Mother-In-Law

August 1, 2007

Did you hear the one about the guy's Mother-in-law ?   

There are many jokes about nasty In-Laws.  I was lucky in that department.  My mother-in-law Mary Kush was a sweetheart.  She died recently, and all who knew her  will miss her terribly.   

She suffered many heartaches, but remained a loving cheerful human being.  As a child her little sister fell down a well on the family farm in Ontario.  Mary never got over it; she felt  that somehow she should have kept an eye on her sister.  Mary was 5 at the time.  

Her father and brother were killed in a dynamite accident.   Her husband suffering from alzheimers disease took his own life.  Her son Al,  a doctor, died in a car wreck.  Tragedy after tragedy never really changed her.  Always smiling; never judgemental.  

I hope some of her rubs off on me.  I will have a daily reminder of Mary....my wife Karen looks just like her.

     
 
1AM Chainsaws
I drew the wrath of listeners when I complained about the tree company
chain-sawing in the middle of the night. 
Mary, A little Lamm and the Spider
Some of the hardest working people at this radio station are NOT heard over the airwaves.

Teen Pregnancies - Vigilantes And The Steelers
Well - the photos are at the supermarket; OK, magazines pay a bundle for the rights.
Turn It Down!
I'm convinced that some TV commercials "jack up the volume."
Too Many Doctors in the House
Does it seem to you there's an explosion in the number of doctors?

Basketball pundits, preachers, psychologists, there's even a lawn care guy with a Ph.D. and he wants to be called "Doctor."
Preparing for Fred Beach
Ahhh,  Welcome! Spring.  

I can't wait to hit Fred Beach.  

I need a rest; listeners have been tough lately.
Pam Cook Celebrates 19 Years with WHBC
Ah...local radio!  Today I celebrate 19 years with WHBC radio. 
Hardly seems possible. 

Kenny Konz-#1 Draft Pick in 1951
Kenny Konz of Alliance passed away at Alliance Hospital.  He was 79.  
He was a Vet, and a loving husband and father.  He was also number 22.
Kenny was the Cleveland Browns' number one draft pick in 1951.
I'd like to get a weight off my chest....
And the rest of me!  Actually, over the past year I've done just that.  Since January of last year I've lost 55 pounds.
Viktor Schreckengost didn't make the celebrity Obit list, but he should have.

In the world of art, ceramic art and design, he was a Super Star, and from little ole Sebring, Ohio.
Steeler fan Pam makes case for the Browns
Okay, I know most of you are not going to believe this but . . .

I am actually really mad that Cleveland Brown's offensive lineman Joe Thomas
did not win the NFL "Rookie of the Year" award.
Happy New Year
All is well at our house.
We hope you, too, are enjoying the holidays.
Caribbean Cruise 2007
It's hard to believe we are home already from our Caribbean cruise.  It seems like we planned and planned, packed and packed and now it is over in a flash.
When to report and when to just sit on a story
The Omaha shooter wanted to go out with his photo on front pages around the world. 

He got his wish. 
The CRUISE!
Oh, how appropriate it is that we got our first snowfall of the season
just days before Fred and I are to head off to the Caribbean.
Strawberry Pretzel Jello Salad
During our weekly visit with Saimi Bergmann from The Repository
on Wednesday, November 28, 2007, we talked about a traditional holiday dish
at my house called Jello Pretzel Salad.  It is very popular and we all love it.
Hey GUYS! Get sHOPPING!
The biggest shopping day of the year has come and gone...so what are you getting your lady for Christmas??

One of my pet peeves when it comes to gift buying and men is their decision to head out at the last minute and just "pick up some jewelry or something."
Thanksgiving has passed . . .

I'm left feeling..a bit uncomfortable.  
OH
don't get me wrong.  We had family and a great time. 
The dinner table was overflowing.

Written by Fred OR a Scam Post
Karen's in the Kitchen working on the feast with family friend, Mark Brandon.  
He's a cook . . .  a good one, too. 
Halloween At MY House
I worried about the candy....is two tons enough?
Actually I bought too much this time.
We had a bit left over. 
Pam Cooks...
I grew up with a Grandmother who ... was the first woman manager of Stouffer’s Restaurants ... what you don't know is I LOVE TO COOK, TOO!
Odds and Ends
At this writing Sam, our Sports Director, was out with a Tummy Ache.  Actually its more serious than that.  So I hope we have him back soon...
Fred Goes to Florida Part 2
I've vented, almost, about the bad parts of Miami. But here are a few of the good points.  I may still share a bad story.
Fred Goes to Florida
Notes on our latest trip to Florida.   Part 1   What I like about Miami:  More on all that later.  But I'm Mad as Hell about the transition of Miami to a foreign country.  
A Mom's Trek
There are days when being a mother can be one of the most trying times of your life, but in the end, as most you know, it is all worth it.  I am starting to see firsthand (yet again) the rewards of motherhood.
