DATELINE: McCARTY
METRO WEIGHT LOSS
Starting January 1, the
McCarty Metro had myself, and 11 other subscribers start their New Years
with a renewed effort to lose weight in 2013. Thus, the McCarty
Metro Weight Loss Challenge was started. There is still room
for those that did not originally sign up. Simply, it is a challenge to
get healthier in 2013 and lose some of that extra weight. On the webpage, which our contestants log into
weekly to record their weight, are helpful links and comments suggested
by our challengers. Our Metro team has lost over 80 pounds in the first month.
DATELINE: VEGAS
BABY, VEGAS
The McCarty brothers
enjoyed their 9th annual trek to Sin City. Steve, Larry, and Kelly were
joined by buddy Bob. It was a fun 3 days as the group showed off some
glittered duds in old Vegas on Saturday. This is the extent of the
reporting, because as a journalist, I have to adhere to my hippocratic
oath that I took... What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas.

DATELINE: DETROIT, MICHIGAN
Michigan Delegate Austin McCarty has
moved out of the Metro Headquarters, and is back in training. After running in
his first marathon last September in the Woodstock Full Marathon, Austin took
several months off from running. Recently, he has once again restarted his
training. His plans in 2013 is to run in 3 half marathons from the spring to the
summer, and then run in his second full marathon in the fall, competing in the
Detroit Free Press / Talmer Bank Marathon on October 20. The Metro wishes Austin
safe runnings.
| DATELINE: CHINA
On a recent
business trip to China, Jerry McCarty waiting on his return
flight in Shenyang, found himself and the entire Chinese region
snowed in by a freak blizzard. Not missing a beat, although
missing his Las Vegas trip with the boys, Jerry did his weekly
radio Podcast for KHTS radio from the airport with several of
his snowed-in friends. Jerry finally did get out of the airport
and back home.

ABOUT
VALENTINE'S DAY
More than 36 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate are sold for Valentine's Day each year.
About 8 billion candy hearts will be produced this year; that’s enough candy to stretch from Rome, Italy to Valentine, Arizona 20 times and back again.
About 1 billion Valentine's Day cards are exchanged in US each year. That's the largest seasonal card-sending occasion of the year, next to Christmas.
Worldwide, over 50 million roses are given for Valentine's Day each year.
In order of popularity, Valentine's Day cards are given to teachers, children, mothers, wives, sweethearts and pets.
In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling.

  In an effort to continue my McCarty Metro weight loss, I signed up for the Tap & Run in Nashville. It's a 4K race that starts by chugging a beer and then chugging a beer at each check point.
(www.tapnrun.com) Do you think this is a good weight loss plan?
-PBR
ED NOTE:
Not sure if it will help you lose weight, however, I have
a friend named Takashi who won a tricycle race at the Greek Games.
He swears by taking Tricloramethelyne as it will counter
all affects of alcohol in the body.
I recently came into some extra money at a Mississippi Stud card
table. Can you suggest a worthy
charity to donate to? -I'm On A Roll
ED NOTE: Yes.
The Coalition for Adequate School Housing is near and dear to my
heart. Send me your check payable to them (CASH) and I will see to
it that it goes to the proper people.

I recently went to Las Vegas with some friends. They bought me a
yard of slurpee. I started feeling funny while drinking it. Just
wondering.. What was in it? -Elvis Thank You Very Much
ED NOTE: 1 part
strawberry extract, 2 parts vodka, and 3 parts brain freeze
Valentines Day is
approaching and I don't want to give the traditional flowers and candy. Any suggestions?
-FTD
ED NOTE: My Dad
showed his expression of love to my mom through the use of bubble
bath oil. And don't skimp buying the small, fancy looking bottle
for Fleur De Force, show her the grand scale of your affections by
getting the gallon size jug that you can find at any K-Mart. She
will find that it is also a multi-purpose gift, as your Valentine
can take a bath it it, put it in the vacuum for a scent, and wart
away aphids and possums in her garden this spring.
