Are you dressing up in costume for work tomorrow? I'm still not sure...mainly about what to wear..hmmm...will have to think about this one.

I'm reading the pamphlet that we got in the mail regarding the H1N1 virus. I like that it has symptoms listed...perhaps this will help ease the fear in some about what you might experience if you catch it. There are a lot of colds and flus going around this fall. Good to be informed.

I really like the "Plan Ahead" section where it suggests you to talk to your family and friends about helping each other our during the flu season. It also goes on to say that we should all stock up on pain and fever medications...a cold and flu pack would be a great idea! And...you should also stock up on some easy meals. Something you can heat up in a microwave or quickly on the stove. Planning ahead is always a good plan.

Keep your hands clean, eat well and stay home if you are sick!!!!

Talk to you tomorrow!!

Most people call it a cell phone – but…other names include: mobile phone, wireless phone, cellular device.

Who do you have to thank for the invention of the Cellular Phone? Here’s a quick history:

American Telephone and Telegraph thought about creating a wireless phone way back in 1915.
However, they were afraid that this great technology would undermine its monopoly on wired services in the United States.

It took 63 years for the first cell phone to be released to the public in Japan. It was invented by a man named Martin Cooper in 1973 while he was working for Motorola. The cost to the customer: $3,500

In Canada alone, there are over 18 million cell phone subscribers. Around the world…that number reaches closes to 3 billion cell phone users.

A Media Network survey from about 3 years ago claimed that 6% of Grade 4 children owned cell phones. By Grade 11…that number reached 70%.

A study by the Motorola company found that 1 in 10 cell phone subscribers have a second phone that is kept secret from the other family members!!

Did you know that there’s something called "cell phone addiction"? It’s officially defined as the inability of a person to live without their cell phone.

Tuesday Tiara Day is always a pick-me-up...and today, it's turned into a great pick-me-up! Danny and I bet that if the men lost today, he would wear my tiara during tomorrow's battle! Low and behold...the men lost!! So, I'll record it and add the video to our facebook! Yes!!!!


We are going to share an email from Traffic Sgt. Glen Porter tomorrow that he sent after he learned both Danny and I immediately got on our phones IN OUR VEHICLES when we left work. We both called our spouses, who both asked us why we were talking on the phone in our vehicles when we had just spent over an hour talking on the air with Glen about the new Cell Phone Ban...that took effect yesterday!! He was very forgiving...and he shared a story about catching a young lady on the phone in her vehicle. We'll share that with you too!! My phone is going in my purse so I am not tempted. We'll see how that works!!!

Talk to you in the morning!!

Happy Tuesday....


A survey of 4,000 film buffs finds that these are the all-time favorite animated films…and maybe yours too: Ice Age; Finding Nemo; The Lion King; Shrek…and #1 on the list: Toy Story.


Get the flu and you could be fired. Do you think it's fair? If you come down with the H1N1 strain and show up to work, should you get the boot too? Employees of at least one company in Arizona, who have flu symptoms or a temperature of at least 100.4 degrees must stay home from work or risk being disciplined or fired under a new policy. Employees with flu symptoms would be required to stay home until at least 24 hours after the fever ends.

Do you have a goldfish? Did you know that your goldfish can get a headache from you tapping on the tank.

My bestest bud and I have both eaten our way out of our jeans. It's a sad situation, so we decided that we need to hammer down and commit to our workouts and runs. We talked about what days and what we would do on those day and set it all up. Then after the conversation she said, "I'm out for Friday and Saturday"....figures. No, you cannot absolutely commit to everything because we do have lives and she is going on a work retreat but it is funny after going through all the planning to end the conversation with saying you aren't available...already. It's funny.

I do need to be in good shape before I meet with my Trainer though, don't want him to SEE that I have done next to nothing since I saw him last about....3 months ago. Again, it's funny because it's all my fault. Work, kids and more work have eaten all my free time...and it's still my own fault for not MAKING TIME for workouts. So...here we go again...no falling off the wagon this time.

Let's see what happens from here......



WATER COOLER CONVERSATIONS.....

The Toronto Maple Leafs are having a rough go at it with the start of the 2009/2010 NHL season. However, keep this in mind…go back to 1967…they lost ten straight games…BUT – went on to win the cup that year!!


A Harris Poll asked people…what are you favorite tv shows of all time. Here’s a few that made the list: Seinfeld, Friends, Star Trek, The Simpsons. #2 on the list: MASH…and #1: CSI

A wine distributor in San Diego received a credit card application from First Premier Bank (the 10th largest issuer of Visa and Mastercards in the U.S). He was pre-approved with a credit of $20,000. He was intrigued…so, he decided to call and activate the card. Ready for this: they told him that the interest rate on the credit card would be….79.9%. No joke. He said “no thanks”.

It's not supposed to snow when Halloween is just two weeks away. It is supposed to stay pleasantly mild until November 1st...so hopefully we'll get some snow here and there and it will melt away. Then it's time to get out the CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS!!!!!

I can't wait this year to decorate...mainly because decorating and baking and getting ready for Christmas is something our family does together so it's tons of fun!!! Plus with the little ones getting older and understanding what's going on it makes it so much more fun!

Joe and I are heading out to camp next month with a group of people we went to Jamaica with last December...Charlene, Sherry and I ran the half marathon there, while our husbands waited at the finish line for us. When we were finished, we were one side of the fence, where the runners are fed banana's, cookies and drinks...coconuts which we drank straight from..and..well...Red Stripe Beer. Yes it was 8:15 am..but when in Jamaica...

The guys were also huge supporters, with their huge Canadian flag they held up as they cheered us on. It was great to have them there...until they asked for foot rubs because they had been standing for hours waiting for us to come back. Goofs.

We were called "the fun group" because I don't think very much time passed that we weren't laughing and having a great time in Jamaica!!!

We haven't seen them since so it will be a great Jamaica Reunion weekend!!! but there will be no half marathon.....



WATER COOLER CONVERSATION

Couples from around the world participated in a mass wedding ceremony, on Tuesday. The Unification Church organized the biggest mass wedding in a decade, a spectacle church officials said involved 40,000 people around the world.

The Discovery Channel claims the average family throws out over $600-worth of fruit per year. Most of the waste is due to spoilage; we're buying too much & using too little of it.

A new portrait by Leonardo da Vinci may have been discovered thanks to centuries-old fingerprint and palm print. A Montreal-based forensic art expert, said that a fingerprint on what was presumed to be a 19th-century German drawing of a young woman has convinced art experts that it's actually a Leonardo. Canadian-born art collector Peter Silverman bought "Profile of the Bella Principessa" at the Ganz gallery in New York on behalf of an anonymous Swiss collector in 2007 for about US$19,000. One London art dealer now says it could be worth more than US$150 million. If experts are correct, it will be the first major work by Leonardo to be identified in 100 years

What a weekend!

We've got a small family..but when we get together...it isn't really that small! There's my mother, myself and my little family, my brother and his family, along with Kayla, Max and their kids, there's also Victoria's boyfriend Daniel...15 of us in total.

The turkey was amazing...the company even better.

After dinner, we played a game of Trivial Pursuit...Genus Edition. Man, that is old!!! Most of the questions are outdated or didn't make sense to us. Didn't help that when you mouthed the answer to someone, they still got it wrong! Good times.

Next time it will be Cranium! Let's see how the family handles that!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.

When you go to google to check out it's street level perspective, you'll see a glitch in a shot of Toronto...The glitch in Google's new Street View function shows Toronto's tallest tower has a twin. An error shows TWO CN Towers side by side...it's said to be an oversight in the way the shots are edited together. The Google Maps feature launched in Canada Oct.7 and displays images on the Internet from a street-level perspective. Google has been driving around and
filming images of Canadian streets since 2007.


Reports say The Canadian military plans to hire a Colorado woman to teach some of its soldiers to speak French — one of Canada’s official languages. If the contract is finalized, Canada will pay the woman's company up to $270,000 to tutor Canadians assigned to NORAD, a joint U.S.-Canadian command in Colorado Springs. The Canadian military is trying to improve its French after faring poorly in a review. It says the company they are looking at is the only one it found in Colorado Springs that understands the military’s language program.

The President’s Cup starts today in San Francisco ….a team of U.S. players taking on a team of international players who aren’t from Europe….and you might recall the last one was in 2007 I n Montreal when Mike Weir beat Tiger Woods on Canadian soil…once again this year Mike Weir is the only Canadian in the tournament

People who stick to a Mediterranean diet, which is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish and nuts, are far less likely to suffer from clinical depression than people who don't follow this food plan, according to a new study from the University of Navarra in Spain.

Coming in time for Christmas (not sure if will be here or not) is a wireless, handheld TV that's just a TV, and it will have its own dedicated network to ensure everything runs smoothly. The PTV measures 4.4 inches by 3 inches and is a half-inch thick. Touch-screen technology allows users to channel surf with a swipe of the finger. Personal Television, or PTV, is designed, in part, to appeal to parents who might want to keep their children busy with television while out and about while not having to surrender their phones to their youngsters

Japan’s All Nippon Airways (ANA) is asking passengers to relieve themselves before boarding, on the theory that they'll be lighter. It hopes the reduced weight will save enough fuel to eliminate 5 tons of carbon emissions a month

Tomorrow Bob and I are going to experiment with some information we found today....

An Australian researcher claims our brains generate unconscious messages every 10-to-15 seconds during speech and if speech is played backwards it can reveal our true thoughts. He also suggests ‘baby talk’ from toddlers is actually backward speech.

We don't have toddlers in the studio...so we are going to experiment by playing pieces of our conversations backwards!! Wonder what it will reveal!!?!!

Paradise, Newfoundland - now has a 19 year old mayor...Kurtis Coombs. He is the youngest Mayor in Canada and beat the incumbent by 3 votes in the town of 12,500

Last week, The Bay introduced it's new line of Olympic Clothing...AND the opposition parties aren't too hapy with them...as the Canadian Logo on our new Olympic outfits...which is a capital C with a Maple Leaf in the center...looks too much like the Conservative logo

Is there really a cure for a hangover? Scientists at South Korea's National University say there is. Just eat some ASPARAGUS! They say the bright green veggie is loaded with amino acids and minerals that will ease the headache, nausea, diarrhea and thirst...and...it protects the liver!!!

Delivering Shower Radio's was fun last night! We started on Ridgecrest which neither Danny or I have been down before. We drove around a bit before deciding where we needed to go next, and while we did so, we drove over the bridge on Central Avenue by the golf course, there were about four men I saw who looked up and waved, so I waved back. Danny who was driving, waved and HONKED!!! So, while these 4 men waved to say hello, their friend was setting up to putt...don't know if we ruined his shot or not...

Then it was off to Central Avenue off of Oliver Road. We were invited to two dinners and offered wine at two other homes! Unfortunately, we had to continue delivering. Fortunately, the weather was decent, no wind storm like last Monday night.

Today Danny was singing a song that was coming up on the show, and when I heard him, I asked him if he was joking. He was singing the song "Baby Come Back"...and he was singing "and we gotta move tout de suite"....he actually thought that was the line. It's "any kind of fool could see"...but I can see how he could have mixed it up...I guess.

That helped us decide what to do on tomorrow's show...we are talking about misheard songs...so if you have a song that you sang that you always thought you knew the words to but found out you were wrong...please share with us!!!!

Talk to you in the morning!!!

So what's wrong with a military helicopter landing in an empty baseball field to run across the street for a burger?

It happened last Thursday, when the chopper landed in Kenora to refuel. The reports say there was no food at the airport, so the pilot found a nearby A&W across the street from the ball diamond.

Now there are reports that the incident will be investigated.

Do we really have that little confidence in the judgement of our military? They would not have landed where they did if caused any kind of threat to those around them.

Seriously, while I think they should have been supplied food for a long journey...from the garrison at Canadian Forces Base Edmonton to Thunder Bay then on to Quebec, that's quite a long day to go without food. And if there was nothing at the airport, who can blame them for travelling a bit to the nearest drive through? Okay, they may have been supplied with food for all we know...but they were hungry enough to make a stop....

It made for a fun story to talk about.....

WATER COOLER CONVERSATION.....

The University Of Toronto revealed that more than 70% of parents say they teach their kids that LYING is wrong an unacceptable. Meanwhile, 4 out of 5 parents admit that they regularly lie to their kids.

According to a new British study, left-handed children are more likely to enjoy school and get along with their teachers than those who are right-handed. The study of 2,000 kids aged 7-to-11 found a larger percentage of lefties look forward to heading off to school each day and are also more likely to describe their relationship with their teachers as ‘very good’.

Your hands…they truly are amazing!! When you touch something, impulses travel through the nerve network to the brain at a rate of 350 feet per second. Your fingernails grow 3.5 cm’s a year!!

The Wisconsin Tourist Federation has been renamed the Tourism Federation of Wisconsin after some people just pointed out that their acronym was ... ‘WTF’.
