Mornings with Danny and Laura on 91.5 CKPR

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.
