm right, the temp fell through the day)

OK, weather nerd talk, it can be above the freezing mark and snow, just like it can be below the freezing mark and rain (usually freezing rain).  It all has to do with the temperatures in the atmosphere, it was above freezing at the surface but below freezing in a thick layer above the surface, that's why you got snow above freezing.  As for the forecast calling for sunshine, we all know forecasts aren't always right.

When you're in politics, no matter who you are, they'll get you for anything they can, apparently it makes good news.
