Ah, yes! Shredded Wheat! I love cereal. I have about 5 different boxes of cereal right now. It's just me, but I like my variety! I have: Kellogg's Smart Start, Post Grape Nuts, General Mills Oatmeal Crisp, Wheaties & Golden Grahams...
The thing that worries me with imports is that they change it to meet consumer's tastes. One girl I used to work with who was from Hong Kong had the Asian version of Ovaltine and there was hardly any chocolate or sugar taste to it like the American version has.

Manda, do ya'll have Shredded Wheat over there? It looks sorta similar to Weetabix. Big loaf of wheat cereal. Ours looks more shredded while Weetabix looks more like flakes packed together. I'd bet the flavor is similar, but consistency isn't.

Do you guys have humidex too? Or just windchill?
We used the heat index and the windchill factors quite a bit in Indiana. However, I've never really known a need for using them in CA. If the temps here in CA say 80 degrees, then that is what it feels like.... maybe only off by a degree or so.

Thanks for that, Manda. I wish we had HBO! I think my friend has HBO, so she can probably record it for me on her DVR.

I prefer the frosted mini ones after they've been sitting in the milk a while, they get so good and soggy. Yum!

From what I gather, I'd probably like Weetabix since it's more like bran flakes or something like Total pressed together to make bars and when covered with milk, soften quite a bit to eat.
Is Little Britain a show with a storyline or is it skits more like a SNL program?
Looks hysterical either way if I had HBO.

They show it on HBO if you get that channel. You can watch clips of it on the HBO website too, and YouTube has a lot of clips from them too.

Have you ever seen 'Only when I laugh'? It's an old (late '70's-early 80's) comedy set in a hospital.

I have not. I was checking our PBS listings for Brit Coms and they did not have much to offer. My ex liked this show that was on one time. It was a guy who was disguised as a superhero and they had this baby who was kind of a superhero too?

If you mean the one where he was actually an alien, it's My Hero with Ardal O'Hanlon. My dd loved it!
