I have long used the phrase: “Fair to middlin’… like when someone asks “Hey Eric, how are you?” I say: “Fair to middlin’, but after a lifetime of using this old faithful of responses I was told that I have been using the wrong words.
I was told: “You’re saying that wrong it’s middling… when people speak without mumbling, they pronounce that expression “Fair to middlin’. “Middlin’”–or “middling” — means average or medium; in the middle range.”
So… from here on in I will try to say the “g” in the expression… better yet forget it I’m feeling a bit middlin’ today!

 Friendly’s new entree: The Grilled Cheese Burger Melt

It’s a hamburger where both the top and bottom buns have been replaced by full GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES.

 –This burger has 1,500 calories, 97 grams of total fat and 101 grams of carbs.  On the bright side, it has 54 grams of protein.

 Friendly’s regular hamburger has 1,190 calories, 68 grams of fat and 103 grams of carbs.

–So replacing the bun at Friendly’s with two grilled cheese sandwiches “only” adds about 300 calories and 29 grams of total fat . . . and actually SAVES you two grams of carbs.

 …take off two slices of that bread, and maaaaybe (followed by crazy cardio workout)

Apparently EVERYONE needs a day off now and then… So, while Kelly is on vacation, Regis is looking for a radio gal to fill in as his co-host! Listener, Barb, brought this to my attention and the e-mails haven’t stopped since! I used to go to the show with my mom all the time as a kid – could you imagine representing NEPA in the co-host chair?
