Today is a very traumatic day for me, and possibly others here.  For about a year now, every Sunday, I've been posting:  TT/Lines of Time schedule, for Sunday, 9 July/whatever.

With the death of WSS coming out of nowhere, I've been functioning in a fog.  Memories dating back to the days of Value Vision and Shop, when it was Tim and Lior and Judah and Wing and, did I mention Tim? 


Any others of you remember:  our lovely and talented model? the soundproof box?  ahh-he (whatever the hell that was)?  potpourri?  knowledge being given? Eyal being held under control?  good humor?   Then, at WSS, his magnificent newsletters--you've read them and know the wealth of info each contained.

All gone.   Never to be seen again?  NONE of the other shopping channels, from slop to Q to HSN comes close to what we had at WSS.

No more Rick Kalina, fgs!  The "teminator/whoever" of August Steiner; Iberra from Oceanaut; Sammy from Gevril!!!!!!!  That was CLASS!!!!!!!!!!  That was superb learning in an entertaining way.

I am devastated.  It was bad enough to go without a watch show (meaning Tim) from 2004 until 14 February 2005, but to go through it a second time . . .

So, in my own little humble way:  at 6 p.m., E.T. (gee, I used to type that out for you guys), I'm going to have one minute of silence in memory of what was THE BEST home shopping had to offer.  I hope that some/a couple/one? of you will pause and think of what was--just a week ago.  :( :( :(

I talk too much, I know--don't care........fire me!

No Lines of Time = the end of 3 days/nights of the week as I knew them.
