As I sit here at work snacking on Chex mix, I present this question to ponder: What are the jobs most at risk for weight gain? And good news: one Tyler group has plans to help us fight off the pounds.
With the kids out of school for the summer, they'll be spending a lot of time out on the neighborhood streets riding their bikes. With more kids and bikes on the road this summer, we as drivers have to pay closer attention but bikers have to be aware of the rules of the road too and be safe as well.
The Tyler Police Department has joined forces with Sam's Club in Tyler and are hosting a Bike Rodeo from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 9 at Sam's on Loop 323 in Tyler.
Since it's summer and your kids are stuck at home, the only thing they have to eat is what is in the pantry. They're going to want to snack all day and want to be entertained, so why not make it fun? Here are a list of some creative snacks that can give you a little quality time with your kids, all the while keeping them entertained and their stomachs happy.
Drive down Broadway in Tyler, the Loop in Longview or any street in East Texas or America for that matter, and you'll see dogs hanging out the window lapping up the unending rush of air as the car goes down the street. When it comes to our dogs in the car, most have free reign. They can ride in our laps, sit in the front seat, sit in the back window and even go from hanging out the driver's window to the passenger window. Seems pretty harmless right?
Already a breast cancer survivor, Sheryl Crow has revealed to the Las Vegas Review-Journal that she is dealing with another health problem, but not as serious.
"In November, I found out I have a brain tumor. But it's benign, so I don't have to worry about it. But it gives me a fit." (Las Vegas Review-Journal)
It's one of my family's favorite shows, and for the past few summers we've gotten into watching and following along with America's Got Talent on NBC. The show is in the middle of the audition phase and there have been some great talent displayed and some very laughable auditions, too! Last night the show was in Austin and there was one particular audition that was pretty touching and had just about everyone in the audience in tears.
Last week, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg held a press conference announcing the city would be proposing a ban on sugary drinks over 16 ounces from the city's restaurants, theaters, food vendors and arenas if passed by the Board of Health. Basically, if the city inspects a food establishment, they would fall under this new rule and could no longer sell sugary soft drinks larger than 16 ounces. However diet drinks and certain milk derived products and fruit juices wouldn't be under this restriction nor would grocery stores or certain convenience stores.
When you hear the phrase, "Transit of Venus," it sounds like it might be a band name or a good club with velvet ropes and a line out the door on a Saturday night. But it has nothing to do with pop culture. It really does have something to do with the planet Venus, and it's a rare event that we'll be able to witness tomorrow in Tyler.
I have to say I'm not very good at math, and I have no interest in trying to figure out what a 20 percent tip is on a $46.56 cent bill. I always make my spouse do the arithmetic. And you?
The Iron Man race is a race that challenges even the fit of the fit. Tyler Police officer Lt. Rusty Jacks was up to an Iron Man challenge a couple of weeks ago and completed it. I tip my hat to him because the Iron Man competition includes swimming, biking and running!
Texans went to the polls in droves yesterday to vote for their favorite candidate to get the party nomination for the general elections in November or vote in a county commissioner or elect a new sheriff and more. There were quite a few offices that went undecided because the candidates did not win the majority of the vote so run-off elections will be coming up July 31st. As the elections were approaching, I heard a lot of talk about the candidates and that got me thinking, it used to be taboo to talk about who you'd be voting for. So is that still true?
