Windy Tuesday!

I hate the wind!! We were teased with such a beautiful weekend and now we are back to spring in Idaho. Wind and mud!

Kate University Golf will go on as planned tonight at Shadow Valley Golf Course. They have a covered instructional area!

On OPP today Kate and Tommy(Mike is out sick) had an e-mail from a woman whose daughter is 11. A boy and girl in her 6th grade class were caught making out at a party. So Mom wanted to know when is the appropriate time to have THE TALK? Here are some of the comments the 13 Mix 106 Listeners made:

  • I also have a 6th grader & feel for this mother. In my opinion it is too young to worry about these things but..... last Friday at my other daughters Elementary School Carnival I saw behind a tree a girl my oldest goes to school with making out w/ a boy. I was shocked. So I had a general discussion w/ my 6th grader. It is too young but I understand that in today's society it is necessary. Now I did not go into great detail but I told her if she has any questions to ask. The American Girl Series has fantastic books that answer all kinds of questions. I suggest that the mother go & purchase some of these books.

  • We have told them that even though they think their friends know everything they really don't. If the mother really wants to be open and honest with her daughter possibly asking her if she has any questions or what exactly she has already heard could open up the conversation to go a little more smoothly. I did the talk that way with my daughter and just told her to ask away.
  • I never had ‘the talk’ and neither did any of my siblings and we all were sexually active WAY before we should have been because we explored. We had questions, other kids were doing it and mom never said it was right or wrong or what ‘it’ was. We wanted to know and obviously couldn’t – or didn’t think we could- go to mom for answers so we figured it out on our own.

Kate really must be the jinx of Dump the Pump! With Mike gone today it was the perfect opportunity to find out if Mike was the pump jinx. Nope, it's still Kate. The pump dumped caller #106 at $30. DANG IT! And with the winning amounts being doubled this week, it can't get any better! Well I guess if the pump doesn't dump you then that would be better.

Mike and Kate annual On The Salmon trip is on sale now! Get all the details HERE.
