RAINYDOG commented on Doug Kimsey's video 'The History of Thanksgiving'

On the history channel last year or the year before was a presentation of when the pilgrims first landed. They were so starved etc and they found food buried underground and they raided the food. The buried food was actually the food storage place...

11/23/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-RICHER THAN YOU THINK

I went to the ATM today to get money.

As I stood in line, a fellow came up to stand in line behind me. He said to a man he seemed to know who was walking up at the same time, "I ran out of money."

I finished getting money from the ATM as the gentleman behind me stepped up. A thought crossed my mind. I turned and said to him, "You didn't run out of money. Running out of money is when there is none in the bank, you can't get any out of...>>Read more...

11/19/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-THE WINDS OF FATE

Life can be boiled down to a couple of easy axioms as far as I'm concerned: live in the "is" and not in the "was"; and when it comes to conflict, worry less about what the other person/situation is doing (ie what's out of your control) and more about what you can do to overcome and thrive. We all experience change, we all experience conflict and strife. I promise you, by abiding these two things...there's not a whole lot that will get you down. And if...Read more...

11/18/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-THE GREATEST GOLFER IN THE WORLD

"Who's the greatest golfer in the world?"

That's the question the golf instructor asked my son. As I walked in the door, the golf instructor recognized me. He was the same instructor who taught golf to my late father. He taught me. I was bringing my son to be taught.

He looked at my son, not quite five, and asked him a question that anyone following the golf world would know. He expected the universal answer. One man has...Read more...

11/17/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL

by Steve Goodier

A little boy and girl were singing their favorite carol in church the Sunday before Christmas. The boy concluded "Silent Night" with the words, "Sleep in heavenly beans."

"No," his sister corrected, "not beans. Peas."

The story reminds me of the wonderful and hectic holiday season many of us are approaching soon.

Dave Garroway was, for many years, the host of the TODAY show on NBC television....Read more...

11/13/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-FOR A GLASS OF MILK

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.

He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water.

She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly and then asked, "How much do I owe...read more...

11/12/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-WALKING WITH A TIGER

(from mountainwings.com)

It sounded like a rifle shot.

Each time Tiger Woods hit the ball from the tee the sound was distinct. Perhaps it was the metal driver that he used that gave the impact, that sharp metal “POW” that went through the crowd.

My son and I vainly searched the skies for his ball as it took off. We never saw a one. All that we could do was follow the crowd and watch the caddy as he finally stood over the ball several hundred...Read more...

11/11/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-ON THIS VETERAN'S DAY

In searching for a way, a message to express our gratitude on this Veteran's Day, I came across a very interesting quote from the 36th President of the United States, Lyndon Baines Johnson.

"We often say how impressive power is, but I do not find it impressive at all. The guns and the bombs, the rockets and the warships, are all symbols of human failure. They are necessary symbols. They protect what we cherish, but they are witness to human folly."...Read more...

11/10/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-A NEW SHIP OF PEACE, HOPEFULLY

I flipped on the TV this morning while working on the radio show, and on ESPN2, they were live from The USS New York. Just the site of it, docked in the New York's Harbor, brought tears to my eyes. If you haven't heard about this ship, it's bow was constructed using 7.5 million tons of steel from the rubble that was the twin towers of The World Trade Center.

7.5 million tons of steel...how many lives does that represent? How many police, fire & rescue, civilian, and military...Read more...

11/9/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-LETTING YOUR SOUL CATCH UP

by Steve Goodier

Did you know that practicing some form of relaxation is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself? Taking time each day to quiet your mind and breathe deeply, can make a big difference in how you feel throughout your day and into the night. And dedicating a day every week for mental and spiritual renewal is equally important.

We're told that the word "relax" has its origin in the Latin word "relaxare," which means "to...read more...

11/06/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers and factors. This includes age, height, eye and skin color, who your parents are, past stuff and present stuff that you can't change. Don't worry about what you cannot change.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. Who you are attached to will bless you up or mess you up. Make sure that YOU are a cheerful friend and not a grouch.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer,...Read more...

11/4/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN

by Joel Burke

Starting all over again is painful! It doesn’t matter whether you are six or sixty years old! I am the son of a preacher man and clearly know about the struggle of starting all over again. By the time I was 19, I had lived in 10 different cities! I would just start to make a few new friends and get settled into a routine when the dreaded word, “moving” would be mentioned.

There was a small element of excitement about...Read more...

11/3/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-IMPACT

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.

As I was walking, I saw a bunch of...

11/2/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-TRICK OR TREAT?

Will you get tricked or treated?

The dictionary defines trick as an act or a procedure intended to achieve an end by deceptive or fraudulent means. One of the definitions of treat is to give (someone or oneself) something pleasurable.

Often pleasure is considered the treat and the denial of pleasure the trick. The truth is often the reverse. Short term pleasure often results in long term pain.

A bag full of instant pleasure often rots out teeth, promotes...read more...

10/29/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-SO CONNECTED YET SO...

I was watching a commercial for digital TV when it hit me. We are so connected. 300 channels of television...remember when there were only ABC, NBC, and CBS?

There's internet that connects to the world, now at broadband speed, DSL and Cable move 50 times faster than modems two years ago. We have cell phones that keep you in touch no matter where you are, plus the minutes are cheaper and free at many times.

GPS tells you where you are anywhere on the face...Read more...

10/28/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-THE ROSE

James was a highly respected officer in the army. In his spare time, he liked to surf the net and talk to new people online.

He had been talking to a woman for some time now and had a sort of internet relationship with her. He had actually fallen in love with her. The only problem was that any time he asked her about sending a picture her response was "if you love me this
much then what I look like doesn't matter."...Read more...

10/27/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-ATTITUDE

Hey Charlie (and Debbie)

I enjoy your show...as a matter of fact I enjoy WSOC. Recently, one of your topics was about attitude. In the book The Ford Story by my friend Clifton Lambreth there is a quote from Charles Swindoll about attitude. Here it is:

"The longer I live, the more important I realize the impact of attitude on life. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than...Read more...

10/26/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-A BAD DAY

During the month of September, a dear friend of mine lost her husband suddenly in an accident. The tragedy was a shock to everyone.

This accident was sudden and certainly unexpected. It drove home the realization that you just don’t know when a loved one is no longer going to be with you. We sometimes take our love ones for granted, and we expect that they will be with us forever. However, as we all know, life does not work that way and sometimes we get a wake up call...Read more...

10/23/09 - SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-RISK

Students were worried as they looked at their papers with one single question. Define a "risk." How would you do that?

The students all started scribbling pages of answers except for one. He wrote one word: "This."

He got an A.

Life is about taking risks. It is very difficult to get anywhere without taking a few chances. This i...Read more...

SOMETHING TO HANG YOUR HAT ON-DON'T MESS WITH MOM

My son came home from school one day,
with a smirk upon his face.
He'd decided he was smart enough,
to put me in my place.

"Guess what I learned in Civics Two,
that's taught by Mr. Wright?
It's all about the laws today,
The "Children's Bill of Rights."...Read more...
