Raise Kids Right Here in Nebraska

kim — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 23:57:45 +0000

I saw on the Today Show this morning that both Omaha and Lincoln ranked in the Top Ten of the 100 best (and worst) places to raise kids. Cool, eh? Why, maybe this video for kids explains it, ha…

The String Beans, a childrens’ music band from Lincoln, Nebraska, teach you everything you need to know about their home state with this catchy tune. Although I think they forgot to mention the Nebraska Cornhuskers?

85,831 Facebook Fans For The Huskers

kim — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:44:03 +0000

Ethan Rowley (no relation) is a marketing associate for the Nebraska Athletic Department and would like assistance in helping connect all Husker fans…

We are currently in our second month of our “85,831 Facebook Fans For The Huskers” mission in which we are trying to gain that many fans for our official Facebook Fan Page by the first football game on September 5 vs. Florida Atlantic. Why 85,831? Because that is the Memorial Stadium attendance record set last year vs. Virginia Tech – so we know we have at least that many fans out there.

How can you show your support? Join the Official University of Nebraska Athletics Facebook Fan Page! I already did! Friend me up (Kim Rowley) while you’re there!

Recommendation for Nebraska Smokers

kim — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 01:29:25 +0000

Since Nebraska became smoke-free on June 1st, the outside beer gardens at bars and restaurants have become quite popular! But what about those without outside access or when the weather turns bad? Leave it me (a non-smoker, but online marketer) to find the perfect solution – Electronic Smokeless Cigarettes!

The website I found, SmoklessDelite.com claims that “Smokeless cigarettes save money and helps smokes live better without the hassle of actually quitting smoking!” If I were a smoker (trust me I’ve tried a few puffs before and about coughed up a lung), I would totally try this new technology…

Save money by buying nicotine cartridges at a fraction of the cost of real cigarettes.
100% Eco-Friendly (no butts, no second hand smoke)
100% legal to smoke anywhere.
No stinky smoke (the small white cloud is water vapor)
And the best part, you can use high, medium, low or no nicotine charges, thus actually using them to wean yourself from smoking!
100% Guarantee or your purchase price will be refunded.

P.S. Got my Huskers Shirts from Amazon today, and they are da bomb!

My Son is a officially a Husker!

kim — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 01:20:43 +0000

In all of our household busyness, my son (as seen above with dear ole me) graduated from high school last month and has already moved to Omaha for the summer to work. But we met to go to Lincoln together last week for New Student Orientation at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. It was an all day affair 7:30 – 5, which I think could have been shortened to half a day if they cut out some of the skits, shortened some presentations and offered tours a la carte (as we’d previously had the same tour on a campus visit). But it was informative for both of us nonetheless. My son is super excited to start attending, and he is all registered for classes to start this fall. My guess is that his favorite part of college will be the student tickets to the football games and the all-you-can-eat cafeteria buffets (yes, it’s that much better than my cooking). And the best part of the day for me was when they thought I was one of the students and not a parent! I thought it was a compliment even though they apologized for the error. Overall the experience made me wish I personally had attended UNL in my former life to be able to call myself a true “Husker” instead of just a Husker fan.

It’s A Smoke-Free Nebraska!

kim — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 21:52:15 +0000

Yesterday was World No Tobacco Day, and today Nebraska’s Clean Indoor Air Act goes into effect! The law bans smoking in all public places and businesses except cigar bars and 20% of hotel rooms. Yippee! Can you tell I’m a non-smoker? Sure the smokers are upset – I say it’s a good time for everyone to quit!

I posted on my Facebook page (are you my friend yet?) how excited I was for this day to come. Got some good commentary/feedback…

Kim: can’t wait until June 1st when Nebraska bars/restaurants will be smoke-free.

Mookie: Think of all the water people will save — no more post-bar showers to loufa the smoke off.

Christina: And there will be much rejoicing.

Amy: except for all the post- bar showers to loufa all the booze and sweat off!

Brent: They did that in Boston a bunch of years ago. It was the best thing that they could have done. No more going home stinking of cigarette smoke, and you can actually breath in the bar now.

Mookie: I don’t know Amy, I kinda like the booze-and-sweat combo. Sort of like a “marinade”.

Jay: But this may cause more people to quit smoking. Cigarette tax just went up by about a buck-and-a-half! Who’s gonna pay for the Economic Stimulus Package? Who’s gonna send all those bankers to Jamaica? Poor bankers.

Jay: I have an idea! Nebraska just implemented a new death penalty. Well, if second-hand smoke kills you, how about we put condemned criminals in little cages in bars, and let people smoke near them? Kill the convict, and entertainment for everyone, at no extra cost to the taxpayer! Jay for Governor!

Amy: LOL- Ewww!!! Marinade. Yuck. I’ll pass on being a sirloin thanks!

Jay: Plus all those unemployed loufas.

Amy: Poor loufas!

Kim: Wow, I finally go to take a shower for the day (yes I’ve been slacking off) so I can go out and get all smoky again tonight and come back to all these comments – you guys are too funny.

Dustie: dont like it… dont go!!!

Amy C: Emporia KS bars/restaurants went smoke-free a couple months ago….it is great!!!

Bonnie: Been smoke free here in MA for years, not too bad

What are your thoughts? Do you think smoking should be banned in all public places across the USA? Give your Opinion and you could win $400!

Nebraska is Happiest State in America

kim — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 22:11:51 +0000

Anyone else take the What State Should I Live In? Quiz on Facebook? I think everyone got Nebraska for their answer! Maybe the application developer had an inside track on this news…

Nebraska ranked #1 in MainStreet.com’s Happiness Index! We were awarded the top ranking for best weathering the current economic storm, with 2nd overall in lowest number of foreclosures, 2nd in lowest unemployment rates, and 5th in lowest percentage of non-mortgage debt by income. Watch Diane Sawyer’s story on Good Morning America about Nebraska being the Happiest Place in America.

Quote of the Day: Money may not buy happiness, but it sure can rent it for awhile.
