What can happen when you
spend too much time at work? You start sounding like that annoying
jargonmeister from corporate all the time...even when you're
talking to the dog.
Weekend: 10.27-28-29
Thanks to everybody who
inquired after Mr. J's condition following his concussion. Yes, he has a
fat lip and a black eye and a concussion. No, you can't see pictures.
Lots of neat information
about your neighborhood, in helpful map form, at
www.neighboroo.com.
Okay, so the kids are about
to go scoop up mountains of candy for Halloween, and you've got to be
the gatekeeper so they don't go and eat all 107 Zagnut bars at one
sitting - now, some ideas on how to
deal with the candy deluge.
Tuesday 10.24
From earlier this morning,
here's an example of those hideous (and hideously expensive) purses we
were talking about. The purse is on the left:
We'd scream, too - the price tag on that
purse is $1095. More nasty purses available by
clicking here.

Happy first birthday,
Daniel Patrick Jones!

get by the somewhat uncomfortable name of
Shooting
The Kids and learn.
Weekend 10.13-14-15
Many thanks to everybody who
made suggestions for "What Were We Thinkin'" Day. The next one is coming
up Friday, April 13, 2007.
Thursday 10.12
How to carve
awesome pumpkins for Halloween.
Don't forget - get those
What Were We Thinkin'? picks in to use today...drop us an email at
morningmix@mix97fm.com soon,
or Mr. J won't have time to fish out those gems from his garage.
Wednesday 10.11
Not much time left before
"What Were We Thinkin'? Friday". Send us your guilty musical
pleasures, those songs you totally loved when you were younger, but now
- well, there's a reason they don't get played much on the radio. Thanks
to the anonymous (so far) listeners who sent us suggestions for
"Undercover Angel" from Alan O'Day, for "Could It Be Magic" from Barry
Manilow, "Pop Muzik" from M, and way too much from 80's bands with
ridiculous hair. Get your picks in now, by emailing us at
morningmix@mix97fm.com, or
call us in the morning at 845.454.9770!
Tuesday 10.10
More parental advice for Mr.
Jones to experiment with:
7 Ways To Defuse A Child's Tantrum. If they work on Miller, Mr. J
will try them out on Maria and Daniel.
Monday 10.9
Coming up on Friday the 13th
it's another "What Were We Thinkin'?" day at the Morning Mix.
That's where we pull out all the music you thought was the greatest
thing going back when you and your friends bought it - but now, you
cringe, and you wonder if you really did throw that Shaun Cassidy record
away, or if your children will find it and ridicule you. Somebody
made New Kids on the Block huge. Same for Falco.
T'Pau fans, this is your day. Are you feelin' it yet? If you've got
a WWWT? pick, send it along to
morningmix@mix97fm.com or call us at 845.454.9770. That's this
Friday, so get movin'!
Great advice at the
following link on
how to take your little kids out to eat at a nice restaurant while
remaining sane. (Works for people in the restaurant business, too.)
Weekend 10.6-7-8
Stressed out?
Take a walk
in the sand.
Thu 10.5
Nerd alert! That big Star
Trek auction at Christie's in NYC starts today -
click here to geek out. Be warned: this stuff is pricey. Even a few
nasty old Vulcan ears start at a grand.
Coming up in a week and a
day it's the return of an old Morning Mix favorite:
"WHAT WERE WE THINKIN'"?
DAY
Find us those big hit songs
you can't believe you loved back in the day...we're thinking "Rock Me
Amadeus"...and email us your choice(s) at
morningmix@mix97fm.com.
Maybe we'll have a prize.
Wed 10.4
Amazing video:
Pool Meets Dominos.
It's been raining too much
in the Hudson Valley this year for us to work up a nice dirty film on
our cars, but check out what this guy does with the dust he kicks up on
a typical drive home - at
www.dirtycarart.com.
Tue 10.3
Supposedly,
this homemade pizza recipe is way faster, and tastier, and cheaper
than waiting for one to be delivered. I dunno...we've got lots of
skilled pizza artisans around here. Somebody give the recipe a try and
let us know how it works out
(morningmix@mix97fm.com, as always).
