I'm not sure what's more surprising, the fact that someone spent time and money to study this or that they didn't know it already. Anyway, hold on to your seats because according to a new study from the University of Buffalo, we now know for sure that mixing alcohol and energy drinks makes college students more likely to...
July 18, 2012 In the coming years we may see more female CEOs in Tyler and Longview, and more women leaders of schools and organizations in East Texas. If nothing else, this will give you something to argue about with your co-workers today at work.
July 17, 2012 Broadway Square Mall in Tyler and other retails stores around East Texas will be packed the weekend of Aug. 17-19. That's the time frame for this year's Sales Tax Holiday shopping weekend.
July 12, 2012 Now that we're half way through summer, fall is just around the corner and fashion magazines are betting on high profile stars to help them move their fall fashion editions that will be hitting grocery store check out lines in September.
July 12, 2012 Every year Kidd Kraddick in the Morning takes a group of kids that suffer from a chronic or terminal illness to Walt Disney World. This year's trip is scheduled for Nov. 8-12, but the trip can't happen without the kids! Applications are now being accepted.
July 9, 2012 Most of us have done it. We've posted a picture to our Facebook profiles and tagged a friend, and that picture doesn't exactly show the friend's best side. Sometimes it's a drunk photo, sometimes it's goofy, and sometimes friends just don't like it and say, "Why in the world did you post THAT? My hair isn't right. I look fat. I don't have makeup on. Thanks a lot."
With the stress from wedding planning and the pressure of being a new bride, most newlyweds will gain anywhere between five and 12 pounds. However, new studies indicate new brides will drop the extra weight plus more within the first six months of marriage. Why? Researchers indicate having sex and LOTS of it not only burns calories, but it also relieves stress. Need more reasons to get down and dirty?
July 3, 2012 Smart phones are part of us now. Do you always have it with you, and checking work email on it is second nature? I probably check my phone about every 10 minutes and I hate myself for it.
June 26, 2012 After reading more about the Boys and Girls Clubs of East Texas, I wish I was a kid again! It sounds like they’re learning some valuable life skills — even how to change a flat tire. That means 9-year olds who hang out at the Boys and Girls Club this summer, will come in handier in a pinch than most adults.
And one super cool new attraction for the Boys and Girls Club just opened!
June 25, 2012 Summer is great in Texas, on boats and at the pool. It’s all fun and games until somebody gets a nasty, blistering sunburn.
I got one of those several years ago at Lake Travis in Austin. My back was bare while I was on a boat with friends, I didn’t put an ounce of sunscreen on it, and I laid on a raft for about two hours. The next day, if it had been the time period where it was cool to type OMG, that would have been my choice of acronyms. Or perhaps IMBOF (is my back on fire). And yes, I made that up.
What’s our skin cancer risk in Texas?
June 18, 2012 This time last year we were feeling the heat here in East Texas with 100-plus degree days. Add to that about 95 percent of the state of Texas was under a burn ban and that put a damper on Fourth of July celebrations. What a difference a year makes! It's a bit wetter although just as humid, but we're able to shoot our fireworks this year (so far at least)!
June 13, 2012 When performing the national anthem at the Super Bowl this past February, Kelly Clarkson was nervous, not because she was performing it in front of a world wide audience, she was nervous because she was trying to impress a dude.
