Saturday is Willie Nelson’s 78th birthday. The singer has been making music and touring for 55 years now and is amazingly still going strong. But does Willie ever think about retiring? “Oh occasionally, when you’re out for six months and haven’t had a break and you’re looking at the calendar and there’s not one there for a while and you start thinking, ‘Well maybe when this one’s over I’ll consider it.’ But I never have done it. Usually I’m off a few days and I’m ready to go back.” Willie will be spending his birthday performing in Austin, Texas. Get all his dates at WillieNelson.com.
• TIDBIT: Willie wrote his first song at age seven and joined his first band when he was nine.

Our Hometown Hero(’s) Today is/are Staff and Volunteers of the American Red Cross
Providing help and hope in times of need is what the American Red Cross has been about since nurse Clara Barton founded the emergency relief organization on May 21, 1881. After seeing first-hand the good done for the war-wounded by the International Red Cross during the Franco-Prussian War in Switzerland, Barton urged the United States to establish an American branch. In 1905, Congress granted the Red Cross a charter to relieve and prevent suffering during peacetime and wartime at home and abroad.
Today, the nonprofit, tax-exempt charity uses the money it collects to assist millions of people each year, from aiding victims of disasters to teaching safety-preparedness and lifesaving skills to processing nearly half the nation's blood supply.
"Every day, the American Red Cross helps people in emergencies . . . whether it's half a million disaster victims or one sick child who needs blood," says Kate Forbes, the organization's national chairperson of volunteers.
The Red Cross is supported solely by donations of time, money and blood. As the nation's largest humanitarian organization, it relies on its nearly 1 million volunteers to aid victims of disasters and to help people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. "We depend on volunteers, who constitute 96 percent of our total workforce, to carry on our work," Forbes says.
Each year, Red Cross volunteers assist survivors of more than 70,000 disasters nationwide, of which 65,000 are house fires.
Staff and Volunteers of the American Red Cross is/are our Hometown Hero Today and we salute you.
HEALTH MOMENT
In order to ease digestive problems and colic, many parents are giving their little ones herbal supplements.
New research by the Food and Drug Administration – billed as the first to examine broad use of such products in American infants – found about 9 percent studied had been fed supplements at least once.
The 2005-2007 study oversampled whites mothers, so authors say the true national prevalence is likely between 3 percent and 10 percent. About 2,600 mothers were questioned.
Gripe water for colic and chamomile tea were the most common products, but many others were used for reasons including fussiness and digestive problems. Side effects weren't examined.
Supplements aren't strictly regulated. The authors say there's a potential for harm, and the variety used means some probably were unsafe.
The research was released Monday in the journal Pediatrics.
BREAK TIME CHATTER
#1.) Every year around Mother's Day, Salary.com figures out what stay-at-home moms WOULD earn if they got paid for everything they do, from laundry, cooking, and teaching, to being 'CEO' of the family. And in this economy . . . even HYPOTHETICAL salaries can't catch a break. A stay-at-home mother's salary this year would be $115,432, which is DOWN $2,424 from last year.
#2.) According to a body language expert, these are THE two key secrets for staring at a woman without creeping her out. One, as long as you stare for less than three seconds, you won't come off as a pervert. And two, don't fixate on one body part . . . check her out AND include her face. Her first instinct will be to take it as a compliment.
#3.) Quick check if people are still CRAZY when it comes to their dogs . . . yep. Still crazy. In a new survey, 35% of people say they refer to their dogs as their SONS or DAUGHTERS . . . and not sarcastically. Also, 81% consider dogs to be EQUAL members of the family and 54% consider themselves "pet parents" not "pet owners." I don’t see a problem here.
And I leave you with this thought…
"The heart has such an influence over the understanding, that it is worth while to engage it in our interest."
