Better than I deserve

From Financial Peace Plaza, It's the Dave Ramsey Show, where debt is dumb, cash is king and the paid off home mortgage has replaced the BMW, as the status symbol of chioce.


Like many folks, I miss listening to Dave Ramsey live on the radio. I have listened to his show a couple of times on the live stream, but since I get home from work about 4:30 at the earliest, that is not an option. When I heard that he was leaving the airwaves at the local Salem station, WHKW, I downloaded itunes onto my home computer and the Dave Ramsey show was the first free podcast I subscribed to.

I wasn't the only one to subscribe to this podcast, as this show is the most popular download under the business catagory. I have burned several cd's of this program and it's played alot in three offices at the shop. Now with my new mp3 player, I 've been able to carry the show in my pocket. I've once heard that you have to read something six times to get the full educational value out of it, and with modern technology, you can hear his show all you want, be it once, or dozens of times.

Dave is very entertaining. I enjoy hearing him giving people his sage advice on how to get out of debt. I would love to call him some day and scream, "I'm debt free!" I think people need to hear his very simple advice.

As everybody that reads this blog is well aware, I live in Rittman, population 6300. The sad statistic about this town is that we have four payday loan places. Whats wrong with that picture? What we need here(put the name of your town here) is people to" live like nobody else, so later you can live like nobody else." We need several places to host Financial Peace University, Dave's 13 week course, teaching you to be responsible with your money.

I also need more people to recognize when I say that " I'm better that I deserve" that I ripped that off from the Dave Ramsey show.

I miss DR as well. He came on just as I was coming out of work driving down the Big 83. DR has many thoughtful moments on the air.

WHEN WILL HE BE BACK ON THE AIR IN CLEVELAND?!?!?!?

I would love to see him face off with Triv. Wash his mouth out with soap! And that CliffClavin too!

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

My job

I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
