Okay are you ready for it???….

Doctor McDreamy is leaving Grey’s Anatomy after next season.
Dempsey- the idea of checking out of Seattle Grace after seven years is “bittersweet because it’s been great and a great part of my life. But I can’t see me doing it anymore.” Ellen P. (Meredith Grey) is also  thinking about bailing when her contract ends next season.
Writer Shondra may view this next season as the ‘Last Grey’s Anatomy’ season for all. But if Ellen & Doc McDreamy both leave, then there really isn’t a ‘Grey’s A’, especially if the character the show is about is gone.

Pink is about to have that baby any second! She looks so happy!

1st word the Doctor said when Matthew finally came out..
‘D*mn’. That might seem a bit wrong, but not a surprise if
the mother you were a doctor for was in labor for 2 days and
finally had to have a cesarean. The doc pulled out Matthew Anthony
Maldanado- all 14 lbs of him! Yep 14 lbs. The average weight of a new born is 7.5lbs. Matthew was almost double the size. Can I get a ‘D#mn!’ Story here!

Matthew didn’t make a record though, that sticks with a canadian
women in 1878 who gave birth to a 23lb baby (Double D#mn!) !!  Wonder what word the doc/midwife said then???

I didn’t realize the GB of records have gone back that far. That deserves a ‘D$mn’ too!

6:15 AM: Fact or bull fact—tornadoes. 2% of all tornadoes account for 70% of tornado related deaths. The stronger a tornado is, the longer it lasts—and the longest lasting one was over 3 hours. Tornadoes most commonly happen between 3 and 9 pm. 90% of tornadoes in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise. People living in mobile homes are 15 times more likely to die in a tornado than people in regular homes.  The odds of being killed by a tornado are 1 in 5 million. This year is the first year that more than 360 people were killed in tornadoes since 1975.

6:45 AM: Happy Birthday today to Clint Eastwood (81), Joe Namath (68), Tom Beringer (62), Chris Elliot (51), Leah Thompson (50), Brooke Shields (46), and Collin Farrell (35). A man in Bronx New York was arrested. He was so irritated with Charlie Sheen that he started making threats to a local CW affiliate station that shows Two and a Half Men Episodes all the time. He threatened to blow up that station if they didn’t stop showing the episodes, and he was arrested. A drunk driver crashed into a family’s home in Florida. The woman crashed into the room where two little boys were sleeping, they were ejected from the house, and the drunk driver told the dad she would help find his kids if he paid her $1,000. The boys were fine and were found in the backyard under some debris, and the driver was arrested on 4 charges.

The ones our listeners added;  “she got really fat”, and “she used to be a Dallas Cowboy’s Cheerleader”.

7:50 AM: On Friday Alex correctly predicted the winner of the Indy 500 which was this weekend. That’s pretty amazing considering there were 33 cars in the race.

#1 Reason for this weekend.. Remembrance of
the fallen ones and those who are still giving
their all!! THANK YOU!! YOU ROCK!!

Memorial Day weekend has also become the ‘Unofficial’
start of Summer (official 1st day 6/21) … with plans for fun
with family…with friends.. eating out, going to movies,
heading to the beach.  Ted laughed at me yesterday when
I said shopping.  Shopping is HUGE on Memorial Day Weekend.
You can run across lots of Great Deals!!
The ‘AAA’ Memorial Day Forecast on everything Memorial Day WKND
says that 43% of peeps go shopping on Memorial Day Weekend.
There’s lots of other cool stats too..

-Memorial Day Holiday Travel Period
For purposes of this forecast the Memorial Day holiday travel period is defined as trips that include travel of 50 miles or
more away from home during the 5 day period from Thursday, May 26 to Monday, May 30.

-34.9 million travelers will journey at least 50 miles from home

- air travel will increase over 11% this year, so much sure you get to the airport, check in, security early..
so you have plenty of time

- TX falls in the West South Central Area-
The Memorial Day holiday travel forecast calls for an increase of 0.7 percent in West South Central (WSC) region holiday
travel relative to last year. Travel is expected to remain relatively steady with record-high gas prices for this time of year
holding back demand on the heels of regional economic recovery. Air and automobile travel are expected to rise by 12.1
percent and 0.7 percent, respectively, since Memorial Day 2010. About 10.4 percent of the WSC population is predicted
to travel this Memorial Day period, which is slightly less than the estimated national frequency of 11.1 percent

-average spent $692  and an average  25% will be spent on ‘SHOPPING” & ‘ENTERTAINMENT..

Here’s some shopping tips that need to follow too. I have a tendency to impulse buy  when
I’m out of town.

1. The HALT Method: This spending prevention plan is based on recognizing the underlying emotions behind retail therapy and encourages consciously considering feelings of Hunger, Anger, Loneliness or Tiredness (HALT) before buying something in an attempt to fill one or many of those needs. It’s the reason you shouldn’t go to the grocery store when you’re hungry, and it’s why a new pair of shoes seems like a necessity the day you get dumped.

2. The Stranger Test: This is a terrific means for reminding yourself that a dollar is a dollar is a dollar. Picture a stranger offering you the cash value of the item you’re considering buying, or the item itself. Would you take the cash or the item? If you’re dying for a $3 cup of coffee, you may stick with the plan. If you’re eying a $600 handbag, then realize if a stranger handed you $600, it’s a couple of car payments, you might think twice about splurging on the purse.

3. The $100 Rule: It’s a simple idea: The higher the price of an item, the more you should think before buying it. Specifically, take the potential expenditure and divide it by $100 to get the total number of days you should think it over. For example, a $300 grill would be contemplated for three days, but you’d give a couple of weeks thought to it before buying a $1,400 laptop.

Stores where Big Bargains can be found..

Major retailers in standalone stores and traditional malls are starting to unveil their Memorial Day plans. DailyFinance will continue to update this list, so let us know if you spot or score any exceptionally good deals.

Walmart (WMT): The everyday low price champ will stay true to its mantra — look for compelling deals on everything from beach to barbecue gear and rock-bottom food prices.

Macy’s (M): We got in touch with Macy’s and they’ve tipped us off that there will be a series of two-day specials on luggage, blenders, men’s polo shirts, women’s sandals, and select bras. Standard Macy’s fare.

Sears (SHLD): Its six-day Memorial Day sale began Thursday. Watch for name-brand appliance discounts and heavy Lands End merchandising, complimented by fact that Lands End bathing suit catalogs landed in old-fashioned mailboxes this week.

Home Depot (HD): If you’re looking to get some work done around the house, they’re having a Memorial Day paint sale with $5 per gallon off for paint and stain.

Hollister (ANF): All swimwear for “dudes” and “Bettys” is 30% off. The bikinis are adorable and the men’s bathing suits seem to be well-constructed enough to hold up over time.

L.L. Bean: Offering 70% off select footwear including trendy and sporty sandals for a limited time.
