Greg Tillotson — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:03:14 +0000

We talked this on the KBear Morning Show about the difficulties that Steven Perry has been going through lately. So I did a little digging on the internet to get the story. Now, full disclosure, I have never been a fan of Steve Perry -but most of that is based on jealousy. I remember in [...]

Big "Change" Coming In My Life

Greg Tillotson — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:22:37 +0000

I realized this morning that I have some big changes coming very soon.

Looked over the news headlines, read the sports, checked for funny anecdotal stories and then pulled the [...]

Greg Tillotson — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 12:21:17 +0000

If you’ve been following my blogs over the past couple of weeks, no doubt you are familiar with my recent escapades with a shoulder injury, a failure at my first attempt at an MRI and my overall fear of needles. I am happy to report that yesterday afternoon I successfully took the first injection to treat two ruptured [...]

Just Another Tuesday Afternoon…NOT

Greg Tillotson — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 00:51:10 +0000

Last week I finally passed the MRI test. I am not sure that it was such a good thing to pass. Tomorrow afternoon I begin the first of a series of three injections into my spine to treat two bulging discs that were discovered in the C4 and C5 area of my spine. At least [...]

Success In The MRI Hamster Tube

Greg Tillotson — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 01:17:41 +0000

I’ve never been a fan of drugs that mask pain. And as for drugs that alter your reality, I can count on one hand the times I have experienced them. With today being the second time ever. But I am happy to announce that with the help of a litle white pill called Lorazopam, I [...]

Epic Fail!

Greg Tillotson — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:19:15 +0000

For the last three months I have had a pretty good pain in my left should. At times the pain travels down my arm to my wrist – the best way I can describe it would be like a constant burn with a needle. Nothing has made it better. I finally made the time to [...]

Supersized Yams

Greg Tillotson — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 13:33:36 +0000

Okay, I am going Seinfeld on you for a moment, but what's with the “one size fits all” cans of yams? We usually get fresh sweet potatoes for our Christmas meal. Being that we just moved and still are adjusting to the new place, my wife and I decided to take the easy way and get a can of yams

Public Urinals Stress Men Out

Mike Adams — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 00:30:22 +0000

Men tend to get stressed out about using the urinal in a public restroom, according to a recent study from the University of London. Etiquette seems to dictate that, in a side-by-side urinal setting, merely making eye contact can lead to a fight. Researchers say that men, more so than women, suffer from insecurity and [...]

Cooler This Week But Wild Fire Danger Remains [AUDIO]

Livin Large Larry — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 18:06:54 +0000

You will notice a little cooler temperature today and for the rest of the work week actually. 70's and 80's primarily. With that said keep in mind the Gazette reports that Red Flag warnings are still in place:
While the temperatures will be cooler, that doesn't mean the summer's seemingly-endless streak of dangerous fire weather is over. The NWS has issued a red flag warning for the lower half of Eastern Montana, from Billings to the east, until 9 p.m., cautioning of low humidity and gusty winds of as much as 30 mph before a wind shift hits as a cold front moves into the area.
