November 2005 ArchivesHere's a fast story synopsis: Jammin 95.5 has a morning show called the Playhouse. The General Manager said a listener called and got them started talking about this legal herb called Salvia Divinorum. If you smoke it, it can cause hallucinations. So, the Playhouse had one of its crew smoke it this morning to see what would happen. They talked about it on the air... and eventually the guy did smoke it. He said it didn't do anything... Okay.. you found your way to this blog. Thanks for checking it out! Some of my older entries are below if you care to read them. Some are about health and some are off topic. You can check the licensure status of any acupuncturist in Oregon by visiting the Oregon Board of Medical Examiners search website at: http://www.bme.state.or.us/search.html The following link... Oooph. It's Monday. While I'm not typically a huge fan of Monday's, this one is a little better than most. I actually have a special report running tonite that I'm pretty excited about.

So, tonite we just flat ran out of time and had to drop a story at the last minute (about :30 before I went on the air). I'll drop in the story for you to check out below. Ignore the CAPS as that's how we type it into the program where we write our stories. Little insider tidbit, first.. anytime you see me reading a series of shorter health stories (as opposed to doing one longer one) you should know that I most likely ... "Pushed to Extremes" was the name the promotions department settled on for my story that aired tonite. They have the unenviable task of coming up with a catchy title that sums up an entire story in two or three words AND rolls off the tongue.
