STOP THE HURRICANE NEWS ! I WANT TO GET OFF !!!!!! It's a normal Thursday, with the exception of some wind and some rain. I am home watching TV like I would on any other Thursday night except for the fact that I can not find any of the normal shows I would be watching on Thursday night. All I can find is HURRICANE MATTHEW on EVERY TV station. Even FOX NEWS has reports of the freaking hurricane. All they have been talking about since Monday for 24 hours a day is this stupid storm. All you can find on the TV is radar maps of the track of the storm. Where it IS, where it is GOING, where it has BEEN, where it WILL go. ENOUGH ALREADY !
This morning my friends Teresa and Steve came over and put up the hurricane shutters on the condo I am renting. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the two most awesome young friends in the whole wide world. These two wonderful kids have their own house to take care of but took time out to come over here and take care of me. I owe them big time !!! They are GOOD friends !!!!!
So here I am, hurricane shutters in place, snug as a bug in my "Cathie Cave" ready to settle down for the BIG STORM and . . . and . . . and . . . and . . . well, it's almost 10 PM and not for nothing and I sure hope I'm not putting a hex on this, but so far this is a big NOTHING ! For all the blah blah blah blah that the TV stations have been doing and all the upset they have been causing and making people go absolutely CRAZY they should be ashamed of themselves.
I know we have to be prepared but this is too much. The news media has gone way beyond reporting the news and has gone into the realm of scare tactics and sensationalism in order to increase their ratings and make money. It is shameful and criminal !!!! People have evacuated their homes. Two of my friends need to be on Valium or stronger due to the stress they are under thanks to this hype. Both of them are so freaked out they haven't slept in days for worrying about this hurricane. Thank you TV news. This is NOT reporting, this is NOT journalism. This is TRASH reporting that should get blown away with the hurricane.
Thank goodness for NETFLIX and their great shows that I can stream for hours so I don't have to watch 24 hours of HURRICANE MATTHEW (because all my friends are texting me with the latest up dates any way.)
By the way have you watched the show "SHAMELESS" on Netflix with William H. Macey? It is great. Check it out. Netflix is also great for avoiding endless political commercials.
