Weather people/services that haven't a clue about reality!!!

checked the weather yesterday morning and was told it would be 25 and sunny, but was overcast as all day long!!!! and then today it showed 27 degrees with clouds and rain (no hint of sunshine) and there's nary a cloud in the sky, it's a beautiful day!!!!

What's going on here??!!!

Good thing inserting those smilies automatically puts blanks around them. This way you actually have a ? followed by a blank. :tonguehands:

Nah - I just blame that on laziness and ignore you... :D

I read a great bumper sticker this weekend:

Forget world peace - Visualize using your turn signals

One of my absolute pet peeves. Included in that are people who wait until the absolute last minute to make a lane change for an exit off the freeway, especially when I've been in the lane for five minutes knowing that traffic would be bad. :mad:

It's actually Menus, not menu's nor menues :D

You are, of course, right. I wondered if anyone would catch that. (see wink, above)

I was tempted to mention something about 'mispellings', but figured that would make it too obvious.

and it seems to me that more and more songs are becoming legendary and should be untouchable .... like the cover of Sweet Home Alabama, great song, why ruin it?

One of the best covers I have heard is Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm, that was good!
