I love radio, but I love it because it keeps me connected to people. I've done almost every job in the business and now I have the honor of working at this station! I am married to a wonderful (now) retired MSgt in the Air Force. The Darin makes regular appearances on my show, but he usually refuses to talk, so I have to tell all his stories for him. Dillon is my stepson and his stories are also familiar to those that listen regularly. Dillon could be the next me. He LOVES being on the radio. Most days, I work from home and do my show with a portable studio that was built for me since I am now semi-retired (at the ripe old age of 34). So, if you hear the dishwasher, the washing machine or the sounds of a 9 year old with his Lego, it's all good!

Adopt Me but Stop Hugging Me! I Hate It!
Well, dog lovers, you need to love a little less as new science indicates hugging and kissing and putting lovey-wovey smooches on your pup is something they don't like. . . at all.
In an article published in Psychology Today, Dr. Stanley Coren says dogs almost always exhibit cues of discomfort or stress when they are being hugged or embraced by humans...

Who Ya Gonna Email? LPD Online Crime Reports
There were, on average 368 non-violent crimes in Lawton every single month in 2015. Pretty crazy, right? That means around 368 times a month (according to lawtonpd.com) an officer had to respond to that incident and then do mountains of paperwork. That's a pretty compelling reason to put non-emergency incident reporting online. All those hours could be used actually fighting and solving crime

The next time we see a Monkey year will be 2028. I hope that is also the next and last time I see that weird Monkey, Puppy, Baby commercial from Mt. Dew.

Is Star Wars REALLY Number 1?
This week, Star Wars: The Force Awakens will pass $2 billion in box office sales. That's pretty nuts and it's easy to see why it is at the number one spot in box office dominance. BUT -- it's not the whole story.
If you compare what a dollar did 20, 30 or 50 years ago and what it does today, the moving picture moves pretty significantly. Adjuste...

Debris Drop Off Locations in Lawton
Trees have limbs. Limbs crack under weight of ice. Limbs fall to ground. Limbs need to be removed.
That little bit of obnoxious poetry-like sentence structure is where many people in Lawton are living. The city, though, has drop off sites if you need to get rid of those tree limbs that fell during the ice storm.
Two locations a...
It’s Time To Quit . . .Facebook
Addicts everywhere are freaking out, but new science says it is time to quit Facebook. Why? Because you need to be happy and Facebook doesn't give you that.
