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...

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...
