One-Fifth of this image has been cropped by
KREM2 News. Luckily, it wasn't the best part.
Friday night I was stretched out on the couch watching Ghost Whisperer
on the new TV set. I was already in my night sweats and robe and kicking
back, sucking on some cherry Kool-Aid ice cubes and enjoying the show.
But then, 15 or so minutes in, our local KREM2 news station cuts into
the show with what they called "Breaking News." Evidently there was some
guy out in the East Valley who was exhibiting erratic behavior and who
looked like he might have a bomb strapped to his chest. The police had
cleared the area and the bomb squad had been called in.
Well the first thing I thought of when I heard this was that it was most
likely some poor schmuck who was drunk and or off his medication. And
that most likely the "bomb" was an X-box 360 (or whatever) that he
had duct taped to his chest.
KREM2 interrupted Ghost Whisperer twice more during the episode. And
then they interrupted Medium twice. But of course they didn't take the
time they took with the break-ins away from the regularly scheduled
commercials. They took it out of the shows. All in all I missed about 12
out of 50 minutes of Ghost Whisperer and about 6 minutes from Medium.
Now I know that the police responded as they should. You can't afford
not to take that kind of thing seriously. But why KREM2 thought that it
was something so terribly important that they had to interrupt their
regular programing 5 times I just don't understand. There wasn't that
much information available anyway. It was nothing that couldn't have
been covered on the 11:00 PM news. To me, it was just a bunch of TV
reporters trying to feel important by doing the Breaking News thing like
CNN.
Well as it turns out I was right. It was just as stupid as I had thought.
You know the next time KREM2 breaks into Ghost Whisperer it had better
be because North Korea has just launched a couple of nuclear missiles at
Riverfront Park.
You know, forget that. I don't even want to know that one. Because there
wouldn't be one damn thing I could do about it anyway.
Yep, the reporters overreacted. I hate when that happens. I mean, once was enough. It's not like the tv shows are that long and they couldn't have waited.
"I was already in my night sweats and robe and kicking back" easy ,breezy, beautifulllll………. 😆 " :doh: that's a "cover girl", not a "cover BOY 😀 " commercial! :p "You know the next time KREM2 breaks into Ghost Whisperer it had better be because North Korea has just launched a couple of nuclear missiles at Riverfront Park."news should have less nerve popping their noses where ever the want!sticking their noses in Jennifer's chest at the worst time,is simply unprofessional! and I am not changing my mind on this! do not even try a thing to change my opinion ! Love ya! 🙂

Hmmm. Maybe I could print that out and use it as my new I.D. Mine expired a couple of years ago and I haven't gotten it renewed.
You know Pam you were talking about books on your post the other day. Well I think I'm just booked-out after all the years. I like television and I'm not ashamed to admit it! 😀

Well I can't show a photo of Jeniffer without having one of Patricia Arquette of Medium. It wouldn't be fair.I think Patricia gives Jeniffer more than a run.
Here's David Conrad and JLH.You know on the show Melinda's husband is named Jim.That's it. Just Jim. Nothing fancy.Way back in the 70s we visited a small stable in Wisconsin. Most of the horses had fairly fancy names. But there was this one horse named Jim. We named him "Just Plain Jim.":p
TV companies overreact every time something "iportant" happens. Like everyone has to know what is going on the moment it happens. As you said, except in case of nuclear attack, comet deep impact or Liv Tyler divorcing, I don`t want to be bothered 😛
😆
"or Liv Tyler divorcing"LMAO. Darko, if that happens I hope to see you among the talking heads on CNN disussing how that's a GOOD thing — for Darko G. 😆
I think this "breaking news" epidemic is part of the "me-first mentality" in our society. Doesn't really matter if it's news, or if it even matters, just so long as they're first to report it.Silly people. Wish they'd just take their toys and go home.:p:lol::heart:

You'll have to wait until Johnny gets married…and then gets divorced…then we can go to Vegas! :yeah:@ Star. My great grandfather Maginess' name was James. But they didn't call him Jim. They called him James. "Just James." :p:heart: kisses from baby girl too.

@ Linda. "Details at 11:00!":D
Speaking of bomb threats—-they just arrested a person recently here who has been placing pipe bombs in strategic spots all over E. Texas. Haven't watched news lately so I haven't heard the story, but guess I'd better play catch up with the local news. Have no idea what the idiot hoped to accomplish or if he was going to blow up schools and other strategic spots just for the hell of it. I'll let you know….

You can read about it here Edward. Essentially, the guy was mad at the U.S. gov't (I understand that feeling very well).

You know it would be interesting to read about your preparations sometime (maybe with some photos). As far as I know we don't have any "survivalists" here on Opera. 😆 Seriously, in areas prone to things like yours, earthquakes and such, I don't think it's the "nutso" version of survivalism.Luckily, my own area of Spokane doesn't have much in the way of natural disasters to worry about. Now Seattle, that's another story as you well know.
"Because there wouldn't be one damn thing I could do about it anyway."that's true. don't tell me either. that's like the earthquake they're expecting around here. when san andreas fault slips, i will have ten gallons of water and plenty of food. so if i don't die in the quake. i don't need to know all the details. 😆 just fix things everbody and leave the programs to play as usual. i'll find out on the evening news.
