Ticked Off-If you have something that's driving you nuts and you need to get it off your chest, share your "Ticked Off" with us! Go to http://www.mix1051.com/pages/84344.php? and tell us why you're so angry.

Ellen's Dog-Have you see the story about Ellen and her dog from Mutts and Moms? She took in a dog, her cats didn't get along with the dog, so Ellen gave the dog to a loving family. Well, apparently she's not allowed to do that. If she can't take care of the dog, then it has to go back to the shelter. The owner of Mutts and Moms went with the police and got the dog back. The whole ordeal really upset Ellen and she was crying on her show yesterday. You can YouTube the video of it and get more info at http://www.tmz.com/

$25 Pyramid-I played this morning at we got all 5 (not without a little holdup)! The Pyramid jackpot is back to $25.

Getting Paid!

How often do you get paid? Some get paid weekly, biweekly, and others monthly. I couldn't imagine getting paid on a monthly basis. It must be difficult to budget being paid monthly. I remember when I worked in the restaurant business and I got tipped out nightly and I would have that cash burning a hole in my pocket. When it came time to get my paycheck for that big $40, I'd be broke because the cash would be spent.

Fact or Fiction-Janet won again this morning and has $80 that you can steal tomorrow morning!
