Here’s your hint: “They’re the farthest and the biggest.”
Dear Storm & Chris,
My 17 year old daughter and I heard you talking about Facebook confessions and how many friends people have on Facebook. It sort of reignited a disagreement we’ve been having at our house, so we decided to write to you and see what other parents had to say about it.
My daughter recently went on a date with a young man and at the end of the evening, as he was dropping her off, I heard him say “See you on facebook” to her has he was leaving. I didn’t have much time to speak with him before or after the date so a couple of days later, I reached out to him on facebook to say hello. Well, my daughter was FURIOUS. She says I humiliated her and that I have no business talking to any of her friends on facebook and that I should never have said anything to him. All I said was hello! And to top it off, my husband AGREED with her! Is it really that big of a deal?
We’ll be listening to hear what other parents and teens have to say about this.
Thanks!
Diane
Let me first say that I am not typing this to get out of the ticket. I violated the posted speed limit and I must pay the fine. The last speeding ticket I received was over 7 years ago and I was a commuter between Gainesville and Ocala for over 5 years. Yes on occasion, I make mistakes and today I didn’t pay close enough attention to my speed. Although, my observation since my ‘incident’ is there seems to be an unusually high number of law enforcement vehicles on the road. My other observation is that there are only 3 days left in the month. Coincidence? Be safe on the roads and pay attention to your speed.
Also interesting to point out in this recession economy, that attending driving school no longer reduces the amount of your fine!
Congratulations to Barbara McGhee, our Woman of the Week!
Dear Storm & Chris:
I am nominating Barbara McGhee as 98.5KTK Woman of the Week because she is the hardest working woman I know…plus she is my mom! In my eyes, she is the most incredible person I know. Since we were young children, my mother has always taught compassion to all her children. Whether it was preparing meals for a soup kitchen or shopping for a less fortunate family at Christmas, she made sure that her girls always think of those who are in a rough spot in their lives. She handles herself with grace and class in all situations. In my memory, she has always put others before herself. She has organized and prepared a monthly meal for Interfaith in Ocala for the past nine years. She is an integral part of the Pioneer Garden Club and recently played a large role in their “Christmas in Bloom” fundraiser. My mother is a nurse by profession and extends the same compassion and dedication to her patients. Please consider my mother for this award, she truly deserves the title of “Woman of the Week”. I hope that I am teaching the same lessons to my own children. Listen as we surprise Barbara on the air! 1.28.10.4.Woman of the Week Barbara McGhee

Do you know someone you think should be our Woman of the Week? Tell us about her!
We asked for your Facebook confessions this morning and here’s what you had to say about your Facebook friendships!
The Facebook obsession of amassing ‘friends’ creates the impression that some users are wildly more sociable than others.
But while we may be able to count 5,000 friends on the online social networking site, scientists have shown that humans’ brains are capable of managing a maximum of just 150 friendships.
