A lot of people e-mailed me here at the station for what I said on the radio Wednesday just after 9am, thanking me for giving them the idea of taking left over turkey and making sandwiches for the less fortunate … well i’ve got my bag of bread and i’m going to hand them out on Saturday when I go to the Auto Show… and you should also … its really simple and will make someone happy
By the way, if you cant get through during the week on the phones, feel free to email me anything you want us to talk about, post on the blog, spread to the world
I love Thanksgiving. Seeing my family, my childhood friends and eating that dinner. I love turkey, cranberry sauce, dressing, mashed potatos, gravy, greens, cornbread,pound cake….good bread, good meat, good Lawd let’s eat!!! Now the menu may differ somewhat for you (stuffing, pumpkin pie, green bean cassarole) but the principal is the same.
I would like to start a new movement. You know how people will have “Christmas in July” I think we should have Thanksgiving in June. It’s before it gets super-hot and a perfect time to test out new recipes along with practicing the old favorites. Wouldn’t that be a great summer barbecue theme? We could fry the turkey and maybe change some of the sides: apple pie instead of pumpkin, grilled corn on the cob instead of potatos….why give thanks only once a year? Plus, you can probably get a different assortment of friends and relatives over for the weekend because the travel wouldn’t be as expensive. No “holiday pressure” just a good ol’ fashioned graze.
If you’re sitting reading this while baking a bird this probably doesn’t sound as appealing but I won’t give up. I will remind you in May, when this feast is a pleasant memory that makes you warm happy and a bit hungry. Yeah, Thanksgiving in June will sound pretty good then. You’ll be in my clutches and so will your turkey…..(insert evil laugh here!) until then Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I hope you have lots of things to be thankful for. One thing I am very thankful for is your support and love of this show. Peace and Bon Appetit!
You would think that with all the challenges facing us as a nation: war, sliding economy, skyrocketing jobless rate, rampant housing foreclosures , no health care etc. that the evil among us would be too busy to spread their poison. However, this seems not to be the case. I think hard times sharpens the claws of some of these “social vampires”.
You know the type. The so-called “friends” with all the “helpful” advice that they are happy to hand out whether welcome or not. They always know the best way to raise your kids, for you to find a new job, get you out of debt and are happy to tell you as long as you don’t mind a few digs along the way.
Hitting a low point in life is when you really find out who your real friends and loved ones are or at least should be. I remember being laid off, downsized, let go, (or use your own adjective) out of a job a couple years ago. My family and close friends were supportive. Some folks I didn’t consider as close were surprisingly supportive and helpful. The flip side is people that you thought were friends who are actually a bit happy to see you take a dive and not shy about letting you know. They call to press for all the details so they can embellish them and spread the news to anyone who will stand still long enough to listen. They fake surprise when you’re ticked off at them for “spreading your business” claiming they were only trying help. They are happy to mention you’ve put on a few pounds, still don’t have a man or that your job skills are lacking and the bigger the crowd they do it in front of, the better for them.
Here’s the deal, don’t let them have the satisfaction of kicking you when you’re down. If it’s a friend or significant other maybe it’s time to strip them of those titles. Those folks are supposed to lift you up when you’re down, congratulate you when you succeed and tell you the cold hard truth when you need to hear it without crushing your spirit. If they can’t do it, relieve them of the job. If it’s a relative that you can’t avoid this time of year, limit the time you spend with them. I don’t like roller coasters but I’ve learned that the part that I really can’t stand lasts for a minute to a minute and a half. This makes it easier, when I get to that part I count or remind myself I only have to be uncomfortable for a minute. When it’s over , it’s over I walk away and leave the stress behind. Do the same with those relatives, limit the time you spend with them and when it’s over, walk away and leave the negative behind. If you can’t, call a friend that makes you feel great whenever you talk to them and let them help you through it.
Holidays are a time of Hope and Joy, don’t let anybody stomp on yours.
I just want to reach out to you and wish you the best of Thanksgivings. You may be in and out of work in the next couple of days so in case we miss each other I want to let you know that I give thanks that we have you all in our listening family. You have opened your hearts and shared so much in the last year. We are recapping the whole year in a couple of weeks. Which takes me to the Turkey of the year. If you had to pick one person to be the idiot/jerk/knucklehead of 2008, who it be? I’m tempted in giving you my pick right now but will show restraint and wait to give it to you on the air.
My girl and I where looking at the Christmas stuff this weekend. Since when are artificial trees so freaking expensive? Ay Dios mio, I better put it on layaway for next year…LOL
I like it when someone says, “You don’t have get me anything for Christmas this year” Do you think they really mean it? Hell no! But that is a disclaimer you are sure to hear this holiday. Don’t buy it! I did that one year and learned the hard way. The girlfriend at that time said, “oh you don’t have to get anything for my birthday” So I tested her and got her just a card and a balloon. LOL You should of seen the look on her face when I told her “I thought you told me not to get you anything?” Oh, my young and stupid days!
FYI, you have to check out the deals on the top of our home at Movin997.com. Gift certificates at half off!
Here is my prediction for Dancing with the Stars……(drumroll) Brooke Burke. Gee that is going out on a limb but what can I say, I’m famous for the five dollar bet! I don’t get too crazy!!
That’s right I am calling out the Dallas Cowboys, I think the 49′ers are going to pull off an upset this weekend. Why? Because I woke up feelin’ it. Either I’m right and a little bit psychic or I am going to be slammin’ down a huge crow sandwich on Monday. Go Niners you can do it!!!!
Bill Bellamy is one of the most fun guests ever. I love having him in studio! If you get the chance check him out this weekend ladies you will enjoy his act and he’s delicious to look at. He’s at Tommy T’s in Pleasanton, for ticket info: tommyts.com
Thanks for such varied and heartwarming answers today in the Ladies Room. The question was “How did you know this person was forever?”. I got answers that ranged from my first look into his eyes to when he came over to meet my Dad. Anyone who’s ever experienced that kind of love always remembers “the moment”. If you didn’t get through, I’d love to hear about it. E-mail me: maria@movin997.com
That’s all folks. Monday’s Ladies Room question: Who’s the person you are least looking forward to seeing this Thanksgiving? I want you to get it off your chest before the big dinner, it will save you some heartburn and indigestion! Have a great weekend!
What exactly does that mean? Is it just straight up hottie status? Most recognized? Most famous? The only thing I know for sure it that it’s a living, breathing fantasy-inspiring man.
I went on a bit of a rant today because People Magazine just released it’s “Sexiest Man Alive” issue and Hugh Jackman is the winner of this year’s title. I think Hugh Jackman is handsome, talented and probably a nice guy but Sexiest Man Alive??? I think not.
We took up the question in the Ladies Room? There were lots of hot men nominated for the honor. Some are famous:The Rock, Will Smith, Johnny Depp. Some not as famous: Antonio Sabato Junior, Matthew Fox. Some powerful: Barack Obama. Some downright surprising: Tennessee Titans Coach Jeff Fisher? The list goes on. I guess the point is that old saying “Beauty ,or in this case sexy is in the eye of the beholder. I still want an answer for my question though. Every Friday we talk to Larry Sutton of People Magazine and I will ask him what the criteria are for this honor and who actually decides because more than ususal this Hugh Jackman thing looks like a giant plug to me (hello, his movie Australia hits theaters next week). Plugging is fine we all do it ,but if that’s what it is call the issue “Hottest Guy in a new movie this week”, than we can have lots of “hot guy” covers to collect and trade.
What’s up peeps! I had a hunch that today’s love trap was going to have some drama (check podcast) Olivia had caught the boyfriend’s mom slip up and mention his ex’s name! I thought there is a lot of smoke here, he must be cheating. Boy was I wrong, instead we have LOCA on our hands. Yes LOCA in caps because she took paranoia to a new level. We are still apologizing to her now ex boyfriend Brian about setting him up.
Big love to Maury Povich who made my day this morning with his candid conversation. I’ve spoken with him several times but today he revealed that the old Current Affair (ca-chong) sound effect was named after his wife Connie Chung! LOL Listen to the interview to find out how you can have his famous line “You are not the father” on your ringtone!
I still can’t get over yesterday’s revelation from Damon Wayons that he didn’t vote. The thing that is even more puzzling was that he told us he cried when Obama was elected president. I was originally disapointed that our interview was so serious and not funny but now I think it was good to see a different side of Damon. We will have tickets tomorrow morning for his Cobb’s Comedy Club appearance this weekend.
I’m sorry if you have emailed a Baltbuster and have not got a response back, we are so backed up on them right now. We are counting down the top BBuster’s of the year in a few weeks!
That is basically the question I asked this morning in the Ladies Room. Why? There was a story that hit the news this morning about Kimberlee Ouwroulis, a 44-year old exotic dancer from Stouffville, Ontario who filed a complaint against her former employer. She alleges she was fired because she was “too old”. Ms. Ouwroulis admits she is older than the rest of the girls but says she never got in trouble at work, doesn’t have a criminal record and still looks great.(You can judge for yourself, there’s a picture on the blog.) She also says she was taking home close to eight-thousand dollars a month as a dancer. She says her former boss basically told her the club was going in a new direction with younger girls. She feels it’s age discrimination.
Based on this I asked “At what age are women no longer sexually attractive?”. Ladies overwhelmingly you responded that there is no set age. I even let one man comment who agreed. So as long as we feel sexually attractive, think it , act it and believe it we are “it”!
I, like you, believe that you can’t put an age on this. I think we are sexually attractive at different ages for different reasons. A girl blossoming into a woman is beautiful for her inexperience as a fully grown woman of “a certain age” is beautiful because of her experience. A shy giggle and blush is attractive as is a knowing laugh. The younger woman I feel is mesmerizing because she’s not fully aware of her effect on men where I think an older woman is because she is fully aware of her gifts and how to use them. The point is the media will always try to tell us what we should be (that’s part of the job) it’s up to us whether we want to live up to the stereotypes or break out of them. As for moi…somebody pass me a sledge-hammer!
“I think I married for the wrong reasons,” Britney said of her two-year marriage to K-Fed. “Instead of following my heart and, like, doing something that made me really happy, I just did it for the sake of the idea of everything.”
