REALLY.  If you have an aversion to GROSS pictures,
don’t look at this.  Just move on!  Ok.  Explanation. 
My friend Robert is a hockey player,  and I guess they
are pretty tough athletes (that’s why we like hockey
players,  right?).  SO, on the night of January 18th,
I get a call–”meet me at Rose, I’ve been cut”. 
Translation: “My ankle got sliced open by another
guy’s skate”.   Here comes the gross part!!!!!!!!

NICE CUT, RIGHT?

Now retired skate.  Look at the laces……

BACK on the ice, Jan. 25th.  One week later!
Seriously!  This is not the pros Robert, take a week
OFF I say.  NOT. 

Remember how excitied I was about riding the Zamboni machine at the Rocky Mountain Rage hockey game last week? Here are the pictures to prove I did it, boy that was fun.  I’m going back on the 15th of February and they are going to let me drive the thing… WOW.  If I’m good at it I think I have a future when radio says good-bye.  Thanks again to Jennifer Reifman and gang with the Rage…

I got this email from a listener…Thank You!

Good Morning Denise,

I feel bad when I hear you getting dissed for not cooking so here is a receipe that is mostly shopping.

Denise’s Chicken (if they like it) or French Chicken if they don’t

from the deli area of the grocery store

1 – 2 pkgs of pre-dooked grilled chicken strips

1 pkg pre-cooked pasta

1 container Allouette (garlic is best-don’t use one of the sweet ones) light or regular

from bakery

1 loaf french bread

from freezer section

1 bag frozen veggies (steamers are the easiest)

At home

Prepare pasta and veggies per directions

In a skillet (frying pan)

add Allouette to chicken and warm until Allouette is melted – you can thin (stretch with fat free sour cream or fat free 1/2 & 1/2)

Slice bread

Now- if this is just for the kids you can use any veggie they’ll eat and can serve as 3 different items or mix pasta & chicken before serving

Use a fancier veggie -like asparegus- if it’s for adults and you can even add capers to the top of the chicken platter to make it look REALLY fancy.

WELL, IS IT?  Ha ha ha.  I am cracking
myself up here!  This is what dentists say
on the subject of FRESH BREATH!!!!!!!!!!
1)  Brush 2 full minutes 3 x a day.  The
average 13 seconds is not enough!!!!!!!
2)  Drink 8 glasses of water a day to replenish
oxygen-rich saliva.
3)  Breathe through your nose to avoid dry mouth!
4)  Avoid alcohol.  It dries the mouth!!!
5)  Floss every day!
6)  Avoid dairy, it converts to sulphur compounds
by bacteria.
7)  Limit coffee.  Acid helps bacteria reproduce
faster.  Tea is a better choice.
8)  Clean your tongue. 
9)  Chew a piece of gum before you GO IN
for the kiss on Valentine’s Day!!!!!!!!!

Hey Guys, I promised a picture of Sadie Annabelle Huston… well here she is!!.. what a beauty.  I know I’m just PaPoo but she is wonderful.  We are going out this weekend to see her in person.  Stand-by for more pictures.

Found this while reading Glamour…good tips.“Lose” five pounds by matching your pants or skirt, stockings and shoes. You’ll seem 10 pounds lighter if they’re all black! Is the one-color thing too tame for your taste? Slip on a pair of bright shoes to shake things up.Full, round shapes on top andbottom will make you look…full and round. So always accentuate your smallest part by pairing your more generously cut pieces with a snugger mate. Balance a full skirt with a fitted shirt, a flowy blouse with pencil-thin jeans, a miniskirt with a longer top.Jackets that are hip-length with tailored lines will look sleek; ones that are too baggy or that pull are figure-flattery disasters. Tapered jackets will always whittle your waist.The tailored cut of a pencil skirt (we love that it’s not skintight through the hips) makes all bodies look sleek. A-line ones work wonders on anyone whose thighs are a little heavier.Waist-length cardigans tend to shorten your body while long, hip-grazing versions make torsos seem long.Ever wonder why you see this look again and again on celebs, in ads, in magazines? Because, done right, it makes every woman look longer and leaner. Most flattering: straight-leg or boot-cut jeans that sit on your hips (as opposed to at your waist or below your hipbone) and cover your instep when you’re in heels.

Try one with a little nylon stretch that comfortably pulls you in. Wider belts instead of skinny ones will actually make you look smaller.

Anything that cuts you off at the waist adds pounds. You’ll look slimmer if your top and bottom meet just below the waist.It’s not as slimming as black, but it’s such a nice break from it—and if you keep the look fairly monochromatic, it can actually work nearly as well for you. Proportion is key; a loose white blouse with billowy sleeves begs for slim white jeans, while a -length white coat calls for simple but bold-hued separates. 

Look who showed up before his show last Friday
night!  DARRELL HAMMOND from Saturday
Night Live.

He was so warm and wonderful!  I am such a fan
of his impressions, gawd!  Hope he comes BACK to
play Denver’s Comedy Works again soon!!!!!!!!!
What a thrill for me to meet him!!!!!

Great news today, our baby Sadie finally arrived at 2am this morning.  Our son Sam and his great wife Sarah are the proud parents.  Sadie is 7 lbs 9 ounces, 19 inches long and head full of black hair, which is Sarah’s color.  As you might know, she was a week late and we were getting a bit nervous.  I have to admit Carol and I are spoiled, our first 2 granchildren were born here and we were right there for the whole event.  Well, Sam and Sarah live in the Bay area and we have not been that involved this time.  They have done a great job in calling us with updates and emailing pictures.  It’s not the same as having them right down the road.  This was really tough on Carol, so needless to say she had me book a flight for Friday to get out there and meet Sadie.  I will have pictures soon to share, in the mean time I will have to show Sam how to change a diaper.  Ok I wasn’t the best, but I tried.  If they were really bad ones I would just hose them down and hope it would wash off!!   KIDDING!!!.. I’ll keep you posted.  Thanks for your concern.
