WCIA Med Center not ACTUALLY about Medicine

I'm not out to bash Chiropractors. I've been the recipient of their ministrations, and I have respect for their practice, but they are not MEDICAL DOCTORS. The WCIA Morning Show regularly has a variety of Quacks on their Med Segment, and this morning I was just fed up, so I sent them this email:
Dear WCIA Station Managment,
Just letting you know that while I was watching the Morning Show this morning, I was absolutely appalled by the Med Center segment. First of all, although there is a place in our society for the practice of Chiropractic, a Chiropractor is NOT a doctor, and has not attended Medical School. The practice of Chiropractors referring to themselves as "Doctor" does not, in itself, validate the practice...... It should be the minimum requirement that your Med Center segment have an actual medical professional.
Nonetheless, as if it were not enough that he was not an actual Doctor, the Chiropractor on the show had the audacity to instruct your Morning Show audience to REFRAIN from getting Flu Shots?!! and suggested that Flu shots are BAD for you?!! He has ABSOLUTELY NO MEDICAL BASIS for saying that, and it was an impressive height of complete and total irresponsibility to broadcast that witless drivel!
Every year, 10,000 people die of influenza in the US. EVERY YEAR. To have some trade school ninnyhammer spout information that may keep one of your loyal viewers from seeking medical aide (especially if they are old and/or infirm) was incredibly foolish, and it is my sincere hope that you will take this letter as it was intended and improve your accuracy in future broadcasts.
If it is not the intention of the station to provide an actual medical opinion from someone with appropriate credentials, you should rename the segment. Fool's Corner, The Brainless Wonder, and What Would the Idiot Do spring immediately to mind, but maybe you could come up with something more palatable without damaging the reputation of medical professionals everywhere.
Any station's Morning Show is considered part of the "fluff" of the day - no one expects to be wowed by their Morning Show with information that is ground breaking and/or Earth shattering. That does not excuse airing segments that are irresponsible and potentially harmful.
Shame on you.

Someone out there is going to disagree, I'm sure, but you will not be able to argue advice coming from a "bone-cracker" is valid when dealing with issues of internal medicine. I've seen unbelievably outrageous claims of Chiropractic fixing everything from ADD to dyslexia, and I've only ever used it to fix my BACK!! I'll just sit back and not get sick, thankyouverymuch.

The little refrigerator that couldn't

We moved into our current house (in western TX) with the existing kitchen appliances in place, but the power had been off long enough that, before we did a walk through prior to move-in, there had been a pretty powerful stink from the rotting items in the fridge. The realtor and associates had done a very good job of cleaning it out, and had clearly used bleach, but what really made me laugh was when I opened the fridge and saw that, obviously to try and keep the inside a little fresher, they had carefully opened the tops and left two canisters of................................baking POWDER...... maybe they were just hoping I'd want to make some biscuits. (that's a mini #heydumbass inside the larger tale) Anyway, the fridge was a Samsung with french doors and the freezer on the bottom, and it has water and ice through the door, plus an ice bucket in the freezer. Last March the lower ice maker was not working right, and the freezer stopped freezing, so I had a repair guy out...

Do NOT buy these instruments!!

I HAVE to post because - NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO and a heaping helping of NOOOOOOOO!!! Anyone who loves their child and wants them to learn an instrument should go right past this display and buy the child a fifth of Jack and a carton of cigarettes, because IT WILL DO LESS DAMAGE! Arturo Sandoval, when he was a child growing up in Cuba, gave up his only pair of shoes to get a cornet. Compared to these instruments, that cornet was gloriously legitimate, the trade equivalent of Jimmy Choo shoes. I started on a Blessing cornet, which would be the blessing of angels compared to these monstrous, potentially lead containing, travesties of form. A hole will melt in them if you look at them too heatedly, and avoid the ghost pepper for dinner if you want them to last more than a day...... Long ago, my VERY BEST starters EVER (truly, no knock to any former student, but these twin boys came out of the musical petting zoo with a clarinet and cornet and were ready to move up to the next ban...
