ThoraSEB said:Thanks SG, I hadn't seen that before. Sounds so fascinating! I don't get the Travel channel, but I'm going to look and see if any other station will be carrying it. I would love to watch that!
Russty Cat said:Drea sorry your day was stinky.
Mine was okay. B left this morning and then I got a migraine so I gave myself a shot and laid down for a while. Its still there, but a bit better so hopefully by tomorrow it will be gone. Mini-cat has a fever still, so we are just a ball of fun at our house.

SG thanks for that! It sounds really interesting! I don't have cable anymore, but if we are still here in town I bet I could bribe my friend to let me steal her tv to watch it.

Travel is part of the Discovery channel network, so they may air it sometime, too
I watch 'Most Haunted' on Travel frequently and I freaked when I saw the ad for this show, and my mom was all confused like 'I didn't see Bono in there, what are you so excited about?'

There are a couple of things on that I may well want to record - so I may go through the effort of dragging the VCR out and hooking it up to the TV with the satelitte reciever - I could probably be persuaded to tape it for you, if you'd like
