There are so many things I have heard over the years about raising my child and I know speaking to other people about their kids they repeat some of this stuff to me. So when I saw this article I felt I NEEDED to pass it on.

If you were to use the magic 8 ball it would say, "All signs point to yes".

According to ProFootballTalk.com, the Vikings have issued a four page statement with the last sentence being, “This solution must be finalized in the 2011 session.”

I think owner Zigi Wilf did the best he could with Favre mach 1. That was supposed to be the Super Bowl team that would make all of Minnesota force the lawmakers to give them a new stadium.

I love stories about kids doing good things. The stories you hear about kids these days are only about a few that spoil it for the many. This is a story about a Minnesota boy.

First of all I don't want to make this article a statement of whether God exists or anyone's beliefs. I found this to be interesting enough to post it up for curiosity. It is interesting, I answered the question and it was right

In this day and age of reading what's in food and buying healthier products, this was eye opening. I am reading the labels more and more. I used to be the guy that bought "Natural" or "Real Fruit Juices".

I'm comfortable enough to say I am a man that enjoys fashion. I don't always follow it, a fat guy in a mankini is sick, that's why. I do like to talk fashion and share it, so here is the hip new terms for fashion for men.

Mandals: Man + style = men's fashion math for beginner

Let me ask you this. If you were to tell me you were going to a Packers or Vikings football game, would you bring beverages with you to tail gate with? What would those beverages be? Yes, BEER!! So Tom Brady the New England quarterback mentioned people should get to the game early and drink a few, we knew what he meant. We don't drink no stinkin' water, we drink BEER!!

Well, Tommy Boy got in trouble and the Patriots are saying he meant drink water when he said "lube up". Yep, because it's gonna be a squelching hot 65 degrees. Enough to make anyone pass out with heat exhaustion.  We are not stupid, no self respecting football fan is going to sue, they were going to do it anyway. Here's the story.

Ever wonder what the stars do to get beautiful hair, or lashes or clean complexion? Well, CMT sat dow with Carrie Underwood to get some of her secrets.
Yes, Carrie was born with great eyelashes. They are naturally thick and look false. Yet, she still likes to compliment them. How does she do this? She does it simply by adding mascara to them. She admits that she has been known to apply as many as four coats of mascara in one day. What kind of mascara would Carrie use? She may possibly chose one that has a built in voluminzing power, such as L'Oreal Volumininous Milllion Lashes Mascara Black, $7.00, at Walmart.

I was living in Nashville, and at the Bluebird Cafe, when this nerdy guy in a George Strait look-a-like get-up sits down and talks about how much he likes George. We were not interested at that point, everyone likes George. Then he sang, nope, nothing there, sounds too much like George. So, we got up and left.

6 months or so later I was working at Tower Records when Garth's CD came out and I was putting them on the shelf. I thought he looked like the guy we walked out on, so I figured he wouldn't last long. During Fan Fair, what it used to be called, we had the chance to get Garth in live to perform with just a guitar. He was a little afraid to perform in so intimate of a setting with not much for sound gear. He came out and sang "The Dance", I thought,

Slamabama, who play in the area quite a bit (at Ropers thru 8/20/11), won a battle of the bands through Briggs and Stratton. I featured them on my midday show pleading for you to vote. You did and they won, now I'd like you to enjoy the video that they made..

I knew when I saw the images and videos of the stage falling it was bad, then I wondered what band it was that was supposed to play and why they weren't hurt.

It came down to seconds and one instinctive decision that may have saved the lives of country duo Sugarland and others at the Indiana State Fair where five people died when a stage collapsed.

So are they or aren't they. Denzel Washington said in "Philadelphia", something about people want to know who's sleeping with whom. Is it that important for muppets? I know Sesame Street teaches kids about things going on in the world, but should they tackle something as controversial as this?
A petition started by Lair Scott, exhorts the makers of Sesame Street to let the two old friends get hitched. Gay marriage became legal in New York this June, increasing the number of states in the country to do so to six.

The petition letter reads:
