I like Brenda because.........

Those who have followed this blog for the past 1-1/2 years know that Brenda is one of my personal friends and one who has followed this blog from the beginning. She is also a long time (former) face of the World's Greatest Band Boosters(tm). Brenda is a good friend to have around. She puts a smile on my face and is quick to give me a quick constructive comment in regards to my blogging.

Those who read my blog in December, 2007 were introduced to Brenda as I presented her with an off blog friend award. The reason I did this was that I was having a bad day a few prior to that one and unloaded in an email to her. I thought for sure when I hit the send button that I was going to lose one of my best friends. Brenda then showed how good a friend she was when she sent back a very well thought reply. I then had to tell the blogosphere what a good person she was.

Brenda also would frequently go to the other blogs on my list and leave anonymous comments. All during this time I would tell her that she should write a blog of her own. After ideas were bounced my way on what the content would be, Brenda come up with the name Snicker Snicker Snort. I checked on the web address to find if it was available and it was. Brenda claimed it and the rest is history.

Snicker*Snicker*Snort is a chronicle of Brenda's life and her family, which she very proud of. We have also read about her view of the past American Idol season, among other issues of culture. We also get an occasional Wednesday Whining and are introduced to other friends of hers.

Check it out as she is a very gracious hostess.

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...
