i love Kelli Cass... soft spot as she was our weather girl here at WRGB in Albany. Had a dark blonde/light brown bob at the time and was called Kelli Bolland. I see what you are saying about her look but all in all it is professional and she is comfortable in it - unlike some others I can think of. She doesn't wear her dresses super tight and 13 inches above her knees like Stephanie does or Anaridis Rodriguez did. I did not like the latter AT ALL. I like LaRosa alot now... did not when they had her on the morning team with the blond guy that came over from GMA. (sam champion) I have always liked Paul. Handsome, intelligent, pleasant and professional. Jen Carfagno, Dr. Postel and Carl Parker are also favs. Glad they ditched Wake up with Al as that , to me, was one of the worst shows on there evah... Al and Stephanie gah! Jacqui Jeras and Liana Brackett don't impress me one way or another. They are just there just like Alexander Steele when she fills in. So sad when Dave Schwartz died. I was a fan since day one. Like and respect Dr Forbes and I understand his need to cut back due to his age and wanting to semi retire but I can not warm up to Dr. Navarro

I follow Reed Timmer on FB who reports for AccuWeather. That is all I know of it, We got DirectTV a few months ago and they have WeatherNation and that isn't bad. At least I get the weather when I want it, like on Sundays when the WC wants to hit me with a marathon of Highway to Hell.

more weather and less filler. was horrid a few years back and when NBC was in full control. I remember when they brought whatshisface over from GMA and they kept saying this morning crew weather forecast was A SHOW ... I want the WEATHER, not a SHOW. I miss shows like Storm Chasers, I believe it was called. Instead we get shows like Three Scientists... then there was that show of the photographer that took landscape pictures all over the world... nice pics but what does that have to do about weather reporting? At the time they weren't even scrolling your local weather at the bottom of your screen. They were losing folks to AccuWeather and WeatherNation and at least started to scroll weather updates on the bottom of the screen while airing this stupid filler shows.

Maybe he can bring back Vivian Brown and Kim Cunningham and get rid of Stephanie Abrams

I have been seeing the All State Commercial with the exploding deep fryers for Thanksgiving. Guess they are utilizing this time of the season to remind folks they see this happen. https://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/nation/2017/11/21/psa-do-not-drop-your-frozen-turkey-fryer/107897732/ This is good. Off to bed!

Hopefully they aren't deep frying them outside to keep their kitchens cooler... Last thing needed are more wildfires... thanks to exploding deep fryers....

i like reynolds wolf.. think that is his name. like a man with a sense of humor

Hello all. Will try to be brief.. also will copy and past to the other small talk forum.. all these new sub forums have me confused to be honest. Thank you to all of you who have checked in with me. Two days ago we were finally notified that the blood test done for the horrid B-raf defective cancer gene came in. I can only imagine the cost... it was a new blood test done because the previous 4 biopsies from the tumor taken back in July, kept coming back inconclusive. Because Joe's spots on his liver, since the July operation have not shrunken, and even grown somewhat, I suspected he did infact have this defective gene... and he does. This means treating his cancer has an extremely poor outcome. I am not looking to have a husband for too long, even the thought of going through with our March paid for and planned vacation now seems doubtful. He is terribly sick with the current chemo, he has had 2 treatments and scheduled to do another one on Monday. Another CATScan in a couple of weeks. Not hopeful in the least based on reading about this, and reading between the lines with his doctor. He had a script to go to Dana Farber again, in Boston for new clinical trials, but when we were there 2 weeks ago, the doctor said they had nothing at the time. To say I am utterly destroyed would be the understatement of the century. Thank you again for all the messages, it really kept me going.

Thank you. I tried to PM you, but that was not an option, just to Follow you. Odd. Anyway, thank you very much. I appreciate it

Hello all. I hope the Mods will bear with me since this is definitely off topic. I have “met” several friends here in the last two years, some especially good ones and you know who you are. I thank you for taking time to send me personal messages of encouragement. We went to Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston yesterday to get another opinion on Joe’s colon cancer.It has spread to his liver with two new spots showing after his surgery done in July. The first two types of chemo, which should have had an effect on it, has not. We’ve been told it is a very aggressive form, which leads us to think he hold a defective b-raf gene. 3 times a piece of tumor has been sent out, all coming back as inconclusive… of course they bill me $1,500.00 a pop.( Wanna guess when they will get paid?) I have to conclude that he does in fact have this gene which is why he is not responding as expected. Another sample is being sent to a different lab, and blood work for a specialized test that can pick up the defective gene now in blood. Can only imagine how much that will cost me that will never get paid either. At any rate, the specialist in Boston said the doctors here in Glens Falls are doing the correct treatment and he started on a new chemo last Monday, however it is not as strong as the first two. IF it works, they would like to see some shrinkage of the lesions. The hope was to keep it at bay, but it is not curable. Which means, best outlook, about 18 months. He hugged me and cried that he was sorry… which I know refers back to the fact he always refused colonoscopies when I told him he should have one. I cannot tell you how broken I am now. I expected to retire and live to old people together… his father is 94 and his mom is 89 and still in good health. How can this happen to him? This morning he said we need to find a shelter to take our beloved horse that we have had since 1995 – the year my dad died of colon cancer. I could go on and on about how devastated, angry and betrayed I feel but I will spare you all of that. This is why I have not posted.. my “nv” the other day was just my computer sending something - some how – on my behalf. To all of you who have sent us good wishes and prayers, I thank you so very much. I don’t have to tell those here who are cancer survivors, how damn lucky you are and I am so glad you are and wish you continued good health.

http://hookedonhouses.net/2012/01/05/sandra-rinomato-quits-property-virgins/ Another show I liked was Property Virgins with Sandra. When she left though and that other woman came on (forgot her name) I lost interest. She did not have the personality that Sandra had, in my opinion.

Sounds like Chip and Joanna have their priorities correct.. family first. Sounds like they have plenty to keep them busy, their kids are growing and will be needing them more navigate the bad decisions of the world out there, as well as the fact they will continue to rehab, but just not for the world to watch. They can step away from the limelight as it were, and go on. Unlike some of those at the Q.... I like them as a couple, could do with less shiplap! Wish them well. As with most shows on HGTV... they take a good show and air it till you can't stand it anymore and that is a shame; and all the fault of HGTV because they want to save money and not invest in anything new. And we all know, the garden part of this network has withered and died away. If Roundup worked that well....

Thank you. i love the older shows more and more. the ones, for the most part anyway, are so poorly written today. They rely on portraying the parents as idiots, the kids as smart alecs & so much of the comedy is forced. JMO Oh, Kody starts daycare today... just half a day and Joe will pick him up at 1 pm. Don't want him to feel abandoned. LOL I feel like i did when I sent my girls to kindergarten for the first time

just watched Columbo and MeTV removed Night Stalker and replaced it with Touched by an Angel. Forgot all about that show = loved Della Reese. Too emotional to watch it tonight but maybe next week. Feel good shows no longer on tv anymore.

he is growing fast. And you're right... he has the most awesome eyes
