Fired for laughing? That is hard to believe! Was her boss naked at the time?

I don’t have a good one, but a guy I worked with asked the big boss for a much needed raise once and he was told more money would just complicate his life. lol

Good Morning Ms. Alisyn,

I hope you had a wonderfu; birthday.

I was in the Military for 13 years, so “strange” doesn’t really cover it…lol

It wasn’t me, but I saw a Drill SGT have a man dig a 3×3x3 foot hole. When he finished it the Drill tossed in a cigarette butt and then told him to fill the hole.

A platoon sgt had the extire platoon walk around with an empty notebook for about 2 weeks. I do mean empty, not a piece of paper in it.

I hope you have a wonderful Day.

chas

How was your birthday weekened Alisyn?

Are you wearing any of your many, many gifts?

I can promise you being Southern that not one person south of the Mason Dixon Line would have a job if they banned telling tall tales, jokes and laughter at work. I walk into a place of bussiness where all the employees act as if their attending a Wake. I am not coming back to that place. That is why I like you Alisyn the you always manages to put a smile on my face or make me laugh. How long would Fox and Friends be on the air if the hosts did not laugh, joke and act like two year olds.

Good Morning Alisyn I hope you birthday was fun and you recieved lots of presents.

Of course, just another way for us to fall into line………….heads in the clouds.

There is a certain irony in that the same morning that there is a story about someone being fired for laughing at work that the breaking news story is the death of George Carlin, one of the funniest and ground breaking comics of the later half of the 20th century.
Not only famous for his “7 Words You Can’t Say on TV”, but also his “Stuff” routine that Alisyn mentioned this morning, and my favroite “Football vs Baseball”.
A woman fired for laughing at work and a man whose job was making people laugh. We need more Carlin’s in the world and fewer of the type of the woman’s boss.

She should have known there was a problem when she was hired and the boss was named Ebanezer Scrooge.

And for those wondering what the seven words are that you can’t say on tv, they are …… Oh wait the FCC is knocking at the door.

Alisyn thats crazy, maybe shes a happy person,
and she likes her job, whats wrong with that,
I rather be around a happy person then some miserable person anytime.
Sal

I bet she gets a lot of hits on that site from people looking for some groovy pottery! Wonder if the DEA has ever visited that one…….

Hi Alisyn. I saw the segment about Darra this morning and I have a suggestion for her. She should apply with catering companies in the Tampa area. They are always looking for experienced people, the pay is great, it,s always something different and if she is busy with her company she can just turn down that particular event and work the next one! P.S. Something is wrong with her web address – darra@potpeddler.com

Thanks,

I worked in the child care industry and have many examples of totally wierd requests from a very very poor owner of the school.

We were setting my the classroom for the school year to start. They run a summer program here and then change over to school. The teacher in the other room was not coming back until a week after school begins. I was desperately trying to get my room ready after a HUGE mess. She came in and said “If you see someone from the regulating agency come in—–run in here and tell me so I can get people in the rooms so that we are in compliance. ” This meant her, the kitchen lady, etc. We were supposed to have 1 person for every 10 kids. Sometimes 1 person had 40 and these were 3-5 years olds.

I no longer work there…and that is the BEST laugh ever in the workplace. Sometimes people laugh when they are nervous. Laughter is the best medicine I read somewhere.

Wonder if there is more to the story—as most times there is.

Ted Nugent is on the Board of Directors of the NRA (National Rifle Association) …

I had a boss tell me that I was too nice & friendly to the clientele … Err, waitaminute … That makes it sound like I was a … I laughed off what he said as I was the one always saving his asp from losing the clients …

morning Alisyn….hope you had a great birthday!
hi chas and marshall…

Hey Alisyn,

I was in West Palm Beach all last week. It’s hot there!

My boss told me to stop blogging with Alisyn Camerota!!! Can you imagine?????

Pat

I once had my boss’s wife tell me I wasted too much time joking with the other workers.
When she did that it was 4pm, she had just shown up at work, after playing tennis at the country club. I had been there since 5am when her husband, the boss/owner, also came in. (He had already gone home for the day.) Oh, and I was off the clock at the time, but that didn’t stop her from asking me to do something for her.
But I can’t say she was completely in the wrong. I was 19, and the other workers at that time of day were the high school girls, that just happened to all be cheerleaders. Now you know why I was hanging around work even when I was clocked out.

Is is possible for Fox and Friends to post the Youtube website of the singing dog on the Fox and Friends link. I’ve searched for it and was unable to find it.

Cheers from Oz

Happy post birthday Monday Alisunshine,
Laughter is indeed the best medicine and working at a bar, people are wanting medicine. People who laugh live longer I think and are nicer to be around. I hope we are stuck with you for a long long time sweety.

Good Morning Everyone
So you are a twin was it a surprise or did your parents know ahead of time?
My older brothers are twins (fraternal) and in 1949 I guess they couldn’t for sure tell that a pregnacy was to be a multiple birth. It was a big surprise! Then in 1951 my parents got another big surprise when my brother and I were born (again we are fraternal). My parents were told then that my mother would always have multiple births and that the next time the chances are that it would be triplets. My Dad informed them that there wouldn’t be a next time.
I do not remember what my older brothers weighed in at but at 10 lb 14oz that baby weighed more than my twin and I together

When I got my first job in the business world, my boss gave me a book on how to dress properly. The cowboy hat and pigtail were apparently not acceptable.

18 years later, we’re wearing shorts and flip flops. Not that I mind it, but my how things change!

thanks Alisyn….I ‘ll be watching!

Alisyn, I hope you had a great birthday weekend!

And may I say, “orange” you looking beautiful this morning!

Interesting when you think about that we, as a society, like to think we are more “sophisticated” today and more “tolerant” than back when Carlin first had his “7 words” routine, but today we still have those 7 words that can’t be said, but many more have been unofficially added due to political correctness and fear of offending someone.

Decent people can suffer for the sake of a good laugh.

I remember Carlin from a comedy album he did in the late 19602, when I was a teenager.
He was….Al Sleet, the Hippy Dippy Weathman….it was hilarious! He will be missed.

in the late 1960’s

Okay, I remember one, but not sure it is all that funny. When I was about 19 I was applying for a job at a fast food place and the manager was giving me a tour. We were at his desk area and he was explaining this and that and I kept noticing this red light above his desk flashing. He noticed that I was distracted by the thing so he told me not to worry, because it was connected to a button out front and the cashiers were all the time bumping it with their knees. About that time the very large cook came running by us screaming, “He is going to kill us all!” Then two guys wearing ski mask came busting through the door and told us all to hit the floor.

Now for the crazy part, after it was all over the manager asked me if I was still interested in the job!

When I worked at the social Security Administration in Baltimore (Many years ago), I was also told to stop laughing so much. I was disturbing ither people. But in a bar?? Give me a break. People go there to feel better (Tequila) and have a better time than they are having at home. My guess is that her boss had other issues. Happy Birthday, Alisyn and Hello to Audra!

Okay — second try — why do these comments sometimes “take” and sometimes not??

In brief — without knowing the entire context of the story, or at least hearing the other side, I can’t really say if this laughing thing is as ridiculous as it sounds. Perhaps she was fraternizing with one small group of customers to the point where she was neglecting other customers, or neglecting the waitress station, or placing the brunt of the bar work (which includes cleaning, replenishing stock, etc.) on other bartenders. You never know. She seems like a nice person, however, so good luck to her in her job search.

I haven’t been asked to do anything strange, but I have seen some terrible workplace behavior that’s gone unchecked, so I understand how annoying small things can get, or even how they can help create a “hostile” work environment.

I’ve seen one woman, a receptionist, line up her religious icons and pray to them every morning in a very overt style — including repeated kissing of the icons — and this is at a reception desk!

I’ve seen one attorney at a small firm I worked at behave in such a disgusting and sleazy manner that women used to run into the ladies’ room when they saw him coming. He was given to open leering and giggling at people, he spent much of his day soliciting gossip from the secretaries and billing clerks who were given to that sort of thing, and then would make sure he got a chance to repeat it loudly and pointedly in front of the person they’d all been gossiping about.

I’ve seen smokers take break after break after break, calling their smoking friends so they could coordinate their breaks, to the point where they would rack up one and a half to two hours of paid free time by the end of the day. They’d then push their unfinished work on the non-smokers to make up for it.

So, maybe after working at a place where bad behavior went unchecked, I appreciate the other side to stories such as these.

Hi Jimmy.

Hey Pat, I know what you mean. People are always coming by and expecting me to work instead of spending time here.

Some people…

chas

Alisyn do your new jammies have feeties?

Morning Jimmy and Chas. Jimmy did you get any rest over the weekend, or were your eyes glued on that new baby?

Alysyn….When I was a mere lad, I worked for a guy whose mantra was…’a happy worker is a non-worker…’ The sad part was…..he TRULY believed it! Ya know where that job was? US Postal Service! Yup…he was one of those disgruntled guys!

Great show…keep up the good work!

Phil

Hmmmmmm……… I’ve seen non-smokers spend 30 minutes in the break room on a 10 minute break complaining about smokers taking a 5 minute break outside in the rain. Some people just aren’t happy unless they can be biotchin’ (is that one of the 7 words?) about other people.

Morning Marshall.

Perhaps people need to consider “Unions”. That kind of puts a stop to managment using their power in a kingly fashion.

Have a great day Ali.

Alisyn,

Shouldn’t Darra be concerned that her website (thepotpeddler.com) might draw the wrong type of people? And possibly scrutiny from law enforcement?

Hope you had a wonderful birthday ! I assume it was your 29th.

When I was on active duty in the military I was attending the NCO Academy back in the middle 1980’s. When we went on break for 10 minutes of every hour we were required to make sure that if someone used the water fountain that it was wiped clean and no water spots were left behind.

After one particular break we asked the instructor for that hour what the rationale was behind this particular behevior. Mind you we had several other little oddities that were required such as checking each others uniforms for loose threads, which we called ropes. Well, the instructor tried to pass off to us that since we were in from all around the world the idea behind this was to prevent us from spreading diseases that we all might be carrying. We were in San Angelo, TX and yeas we had people in from Europe and the Pacific as well as stateside.

All he had to do was tell us that it was part of the game. It was just another way of teaching discipline. We were all professionals at this time in our career with the majority of being middle level managers looking for promotion into the upper tiers in the non-commissioned world.

Nothing wrong with playing a few games once in awhile but for that instructor to brush off the real reason left him an unpopular instructor to say the least. What we needed was the truth. We were big boys and could handle it.

Unfortunatley as I have seen in my 18 + years since I retired that there are a lot of people out here that can’t accept the truth.

Good Morning Alisyn,

Hope you had a great birthday! You deserve it!

Well, Marshall, the official breaks for workers who get those are on the clock, so that doens’t happen in this office. Smoking breaks, however, are not. They’re on the honor system. Some people are honorable about them, and some not.

I loathe dishonorable people, and users and slackers and lazy lay-abouts and people who abuse the leeway given to them (to support, I might add, a disgusting, filthy, piggy, weak-willed addiction) are dishonorable people.

You go to work to do a job. You take money for your time. If you’re only there to get the money and find as many ways as possible to avoid doing the work, then you’re a lazy, selfish, shifty, dishonorable person. If you make more work for other people in the process of finding ways for you to do less work yourself, then you’re creating a hostile work environment.

I’m quite happy, thanks, and I don’t actally spend much time at all complaining about people. My comments here are in response to the situation being discussed.

But, hey, let’s do it your way — let’s all show up at work, laugh, joke, have a bunch of smokes, waste time, etc., and then all whine and complain when our raises aren’t what we expected, or when smoking priviledges are taken away altogether. Because some people just aren’t happy unless they’re complaining about the big bad boss who expects people to earn the money he’s paying them.

I certainly hope you are not at work right now!

good one marshall!!!

Gee Nora. You are just a ray of sunshine this morning.

For someone that says she doesn’t spend much time complaining about people, your posts sure have been focused on that.

A big Happy Birthday from one of your fans who think you should be the main squeeze between the guys — Steve and Brian.

Question for you. What happen to ED Hill — is she off the air?

Also, another favorite of mine is Greg Kelly and where is he — is he off the schedule?

A fan wants to know.

Somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning I see.

I always thought a happy worker was a productive worker.
And I have had bosses who thought they could critcize you and belittle you into doing a better job. A little praise goes a lot further.

I’m glad I see the humor in most all situations and can start a week on a higher note. I am also glad that I am very proficient at my job and can make things happen without being a tyrant with a frozen grimace on my face for 10 hours a day.

I suspect that Ms. Nora is one of the people that helped push smokers outside to begin with and now complains that they go outside.

No audio on the ASS, again this morning.

It all makes sense now. I see Gretchen, Alisyn and Peter laughing. That is now not allowed so the audio was turned off so we can’t hear it.

Yes, it was an armed robbery and petrifying at the time, but a lot of nervous laughter afterward.

I had just moved to Atlanta, GA and was living in a boarding house so I kept every cent I had to my name in my wallet. The robbers had us all stretched out on the floor face down with our arms extended over our heads. They went around and got purses and wallets from everyone and made the manager open the safe. For some reason they left before getting to me so I was spared. I got out of that place and never looked back!!!

I used to work with a couple of smokers at a Vet clinic. We worked at the reception desk. We ALL needed to get away sometimes. When I felt I was going to reach over the counter and strangle a client—–I would say I am going for a smoke break. I would calm down and we all covered for eachother.

It made for a very congenial workplace instead of being mean and petty about it.

That’s because you are sensable and reasonable person Eileen. Morning.

Whoever is in charge of the ASS must not be up for job review soon.

Wed- The ASS was not streamed live. Only available later on website.

Thur- Audio off for first part of ASS. When posted first part was edited out.

Fri- ASS showed fine. But was never posted later on the website.

Mon- NO audio on ASS.

Maybe time to change the intern that is in charge to someone that can get it right?

Marshall, I’m a freelancer now. I no longer have to work around the lazy, the stupid and the slow. I’m infinitely more productive, make twice the money, and work when and where I please. It’s a great gig. You should try it sometimes — beats having to work for someone else.

Why are you so sensitive here? All I’m doing is providing some perspective. You all want to complain about bosses, but should anyone dare to point out that sometimes bosses have a point, OMIGOD, all they’re doing is complaining about people!!!

Anyways, I reallize the majority of commenters here are merely a bunch of, er, men (and I use the term loosely…) who’d rather spend all day hotchatting Alisyn than focusing on the topic at hand.

You can commence oozing all over her now.

There’s no real point to these comboxes anymore.

Ta!

I guess she told you Marshal….lol

I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want her as a boss. Way to many anger issues….lol

maybe there is a reason she works on her own….hmmmmmmmmm

Once I had the choice of a Christmas bonus or a Breast augmentation. It was a time when money meant a lot to me, I found it so insulting. As soon as I had a chance I left the company.

Well, I think that explains all the hostility.

Many, many moons ago had a boss give us a pep talk about not getting raises that year, but we should all be happy we had jobs. The real kicker was he had to send it on video tape because he was in France with his wife shopping for antiques.

Doobie, doobie, doo ~~~~~~ Just oozin’ and smoozin’ with Alisyn on a sunny Monday morn ~~~~~

Hi Nora,
I dont have a problem when workers laugh and joke while their working,
but if it that takes away from their work and someone else has to do their work, thats a different story.
Sal

Happy Belated Birthday Alysin May your good personality and humor carried on through your life.

I was once told by a superior, that I worked to fast, and that I should slow down, so as not to make the other workers look bad.

I wish I was working with Mike Malone when he was 19, All the cheerleaders., No wonder he stayed after work, I would of done that too. LOL

Good to see you Mr. Fahy. I hope the Mrs. is recovered by now.

How’s tha man bag working out for ya?….lol

chas

Holy Cow Kathy. Now of course my mind goes to what was offered to the men????? Nope—not going there…..hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

You guys lay off Nora! She’s entitled to her opinion, as we all are.

As to Emily’s comment, we’ve also noticed that Greg Kelly is MIA, and he was one of your best. So are several of our other favorites missing. The weekends have gotten really bad–with repeat shows from earlier in the week and some shows being shown 3 times in a day’s schedule. What gives? Our viewership has gone wwaaaayyyy down on the weekends! These opinions have been sent to your higher ups. It doesn’t seem to be helping as matters are getting worse–not better.

Otherwise, y’all have a great day and keep smiling–makes everyone wonder what you’re up to!

hi alisyn good morning its always great to see your smiling face on monday mornings glad fox doesnt tell you to stop smiling

good morning also to marshall, chas, jimmy and dog

Pat in New Port Richey

Morning Pat.

hey wizard how are you doing

pat new port richey

hi Pat

hi jimmy how are you today

ok….i just took Sun off from everything….watched tv on the sofa all day….

lori and i are at the other place

ok be right there

But Gwen, are we not allowed our opinion about Nina’s opinion?

I saw on a TV News blog that Greg Kelly has been doing some fill in work on the morning show at FOX 5 in NYC. FOX 5 is owned and operated by NewsCorp, the parent company of Fox News Channel.
Greg was working with Jodi Applegate on thier “Good Morning New York” Show. I don’t think it was a permanant thing but who knows. If he does well…..
FOX 5 is where Dari Alexander was transfered to when they needed an afternoon news anchor.

As for those asking about where is E.D. Hill. Her show has only been off a week. Not a lot of time for her to show up with a special or filling in on another show. She might have even taken last week as some vacation time.
Hopefully we will all be seeing her soon or at least hear word of what she is working on.
I know I miss her, and her show in the afternoons.

Good Morning Alisyn!
‘Saw the story about Darra. People usually go to a bar for entertainment, have fun and forget about the day they just had! Anyway, you gave out a website that will write out resume’s. I didn’t write the web address down (thinking I could remember it!!) Could you please let me know again the address for resumes?

Oh, and the 16yr old girls that want to have babies…are the Jaime Spears Fan’s? Maybe they want to follow suit with her.

Thank-you
Gemma Potts

Doing well Pat. All is well with you?

Hi Pat!

Gwen, of course everyone is entitled to an opinion, but everyone doesn’t have to like it! lol

Life is too d@mn short to get all caught up in things that mean little in the long run. A job eats up a very big portion of our lives and having some laughs along the way is a good thing.

Ms Nora, our records do not properly reflect this adjustment to your income and there are some serious questions about your claimed deduction for managing everyone else’s business. We will be in touch.

Ya know, Fox has a whole lot of talent that we only see in short snippets (haven’t you learned to hate that word this year?) and the airwaves are filled with repeats all night long! Why not use some of these people during those hours?

I also want Fox Business on my cable service because that branch of the network appears to be loaded with babes!!!!!!!!

as well as can be expexted are you busy at work today

pat new port richey

hi marshall jimmy lori and i are at the other place

Eileen, speaking strictly as a guy, I’d go for the breast augmentation. I want to look like those guys on 300 permanantly!!

Remember, I’m still a guy.

I have a few silly things I have heared at work. Once in my twenties I was trying to get a promotion, the manager told me he would not promote me because I was too good at the job I did, no reason to train two people.

Another time I was working sales for a company and after work another rep and myself were in the parking lot talking about our plans for the weekend. After about 15 minutes, the owners wife came out and told us we had to leave, as the company does not allow us to talk on company property. (The lot was a shared lot with other businesses.

While working for the same company we were bought out by private equity group. They immediately changed the production quality of our product (Remanufactured Toner Cartridges) and our defects went up considerably. One of our customers had us send product directly to their customer, and we sent out an entire batch, that would no work. When called by the customer about this we replaced the product with another batch, and again they all were defective. After one more try with the same results, the customer rightfully decided to order from our competitor. My boss called me into the office and wanted to know why I was not able to get the customer back. “After all if I was a good sales person I should be able to smoth things over”.

And finaly here is the best that happened at that company. 4 years ago this week my parents passed away seven days apart. So for all intents and purposes I was not in the office for about two weeks. At the end of the month I was called into the office and my boss asked my if I had any excuse for the sales be down in my region. I just looked at him dumbfounded.

This boss was a man that had a newborn and spent 4 to 5 days every week on the road, thrying to get the big deal. When I asked him about his son, and if he was missing anything he said, “He won’t remember anything unti he is 4 anyway, so there is no reason to be home all the time.’ I looked at him and said “your son may not remember, but you will!”

I have been in the Army for 20 years. The building we work in is old and the signs are from a time where soldiers lived near where they worked and not many people drove to work.

As a result, my boss counseled me for parking in an unlined parking area. He referenced a 20 year old sign on a building on the other side of the parking lot that read “Parking in Lined Spaces Only”.

When I was counseled, I asked him about the sign that read “No Privately Owned Vehicles Past this Point” which was right next to the sign he referenced and asked if he needed me to find the other 40 people with cars that have ignored the sign to counsel them too.

I watched 300 the other night and that is a strange but interesting flick. What is that visual technique they used with all the characters?

JT–Brad Paisley has a song out right now called I’M Just A Guy”. And MOST of the time, we woman are glad of that. We were made differently for a purpose after all.

marshall, chas and jimmy alisyn has put up a new blog with elizabeths picture

Pat I just saw that! She got the grandpappy confused! lol

i know chas is probably still at lunch so he will really be surprised when he sees it

Late entry but..

When I was in the Air Force in Thailand during the Vietnam war we were trying to get our aircraft pre-flighted and off the ground. Our squadron commander had a bicycle he would ride out to the flight line and ride around the aircraft as pre-flight was going on. He spotted some guys who were waiting for parts to be delivered to the aircraft. They were laughing at whatever and the next day everyone had a new directive from the commander. “No laughing during duty hours”.

Eileen, I have that song on my iPod and listen to it all the time. Brings a smile to my face every time. I am that guy!

My boss once asked me to take him to a strip club during a visit to my town. I had no idea where they were located so I called a vice squad buddy of mine for the lowdown. I made sure my wife knew all about it just in case someone I knew saw me going into one of them. What a night that was.

Fired for laughing. That is a first, and that woman should filed a lawsuit against her boss, or maybe taken the issues to the higher ups, maybe the person to owns that restaurant chain.

Alisyn-

How can anyone tell you not to smile? Its part of your kind hearted bubbly personality. People that smile often live longer, and they have a fuller and enriched life, so keep up what you are doing! If that boss didnt like it, as far as i am concerned that was was his problem. He probably was a mean spirited person, who must have had major issues in his personal life. I think he wanted everybody else to suffer because of it. I guess all that stress killed him.

Take Care.

we’d all be out of work if that was the case, and there’d be no circus!

Emily

ED Hills show was cancelled abruptly after she made a simple mistake. I think that is already apologized for it, and shouldnt be held accounable anymore.

Go to this link for the inside scoop:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ED_Hill

Greg Kelly is currently hosting the afternoon block from 4-6pm on weekends with Julie Banderas. I guess he was on vacation this past weekend, because Greg Jarrett was filling in for him.

Hope this helps.

(Apologies in advance to Nora ) Telling Ali not to smile is like tellin’ the Sun not to shine!

Thanks Brad

I did googled about ED and found out what happen.

On Greg I had seen him with Julie but you are right he was not on the past weekend. I am not sure I like Greg with Julie but I don’t make the decisions at Fox. I am retired, I like my retirement from corporate america.

Thanks again Brad

Good afternoon Bill Fahey…

And so was I!!!! You are working too fast, and that is not a good thing. Well, needless to say I was speechless. Hard to believe, I know. I was eighteen, working for the State of Ohio..Bureau of Motor Vehicles…yeppers, at nite, and going to Ohio State during the day. Too funny really, because, how does one slow down??? I did ask the supervisor that very question…being an army brat, and very verbal, but always polite, and she couldn’t answer my question..of course, except it made the department look bad….as I had one of the two biggest filling “cabinets” to get done, so if I could get done, then whatsup with the rest of??? Oh my, and I was so very young…refused to belong to the “flower fund” too…oh my on my OH MY!!! The supervisor wasn’t happy about that at all, but, I explained that I really didn’t care about “flowers” from the flower fund? The WHOLE family lived in TEXAS/OKLAHOMA…so, not important. Well!!! How dumb was I??? NOT flowers Virginia!!! It was their political slush fund. Geezzzzz! Ah! The dark ages were sooooo fun. Thankfully I fell madly in love, married that boy, and am still happily (most of the time, anyway…haven’t stopped talking ya know???), for the last forty two years…and six kids later, and none of them are quiet either….hummm…wonder where they got that from??? Oh Bill Fahey…you have made me smile today. Thank you very much!!! lol

PS…IF laughing is banned, I am in just a whole lot of trouble. People come to the office especially to hear “the story of the day”, and laughing is the very best medicine. Everyone wins Nora…everyone. And the smiley lines, by the way, serve one well as they age. But then, you may never know that honey…and that is just too bad for sure. And life is just full of just laugh out loud moments, IF one is looking??? On Sunday, the grand daughter calls, and has lost her curly hair piece and must Irish dance in the late afternoon. Wellllllllllllll, you can imagine!!! Papa was out washing the cars (such a nice guy) and so was not ready to make that trip…and we had, after all BOUGHT SEVERAL AS SHE CANNOT SEEM TO HANG ON TO THEM!!! I suggested that she wet her hair down, and her mother could put “pin curls” in, and it would be dry and curly by dance time. WELLLLLLLLLLLLLL, much to my surprise, mama had never heard of PIN CURLS!! Sheesh! So over they came, after buying “bobby pins” fr the store…and the “pin curls” were done by grandma Gini…a side note. The bobby pins purchased were totally unsatisfactory, and I just kept thinking that McGyver would not have been able to rescue ANYONE if these bobby pins were the only thing available…I know..but! The unsatisfactory bobby pins made the “pin curls” way harder to do than it should have been. As punishment for loosing the curly piece…and causing grandmama so much distress was…breakfast on the lovely deck, fixed by said grandmama, but but but, the Miss Celia, had to listen to all of ROGER WHITAKER IN CONCERT, my very favorite cd, and they alllllllllllllllllllllll run madly from the house when I put it on!!! It did make her LAUGH out loud Nora….and her curls were gorgeous for the Irish dancing…and life is good ya know? It really is for sure. Thank you Alysin, for this most wonderful place to be, and NORA…smile honey!! Life is a journey…and God has a huge huge sense of humor. lol

Where in the world is Greg Kelly? And why isn’t he filling in while Brian is away? We really can’t understand some of the changes that FNC has made lately……THEY STINK!!! Where are our favorite anchors???!!!

Emily-

No problem, i am glad to help. If you or anyone here needs to know certain info and facts, or even advice, just let me know and i will try and do what i can to help.

I really liked ED Hill’s show also. She made my afternoons enjoyable with her witty personality and perspective on the days top news stories. Maybe you or someone here can write to viewer services to suggest they bring her show back.

Why dont you like Greg with Julie? I think they make a great team.

I also noticed Julie is a regular weekly panalist on Red Eye. Have you seen that show? Its hilarious.

Take Care.

I think that is alright for ppl here to express their opinions, but when it gets the point where the two parties starts yelling and flaming each other, then its time to stop.

I know someone here mentioned that the quality of FNC shows on the weekends isnt really good.

I agree to them that is isnt up to the standards of the weekday programs, but its still hard hitting and informative programming.

And i dont think viewership for FNC has gone way down, its still the number one news network, and its beating those other 2 liberal channels for over 10 consecutive years.

Geraldo At Large, Hannitys America, and The Strategy Room are perfect examples.

I will tell you this, its a whole lot better than those other liberal biased mainstream media networks.

Just my thoughts.

Marshall-

This link below will give you the inside scoop of how that 300 movie was made.

http://www.therawfeed.com/2007/03/movie-300-made-with-macs-cgi.html

Three strange things the boss said to do:

1. Pack up your stuff.

2. Pick up your pink slip.

3. Leave the building.
===========================
A quick outsource with a smile-
No doubt the boss followed in a little while.

Brad,

Be careful believing everything you read on wikipedia. There is no fact checking on there to make sure the info is correct. Often the info is as likely to be incorrect as it is correct.

We meant that the changes to the weekend schedule stinks, NOT FNC. The recent changes have left us scratching our heads and honestly…..we are watching less and less of the weekend shows.

Brad

Yes I watch Red Eye — Julie is fun on that show. I just don’t think the chemistry is right between Greg and Julie.

I am a big fan of Greta and just love Shep. I believe that Fox puts out a good product and is far above the other cable networks. I really haven’t warmed up to the crew of Fox & Friends on the weekends.

To Gina: Your welcome! I love it when people smile and feel good about themselves. Oh for the good old days, and if we only knew then, what we know now.

To Chas: My bride is on the way to repair. we are looking for a rehab discharge date soon. It will
be good to have her back home after a year of illness. I can’t thank FOX and Friends enough for the good things they done for her. Made her part of the show and sent her gorgeous flowers. In fact the Fox News has gain many new viewers of the health employess in Schenectady. NY.

My wife is claiming the man bag for her knitting stuff. LOL .

I can understand a person being fired for laughing if it is a annoying laugh and constant. I own a restaurant and have a waitress that has a very annoying laugh and she laughs at everything. She has worked for me for over 15 years and the laugh has proceeded to get worse. I can here her back in my kitchen and my other employees just shake their heads. So I know I have regular customers that are very annoyed at times. Because she has been with me for so long I put up with it. I can remember being in a store and hearing a laugh and knowing she was in the store.
Believe me you are probably not getting the whole story.

Bill Fahey…I am so glad to hear the good news and the man bag will be perfect for your wife! And I continue to smile with your note and the good news of your wife! My children are gathered here now, so I am off to “chat” with…and the grand daughter does now know how to do PIN CURLS!!! So, the elegance of the pin curl continues on to the next generation…and that should make us allllllllllll smile big! And I still haven’t slowed down, by the way. If there is a job to get done, let’s get it done NOW, and on to something else for sure!! lol

Emily-

Red Eye is hilarious, i usually set up my VCR, because i rarely stay up that late.

I have always wondered, how early is the show taped? I know it isnt live, but it seems like sometime during the evening hours.

Have you ever checked out dailygut.com? Greg’s site? Its a good read for any fans of the show.

I know that Bill O’Reilly tapes his show about 2 hours before it airs.

Yep, all of the Fox Shows are produced with the highest standards. Hannity and Colmes is probably one of my all time favorites. I hear a lot of people dissing it because Hannity interrupts this guests, doesnt give them a chance to talk, etc. Those are just liberal haters who dont know right from wrong. The reason he does this is because most of the guest dont answer his question, and he is just getting to the truth of the matter, without all the spin.

What do you think about Brit Hume? I really like the whole format, in particular the All Star Panel.

Well, maybe if you watch Greg and Julie more often, maybe that you will change your mind. Same with the weekend F&F. Its a little different, but Ainsley is really a talented journalist. A lot of people say that she is only good delivering the news updates., but she is much more than that. She will probably be the next Alisyn Camerota in several years.

Take Care.

I was a manager at a timeshare resort in Orlando, Fl. I was also in US Army Special Forces, “Green Berets”, for 30 years prior to this. We were taught in Special Forces during survival training how to hypnotize chickens and ducks. So I showed this tallent to a couple of fellow managers with the ducks at the resort. I put one on the bed of in Master Bedroom of the model one day as a joke. I was told I couldn’t play with ducks any more after that.

Be glad to show you how it’s done. There is a reason we eat chickens. They don’t have much of a brain. Hence: “Bird Brain”

I can’t imagine someone telling you to not smile. Your smile is why I watch Fox news.

Lori and Ed-

If you dont mind me asking, what dont you like about the weekend programs at FNC?

The only thing that is different is Geraldo At Large is now a 10pm, and we havent seen the The Lineup in a while.

I heard that Jeanne Pirro will be having a new law show coming this Fall, so be sure to watch for it.

I used to work at a Woolworth a long time ago as a stock boy. I was told by the manager to pick up broken glass (dishes and stuff) that broke on the main floor by customers. I was to save this glass so that they could claim shrinkage when new shipments arrived. At one time I was told to collect the dead parakeets and canaries put them in a bag and save them. This was another way to claim DOA. I was told to keep them in the ice cream freezer untill a shipment arrived
At one time I was picking up a broken glass that he had instructed me to put in the broken glass box
I looked up at him with a huh. He said ” it’s a dog eat dog world”.

Years back I ran a Pawn Shop in Wichita, Ks. My boss the owner worked across the Street running a Loan and Tax Repairing Company. My Boss always called me Momma’s Little Boy and his War Time Help. I guess the funniest thing my Boss had told me was the morning after I gave him my advise about going Home and cutting-up his wife’s Checkbook and Credit Cards.

He said the next morning that he walked in the door of his Home and his wife was on the phone. He went over to a drawer and took out something to cut those things up. He walked by her and picked-up her purse and went and locked himself in the bathroom and started cutting. He said his wife came to the door and wanted to know what he was doing with here purse, he told her. She said she was going to kill him before she filed for a divorce the next day. My boss said he had to go sleep at his next door neighbors and he was worried all night about his neighbors wife killing him for what nhe had done to her best friend.

Gee, he was waiting on me when I got to work the next morning and he was trying to blame it on me, he said it was my fault.

Another one I guess now I can look back on say it was funny, was my dealings with my Boss’s wife. She was a doll, but she was also a trip. I ran the old 21st. Street pawn Shop in Wichita, Ks. back before all that was changed and I guess the building is even gone. But around the 1st through the 3rd of each month my boss’s wife would come to the shop and help me because we so busy.

It seemed like everytime she worked, the cash drawer would come up really short. she always went shopping when we slowed down some. Of course the shortage was always reflicted on me and my writing things down on the Daily Sheet. One day my boss’s wife came in to help me and I had the cash drawer in my pocket. She asked for it and I told her that was OK, I would open the drawer and handle that whenever she needed in it for change or whatever. She said no, she needed in that drawer. Again I told her no, so she went storming out and went over to where my boss, her husband worked.

My boss called me and asked me waht was going on and I told him. I told him she always took money out and never told me or wrote it down on the daily Sheet. I was tired of it and she was not getting back in that drawer. He told me she owned half of that Pawn Shop and half of that money was hers. I told him he had better make a his choice right then and there, I had all his keys in my hand. I told him he was going to have to decide if it was my making him money who was staying, or if if was his wife who spent his money who was staying. MY boss said, I’ll get her a cab and send her Home.

First time commenter long time viewer…

Years ago I worked as an electrician at a meat packing plant in Milwaukee. Being one of the few with a vehicle to get around the site, I was asked to hurry over to the kill floor and pick up the Kill Floor manager. As I approached I saw him running down the street with a rifle w/scope in his hands. I slowed and he jumped in the van and he yelled”To the end of the street then left, go go go!”
So I punched it! As we turned the corner I saw the bull that escaped from the kill floor running across an open lot. I was encouraged and wasted no time flying across the lot, alleys, lawns, sidewalks following this bull. We ended up at the Mitchell Park Domes with the bull standing between us and one of the huge glass domes. The manager was still breathing hard when he put a round in the chamber and handed me the gun and said,”Can you shoot him without hitting the glass?”
Without thinking about the consequences I shouted,”No problem!”
One shot, one kill…

Brian will like this one….

You are the hi-lite of my mornings!
