I heard a commercial you did for Lasik but I only heard the end. Could you give me more details?

Scott,
Where do we contribute to the ticked off column of the day? Have a few lingering ones.

Thanks!

Hi Scott, It’s Christine Bond I am wondering if you would be willing to do something to help promote National Epilepsy Awareness Month which begins today and runs through the end of November. I was diagnosed after I had a grand mal at work in 2010. I am trying to contact local radio stations, news stations anywhere to help spread awareness..anything that you could do would be greatly appreciated! you may contact me via email, I would put my number up but I see that the comments are posted for everyone to see . Thank you soo much!

My home is surrounded with old oak trees and I can sympathize with you about the acorns falling. It drives me NUTS too!! Ugh! From Valkaria, FLA.

Wondering if your rendition of Butterfly Kisses is available for download?

I’m curious about the article you mentioned during the “magazines” segment this morning: don’t follow your gut, consider the options. Could you pass along what magazine it was in?

Scott I was home on Monday and watching GMA and they had the man with the full face transplant and his doctor. So I was wondering the doctor that appeared on GMA was that your nephew?

Hey Scott, heard you talk about the good ole Cap’n Crunch retiring. I had to write to Quaker…They replied today and told me that “the reports of the Cap’n demise have been greatly exaggerated and he now even has his own Facebook page”.
Good news for fans of the Cap’n. I would be happy to share this email with you if you want.

HeyScott – Heard you talking about your photography this morning and wondered if you’ve heard of the “Daily Shoot”? If not, check it out at http://dailyshoot.com/ Have fun!

Hey Scott and Gang,

Heard the new Lady Ga Ga record this morning! My wife and I liked it – very Madonna-esque, and we’re both Madonna fans.

Maybe the Lady should go by ‘Lady Ma Ma’… in honour of the original!!!

I found something for your Ipad!

LOL:)

Scott: I am very disappointed for the bad choice of words you used this morning to describe my country Colombia and my people. It is so unfortunate that people like you who do not know anything about who we are and what we believe in, can use a public media to make such comments. Do you really believe that every person in Colombia (including millions of children) are drug dealers? I believe you owe us a public appology and perhaps one day you should read about our country and get to know more possitive facts: best coffee in the world, first exporter of flowers to the USA, best emeralds, and mostly 40 million people who are hard workers and try to do the best for they and their families.

I may consider switching to other radio station – sad because I’ve listened to your program since when I moved to Florida 11 years ago.

We have two types of vultures, turkey vultures have a red head and black vultures have a black head. Both are protected species. We have more vultures in Florida in the winter because some migrate from the north in winter, thus increasing the populations in Florida. Vultures roost in trees and on the ground. They nest on the ground, in palmetto thickets, old barns or buildings and hollow stumps. Vultures can cause damage to roofs, air conditioning and communication equipment. They pick and eat rubber insulation on wires.

Where do you guys get all of your studies/polls/etc.? I just caught the end of one saying something about the name Laura or women’s names ending with an ‘a’. BTW Love your show – You guys make me laugh.

Scott, I always wanted tell you this one: Many, many years ago pledged that one day I would get myself a big orange tomcat and his name would be( I swear this is true) GEORGE. After my last cat( a grey female) died, I went out to find me just such a kitten and searched for 4 month bc for some reason that year had a shortage of orange males. But I had made up my mind and finally I found him at a rescue shelter.His name was Sir Oliver but I renamed him and he didn’t mind. Of all the cats I have had, George has the most personality. He is beautiful, 15 lbs large and the coolest cat ever.And every time you talk about your George I think they must be brothers. But just know, I wished for and named my George way before either cat was even born. Pretty cool, though., don’t you think? Great minds think alike or so they say………

Hi Scott. Over time you have provided us with lots of great “Fran nailed it” recipes and so now I’m looking forward to her Chicken pot pie recipe. I would love to try it. Jay said he added sour cream. Are you ready to release this one to the world? Can’t wait to hear from you. Take care.

Why did you stop playing the Friday song? We’ve gone two weeks without it! Put it on iTunes if you aren’t going to play it, so I can at least have it for the 20+ people in my office that look forward to it every week. Please please please please!

My oldest, now 26 (Go Noles) was our Lauren…heading off to college and leaving us devestated and behind. Of course we were thrilled & so proud but it was hard to have her go. We know what you and Fran are feeling and I want to give you words of encouragement. I have always thought our families were much alike…we laugh at ourselves before others can, we actually have a fun time being together and my daughters (yes, I have 2…that later), are happy to vacation with us and have never rolled their eyes at something we said. Okay, that one is a lie, but we lived through it and now, they are beginning to realize that turning into us is not so bad. Yeah, they have both actually said that! Sweet! I also think that Fran is like me…handles the business end of things (although she asks your advice she probably thinks she’s more in control) and you just need to love Lauren and offer the advice to his girl. Let me tell you, from what I’ve heard, you are the soft parent and so much like my husband. On a night when I was annoyed with my daughter going out, my husband turned to me and said, “Honey, all we can do is say be careful and I love you. We’ve given her the tools to know right from wrong and I trust her.” Naturally, I was annoyed by his sensitivity but he was right. We raised them the best we could with the right morals and to make good decisions. They are wonderful and I know that Lauren is too.

Anyway Scott, let me tell you that while you both will feel Lauren’s departure greatly (I couldn’t even speak at work when someone asked me how the move in went!), you will constantly be amazed and proud of her step into adulthood. But you know what else? While Fran is going to be the one (forgive my presumptiousness) to make sure she is doing right from wrong and continue to make sure the business and education end is on track, Lauren will love and miss her mom…but she will miss you more. Nothing replaces daddy. You are the one to make sure she puts gas in her car, slips her a $10 here or there (my husband aslways left cash in funny places to surprise her, even if it was only $2.00…and she loved it everytime), and will listen to her exploits without judgement or criticism. We moms think we have to correct all the time if we doubt the safety or person. For some reasons, when dads do that, the daughter takes it differently. The moon will set on you and mom will become the one to give “solid” advice and mentor her while you will give her daddy advice that sounds more like it is coming from your heart than your head. Leaving home is the best thing to happen because Lauren (although she already knows she has great parents) will see you both in a different light and she will love you even more.

Every talk on the phone, every visit with her will make you shed a tear that she isn’t with you, but you will be so proud of the woman she is becoming that, as we parents do, we sacrifice everything for them…even if it is our heart. Hang in there Scott. This is a wonderful time.

Oh, my second daughter. She’s at Western Carolina and will graduate (hopefully, this spring). She took 4 years to get through Valencia but what a ride that was. Anyway, she’s my tough cookie and even though she didn’t like to wear her heart on her sleeve when she was younger, now at 23, she is more than happy to share her heart with us. And of course, daddy is the one she can’t wait to share crazy experiences with. I’m the one that keeps her on track. We are soooo proud of her too but we miss her and hate that she is in North Carolina…too far to make a quick trip for lunch or dinner as we did with our oldest at FSU. It is harder this time because I can’t get my “fix” of seeing her when I need it. Not as easily anyway.

You know you will be fine but this is the toughest of days for you and Fran. And you know what else? This is tough on Lauren too. Excited to be entering this phase, she is moving away from her comfort zone and it will take some adjusting. When she comes home to visit, she will be so happy the first couple of days. But you will soon see that she is even more anxious to go back home (that hurts…college becomes her home) to her independent life. She will work hard for herself but she knows she is working hard to make you and Fran proud. You have raised a really great girl. Aren’t we listeners silly to think we know you so well?

I wish you, Fran and Lauren the best. By the end of this semester you will have adjusted. Cry and let her know you cry for her. It only cements you into her heart that much more! I guarantee…you are the most important people in the world to her.

I was listening this morning and I love the fact that you at least tried coffee and that you might even like it! Good Job! It is indeed a coffee world and I am a coffee girl. Also, I was just getting out of my car when the whole toning shoe conversation started, so I just wanted to say that I do own a pair of the Sketcher Shape Ups. I’m an xray tech and on my feet ALOT. I don’t think they are toning anything! BUT, they have in fact help alleviate my lower back pain. I reccommend them to people all the time. LOVE EM’ But yea, not really for guys!

Have a great weekend!

I love your show and listen every morning on my way to school. I’m a Brevard teacher and just have to comment about your discussion this morning about real-life math and the dimensions of the tables for your party. I loved the connection of relating math to life and finally finding an example of how we use math. I tell my students (6th graders) that every day. However, got to give you a bit of a hard time and ask you a question. Are you sure the circumference was 60 inches? That would be a pretty small table. Think about it, approximately 20″ diameter isn’t very big…I’m thinking the diameter is probably 60″ which would be a nice large table that would sit about 6-8 people. Hum….

Scott,
Let me start by saying that I love your show. I have listened to it for many, many years.
Considering your curse for interviewing people and their losing whatever it is they are doing- Dancing With the Stars, etc., why would you interview someone from the Magic???? We want Magic to win!!! If the Magic lose we will have to hold you accountable :0)
Thanks and have a wonderful day,
Missy Phillips
