Alone Together

This is a great article written by my husband!  All is true...

Alone together: Our very first smartphone argument.

Well, It Has Been Along Time....

It has been at least six months since my last posting.  I guess I'd better start updating again.  While typing this, we are watching the new Harry Potter dvd that came out yesterday. It is such a great movie!

More later..it is getting towards the end!

Pet Peeves

• Drivers who do not use their turn signal when making turns
• Ladies who do not clean the toilet area in the rest room for the next person. (Check the toilet - we don't want to sit or look at your "stuff".)
• Being late.
• Crumbs and schmutz on counters.
• Typos.

News 8 Daybreak Scroll - updates

When watching the news this morning, WFAA News 8 Daybreak did not run the news scroll this morning. Wonder if I had anything to do with it?

Tuesday, July 20
They did have the scroll on this morning. One grammatical error (which was fixed) and one had and question mark after a word. Did not notify them. It seems to be that the errors are on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Thursday, July 22
The news program did not have the scoll on early this morning, but had it on later in the program. The typo this morning was on the bottom header of a particular health news report. The word that was incorrect was "rebab" instead of "rehab".
I e-mailed the executive producer and did not hear from him. I saw the news story again on the noon telecast and I sent him the incorrect typo! The typo I sent was "rebah" and should have been "rebab". Oh, well. The executive producer must have the day off.

Daybreak

I watch News 8 Daybreak in the morning when getting ready to go to work. I am probably one of those rare people who read the news scrolls on the bottom of the TV screeen.

On Tuesday morning while reading the scroll, I noticed two typos. After about an hour of watching the news program and thinking someone at the station would find the errors, I contacted the station via their Facebook page. Here is the conversation:

Fran DeWysockieNews 8 Daybreak: Who proofs the scrolls on the bottom of the screen? Check out the last three words of the "Garlington Lane" fire and the "K2" story (K@).

Fran, It is "Garlington Lane". But thanks for the heads up on the K@, we're fixing that now.

The last sentence states that " no was was injuried" and should be "no one was injured"

It is great to know that television stations listen to their viewers! I love their morning newscast and only want the best for them.

Toffee

May 1, 2010 was one of the most difficult days in my life. That was the day that we had to put our sweet, lovable Toffee down.

About two years ago, Toffee started to get a growth on his backend. It had grown steadily since then. When we took him to the vet to have it checked out, he suggested that it be removed. Since Toffee is an older dog, we decided not to have it removed.

On Thursday, April 22, he started to bleed from a growth. We took him to the vet on Friday for him to exam it. It was not good. We decided at that time to make Toffee's life as comfortable as possible.

The mass started to get worse, so we decided to have him put down one week later. Needless to say, Toffee got extra treats, was spoiled more rotten than he has been. Saying goodbye to him everyday, many tears, memories flowing, knowing that he was loved by all of us, made the time with him special.

We had the most wonderful three years with Toffee. We are so glad that Karen brought him home from the Humane Society in March 2007. She misses him so much. So do we.

Milestone Birthday

Today is a milestone day for the first boy I fell in love with. He is now 60. This relationship has lasted 40 years. If he only knew...

Happy Birthday!
