Blogging Star Award


The Blogging Star award was created just this week, by a blogger I have mentioned a short time ago, Skittles. I checked out her blog, Skittles Place after she left a comment here. Skittles keeps an upbeat attitude in spite of the struggles she has faced in life. She celebrated her first anniversary as a blogger last week and a few days before that she celebrated post number 2000. I'm a few posts away from 300.

Anyway the award got around and I was awarded it by Mel Kaye. Mr. Monday Morning Power himself. He asked those who were awarded this honor to spread the love and award this to those whose blogs have touched us in a special way....So...In no special order...

The first blogging star goes to Cleveland Classic Media. Tim does a great job in turning a hobby of his into a great source of information for us Cleveland radio and tv fans.

Next blogging star goes to Ohio Media Watch, our eyes and ears that catches what's happening for those of us that want to know about our favorite media outlets in Ohio.

Now I award this one to Media Matters. Struke uses this blog as a teaching tool for his students.

Northeast Ohio Radio Report gets this one for two reasons: First they show a lot of guts not censoring their comments, and second, they have a link to this blog there.

Once again keeping it local University of Akron Zips blog gets a nod as I have some of those alumni who read this page.

Now leaving the area to award these: First star goes to Pilgrim's Scrawl. Show this off to Virtue, but not during House. Oh, and he lives in New Brunswick.

Being Steve is next on my list, even though he is a Steeler's fan. Just do me a favor. Do something so we can make comments on your blog.

Liquid was awarded the Blogging Star on the same post as I, but because it was either ladies before gentlemen, but more than likely he was awarding the blogs in alphabetical order. Anyway, Liquid, make room in your trophy case for this one. I award my last blogging star to Liquid Illuzion, a blog becoming more and more popular in the Buckeye State.

Now I ask of you the same thing that was asked of me, Spread the Love and award the blogs that impact you the most.

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...

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...
