Re: Pure joy!

I also remember where I was - at a friend's house in Raleigh.

I miss Brad Daugherty on the air.

Re: Weather Check!

I am going to be so disappointed if it doesn't snow here. 60% chance, and it's looking like snow soon - schools are on 2 hour early release.

Colchar and other Allman fans . . .

Here's a chance to listen to Gregg Allman's new album, Low Country Bluesfor free to decide whether to buy it.

I haven't listened to it, but immediately thought of Colchar.

My older sister says she remembers that day - she was nearly five and remembers Mom crying.

Speaking of hair, are you celebrating Movember? It's quite big in Canada, where nearly $10M has been raised for prostate and testicular cancer research. Plus, the 18th is coming up!

This was my first thought - you beat me to it.

Traffic attorney in Los Angeles?

I have a client that got a citation from a Highway Patrol officer for an illegal right turn on red in Los Angeles County, in Los Angeles, California. Her hearing is tomorrow, naturally, and she wants to talk with a lawyer.

Can anyone here give me a recommendation?

Re: Gadgets Sold on TV

My criterion is simple: does it perform as advertised and does it get used regularly? Tie for Best: 1. Worx GT edger/trimmer is pretty good for a battery operated edger. We have a small yard, and my wife bought it for her to edge/trim with because the gas powered one I prefer is too heavy for her an...

Re: Having Fun with Songs by Making Your Own Lyrics

I enjoy doing this. For instance, instead of singing, "God bless Texas," I enjoy singing, "God bless Chex Mix." Try it. It is fun! Also, it is fun to replace the word "you" in a song with another word that rhymes with it.....such as "shoes." So suddenly you get lyrics like... "I'm saving all my lov...

Re: Never seen it, never will

Why not the Hurt Locker? I cannot handle war movies any more, especially after seeing my brother return from two tours in Iraq. I feel the same way about them as I do with flicks like "Terms of Endearment". Those movies tend to affect me for longer after I've seen them. There is enough pain and tra...

Re: Advice needed

Sorry about the interview. Better luck next time! I couldn't just let this go: Socks should match the shoes. So, if you're wearing brown shoes, wear brown socks that match the shoes. Black shoes get black socks. White sneakers get white socks. The idea is to create a monochromatic line from shoes to...

He has been and will be greatly missed. Corrected.

Max would come down and chat with the old timers (Jack and Ray) down there a...

This is waaaay too late for Lavabe's trip, but I love the book Confucius Lives Next Door: What Living in the East Teaches Us About Living in the West by T.R. Reid. It's an entertaining read that also makes you think. Not an academic work or comprehensive study - it's more like a memoir with some adv...

Re: McDonald's burgers suck

I find it amusing that Hardee's and Carl's Jr. scored differently. Well...they are different. Carl's builds theirs with barbeque sauce and an onion ring that even if removed, has flavor strong enough to burn through the sauce and the senses for decades yet to come. You got one of the Western Bacon ...

Were the Skins uniforms different last night, or were they always that ugly? They seemed extra burgandy and mustardy looking. They decided to revive the uniforms of the hay day in the 80s a little bit. I liked it. On HD they looked gold. :D @};- 80s? Here's Pro Football Hall of Fame member and Duke...
