Now, you don't have to be the only one ticked off and throwing out profanities.  Man's best friend can join in on the fun too. Dogs are already perfect, let's face it.  They're loyal, they're active, they're cuddly, they're cute, they're protective ...

English and Spanish aside, what do you think is the most common language in New York?  Well, it's definitely not one that I expected. Business Insider did an article about the most common languages in each state, excluding English and Spanish...

A Capital Region woman is going to be competing on "Wheel of Fortune" this Monday  (Oh- and living out some of my game-show dreams). Of course I'm going to have to cheer on Melissa Grega or Troy, who the Times Union reported on as an upcoming competitor on Monday...

Halloween movies and thrillers may be based on the idea of a psychopath, but it turns out you don’t even need to turn to the movies. I stumbled across an article about the U.S. states with he most psychopaths.  New York ranked pretty high on the list...

The Capital Region streak as a setting for movies and television continues on! It looks like a new romantic comedy was filming in Troy- an area that has seen a number of films and tv film there in the past year or so.  The Times Union reports the movie name as "Silent Retreat"...

'Friends' super-fans, your time has come! You can get paid $1000 just for watching 'Friends' to help celebrate the show's 25th Anniversary.  I mean, sure there's more to it than just sitting down and watching an episode, but still, you can get paid to watch TV...
