Friday lookback at some of the things we did together this week.
- Tons of great music from the 80’s, 90’s & more (including some Christmas music)
- Donner and Blitzen were originally called Dunder and Blixem, the Dutch words for “thunder and lightning
- 90-percent of pet owners will change Holiday plans so their pets won’t be home alone.
- A 75-year-old woman attempted to smuggle brass knuckles through airport security in Germany inside a hidden compartment of her purse. Have you flown lately? Can you blame her, it’s crazy up there!
- In the UK a team of crooks attempted to break into an ATM by using a blow torch to cut into the machine. It did the job, but it also caught the money on fire. They left empty-handed
- A person swallows approximately 295 times while eating dinner. Who had to count people swallowing?
- Mistletoe translates to “dung on a stick.” The original name for mistletoe was mistaltan. Mistal comes from the Anglo Saxon word for “dung” and tan means “stick.” Sounds romantic.
As always, have a great weekend and let’s do it again next week. Thanks for listening!

Who’s eating all the Peeps?!
According to recent research around 1.5 Billion Peeps were consumed around the Easter season. But, I have to be honest, most people I talk to don’t eat them. I guess the Peep is one of those either you love ’em or leave ’em type candy. And where did they come from? Here’s what I found […]
