Did You Feel Prepared for Missouri's Severe Weather? [POLL]

Sam Schleicher — Tue, 21 May 2013 13:48:33 +0000

Severe thunderstorms, 60 mph winds and hail the size of ping pong balls battered Mid-Missouri on Monday (May 20). The nasty weather included a small tornado in Pettis County and Tornado Warnings for Sedalia, LaMonte, Smithton and Green Ridge. Some lost power and others sustained damage to their homes and vehicles. Those that were prepared for the weather rode the storm out and may have been a little more at ease than those who were not prepared for the severe weather.

It's National Teacher's Day: Who Was Your Favorite Teacher? [SURVEY]

Behka — Tue, 07 May 2013 19:50:02 +0000

Kids, today is National Teacher's Day. I think that we all appreciate teachers in general, but I thought we might get a little more specific here.

I thought I'd share some memories of teachers I've had and worked with, and you could tell me a little about yours. I think everyone had one of those teachers when they were a kid, that one that was your favorite. Maybe they were funny, maybe they were kind, maybe they were just whatever you needed at the time.

Bruce — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 09:15:29 +0000

Songs being recorded by multiple artists is not new. "Ol' Red" was recorded by George Jones and Kenny Rogers before Blake Shelton put his spin on it and made it a hit. "I Do (Cherish You)" was a hit for Mark Wills on the country chart and 98 Degrees on the Top 40 charts. Now we have three different versions of "Wagon Wheel" floating around.

Are You Planning on Getting a Flu Shot? [POLL]

Bruce — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 20:19:49 +0000

There has been a lot of talk about the flu lately. The CDC has called it an epidemic. Doug posted a list of places you can get your flu shot if you would like one. I haven't gotten mine and don't intend to. I'm knocking on wood as I type this, but I haven't gotten the flu shot in over 20 years and I've been fine. It is your choice though.

Do Women Expect Men to Act Like Gentlemen? [POLL]

Bruce — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 14:53:43 +0000

I was raised to treat a woman a certain way. Always hold the door open, go get the car if the weather is in-climate and the "ladies first" rule is steadfast. It seems my ways are a bit antiquated.

In a new survey, men have acted like jerks for so long that women don't even expect us to be gentlemen any more. Moreover, if a guy tries to be polite and respectful, a woman is probably going to be suspicious and think he has ulterior motives.

Is Saying a Woman is 'Hot" or "Sexy" Derogatory? [POLL]

Bruce — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:10:36 +0000

Brent Musburger drooled over Katherine Webb during this year’s BCS title game. ESPN even apologized for the comments he made. They didn’t have to. Webb, the reigning Miss Alabama and girlfriend of Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron, was actually flattered. In an interview on the “Today” show yesterday she said: If he would’ve said something along the [...]

Dinner or Supper: What Do Missourians Call the Evening Meal? [POLL]

Bruce — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:00:31 +0000

I remember a time when some neighbors and I decided to get together for dinner. We decided that we would light the grill and they would bring a dish to pass. Imagine our surprise when our neighbors were on the doorstep at noon for our gathering. It seems their meals are “breakfast, dinner and supper.” [...]
