So today was payday…know what that means? Time to blow it all in one day! This seems to be the trend, I get paid, pay all my bills, then I look at my left over money, and say to myself, ‘Awesome, I can go buy new crap!” I go out, spend all of my money, then the next week, I look into my wallet and simply say, “Crap.”

Every single time, never fails, I waste all of my money on stuff I don’t need. Then I act like it is someone else s fault that I have no money. Here I am, mid week, no money, starving to death, no gas, wondering if I have enough gas to get to my parents house for some free food, living off of chips, then pay day comes and what do I do? Nope don’t buy food, barley fill my gas tank, and go buy junk!

You think I would learn my lesson….nope.

I’m not the Pope or anything, but if observing Lent causes you to drink MORE alcohol, you’re doing it wrong.

–A man named J. Wilson in Corning, Iowa is giving up FOOD for Lent. And instead, he’s just going to DRINK BEER.

–It’s not just any beer, though. Wilson says he was researching Franciscan monks and found that they sometimes sustained themselves during Lent on a special, high-carb beer.

–So he brewed some of that beer himself, and now he’s going six weeks on four glasses per day.

–Each glass has 300 calories, so he’ll get a total of 1,200 calories each day. A doctor is going to be monitoring his health.

–Wilson says, quote, “I want to educate beer-people about God . . . and I want to educate God-people about beer.”

I gotta know: What did you give up for lent? Did you give up anything? Is it killing you, or have you become used to living without it?
Join us after 6am tomorrow morning on The Wake Up Call, and tell us your lenten sacrifice!

Could you even imagine dating your sister?!  This one couple went on a blind date…and later realized they were long lost SIBLINGS!!

Sarah Kemp and George Bentley (pictured, below)had to accept not being soul mates when a meeting facilitated by an Internet dating service revealed they are actually brother and sister.

If you could look at your family with an objective (and “un-icky”!) eye, would you think they’re hot?

Show off you family with The Wake Up Call Thurs at 8am!  1-800-570-1013

 

After 30 Years Apart, Brother and Sister Reunite on Bizarre Blind Date
Steven Hoffer Contributor

You should always be cautious on a blind date, and here’s why.

After connecting through an Internet dating service, two anonymous love seekers realized they were in fact estranged siblings when they finally met face to face last week.

Sarah Kemp, a cleaner living in Edinburgh, Scotland, and George Bentley, a London-based builder, began a correspondence through ForgetDinner.co.uk last November. After several months emailing back and forth, the pair — brother and sister, that is — eventually chose to “bite the bullet” and unite in person.

“I would never have agreed to go to London on a blind date, but we hit it off from the beginning, and our relationship blossomed as we emailed each other more and more often,” Kemp told Scotland’s Daily Record.

After about an hour of conversation at the White Horse, Bentley’s favorite East Ham pub, the two would-be lovers realized they were actually siblings.

“To meet your long-lost brother, in a bar, after over 30 years would be something by itself,” Kemp said. “But to meet him in those circumstances — on a date, for crying out loud — really is something else. We obviously had far more in common than first thought.”

Kemp, 42, and Bentley, 47, grew up together until their parents, Felicity and David Bentley, divorced in 1975. Kemp moved with her mother to Edinburgh, while Bentley stayed with his father.

To complicate matters further, in 1989 Kemp married, only to divorce a year later. She kept her ex-husband’s surname, Kemp, making Bentley’s search for a Sarah Bentley futile.

“I had absolutely no idea where she was,” he said. “I was also searching for Sarah Bentleys, rather than Sarah Kemps, as I obviously didn’t know she married. After a while, I think both Sarah and I gave up looking.”

Hey ladies, have you ever batted your eyelashes at a salesman to get a discount? You wouldn’t be alone if you have. 85 percent of women admit to flirting in order to knock some of the price off their purchase. Many of the women surveyed said they have saved close to $250 in a year using the flirting discount. 56 percent said they have gotten things completely for free because they flirted with the salesman.

So, with that I ask you, ladies … Have you ever flirted in order to get a discount? Has it worked? Have you ever gotten anything completely for free by flirting? Salesmen — Have you ever given a woman a discount or free item because she flirted with you?

Join us tomorrow morning on the Wake Up Call after 7am and confess to us the time you used a “Flirt Coupon”!!!!

Sometimes I just want a Big Mac. The problem is, whenever I eat one, I immediately hate myself, feel guilty and fat! Now I know I sound like a woman talking like this, but damn it, I have been losing weight, and feeling good, and I know this Big Mac will just end badly.

But they are just sooooo good. I feel like the Big Mac is better for me than say, The Whopper, or that giant thing Wendys sells, but it still isn’t great for me. The other problem with the Big Mac is, it never seems to fill me up! I think I could eat three of them before I’m satisfied. In fact, maybe this won’t be a problem, because tomorrow is payday, so I might not have enough to go to McDonalds (yes my money is that tight), let me check this financial situation out… Damn I have enough.

I even have enough for the large size, and with commercials like these I’m not finding it any easier.

You know how sometimes when you see someone SCRATCHING, suddenly you find yourself scratching too? Well, it’s not just because you gave each other crabs.

–According to a study at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina, itching really CAN be contagious.

–The researchers found that when you see someone scratching, your brain instinctively becomes hypersensitive . . . and thinks you have an itch too. So, before you know it, you start scratching.

It’s the same way that yawns are contagious. When you see someone yawn, your brain thinks you’re tired too, so you also yawn.

I also think that break lights are equally contagious… the car ahead of you breaks; instantly you do too!!!

I’m just wondering: What do you do that is out of sheer impulse when you see someone else doing it? What is your contagious impulse action?

Today is a sad day…today the eighth street bridge officially closes. While I’m excited for the new bridge, there is a part of me that feels a connection to the old bridge. This bridge has stood the test of time, flood after flood, storm after storm, winter after winter! The bridge in fact, use to be a steel grate bridge, before it was concrete.

I realize that the bridge scored a zero on safety, and is probably the narrowest bridge ever, but I still love it. The new bridge will cut down the amount of traffic on river street, and make commute much quicker, but sometimes all that traffic is a good thing, for me at least. You don’t know how many cds I got to fall in love with while sitting in traffic on River street.

Usually I have a new cd and it is mostly used for background music, but when I’m stuck in the traffic, I turn up the music, and really take in the cd, listen to the lyrics, and start to appreciate the actual cd. The Eighth Street bridge is a monument more than a bridge. It is under appreciated, this bridge is like the secret entrance to West Pittston, Exeter, and Wyoming.

I guess the exciting thing about the new bridge is, when I’m long gone, and kids of a much later generation are complaining about how terrible the new 8th Street bridge is, when they look back a pictures and news clippings on the bridges grand opening, at least I was part of all the excitement of its new beginning, and the demolition of the old.

Thank you 8th Street Bridge!

I can’t stop listening to this song! I have a feeling this will be my summer anthem… Oh, and Jake Owen is even easier on the eyes than usual (is that possible?) in this video.

We received an email from a mom who can’t believe stores are selling sexy bikinis for 8 yr olds!!

Linda took her daughter for spring clothes shopping at the mall, and her daughter was begging her to buy a bikini that her friend just got.  Her daughter grabbed it to model for her mom in the dressing room, and Linda couldn’t believe it:  the bikini was padded to purposely make her 8yr old daughter look like, well, a 20 yr old lingerie model! 

Like many parents, Linda asks, “why are designers pushing cleavage on EIGHT yr olds?!!”

Bloggers on Babble.com were furious with Abercrombie and Fitch new swimsuit line of padded tops for 8-14 yr olds, saying, “The push up bras is, effectively, a sex tool … how is this OK for a second-grader?”

Apparently a British department store called Primark sold similar bikini tops last year but stopped selling them due to harsh complaints. They donated the money made from sales of the bikinis to charity.

Just Asking …  Would you let your tween buy a “sexy” swimsuit?
Does your tween have a fashion style you don’t approve of?

Join the topic live when we talk to Linda on Froggy 101’s Wake Up Call Tuesday morning at 6:15.
studio line: 1-800-570-1013.
