or they could just play outside, or read a book…

Shielding them from the real word just means that they’ll be unprepared to deal with it

I cherish the days when we only had three TV channels to entertain us.

When is it NOT tornado or hurricane season now? The Weather Channel has become the latest horror channel!!!

I rather like watching tornado & hurricane updates. Of course, with things changing as they are, it’s almost always hurricane and tornado season.

Pro Tip For Mornings:

A mouse trap carefully placed on top of your alarm clock can prevent you from being late for work. Your morning may not start-off exactly as planned, but our research shows that the chances of you rolling over and going back to sleep AFTER you hit the snooze button, are slim at best.

It seems that The Weather Channel and most other weather-related sources have gone the route of trying to create news/forecasts rather than reporting on them. The accuracy has really suffered in recent years.

Aka nap time

I like the weather channel. I make most of my daily plans by their predictions. So far I have rarely been disappointed in their accuracy, but nobody’s perfect. Especially, the weatherman.

Shielding kids from life isn’t a good thing…it’s the video games, social media and cells that accelerate the ideas, hate, and conspiracy theories. Parents need to talk, explain, and show love and guidance.

Growing up there was a “weather” channel associated with a local news station out of Dallas, Tx, where a camera panned along a series of clock-like dial displays. Those displays showed the temperature, wind direction, wind speed, humidity and the local time. The background music was classical instrumentals which is where I was first exposed to that musical genre. I am beholden to my mother for turning that station on for the music as it inculcated in me an appreciation of the classics.

Just wait until they get out in the real world…

Weather is exciting, lotsa death and mayhem and other wonderful calamaties…

In that case the weather channel might be too violent too.

Bleeb would have had a fine old time here today! :)

I don’t know, Jim Cantore gets pretty violent even when it’s nice out.

If you let them watch the weather channel they will become “Woke”, or in another word, educated. Can’t have that in America as it might offend someone.

June is Sharknado week!

Trying to figure out which Weather Channel hottie that is: Ariella Scalese or Melissa Constanzer.

But what about the commercials??

Just watch marathons of Tow Truck Drivers From Hell

Unfortunately some parents ARE as dumb as her
