I'll start.

It was 10 in the morning.

I turned on the TV, got me some coffee and sat down ready to get into the Jerry Springer Show.

There had been talk about the station getting pulled and when it didn't come on, I was hat as a firecracker.

I called Time Warner and the gal that answered listened to me razzing her up one side and down the other. I told her, Springer and just a couple other shows is what I was paying 60.00 a month for. Now, they go and take it off the air. Now, I will be paying that 60 bucks for watching only two shows.

I went off on her for almost ten minutes. Then, she was finally able to get a word in. She asked if I'd wait a minute while she checked the scheduling.

A couple minutes later, she came back on and told me Jerry wasn't on the program schedule. He is on on the weekdays.

I asked her, "What day is it?"

She answered, almost laughing, "It's Saturday, sir."

I was like old gal, what's her name, the News reporter, that used to be on Saturday Night Live. I said, "Never mind." Apologized profusely and hung up. I swear, I could hear her office crew cracking up as she was cutting the call.

So. Who cares to reveal some of their Old Timers moments?

I stumbled through the kitchen trying to figure out what to fix my mom and me for breakfast. I opted for oatmeal and used instant oatmeal in the microwave. Then I forgot I had done that.

So a few minutes later I fried some eggs and made some toast. When I decided to melt some butter in the microwave, I discovered the oatmeal.

So that morning we had eggs, toast and oatmeal. sick

Mom didn't think anything of it. She lives in the moment.

Oh well. ohwell

Eventually we will probably both be living in the moment.

:smile: Gilda Radner, played Rosanna Roseannadanna on Sat. Night live
"Roseanne Roseannadanna" was one of several recurring characters created by Gilda Radner who appeared in the "Weekend Update" segments of the early seasons of the NBC comedy television show, Saturday Night Live.
Like Radner's earlier character, Emily Litella, Roseanne was brought in to give editorial replies to current issues. Unlike Emily Litella, however, Roseanne Roseannadanna was not meek or apologetic, but rather brash and tactless. The character was based on Rose Ann Scamardella, a former anchorwoman of WABC-TV's Eyewitness News in New York City. The character later appeared in Radner's live one-woman shows.

I miss Glida Radner I loved watching her too

Rosannas Rossannsadanna and me are good friends.

Actually Gilda Radner based the character on me......bigsmile
I'm a lot more brash and tactless too.
