Even more Top Bananas


Lemme tell you, there have been some tired delivery workers coming to Rittman, Ohio and by the looks of things, I think next year there will be even more awards to hand out. I may have to change my venue as the audience will be even larger. Here are some more awards.

The I like Bagpipes Top Banana goes to Michelle, of Crow's Feet fame. Michelle comes to us from Scotland, but is a native of South Africa. Michelle to me is one of the best advantages of having the internet, as we communicate by email quite often. It's great having friends I can communicate with in other continents.

The Press 1 For English Top Banana goes to Amelia, of Amel's Realm fame. Amel moved from Indonesia to Finland to get married and is now getting very used to her new home. She is learning Finnish, but still likes to communicate to all her English speaking friends.

The Cathode Ray Tube Top Banana goes to Tim, of Cleveland Classic Media fame. Tim is one of my friends who followed me from the message boards to be one of the original readers of this blog. Tim then started his own blog, dedicated to Cleveland area media from the 1940's to 1980's. He also has some posts of national interest. I always say that Tim does too good a job on his blog not to get paid for it.

The It's Not a CMA Award, But What the Heck Top Banana goes to Scott Wynn, of Scott Wynn's Window fame. Scott is one half of the morning show on country station WQMX/94.9 Akron, Ohio. Scott reviews movies on his blog and has written some pretty good stories.

The I've Seen you on the message boards, but I still like you Top Banana goes to Sue Wilson, of Sue Wilson's Voice Over fame. Sue is the better looking half of the WQMX morning show. She is also the program director there. Sue is one of the most liked radio personalities in our area. She's also been very nice to me and always returns my emails. Her blog gives her views on everyday life, sometimes telling aboutr her experiences at the station.

The Hills Are Alive Top Banana goes to Kathy, of Kathy's Klavier fame. Kathy is a musician in her own right and her son plays drums in a Christian band called a Plea For Purging. Her latest post is about a CD she is recording.

The Ups and Downs Top Banana goes to Sindi of Life is a Roller Coaster fame. Sindi is a very good friend who does a good job at it. I think she is the anchor of the Terre Haute gang.

The Richard Simmons, eat your heart out Top Banana goes to Stacy, of My Thoughts fame. Stacy has spent the past 6 months working on a lifestyle change and has lost a great deal of weight. Go on over to her blog and give her some encouragement.

The Being a loser isn't a bad thing Top Banana goes to Diamond, of A Day in the Zone fame. Diamond works hard to look up some good hints to help with weight loss and she also gives us a view of her life.

The Eyes in Texas Used to be in Ohio Top Banana goes to Don, of Things That Run Through My Mind fame. Don is a former Buckeye Baby Boomer, but now lives in Texas. He checks in often to see what's happening near his old stomping grounds.

The Sometimes you can't judge the package by the label Top Banana goes to Cathouse Teri, of The Road Lester Travelled fame. I met Teri through Liquid and we sometimes will tease each other. She has a hard exterior, but a heart of gold. Teri first started dialogue with me on my Seek Him First blog, which blew me away at first. But I could see that she has some very solid views of faith.

Now concludes the regular portion of the Top Bananas. My next post will be a special presentation and induction into the WIXY's Top Bananas Hall of Fame.

Oral appliances are a type of treatment for sleep apnea that can be worn during sleep to help keep the airway open. These devices are designed to fit in the mouth and are often used in combination with other treatments such as lifestyle changes and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy.

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...
