The Alachua County Humane Society really needs our help!

The Alachua County Humane Society is currently renovating a new facility that will permit them to save thousands of adoptable animals from needless euthanasia every year, but they can’t do it without our help.  The Humane Society does an extraordinary amount of work on a very tight budget and they survive solely on donations.  No amount is too small and it’s very easy to make a secure contribution online. 

Please help today.  Then spread the word to your friends and family.  Together we can make a huge difference in the lives of abused and neglected animals by supporting the work of the Humane Society.

A donation as small as $5.00 will be matched by other donors and organizations who have pledged to donate up to $4.00 for every dollar contributed.  So your $5.00 is actually $20.00.  Click here to get started!

Our coworker picked an AWFUL baby name for her future son!

This is Andrea H., one of our coworkers here at the Mighty 98.  Doesn’t she look sweet?  But yesterday, we found out she was planning to commit a terrible crime!

We were talking about the feuding friends who were wrangling over the same baby name and how women often choose their baby names long before they ever plan to have a baby.  We asked Andrea if she had already picked out her future baby names.  She said she had.  So, what would she name her baby if she had a little girl?  Stella!  We thought that was a lovely name!  Then we asked about her boy name.  Are you ready for this?

Maximus Greatness.  You heard us.  Maximus.  Greatness.  We tried to explain to her what happens to kids who have awful names once they start school, but she was not convinced.  So we told her we would poll our listeners and share with her our cumulative wisdom and experience.  We told Andrea that it never goes well for the kid if the parents try to get clever or too cutesy with their name.  Chris actually had a friend who went to school with twin girls named Cherry and Peach Pitts.  Imagine the horror!

Tell us!  What are the worst kid names you have come across?

Spring has sprung and Storm has nesting birds all over his property!

Storm accidentally disturbed a nesting mama bird and now he’s afraid she won’t return to her eggs.  what should he do to save the babies if she doesn’t come back?

4.20.10.1.Storm Found a Nesting Mama Bird

4.20.10.2.Bird’s Nest Call

4.20.10.6.Final Bird Call

We also received several emails on the subject:

Melissa C. writes:

“We had a bird nesting in our tractor engine. We moved the nest to nearby bush, and the mother was fine with raising her family there.”

Joyce C. adds:

“I had a wildlife person tell me that birds really have no sense of smell.  They will not abandon eggs or nests if you touch them.  I don’t know that I agree with that, but that’s what I was told.  Have a great day.”
