(APPLAUSE)... "and the wii-ners ARE..."

Deke brought his dad's Wii in for a test drive while Wally was out to lunch.

Cindy apparently is a secret wii-er. When she saw the wii she was all over it!

"Gimme that paddle! " READY...
SET...
GO!!!
This is all cool you guys but just remember...even though Wally isn't watching... someone else is and this whole thing could have some far reaching consequences Decemeber 25...

Something to chew on...wii's-guys! LOL.

me thinks

Probably the smartest guy in the whole station...
Applachian graduate... math major... fluent en espanol...
but poor guy hates computers and technology...

But he got stuck where he HAD to file a claim by fax...

So Erock comes into the FM control room....

after fumbling a little...

finally breaks down and asks "How do I work this thing?".

I tell him to follow the simple instructions on the fax machine... "just remember face down..."

After a minute or so I hear a muffled "I think I got it!"

"WHEW... Me thinks Uncle Eric took those instructions way too serious! "

I'm with you, Colton. LOL!

Feb 14th...Page 2

When I woke up... I noticed My Sweetie was already up and was meandering through the house with

this fresh and noticibly

LOUD Red lipstick...

it just isn't like her to put lipstick on so early...

plus it definitely was not her regular color.

What in the world is she up to?

She handed me my Valentines Card and I had this feeling I was going to find out about the Hot

Red Lipstick real soon...

And...

sure enough...

suddenly it all made sense...

instead of lip stickers...

I got the real thing on my card!

Yep... there was even enough left over for Papa's cheek! LOL

Again "HAPPY VALENTINE's"...

oh yeh...something happened WBFJ today I got to tell you about.

Papa-razzi caught some good pictures but I gotta save them for later when Wally isn't looking... LOL.

February 14... plans go up in smoke...

As you remember from past posts... I am a romantic at heart BUT I flub a lot of special occasions... especially romantic ones.

So this Valentines Day I am trying to redeem myself...

Along with this beautiful HALLMARK Original I am preparing a romantic fire in our fireplace... I planned this weeks ago when I spotted this box containing a phoney but supposedly easy to light fire log at a yardsale for nothing...sign said "box FREE for the taking"... so I took it...

I though this should be a cinch...but the log just didn't look like the picture...

But quick and free is a hard combination to beat...

PLUS... "MORE FLAMES TO FALL IN LOVE WITH" really grabbed me...

And they are easier to light...

And they burn clean....

And they are even UL approved...I thought that was for appliances!

BUT the doggone thing was a dud...never could get it lit... smoked a lot, though! HA! HA!

Yard sale deals..YOU GOTTA LOVE 'EM!

Happy Valentine's Day...

from "Honest John" and "Honest Judy"!

PS: if you need REAL phoney logs... we suggest Wallmart... theirs are easier to light...

LOL!

memories of bonnies birthday

Too bad I left my camera at home for Bonnie's birthday... oh well... I'll have to do this one from memory...

OK...

Best I can remember Bonnie arrrived at the party and made a big splash in her new birthday suit...

BUT it was Tami that tried to steal the show and imitate Wally's little "Itsy-Bitsy-Spider" thingy...

Best I can remember that move took Wally totally by surprise... I think it even made him pucker a little...
Since Tami's first attempt to get the party moving was a bit under par... Wally asked her to do her "Jeanie-in-a-bottle" routine...

OK... BUT Things really started to get moving when Tami invited Deke to a arm wrestling contest...

Poor Deke... his heart just wasn't in it until ...

Bonnie yelled out, "WINNER GETS ONE OF MY FAMOUS HOMEMADE PIZZAS..."

"Your choice... Spicey Armadilla Skin Roadkill... "

"OR... my pineapple upside-down pizza!"

Y-U-C-K!

I saw a food fight was about to break out so I grabbed some ice from the chest and started a snowball fight...

Pretty cool..the whole thing made Bonnie CROSS-EYED trying to dodge the snowballs...

All-in-all...pretty good party...

at least I remember it that way.

Next time I'm going to take pictures so I can get it right for sure...

my memory isn't what it used to be...LOL!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" Bonnie!

Uncle Erock's in the bfj "Hoosgow"...

Yep Colton...partner, it's true! Uncle Erock, our afternoon traffice master on WBFJ AM is in the new WBFJ HOOSGOW...

Don't know what EROCK did but apparently Sheriff Wally threw him in the HOOSGOW today...

Though I have to admit... Uncle Eric seems quite content in there... we just might leave him in there for awhile...LOL!
OK..the jig is up. We're actually expanding the AM Control Room with a new door into the adjoining closet which will become an auxillary production room.

By tomorrow afternoon the "wooden bars" will be gone and there'll be a doorway there in the back.

So I was pulling your leg...

but it did give you a chance to meet Colton my grandnephew (I guess that's the right word) and to see the progress in the WBFJ Total Makeover...

Also introduced you younger folk to the term "hoosegow"... i hope you figured it out...lol

I wanna LIVE!

Scientific Evidence that a Hug-a-Day Can Save Your Life


"Scientists are increasingly interested in the possibility that positive emotions can be good for your health. This study has reinforced research findings that support from a partner, in this case a hug from a loved one, can have beneficial effects on heart health."
Dr. Manny Alvarez/AH (Feb. 5th, 2007)

In a FOXNews report by Dr. Manny Alvarez, statistics are revealed from a study that shows the physical benefits of hugging another person, especially a spouse or partner. With the approach of Valentine's Day, Dr. Alvarez begins his report with a summary of just who St. Valentine really was, and how that relates to the research on hugs.

Says Alvarez, "Besides being a martyr for love, Valentine was actually one of the first to understand the psychology of human emotions. This young priest knew that men who were about to face danger and possible death could only be brave hearts if they went off to war with a hug from the girl they left behind."

Hugs—it turns out—really are advantageous to the health of our bodies, not just because they may "feel good," but also in light of the recent study done by the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

The first part of the research, conducted by Psychologist Karen Grewen, involved 100 adults with spouses or long-term partners. The couples held hands while viewing an "enjoyable" 10-minute video. Then they were asked to hug for 20 seconds. Meanwhile, another group of 85 rested and waited, without any contact or their partners.

Eventually all the participants were brought together, and while being medically monitored, each one took turns telling about a stressful, or upsetting event from their lives. The researchers found that the blood pressure "soared" in those telling of the event—who had been deprived of contact with their loved one...their systolic reading climbing 24 points—double that of the couples who hugged.

In addition, the heart rate increase in the deprived-of-contact participants was also double that of those who hugged.

The study went on to reveal more of the mysterious benefits of hugging. For example: hugging releases oxytocin, the "bonding" hormone, in the blood. Oxytocin has been found to trigger a "caring response" in both men and women. Oxytocin is also the hormone which stimulates labor contractions and the release of milk during breast feeding. Finally, in all the women studied, researchers found a lower level of cortisol after hugging. Cortisol being the hormone the body releases when dealing with stress.

Alvarez concludes his report with a statement from a BBC News quote, by Dr. Charmaine Griffiths of the British Heart Foundation, who said, "Scientists are increasingly interested in the possibility that positive emotions can be good for your health. This study has reinforced research findings that support from a partner, in this case a hug from a loved one, can have beneficial effects on heart health."

Holey Dualing Doughnuts, Batman...anyone kremed?

I heard this rustling sound coming from the station kitchen...
I rushed in not knowing what I'd find...

Would you believe ... two empty doughnut boxes bumping each other.. I thought it was funny but how can this be happening...

must be a mouse!
As I got closer the KK box popped the DD box like they were "boxing".... surely Tami or Deke are controlling this with strings or something..this is weird!

WOW! The KK box went in for a sucker punch.. the DD box started showing a little distress... I yelled out,"You guys gotta cut this out before one of you gets really crushed!"

The DD box rebounded like you wouldn't believe and popped the KK box right in the Trade Mark!
"Oh, no... you guys are destroying each other!

Who started this anyway?"

"HE DID... he called me a holey crumb bisquit!"

"Yeah...after HE called me a carpetbagging coffee soaker"

Ok...guys ... before you completely TRASH each other...I'm doing it for you...LOL!

PS..there was a winner in this match in my opinion but I'm partial to one so I won't reveal it just yet...Krispy Kreme or Duncan Doughnuts????
