Sheila Says: Here’s How To Save On Your Electric Bill In This Heat

On days like we’ve had recently, your air conditioner is probably working overtime, but there are ways to save on your electric bill:

  1. Be sure to change the air filter.
  2. Use fans. They’re much cheaper to use and they help circulate cold air.
  3. Stop cooling rooms you don’t use. If there’s an extra bedroom you’re not using close the vents in that room and close the door.
  4. Keep blinds and curtains closed. Nothing heats up a room like the sun blasting through.

Sheila Says: Miss Cleo Wasn’t Really Jamaican

The psychic Miss Cleo passed away yesterday morning of colon cancer. Remember her from the 90’s late night TV Commercials? She promised callers that she’d use “the power of the tarot to show you the way.” In an interview one time she said, “I come from a family of spooky people & voodoo.” Did you know her Jamaican accent was fake? She made her living 30 years with it tho. Miss Cleo was 53.

Sheila Says: I’m Swamped With Home Remedies

Thanks for all of the home remedies and get well wishes due to my scratchy voice. I’ve been fighting this upper respiratory infection off for about 6 days now. The doc has given me antibiotics. I haven’t addressed it much on the air but anyone who listens can tell I do not sound my usual self and some have even thought it was a different person on the morning show.  My listeners (along with my doc) are trying to get me back to normal with tea & honey, peppermints, cough drops and lots of love. Thanks for sticking with me and hopefully I won’t be hurting your ear drums with my squeaky voice much longer. Wellness has to be around the corner.

Sheila Says: Remembering Robin Williams On His Birthday

Today would have been Robin Williams’ 65th birthday. Whether you loved him as Mork from Ork or for his stand up comedy, maybe your favorite was “Good Morning Vietnam” or “Good Will Hunting” where he won an Oscar for that roll. I’m sure you probably have a favorite Robin Williams character in your mind. Happy Birthday, we still miss you and your talent, Robin.

Sheila Says: Look At What This Man Was Driving Around With At Night

Police pulled a Canadian man over for traveling 65 mph in a 45 zone and for driving without headlights. You know what he was using to aid him in driving at night? He was wearing an L.E.D. headlamp on his forehead!! Shining the lamp through the windshield to view the streets. He was charged with speeding and operating an unsafe vehicle. Some people! LOL
