Fixed-Term Marriage?

Sean found an article about a guy in Australia who thought it would be a good idea to have a contract for a fixed-income marriage. You could marry someone for five years and then once the time is up, you can stay married or walk away. Sean thinks it's a great idea if this could be a real contract. Personally, I think it's a cop out. What is the point in getting married? Why go into something thinking if it doesn't work, I'll be done in five years. Whatever happened to trying to make things work instead of walking away from something. We had a lot of calls about the topic earlier. Oh and to remind you, this isn't real! Some guy wishes it could be real.

School Dress Codes

Erin was at a school board meeting the other night and the question came up regarding school dress codes. A concern was that how some people get told they can't wear baggy pants, while others don't get in trouble for wearing low cut tops or pants where you can see a persons underwear. I think that if kids want to dress like that then go ahead. Kids will be kids. Erin on the other hand is showing her age and says she thinks it's tacky and that a stronger dress code should be set at the schools. What do you think? Do you think it matters what kids wear? Are we being overly paranoid?

Biggest Loser Challenge

As soon as I finished a 3 week Biggest Loser contest, I decided to join another one with about 8 other people. You would think this would motivate me to lose weight, eat healthy and go to the gym. I've been working out but when I try to eat healthy, I fall off the wagon! Today for example, I started the day out right with a healthy breakfast and I brought a healthy sandwich for lunch. As I get to work I notice the mini donuts sitting in the hallway and tell myself I'm not going to eat them. Sure enough I have had about 4 of them and now I feel guilty! It's always hard for me to stay on track on the weekends for eating healthy. I need some motivation! I have a day and a half until my next weigh-in so hopefully I'll get back to eating veggies.

Paula vs. Kara

Producers decided to have 4 judges on this season of American Idol to change it up a bit. Now there isn't enough time for all 4 of them to make comments and it's been only 2 judges talking after each performance. We found an article that said the producers now face a tough decision. Do they leave Kara and get rid of Paula? Or should Kara leave? We're torn because Paula is an idiot but she's entertaining where Kara doesn't have a personality but she has a lot of musical talent. It's a tough call and it should be interesting once they make up their minds.

Tax Day Tea Party

Hopefully you have filed your taxes this year since tomorrow is the 15th. People are also planning tax day tea parties. It's for people who are fed up with the government, bailouts and anything else. A local one is going to be held from 4-6pm on Pine Grove Avenue. We're curious to see if people are going to attend the event. Are you fed up enough to protest? Let us know. We have posted a video below to give you a better idea of what's going on.

Cell Phones

We can understand that cell phones have taken over our lives. We rely on them on a daily basis and some of us even feel lost if we don't have it on us. But if you're going to workout, do you think you need to talk on your phone? Nothing is worse than being on a machine and someone is chatting away next to you. There should be a sign posted that no phones are allowed in the gym area! Some listeners called in to say it bothers them when people are at a restaurant talking on the phone, or waiting in a doctors office talking on the phone. So next time you're out, try to be polite and think of others.

Do you find it hard to throw away stuff you don't need?

We talked this morning about having a hard time throwing things away that you don't need. Erin said she pretty much gets rid of stuff that she knows she won't use, but sometimes it's hard to get rid of clothes! I used to be a pack rat but I've gotten a lot better. My girlfriend never throws anything away which is really frustrating so I'm trying to get her to go through stuff and pitch it! Do you have stuff that is hard to throw away?

More Snow!

I can't believe it's snowing right now! I know they predicted we were supposed to get snow but I really thought they were going to be wrong. Who would have thought we would still have to wear boots and sweaters in April. It's not fair! We can hope that one day we will see warm weather! Who wants to go to St. Martin?!

Tough Love

There's a new show on VH1 called Tough Love and I'm addicted to it! I normally don't watch shows like this. You know they're bad for you but you still watch anyway. It's about this match maker who wants to help women find true love. But he has to figure out first what they are doing wrong and why they can never find a date. The girls had a mock date on one episode and every time they said something wrong, he would shock them! I have posted a clip about the show so check it out below. I think it can help all of us!
