I watch PBS nd NPR mainly, because I don't have cable, and can't stand commercials. They have a variety of shows that are interesting, but some of the hosts are annoying. They have travel shows, and 2 of the hosts. Rick Steeves, and Burt Wolf are pretty annoying. Steeves is a lot worse, from his look, dress, and manner. His shows are on the most. Wolf isn't as bad, but still not as good as Rudy Maxa. Rudy is the best, probably because he just presents the info, and doesn't try to be funny.

There is a woman with a cooking show, Lidia Bastianich who cooks Italian. She is hard to take. First she isn't Italian but Croatian, but moved to Italy when young. She is fat with short hair, and does some strange things. When she likes something she gives it 3 Umm's. She doesn't know how to eat spaghetti. She picks up a fork full, puts it in her mouth, and what is hanging out she Bites off, and it falls back in the dish. If she Was Italian she would have learned to twirl it on her fork, and talking with her mouth full doesn't help her image.

NPR seems to have gotten the volume uniform on the shows and the breaks, that the changes aren't blasting, but PBS still hasn't gotten it right all the time, and the music and singing in the breaks can be pretty irritating. Thank god for remotes, but they do wear out.

Great... The football team won BIG last night, 59-21, against the former quarterback. Now all the sports talk will be about How Well they played, and how far they might go...

Our QB Now is the Famous Dog Killer/fighter. Michael Vick, who spent 2 yrs in jail, and Lost a 130Mil$ contract. Our old QB Just got a 5 yr extension with his New Team Yesterday, for 80Mil$. The old QB stunk, the head coach is a moron, and Can't coach, and is a moose, and has 2 sons who are drug addicts, pulling guns on drivers, and One tried to smuggle drugs Inside his Butt when he Went to Jail. The judge said the family was Disfunctional. They couldn't even get him to a hearing, they were TOO busy...

The dad used to wear horizontal stripped shirts that made him look Even bigger. He went on Jenny Craig and was doing ads. He lost 50lbs, that didn't show, and stopped and gained Even More. He had No experience as a head coach, and was just a quarterback coach, when he was a lineman when he played and Must weigh 500lbs. It Doesn't compute... 11 yrs later he Still makes Dumb Mistakes. He calls time outs when the Other team might...

The owners are the worst, and do everything to screw the players and fans. One player would have gotten a 1mil $ bonus if he got One More Sack, and they Wouldn't Let Him Play the Last game. They Always have the most money left under the salary cap, because they won't pay for good players, and Say they are the Gold Standard of the league. Yea, the ones with the Most Money. A few yrs ago they wanted the season tickets paid for 3 weeks after Xmas In Cash. No credit cars. THEY didn't want to pay the CC fees, that would have been 180K$. When they got the city to build them a New stadium, they conveniently forgot to install water fountains that are a MUST. They were trying to get away with making people pay 3.50 for a bottle of water.

How they win as much as they have with a dumb coach, and mediocre players, the games Have to be Fixed... Anyone who roots for them Must be a moron..

I listen to sports talk shows or NPR. At 5:30AM the moring show hosts come on. The main guy is from RI, and has a strange way of speaking. Has an odd accent, and pronounces some words oddly. It is the AM drive show so he is louder to wake people up. Between his accent, pronunciation, and volume, he is really annoying. Most of the stations hosts have strange sounding voices. Usually people on radio and TV have a normal sounding voice. One guy on the next time slot has started hollering once in a while, probably trying to show enotion, but sounds like he is on medication or Needs to be. They both do commercials, and are hard to take. There is another sports talk station, but at those hrs, they talk more about national teams, so not as interesting. NPR is repeating is repeating stories.

with cheap owners that screw the players and the fans, a dumb coach, who wouldn't be one anyplace else, and he and his family are a disaster, and he is SO fat he gasps when he talks, and a dog killing quarterback, they keep winning. I Know the games have to be fixed, by the way the gambling goes, and things that happen during a game, but it is annoying to have to see the team win, when they shouldn't, and people get all excited by it, like they are worth rooting for, as much as they get screwed.

Still don't like radio and TV hosts with annoying voices or styles. One sports talk radio station has a lot of them. One guy has a strage accent, can't pronounce words right. He does commercials which are annoying also, and he is their top guy. Another guy started ranting like he needs to be on medication. A different station has better sounding guys, and one is really enjoyable, but some shows talk about national or college sports, which always isn't interesting. Have to juggle what to listen to, and turn off the volume on the annyoing ones.

The hip is hurting again. Must have restrained it, but not sure how. Might have been something simple, like getting dressed. It's the 3rd or 4th time it has hurt. It goes away fast, but is limiting when it hurts. Thinking I might need to go for the prolotherapy injections to fully cure it, but when it gets better, seems like no reason to go.

dumb people, ignorant people, ones with screatchy voices, ones who can't pronounce words right, changing letters, ones who yell when they speak.

Met someone on line, who is Very opinionated, with a screen name, "Fluffy Luggage". Who would pick a name like that? It's a mind bender. The visual is pretty weird. It's weird just thinking about it. I picture someone with rolls of fat.
