Look Alikes

They say that every person has a "twin" somewhere in the world. What I think they mean is someone who looks like you! Check out this web site! This is truly funny. This site has many look alikes. It is not limited to people either. They have pictures compared to objects that look like other people or things. Write about how accurate the look alike seems to you. Do you like the site? Will you return to the site in your free time? If you have a favorite look alike, mention that too. I hope you enjoy the site!

Wipeout is Back!

The television series "Wipeout" returns to ABC tonight! Wipeout is a reality/game show using a water/mud obstacle course where most contestants get "wiped out." Oh, did I mention that contestants compete for a cash prize? Last season it was $50,000. So obviously the contestants are motivated!

Granted, this show appeals to the male viewer. However, I know plenty of ladies who watched it fervently last summer. Are you traveling this summer? A version of this show is also broadcast in Japan, Australia and England. Watch the video. What do you think? Will you be watching tonight? Tell us what you think!

Adam vs Kris

Did you watch American Idol last night? Who will win, Kris or Adam?
My opinion is that Adam should win it all. But I have been wrong a couple of times this year. Watch the videos. Then let's vote. The answer will be revealed tonight!

SOLs

They are coming and you can not avoid them. It is hard to imagine anything more stressful than these. That is right, I am talking about SOL tests. Doesn't it seem that everyone is talking about SOLs?

WHS SOLs start two weeks from today. Are you ready?

Teachers stress over them. Parents stress over them. Students definitely stress over them. Do they cause you a lot of stress? What do you think of them? If you could, would you change them and how? Please tell us what you think of them and if you would make any changes to the format.

OPA!

Norfolk's Greek Festival began yesterday. Will you attend? This is probably the largest, best attended and oldest ethnic festival in southeast Virginia. I go every year and it seems to get better each year! Maybe it is because I am a customer of one of the sponsor's.

It was not that long ago that the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and "Mama Mia" were major hits. Did you see them? Watch the short video with me.

Tell us what you think. Do you like Greek food, dancing and the customs? Think you might attend?

How High Will it Go?

Gas prices are rising. You have probably noticed it at the pump in the last week. Do you remember last summer when gas prices were rapidly climbing and approaching $4.00 per gallon? Actually, in some parts of the country the price went way over $4.00. Will they do that again?

But , then it seemed that gas prices fell very quickly last fall and winter. Now, as prices rise, does it make you angry or frustrated when you purchase gasoline?

For those of you who are driving, will rising gasoline prices affect your driving this summer? If you are not driving, would they affect your driving? Or, does it make a difference? As for me, yes, rising gas prices are a pain, but I still need to get to work.

Here is a thought: Carpooling helps out tremendously with gas costs.

Sonic

Once confined to late night television and cable, Sonic drive-in commercials have gone mainstream. That means there is a very good chance that you may be seeing one on your television this week.

Sonic commercials are noted for their humor, which some people might view as corny or not so funny.

Personally, I find them very funny. Even the corniest ones. More than likely, all of you have seen one of them. Do you have a favorite? Or, do you want to run screaming out of the room when they come on? Let's watch a few of them! Tell us what you think about Sonic commercials.

Oh, have you heard the rumor about Sonic commercials? The couple in the commercial are actually married to each other! The two buddies are best friends and the mom and son in several commercials are actually mother and son!
