Default For you Price Is Right fans
I've watched this show religiously almost every day for over 25 years, and they had a new game on today's show. Balance Game. They take scales and on one end is a bag that signified the actual prize value. Then Bob takes another bad with the last 3 #'s of the prize and puts it on the other scale. The contestant then has to choose 2 out of 3 other bags that will bablance the scales out to win the prize. Pretty cool new game. Not as good as Plinko, but then again what is?

OH MY GOD! That must be a southern thing. My great-grandmother used to call them her "stories" as well...

And she would watch all quiet until someone did something she didn't like...and she would scearm..."Look at that old bitch..." And everyone would look at her like she had lost her mind.

I don't know if "stories" is a southern thing...probably so. Who knows what the hell I say that no one else would understand...

My mom and grandmother call them "stories," too. They live in Southern IL; not technically the South, but might as well be.

Then I guess it must be a generational thing. My dear old Grandma used to call them stories too. Thanks for making me smile thinking of her. She was....still is...the greatest!!!!
