Saturday Six #375

Welcome to the 375th edition of the Saturday Six! This week, the topic is about the news. Do you still have a newspaper subscription? Do you watch network news these days?

Whether you love it or hate it, I suspect you’ll be able to handle these questions with little difficulty!

Thanks for dropping by!

Be sure to check back this week and click on the links of bloggers who play along in the comments below! It’s a great way to find blogs you may not have visited and to keep the conversation going!

Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your blog… But don’t forget to leave a link to your blog so that everyone else can visit! Permission is not granted to copy the questions to message boards for the purpose of having members answer and play along there. Enjoy!

1. Where do you get the majority of your news: from the newspaper, the radio, the television or online? From friends and online - when I'm logging into Yahoo! or other sites.

2. Do you currently have a newspaper subscription that includes an actual paper delivery? No.

3. What is usually the first website you visit in the morning? NOAA - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. I like the weather forecasts they provide.

4. Who is your favorite network news anchor? I don't watch or read the news. I haven't the faintest idea who any anchor is. I remember Walter Cronkite, but that was way back when my parents watched the news. Back then, we knew the anchors and it seemed they knew us as well. Every night the mellifluous tones of Mr. Cronkite filled the living room. It was a very different age. But mostly, news is depressing and I like not knowing the sad state of affairs in the world.

5. Who is your least favorite network news anchor? See above, but add tho that anyone who is changing his name to "fit" the local demographic niche.

6. If newspapers converted to web-only sites, eliminating the physical paper, even at newsstands, would this bother you at all? Yes, but I still love books and media to be in print. Life is not the same online - it has its pleasures, but it is meant only to be part of life, not all of life.

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
