FOX35News-Mornings's Blog

I'd like to know why Little Christine was petting an alligator yesterday and Big Jim wouldn't go out for a shot with the bear?

And an hour after it leaves doesn't count! LOL

What ever happened to casual Firday? I know we have Hawaiian shirt day on Friday where I work. As relaxed as the morning team is on Fox... shouldn't there be a casual Friday?

I want Idol to be over!

I agree with watcher... I was hoping for a bear wrasslin' segment... tag team... Big Jim and Terrific Tom vs. the Lake Mary Bear.

Is Idol over yet?

Go Magic! Let's head back to Detroit 2-2.

The people we elect to run the country just don't get it -- a tax freeze on gasoline, if we save it for the 3 months it will be in effect, won't even buy a full tank AFTER the freeze expires.

It's called "profiteering" which is supposed to be illegal in this country. The rising price of crude is a MINISCULE factor in the rise of gasoline prices. There's no other way to look at it. AFTER EXPENSES are met, you have PROFIT .... and the oil companies continue to post RECORD profits quarter after quarter after quarter. At a time when the average (less than 70k/yr) worker is struggling to put gas in the car to go work, and pay the higher prices for everything that is transported by ship, plane, rail or truck.

And our "leaders" just don't get it. Too busy smirking at their stock portfolios with all those shares of oil company stock in them, I guess. Well, when America's blue collar workers can't get to work because they can't afford the gasoline necessary to get there, the GDP will grind to a sudden halt and all those stocks willl be WORTHLESS.

What's on my mind? Hoping that I win the $100 gas card! Of course, I think the prize should be doubled today for those of us who noted the way that Fox spelled KEROSENE (correct spelling) was incorrect. Fox spelling: KEROSINE. Spell check anyone?? :-)

The atrocities normal, hardworking, everyday American families are having to suffer due to the rising cost of gas and food prices. I know some families who are eating nothing but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, hot dogs, and macaroni and cheese, day after day, week after week, because it's all they can afford to feed their families. I'm referring to a few families specifically, who also have the added expenses of diapers, daycare and prescription needs. Many of our area food pantries are either empty, or getting there. I've been saying for sometime, "Ordinary people are turning into common thieves because they would rather steal, than see their families do without!"

What I am trying to understand is why in the world the Magic is suddenly getting so much airtime? Yesterday you couldn't go 5 minutes without talking about them and promoting them. Can you say bandwagon??

Meanwhile I have a very newsworthy story that I am trying to get on air for the last couple of years that affects 1 in every 8 people out there.....they just don't know it!! I am told that my story is "just not the right time".....I don't understand what is and is not newsworthy anymore??

Times are tough.
On one blog the conversation was about single mothers working the system.
I think if a single mother has to provide for children, then she has to do what she has to do.
If she has to work the system, or even steal to feed her children, then she just has to do it.
I don't like it, you don't like it, she doesn't like it, and when her children understand it, they won't like it.
When she gets a criminal record, DCF will have to take her children and she will have to go to prison, instead of corrupt politicians and oil barons that caused the problem.

All wild animals are unpredictable. Don't trust the bear will run. It might think it's cornered and fight for it's life.

Years ago, my Granddaddy was taking a picture of a black bear in Georgia. The bear was not cornered, but went after him. My Granddaddy threw his camera and jumped in the car.

Not meaning to sound like a smart-a**. but as a relative newbie around these parts, I have to ask...

Aren't ALL blogs pretty much opened to whatever is on our minds - 24 hours/day - every day?

Sarge, I feel your pain. I'll bet that I drive more than you do (I do 400-500 miles/week and that's not counting what the wife drives). It stinks. But it's called "SUPPLY & DEMAND"; the basic law of economics and capitalism.

Hey, FloydFreak,

I was going to say "don't worry about being a newbie", but I see you have been a member since July 2006!! Way to go!!

Although the blogs are open 24/7, this "special" blog is done every Friday.

It is fun because you never know if your comment will be read on air!

You may become famous after that!! - ROFLOL

Alexis...there you are..you know....I thought something was wrong..you didn't look like your cheerful self this morning...oh baby...hope you are feeling better.

TO ALL OF YOU..AGAIN, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY. I thought it was so incredibly thoughtful that Heidi and Lauren shared their childhood pictures...

OMG..HEIDI......no that was not your mom THAT WAS YOUR TWIN? RIGHT..

and what's on my mind; my mother..I missed her dearly..and more so this year..don't know why I usually light candles and do a little prayer and I am good but I guess just looking around and seeing everyone else with their moms and then Jim's post..I am just heartfilled with an emptiness this year..I WANT MY MOMMY!!!!..lol

Geeze I feel left out here...but by Friday my mind is so fried that I am lucky if I remember who I am. Maybe you should consider making it "whats on your mind Monday" when braincells are actually functioning again.....hey look...over there...something shiney!!!

(wanders off in a state of confusion)

Happy Friday. Whats on my mind? The fact that My new born daughter was born on Monday. WooHoo. and Guess what? she is a night owl. PRAY for a brother.. LOL

And FloydFreak, as a newbie, welcome to the forum, we may gripe and complain back and forth a lot, but we really are harmless and mean well. And how painful that must be to have to drive so many miles. I feel your pain.

I'm tired of having to swipe my debit card twice to fill up my gas tank. The price of gas has increased so much it takes most people I know more than 50.00 to fill up there tanks. This means swiping your check/debit/credit card, fueling up, and ending the transaction replacing the fuel nozzel and start over. You would think they would raise the amount from 50.00 to 75.00 or 100.00 for the convenience of there customers
