Hi Daryl!
BM>Here it seems just the opposite, or at least with the top two stations I
BM>watch the news on. I would guess the primary on-air staff has been on
BM>for around ten years. one female meteorologist possibly approaching
BM>twenty. (I haven't done fact checking, but they have been on-air
BM>'forever'.)
DS> That reminds me of a deal at a TV station in Michigan. They
DS> were supposed to get walloped by a winter storm...but, in weather
DS> if the storm track varies 50 miles either side of the forecast
DS> track, the entire forecast changes. That can mean just a dusting
DS> of snow, or you get dumped on!!
DS> Anyway, this location got very little...and on the late evening
DS> newscast (11pm ET), you had a female newscaster, a male
DS> weathercaser, and a male sportscaster. It came time for the
DS> weather, and the female newscaster asked the male weathercaster
DS> "Where's that 6 inches you promised me last night??!!". The
DS> entire set...talent and camera folks...was evacuated, as everyone
DS> was laughing so hard!! <G>
And their ratings rose! I haven't heard any double entendre bloopers
here, though they've come close and caught themselves
BM>All depends if you like coffee! The packet has four or five colours and
BM>flavours: the white/cream-coloured one is the sweetest (lots of cream
BM>with one's coffee) and through several shades of tan and brown with the
BM>accompanying more-coffee flavour. The dark brown is sort of a 'dark
BM>roast' flavour with a teaspoon of sugar.
DS> I never acquired a taste for coffee. I got served some by
DS> mistake by my Mom years ago, and it was not a pleasant
DS> experience. I prefer iced tea, but my beverage of choice now is
DS> "flavored water".
I got started with a error by my Mother also. Mid-evening, my Mother
would prepare a mug of instant coffee for Dad, herself, and a cup of tea
for me (I was early teens). Somehow she absent-mindedly poured the water
into Dad's cup (he wasn't there, still working) and hers and brought
them in, giving me Dad's cup. I noticed it was the wrong one (we had
our own -- similar but easy to tell apart). Probably mentioned
something; took a sip - bleah! that's not tea! Not rudely but was told
'drink it anyway'.
...College used to drink 'a lot', maybe four or cups a day. Friend
would drink maybe four or five pots a day; probably an exaggeration but
close! We told him he should get an IV for it, which was 'even better' because
his wife was a nurse and so she could do it!
