Do you remember that #1 North used to be called Lippy's. It was like your old corner store with a meat counter and all. I played a ton of Ms. Pac Man there and used to buy packs of baseball/football cards when they were 25 cents and had a stick of gum. There was also a gas station (now some sort of sap) next to millers where they had BattleTank.

I Honestly remember using a unix prompt to surf the web without and graphics back in college. I want to megadeth.com and they had characters spelling the name out as the text was loading.

i'm sorry missed all this fun yesterday, I was refereeing some basketball for a good part of the day. Has anyone seen the show that they replaced Caillou with? "John Dillermand", Look it up.

Shin splints were the bane of my existence 10th - 12th grade. All three seasons...Soccer Basketball and Track were helped out by a ton of Motrin.

Definitely good advice. I became IAABO certified started refereeing basketball last year. I want to keep active where I can as I approach my 50s so everyday life is just easier. Surprisingly, Its a lot of fun as well.

Actually made some Shredded Chicken Chili the other night. Turned out a little more like Chicken Tortilla soup, but still good. Topped that off with Whoopie Pies from scratch. The filling was amazing!

Back to another favorite....Spaghettio Hotdog Jello Molds!!!!

I thought the models back then went out to at least 10 sun cycles.

I think I have seasons 1-4 from Homicide on DVD in a box somewhere. The cinematography on that show was so different from any other shows back then. The acting was superb too. I remember working downtown right after I graduated from college and seeing the set up to shoot all around the city. Really cool to see what they were producing. Mackenzie Crook wrote "the Detectorists". He was also in the British version of the Office and in the Pirates of the Carribean.

I think that the old network show "Homicide: Life on the Streets" had an episode that depicted the story from the Keepers. I know that Homicide has been off the air for at least 2 decades, but that was a great show. I'd also recommend the show called "The Detectorists", a BBC show which prime currently has. It's not a documentary, very British and dry, but enjoyable. Only 7 or 8 half hour episodes per season, but worth the watch.

I am soooo sorry for this, but remember this from years ago.

just took the dog for a quick walk.....the daffodils are starting to poke through the tundra.

Reminds me of of what Don and Mike used to tell their callers...if you don't like our show, change the channel.

I didn't scroll down before I finished responding to my reply above and just saw this. I grew up very conservative and always thinking like I thought my father wanted me to think. As I got older and began to meet people from different cultures and diverse backgrounds, I learned a lot about how my views might be close-minded. I learned a lot form just meeting new people and talking with them. When we have open discussions and dialog, you do have an opportunity to see topics from a different mindset and maybe learn a little bit. We can never stop learning, but to do so, you have to have an open mind.

THe newer half of my neighborhood can get FIOS....that is 2 houses down from me. :-(

North Carroll Middle? My mother retired from there last year right before Covid hit. I'm very glad that she decided to retire since she is 76 and doesn't need the stress. My wife has been back in a Catholic school in Ellicott City since September 5 days a week. She was extremely worried at first and does get concerned, but thankfully she has been safe. She did get the first shot a few weeks ago and is scheduled to get the second one next week. We let our kids choose if they went back to the Hybrid Model at South Carroll and they both decided to. Unfortunately, My 10th grade daughter tested positive after the last game of basketball 2/14. We understood the risks and she has recovered from a very slight case. Thankfully nobody else in the house has had any symptoms since we have been homebound for the past 2 weeks. The kids and wife go back to school next week when quarantine is up and we will still all wear our masks until restrictions have eased and respect others choices. I agree with a lot of points made here this evening, but most of all I just wished that we could all respect the fact the each and every one of us has differing opinions, and that is not a bad thing. What is a bad thing is when we don't respect (not agree) others ability to have a differing opinion if it is different. If more people in general just stopped being so stubborn, this world would be such a nicer place to live.

I had to read this twice. My first thought after reading was a bunch of kindergardners sitting there fingerpainting the March weather models.

Being from the northern part of Maryland, anything past Fredericksburg is southern Virginia to me :-)

My daughter has a softball tournament in southern Virginia in July. When we booked the hotel, i didn't pay much attention to where is actually was being that we are still 5 months away. We just received conformation from the hotel we have booked - "Residence Inn Short Pump at the Notch" I'll let you all know what Short Pump is all about when we get back.

Isn't 70 closed as well westbound to New Market?

I'm watching the white asteroids fall like a plinko disk as they hit the branches of the tree in my front yard.

Had to be January. I had two of my first three weeks of a new semester at college cancelled. I also remember the snow, sleet ice.....so thick that I couldn't break through either.

I do know that is it's just the combo of both services just sending out their forecasts and it looking very ugly on a map but it is just amazing that they don't collaborate on these forecasts at some point.

I really love the invisible barrier otherwise known as the Mason Dixon Line which seems to depict a massive cold air dam.....
