Here is how it works: Rosa and Michele will send a message to all of their Facebook friends before going live on television. The message will have a link to this blog and to information that's only available on the web. Good Morning Bloggers! Do you pay attention to flight instructions when you fly? I've got to admit that I stopped paying attention to flight instructions years ago. I feel bad admitting it, but I'm being sincere. I know I'm not alone because I've seen many people do the same. Some of the passengers on the plane said they just knew they had to get off... and they did! I always travel with a book and usually lose myself in the text and don't pay attention to flight attendants. I've never had a close call on a plane so I have been taking it for granted. ... Good Morning, Bloggers! This season do you Shop or Chop your wish list? Everything seems to be so expensive these days that Christmas could break the bank for some families. But there is no need to break hearts; there are plenty of homemade gift ideas everywhere that deliver the same message: I love you! But if you are charging your credit card this season here is an important note. The Federal Reserve delivered a very strong message to credit card companies yesterday in an effort to protect credit card consumers. The new rules shield consumers from increases in interest rates... 3:45 am Good Morning, bloggers:) I have great news from the Texas Medical Center. This is truely one of the best Christmas gifts that is out there, LIFE! We all know someone who suffers, who has survived, or who unfortunately has died from cancer. But, thanks to the great research that is going on HERE in Houston we can say, 'CANCER PATIENTS ARE LIVING LONGER!' The research of, Dr. Anil Sood, M.D., from The University of Texas M.D. ...
The word of the... 4:50 am We just got a call from our assignment desk. A major accident just happened on highway 59 and Little York. So, we are loading our gear back into our news unit and into our live truck. Here's what we know: We are on our way... I'll have an update soon. Here's a link to transtar. It has the... Good Morning, Houston! We are on our way to North Houston. A group of people were arrested over night for cockfighting. I'm gathering information from our news desk and from people we have out on the field. I'll have an update as soon. See you on TV in about 45 minutes. @-`-- Rosa Flores P.S. Check my comments section for updates Here's a summary: A cockfighting ring lost its bets yesterday when authorities busted into the makeshift gambling operation. Authorities arrested 6 people, seized 175 roosters, and confiscated 60 vehicles. About 80 people were making ... Good morning:) OPEC didn't have a meeting, the stars didn't align, and God didn't mandate the reduced price of gas. But, paying $1.51 for gas feels like a miracle! We're working on a story about low gas prices. About a year ago we were paying $1.30 more! Believe me, I remember those days... thinking Christmas is around the corner and I can't afford to buy GAS for myself for Christmas. Apparently the reduction in price is due to a decrease in demand. Here's the gas breakdown: The lowest price ... Good Morning! Huge snowflakes fell in my area last night. It was awesome! But, this morning all the snow is gone:( So, Michele and I are headed north on I59 towards the thicker snow. We're told Liberty County has about 3 inches on the ground. I'm really hoping there's enough on the ground to build a snowman:) See you on TV in a bit. We are going on air at 4:30 am this morning. @-`--Rosa Flores The official 11 News Snowman Competition :):) >> Continue reading: In Liberty County: Snow :):):) I rushed from my live shot location in the Montrose area to the courthouse at 1400 Lubbock. Dealing with traffic was easy. Finding the place was not. But, I parked, went through the metal detector and found courtroom 6 with time to spare. Life is expensive and making ends meet is not easy. Affording breakfast means forking out at least $2.00 for coffee and another $1.89 for a pastry. Gas prices are on a decline (thank goodness) if it wasn't for that, driving to a coffee shop to buy coffee could cost double that amount. All this to say that when times are tough any little help can go a long way. So, wouldn't it be nice to get something for free? ... |
