November 19, 2012 As a life-long "foodie", I end up being the person a lot of my friends and co-workers come to with their food-related questions. With the holidays just around the corner, I'm starting to get questions specifically about turkey.
November 19, 2012 With the Holiday Season almost here, i thought I'd share a tradition I celebrate each Thanksgiving. Having a good bit of English blood in me, I tend to go for the plum pudding, blood pudding, cakes and so forth. However, and absolute must on Thanksgiving is mince pie.
November 19, 2012 My wife's family has a little group that heads out on Black Friday and buys deals and sales at stores in the area. I found this website that shows you ads early, and in some cases will let you print coupons.
November 15, 2012 Have you been to Bentleyville? It opens up officially on Friday, Parade day. Do you have some great shots of the Tour Of Lights? Send it in and you could win a prize. I love taking pictures at Bentleyville because everyone is happy and the lights add and extra feature to the picture.
November 13, 2012 As the Christmas City of the North Parade approaches this Friday, I got to wondering about the history
November 12, 2012 With Thanksgiving and Black Friday right around the corner, I decided to find out how exactly Black Friday got it's name. The term "Black Friday" wasn't used heavily until the mid 1960's. Some say the the term originated because retailers finally moved out of the red and into the black. Most agree this is not true.
November 8, 2012 Holiday shopping is right around the corner, and some are in dread of the event. With large crowds, impulse buying, and limited sale merchandise, many opt for internet shopping. For those who prefer to shop "in store," there are great deals to be had now because inventory is plentiful, the stores are less crowded and your stress level isn’t so high you’ll be making bad decisions.
August 15, 2012 Back in the olden days (the 80's) when you traveled, you could depend on locals to give directions, help with the language and so on. Now, not so much. So, to be safe, here are some things not to say.
KOOL 101.7 and Santa are teaming up to give you a chance to get on the 'Nice List" so you can join us for our Christmas Party at Grandma's Sports Garden on August 8th, once there you and a guest will have a chance to win over $3,000 in presents that will be under the tree.
July 2, 2012 As we get set to celebrate another American birthday on July 4th, I ran across something to share with you. If you have a flag, I'm sure you'll put it up for the fourth, but how do you properly put it away?
April 24, 2012 I think people are getting back to basics, and that's a good thing. Mothers Day to me is a more "traditional" holiday if you will. Tech gifts might have been more appropriate for Christmas or birthdays is my guess.
Plan on giving a tablet, smartphone or other tech device on Mother's Day? Consider yourself in the minority.
A survey from online shopping site PriceGrabber finds only 13% of consumers said they would buy a tech-related item as a gift for Mother's Day.
