Banned

Update: As of 6:00pm I have my privileges back. I thank everyone for all their concerns.

Funny how somethings come about. As most of my Northeast Ohio readers know, this blog come about from my semi serious posts on the area message boards, most notably at Cleveland.com.

At the time of this writing, my privileges at cleveland.com have been at least suspended, if not revoked. This is a result of some postings I did on the pro wrestling board. Some were serious, others were nonsense. BizDecision and JimOhio also posted on that board, aligning themselves with me. Jim's privileges were revoked also.

I had posted a message on several boards after I found out about Jim, explaining how unfair some of the practices at the forums were, and how Jim's posts were not as nasty as some who post perverted messages and still have the privileges.

It's just another example of how unfair life can be.

For now I will be posting over at the national boards.

Posting at the national boards?

Now, WIXY, no need to self-flagellate at Mom's site simply because some dullard at the PD site and kept you out.

I mean, I wouldn't wish posting at R-I on my worst enemy.

Welcome back. The temporary ban wasn't warranted. Someone has some serious problems for going as far as getting you banned.

Sorry you had to go through all that at the PD Forums..Stuff like that is why I almost never post there anymore except at the Pro Hockey Forum..

A littler something I thought might cheer you (and others) up during this heat wave: I found a complete Christmas Eve 6PM Newscast from 1977 on WJKW-TV 8 Cleveland. This is the entire Newscast in one file..Lots of the Classic TV 8 names are there..I hope all enjoy it..

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

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The game was
