JAKE OWENS’ BRUSH WITH FIRE. If Jake Owen ever had dreams of becoming a firefighter, he would have failed the test miserably based on an experience he had Sunday evening. Jake had fallen asleep on his couch when his coffee table centerpiece which included a candle and decorative flowers caught on fire. Jake sprung into action but sadly learned he didn’t have a fire extinguisher in his house. (Cut #3) “Get yourself a fire extinguisher if you don’t have one right now because I didn’t have one and like an idiot I thought, ‘Oh, why don’t I just take it over to my kitchen sink and spray it with water because water puts fires out right?’ NO! It just spreads!” Jake says smoke from the fire went up the walls above his sink and he now has black soot serving as an undesirable decoration.

RIDDLE ME THIS

We capture light, and yet we don't.
We reflect rays of sun, and yet we don't.
Without us all the world is gray and dull for everyone.
What are we?

HOMETOWN HERO’S

HOMETOWN HERO’S are people who serve other people, their community, and take pride in honoring, restoring, preserving, or celebrating an aspect of American hometown life, be it their work, passion, or pastime.
Thus, the truest meaning of “HOMETOWN HERO ” is people protecting, defending, caring for or serving others.
With that as the background, WHO is a “HOMETOWN HERO ” in your life or the life of others ? Some of the greatest “HOMETOWN HERO’S ” in our lives are unknown to the outside world and garner very little, if any, attention.

This Is Nuts

President Obama admitted that the airline security system “screwed up” in failing to spot the Underwear Bomber and keep him off a plane. He promised new rules would be coming to stop such failures. But that was hardly the only one. While a known threat with a bomb in his underwear was allowed on a plane, Meadows Field in Bakersfield, California, was shut down yesterday morning because a checked bag had five soda bottles full of honey in it. Investigators say an alarm detected traces of an explosive.

* That was just traces of the Mountain Dew.


HEALTH MOMENT

Snoring Causes
Muscle tone of the tongue
During sleep the muscle tone in your tongue and soft palate tends to decrease. They become more relaxed and can collapse together. This contributes to snoring. Other soft tissues, such as tonsils and tongue, can produce sounds that add to or change the quality of the snoring. The position of the sleeper affects the amount of snoring. Lying on your back allows your tongue to fall back toward your throat and block your airway; so you are more likely to snore when you are lying on your back.
Snoring cure
Lose weight
Maintain a normal weight - Losing weight can greatly reduce or even end snoring and possible obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Proper diet and exercise to losing weight.
Avoid smoking
Don't smoke--period!! can cause increased nasal congestion and mucous in the throat area. Breathing through the nose is more effectual way to bring air into the lungs than mouth breathing.
Reduce alcohol intake
Alcohol can cause relaxation in the soft tissues and muscles in the throat. This will result in snoring or sleep apnea.
Sleep on your side
Sleep on your side, it makes the snoring a little lower


BREAK TIME CHATTER

Tuesday was a bad day for Democrats. Longtime North Dakota Sen. Byron Dorgan became the first Senator to announce that he won’t run for reelection this November. Also, it was reported that Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd who’s been under fire for sweetheart mortgage deals, will announce his retirement today.

* The deficit is now over $12 trillion, so they can both say, Our work here is done.



And I leave you with this thought.

the most massive characters are seared with scars."
