Swine flu got you down?

Take two and call me in the morning

Swine flu isn't new....

Swine flu isn't anything new. Check out this PSA the government aired in the 70s urging people to get their swine flu shots.

Monday Morning Mailbag...

This mornings e-mail poses this question: Do you have something that you sleep with every night? An old baby-blanket, night-light, or in my case a pound puppy named Brutus?

Well, Emily of Shreveport has a 23-year-old boyfriend that can't go to sleep unless he has his baby blanket with him. Emily doesn't like this and wants to know if she should break up with him. What would you do?

Someone called in and said that is not so bad, she knows a woman in her sixties that still sleeps with a pacifier in her mouth! Now that is strange to me, but she might think Brutus isn't too cool.

What do you think?

Cover Girl

Faith Hill is gracing the May issue of Redbook with her presence...well...sort of.
Actually, she's THREE different cover girls.
Each will feature Faith made up to look like some of history's iconic blondes: Bridgette Bardot, Grace Kelly, and Twiggy.

I invented Post-Its....

Andrea Wachner had her 10-year reunion coming up and she wanted to make a splash. So did she lose weight? NO! Reconstructive surgery? NO! Tell everyone she invented post-its? NO!

She hired a pole dancer to impersonate her.

Yep, Andrea asked Cricket, an exotic dancer, to stand in for her at the 10-year shin-dig, and tell people that she had reconstructive surgery and suffered from amnesia. Now this story wasn't completely unbelievable because some of her former classmates heard that after high school Andrea was in a horrific car accident.

Cricket aka "Andrea" said she was working as a dancer to help pay for her graduate school tuition.

Well at least she found a good use for her graduation tassel!

GA-ROSS!

Ok, you know when somethings are so nasty you just can't help, but look? Well this is one of those situations....look!

Ok now that the gagging has stopped...you pose the question what is that? Well let me explain:

Recently, 28-year-old Artyom Sidorkin of Izhevsk, Russia (--in the western part of the country), started having chest pains. Then last week . . . after he began coughing up blood . . . Artyom decided he'd better go to the hospital.
When Artyom's doctors took an X-ray, they found what appeared to be a tumor inside his lungs. But when they cut Artyom open to biopsy the tissue . . . they found something completely unexpected. What was it?
Somehow, a TWO-INCH FIR TREE had sprouted inside Artyom's lungs!
According to Artyom's doctor, quote, "I blinked three times, and thought I was seeing things."
I know what you're thinking: How exactly does a fir tree grow inside someone's lungs?
Well, Artyom's doctors aren't really sure. But the working theory is that Artyom must have inhaled a small bud . . . which took hold inside his lungs and started to grow. (Fox News / MosNews)

Memories....

When you think of Easter, what are some of your childhood memories? Mine? My sisters and I in matching bubble outfits equipped with bow, curled box-bangs with lots of hairspray and a burn mark on my forehead form the curling iron because I was squirming and crying when my mother was curling them. You?
