She faked a kid for $$$! You've got to be kidding me!
Since I grew up in Albuquerque I always check the news to see what's going on in my hometown. Yesterday I was appalled when I read this story about a woman who collected thousands of dollars of child support from her ex-husband. Nothing out of the ordinary, right???? Well, it turns out the "child" never existed! She's a con! This woman even lured some kid into the court room to pose as her child! Of course her attorney tried to claim that she's delusional and unfit to stand trial. Luckily she's been found competent. The trial date hasn't been set yet.
I can't believe the lengths some people will go to for a lie. What's the biggest lie you've been told?

The Biggest Lie
Told my ex I had brain cancer so he wouldn't break up with me.

Lies
When I was in high school I told my ceramics teacher that I was pregnant and I had an appointment at planned parenthood. He obviously didn't want to hear about it. So he let me out of class. I ended up going to a party...it was senior ditch day. He cameup to me the next day and ask if I was okay... I was like "Yeah, why wouldn't I be.." then I remembered and added, "oh, not very many people know...thanks for asking!" I still feel bad about that lie!

Lies
I told my husband I was pregnant so that he would stop hanging out with his friends so much. Then I had to fake a miscarriage. I don't tell lies anymore. It's too complicated.

Gullible...
I dated a guy for FIVE years that had an "ex-wife" and 2 kids in another state and came to finally realize that it was not an EX!! It was traumatic and a huuuuuge lesson.

Lied to my whole family
I told my wife I was hunting. I was gone for a week with my girlfriend. Well, I was on the phone with my kids one night and they asked if I got anything. I told them I had a big buck in the back of my truck. When I was on my way home I realized that if Ididn't have a deer when I got home I better have a pretty good lie. I told them it was stolen out of the back of my truck when I went into a diner. Don't think my wife bought it. She hasn't really questioned me on it though.

Lie I was told
There is nothing worse then finding out your boyfriend is cheating on you, but when your boyfriend uses CHURCH as an excuse, you can pretty much guarantee he will be taking a very warm dive below when his time comes!

Lies
I know someone who moved in with his brother's exwife and when it came to tax time they each filed single head of household each claiming one of the kids.

Lie
My cousin and his wife were having issues, he really thought she was cheating on him. He went and had a vesectomy behind her back, about 4 months after the fact, she said that they were "expecting"...He asked for a DNA test on the baby once it was born, and she didn't understand why - he told her about the vasectomy - she was humiliated, and yes, DNA showed that the baby was not his! He got divorced, and ended up with the house and her new Porsche!

Here's a WHOOPER
I had a friend in college that told me she had a daughter with Joel Madden from Good Charlotte. She even had a friend make up a screen name that looked like something he would have and all the guys from "the band" used the screen name. I later found out that she is a cronic liar and she lies about many many things! I even have a friend now that really does know Good Charlotte and before Nichole Richie and Joel had their baby she didn't have any other kids.

Thank you! It was a nice surprise when you handed Mike and I a couple of coupons. You saved me $25 dollars on my mini-shopping spree yesterday! What's more, you brightened my day! It's refreshing when people go out of their way to do something nice for you. Sadly, it doesn't happen as often as it should.
You made me think, we should all make it our goal to do something nice for a stranger from time to time. It's not that difficult. You could help an elderly person with their groceries. Or, slow down (instead of hitting the gas) so people can actually merge into traffic. The smallest gesture of kindness can really make a difference!
What's the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for you?
Do you like your significant other's friends? Or, do you think they are complete morons? Take a look at the email I got yesterday...
Weslea, My husband and I just got into the biggest fight ever! I'm upset because he thinks that my friends are morons. We've all known each other since grade school. We try to get together about twice a month and my husband has made it clear that he won't be taking part in the upcoming get together. He told me that they were beneath me, that they all acted like idiots. He's just mad because last time we all got together two of the husbands went on a "walk" and came back high. He didn't like the fact that they could do something like that and then drive their wives and kids home. I don't like to fight with my husband, but I don't want to give up my friends. What should I do?
What do you think? Have you ever had to give up friends? Have you ever fought with your partner because they don't like your friends?
One of the largest custody cases in US history! Today 416 children will go before a judge in Eldorado Texas in one of the largest custody cases in our nation's history. The children were removed almost two weeks ago, after a 16-year-old girl called an abuse hot line claiming her husband, a 50-year-old member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, beat and raped her. The girl has yet to be identified by investigators. Texas officials believe the children were being physically and sexually abused or were in imminent danger of such abuse. Click here for the entire article.
This story has been all over the news this week. Some think that the children should not have been separated from their mothers. Others think that Texas state officials are just doing their jobs. What are your thoughts on this?
Weslea,
My girlfriend doesn't understand why I won't eat at chain restaurants. It's to the point where we fight every time we are trying to decide where we want to eat. I don't mean to be a food snob, but I'm a chef. I know good food. I love to make good food and I LOVE to eat good food. Why on earth would I want to lower my standard to eat at a chain restaurant or worse yet a fast food joint. That's just gross. I feel bad that I'm always fighting with my girl over something that is so stupid, but I refuse to eat bad food. Are there others like me? My girlfriend swears I'm the most stubborn person in the world. I just want to know if there are other people who refuse to compromise on the things they are passionate about?
Thanks,
Dennis (the food snob) from Greece
Well? Is there anything that you are a snob about? Do you refuse to drink generic beer? Maybe you will only drink certain types of coffee? Or, maybe you only buy designer clothing. Tell me what you are snobby about.
I was baby sitting a little boy a few years ago. I took him to the park, he was playing on the swings and running around in the grass. He was just having a grand old time. All of the sudden I notice he's chewing on something. I run over to him and ask, "What are you eating?" He very excitedly tells me, "I found a raisin!!!" It was too late, he had already swallowed. I felt like the worlds worst babysitter. To this day I hope and pray that the little brown thing he found in the grass actually was a raisin.
Have you ever felt awful about something that happened on your watch? Maybe you felt incompetent (like I did for letting that poor kid eat grass raisins)? Tell me your stories...
What's WBEE Buzzin' About
Upstate Onstage Listen to 92.5 WBEE every Sunday night from 9-10pm!!
I moved here right after I graduated from the University of New Mexico. Having lived in the desert my whole life, I was in a state of shock when I moved to a place that had trees and green grass. In New Mexico the grass is brittle and mostly a brown color. Shortly after I moved here my boyfriend followed suit. He drove 1800 miles across the country with our cat, Cally, in the back seat so that we could be together. I can only imagine all the unhappy meowing that took place! It paid off though, we've been engaged since July!
Now that she's all settled Cally loves Rochester. But not quite as much as she likes begging for treats!
Be sure to check out the "I Love My Country K-9, Kitty and Critter Club." Every month one lucky pet will win a WBEE prize pack for their owner. All you have to do is email me a picture of your pet. There are new pets to look at every month! And now you can cast your vote for the pet that you think should be WBEE's Pet of the Month!
I love living in Rochester! It's been a blast learning about all the things that set Rochester apart from other places. Garbage plates, the Haunted Hayrides, Red Wings and Amerks games, living near the Finger Lakes (and all those wineries!), gotta love Charlotte beach (polar plunge anyone?), and of course the grand canyon of the east, Letchworth!
I'm a goofball, I love laughing and making people laugh! I enjoy being outdoors hiking and camping, all that good stuff. So far my favorite trail in this area is Hi Tor, it's near Naples a little south of Canandaigua Lake.
I started my radio career in Albuquerque, working part time for several stations while I finished college. By the end of my first week at my first radio job, I was hooked! I knew at that point that I wanted to pursue a career in radio.
As a little girl I would sit in my room and listen to the radio for hours. I had one of the duel tape decks, so I would sometimes create a "radio show," playing my music on one side while I recorded my voice and all the music on the other side. Maybe deep down I always knew that I wanted to work at a radio station.
Don't hesitate to call me at 222-WBEE. I would love to talk to you! I want to know what makes your life interesting, email me with your stories! DON'T BE A STRANGER.
