Too much sugar........

As a diabetic, I know the dangers of too much sugar inside me. And after raising 3-1/2 kids and now having three grandkids, I know that too much sugar ON you can't be a good thing either, especially on a big candy holiday.

We had the grandchildren over today and had them all an Easter basket apiece, along with some extra candy. In the past several years, one of the biggest faves here at the WIXYranch are Peeps.

As I was getting redy to take the little ones home, I had put all the baskets and candy in the front seat. All three had asked for some peeps. I sent the packages to the oldest two, but only sent two peeps to Silas, the youngest.

What I didn't know as I was driving, Silas had gotten hold of some of his sister's peeps, then fell asleep. When I finally got them home, I got oiut of the car, looked into the back seat, and saw, what looked like pink and white gloves on Silas' hand.

Silas is one who loves a good photo op, and he loved it when I got out the WIXY-at&tVideoPhonecam(tm). His mother loved it too. but I'm not allowed to get him peeps again anytime soon.

I hope everyone had a blessed Easter.

The worst part was as I was busy with the other two and he went to clean himself. Instead of soap and water, the lil chap decided toilet paper was the best option. Poor kid comes back outside looking quite mummy-like.

But, it all came out easily enough :)

And, no, no more peeps this year and especially, no unsupervised peeps.

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?
