Has it touched you?

It has touched me.
At 16, I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer. My maternal grandmother died at age 59 to lung cancer. My paternal grandmother had a double mastectomy due to breast cancer. My paternal grandfather suffered from melanoma.
CANCER: It has definitely touched my life in more ways than one, and that is why Relay for Life is so important to me.
Would my dad have been there to walk me down the aisle? My father and grandparents, there to see their little daughter and granddaughter finally say, "I do"? Would they see me graduate both high school and college, meet their grandchildren and great-grandchildren? Possibly, but that is in the past... and we cannot change that, but we can help change the future.
Join me in the fight against cancer as I participate in Shreveport's Relay for Life April 17th and 18th at Byrd high school. Just a small donation of $10.00 can save many lives and help us uncover new and exciting technology to rid the world of cancer.
Many of you have pledged $10.00 (and some more) and I thank you in advance. I will need to collect your donations by Friday, April 3rd. If you would like to participate, please feel free to donate a minimum of $10.00 cash or check (made out to the American Cancer Society). Donate today and help me reach my goal by visiting my personal page here:

Thank you again for making a difference.

Sincerely,
Hillary

Leann Rimes: "Affair" video

OK a picture can be misconstrued, but can this video? Pretty damaging stuff. I guess she could always say they were rehearsing for their movie, "Northern Lights". Then again, this could be a big publicity stunt, if so, that is really going low huh?

It may take a few seconds to load...be patient.

Leader of the pack???

So in my desperate attempt to keep our furry son, Willie, from biting and ripping not only my clothes but my body to shreds I went to the number one source for all information...THE INTERNET!
Here is the video I was telling you about on the air. This lady says I need to establish myself as a pack leader and by doing that, in turn, act like a dog...growling, baring my teeth, barking. And yes, for those of you who were not listening I tried it. What?!? I'm desperate.

Leann Rimes speaks

Leann Rimes is spalshed on the front cover of US Weekly for her alledged affair with co-star of her new flick "Northen Lights". Listen to her comment on the rumors.

Leann Rimes so blue?

Here is an alleged affair photo of Leann Rimes and her co-star of "Northern Lights" Eddie Cibrian. According to Us Weekly, Leann and Eddie snuck off for a "three-hour tryst" at a Malibu, California hotel where this fuzzy security photo was taken of them holding hands and kissing.

Leann has posted a message on her website:

"... I would like to assure all of you that this (website) is a place for you to hear things directly from me and, as you all know, not everything in our lives is always black and white. Have faith."

Now, I can understand how a photo can be misconstrued, but when you make a comment like that suggesting that there are gray areas, that doesn't look good. Why can't you say, "no we are just friends..no affair here." Is it a publicity thing? Or are you really cheating sistah'?

Leann's husband, Dean Sheremet seems to be fine. He was recently at home and twittering, "I love my wife!"

We'll see...stay tuned.

Back in the day...

So we were talking to Nashville Kat this morning and she mentioned that American Idol will be coming out with trading cards. (???) Yeah I'm not sure about that one...you can only tap the money well so much before it runs dry.

However, this reminded me of the only trading cards I ever collected as a kid....GARBAGE PAIL KIDS!!!! Remember these?

I couldn't get enough of these, and from what I remember the gum was pretty good too. However, I don't think parents would go for these so much anymore. Look at Nervous Rex...parents would have a hay-day! Yeah, I see that he is smoking and picking his nose, all while wearing a diaper, but he is a cartoon- devoid of any diseases.

I even had this card as a kid, but never did I say, " Man, I want to be like Nervous Rex and smoke, drink lots of coffee, and wear a diaper." Did you?

It's sad that these went out the window along with candy cigarettes, and now they have even edited Bugs Bunny cartoons to eliminate any smoking, drinking, etc.

I'm not a parent yet, (and maybe when the time comes I will change my tune) but I grew up with all of these things and turned out fine. (Right?)

If anything were to influence me it wasn't cartoons or candy it was my parents. I knew these things were bad for me and I shouldn't do them. Why? Becasue my parents told me so...not a drawing. I knew that Wyle E. Coyote could fall off a cliff and still live to pester the Road Runner another day, but if I attempted the same ACME sponsored stunt I would be taking a big dirt nap.

So why so PC parents? Don't you think we are sheltering kids a little too much these days? OK, off my soap box...someone else's turn.

A dear John e-mail...

So if you are insensitive enough to pull a Joe-Bro and break up with someone via e-mail/text but just can't find the words then this is for you.

It's http://www.breakupemail.com/. basically the website asks you a few questions, you answer and then Voila! They compose a quite humorous, yet mean spirited e-mail. you just copy, paste and send and then the deal is done.

I have taken the liberty to compose a sample for you below:

Dear So-and-So,
I'm writing you this email because I think our relationship has run its course. Do you realize that you're a total loser? You've changed too much since we met, and I don't like it. I can't believe how selfish you are. Relationships are supposed to be about sharing, jerk. Your arrogance seems to have no limits; it's as if you think you're
actually somebody. I know you'll probably tell everyone that you dumped me,
because you're a liar. But everyone knows that already, so they won't believe
you. I called the nursery school program, and they agreed to let you in after
they assessed your maturity level. You know, a little respect can go a long way.
But the amount of respect you give me is only enough for ME to go a long way. A
long way away from you, douchebag. And another thing: take a freakin shower! You
smell so bad that the garbage collectors wonder what the smell is when they come
down the street. Maybe part of the problem is that you drink so much. You can't
actually call gin-flakes or beerios breakfast. Why do you have to be so messy?
How hard is it to put your dirty underwear in the laundry machine and wash a few
dishes now and again? Frankly, you just don't care enough about me. Luckily I
care enough about me to make up for it, by saying goodbye to you. I can't
believe you forgot my birthday! Who does that? The fact that you forgot our
anniversary just confirms that it's time for "we" to become "me." It's not easy
to carry on a successful relationship with someone like you. And by that, I mean
someone who is downright stupid, you feebleminded dimwit. Oh yeah, I almost
forgot to point out that you're pure evil, a characteristic that most people do
NOT appreciate. You might want to work on that. I also really need more space, I
don't like feeling like an elephant in a telephone booth. I hope you understand.
The wise Righteous Brothers wrote a song called "You've lost that lovin'
feeling." You might want to listen to it a few times, because I've lost that
loving feeling.
Why do you spend so little money on me? Buying me a happy
meal at McDonald's does not count as taking me out to dinner. If you ever get
engaged, just remember that an onion ring is not a valid replacement for a
wedding ring. You're like cling wrap around me, but what you need to realize is
that I am not a vegetable and your clinginess is unbearable. Sometimes you need
to take things a bit slower, and just have fun. Unfortunately, this relationship
is becoming too serious for my tastes. And as if that wasn't enough, you have to
criticize me all the time! Now it's my turn to be the critic. I give you one
thumb up: stick it up your ass! All that nagging of yours worked, assuming your
intent was to get rid of me. At first I couldn't understand what smelled so bad
when I spent time with you, but now it's clear: you're spoiled like a piece of
meat left out in the sun. You don't live in a soap opera, so quit causing so
much drama. I'm not a puppet, you can't just control me by pulling on a string,
so why do you try to control everything I do? I need my freedom, and there's
nothing you can do about it. Another problem is that you're irresponsible, and I
just don't want to put up with the consequences of your decisions anymore. What
really breaks the deal is your horrible grammar. Srsly d00d, learn 2 rite a
sentance!
Sorry, but you're not even worth keeping as a friend. Why are you
so boring? I've seen rocks that are more interesting than you. I never want to
see you again, jerkface! Stay away from me or I'll beat you with a frozen
salmon. I think you get the idea: this relationship is over.
Yours truly,
Hillary

Never say never...

What is something you always said you would never do, but you did anyway? Traffic guy, Jeff Parker, joined us in studio today to answer this question.

QUICK! What's the number for 911???

I was under the impression that 911 was for real emergencies, i.e. wrecks, burglaries, medical conditions...not when a fast food chain gets your order wrong.

It amazes me how many morons who call 911 to report ridiculous non-emergencies. Check them out: http://www.911callers.com/ My favorites are the butterfly man and the Burger King wrong order.

Ah, the smell of freesia in the morning...

The Vatican claims the washing machine is the best invention of the 20th century because it liberates women...giving them more free time. So what liberates Derek?
