So Chris McCoy and I were having our “morning coffee clotch” in the studio, and we got on the subject of our parents, and Chris told me his dad called him “Moon” growing up!   Chris didn’t know why, but it was his nick name…so…I told Chris that my dad to this day still calls me (No laughing here)…”StinkPot!”   (I still get a kick out of it when he knows it’s me on the phone, he says “Hi, StinkPot!) 

So, that leads me to ask YOU…was there any name your parents called you growing up, or even now, that your parents have bestowed upon you?   Please share!!

You can write back to the blog, or just send an email to debbiem@greatermedianj.com.

Talk to you on the air!

“StinkPot” aka Debbie

Hello again!   Thanks, as always, for reading the blog.   I have a few passions in my life; music, coffee, my beloved NY Mets, and animals.

I have 3 cats at home, Snuggles, Bootsie and the newest addition, Casper(AKA “Mr. Burmese!).   All of them were strays that I took in.

Some animals aren’t as lucky; they’re either brought into shelters and “put to sleep” due to overcrowding and not enough people to adopt them, or worse, they just die on their own, out on the streeet.

There’s a great organization called Summit Animal Rescue Association(SARA) and they’re holding a benefit concert this Friday night at The Crossroads in Garwood with The Landsharks.  Tickets are just $20 in advance, or $25 night of the show.   I know that’s more than a tank full of gas these days,  but every penny raised that night will help all the adorable adoptables!

I hope you can make it out for a night of good music, good times, all while helping Summit Animal Rescue Association raise some money for veterinary care, fostering, and hopefully, adoption for a lot of dogs and cats in the area.

If you can’t make the show and want to make a small donation, please email sarabenefit@yahoo.com, or call 732-360-9797.

Thanks!

Debbie

A quick thought before the weekend….

WOW!  Check out the date!  8-8-08!   So, are you going to play that number in tonight’s lottery, or is it just another day for you?   I remember the frenzy last year, when it was 7-7-07.   The number had been sold out for days leading up to it(I know, my dad tried to play it!).   

I was reading an article that said some people were getting married today, some were going to do a “daily double” at the track, and if you know anyone that’s turning 88 today, well I’m sure they’re feeling lucky too!

Your thoughts?   Always welcome!   Comment on the blog, or email debbiem@magic983.com!

Enjoy the weekend!
