Cooking with Dee 
In other words – stick it in your ear, lil’ darling!
But I’ll have to admit, the TV is a good thing for distracting oneself from the tedium of the treadmill at the gym; otherwise it’s a waste of time!
Really, at best that original e-mail was spam — why would they even send something like that? (Put a message on your show, which is supposed to reach millions, right? Not in someone’s inbox!) This is why (among other things) I’m not much for the mainstream news media.
