A Word From Our Listeners:

Good Morning Cathy!

The day that you read my email on the air, I was out running errands and happened to have my radio on in the car...I was so happy to hear you talk about my problem! Sorry I didn't have my phone number in the email. I added a grocery stop to my list of things to do that day and purchased the Soft Scrub w/Bleach and it did work remarkably well. I highly recommend that product to everyone. Thank you for that advice!

Thank you again for your response, with the
information that you provide on your shows and all of the neat things that you do for your listeners. I also enjoy the people that you interview who have written books--very informative and fun to listen to. You're the BEST!

Thanks! Joan T.

Cathy-

I so enjoy your program...I moved here from Seattle about 1 1/2 yrs ago and I have told all of my many West Coast friends about your program and share your topics and info from the call-ins in our long distance conversations. Your program regarding compasionate intervention is exactly what my friend in San Diego needed for a family member. Two days after that broadcast she called me regarding a family members need for an intervention but the family was terrified of the confrontation. I gave her your guests web site and she and the rest of the family are very, very thankful to learn about it and are in the process of reading the book.

Your work helps people far and wide, Cathy. Thank You!!
Stacey

Dear Cathy,

For five and a half years I have been suffering from what was finally diagnosed this year as acid reflux. I have had no heartburn, but instead, a persistent tickling in my throat, followed by violent coughing, and then constantly, for about half an hour to an hour after that, clearing of my throat. I'm a singer and this eventually ruin my voice. I tried all sorts of remedies, saw three different doctors about this, and was finally put on Nexium. The Nexium took care of the problem, but since my insurance doesn't pay for drugs, it was costing me $120 a month. I was in despair of ever being well again without paying a very high price.

A few months ago I was listening to Dr. Allie on Problems and Solutions, when she mentioned taking one chewable Tums tablet a day for the daily calcium requirement. At the time, I was taking Citracal and paying quite a price for it. I decided to take up her advice and began my daily Tums.

Within a month or so I noticed I was no longer coughing. My voice has returned, and I am singing once again. I wish I had known this five years ago! Thank you Dr. Allie for your wonderful advice. Now for only pennies, I have, not only my daily need of calcium, but the added benefit of no more acid reflux.

I am a very grateful woman.
Sincerely,
Janet S.

Hi Cathy,

I had 6 calls for the tree!! So the now "the little tree that will some day be a very big tree" has a home in the country with a nice lady named Doris that couldn't afford to buy trees for her acreage. She was the first to call.

As for the candy corn, I didn't get any calls, but last Sat I went to Gordmans and rummaged through every Christmas candy display they had; and low and behold, I found 2 little packages of that allusive Christmas colored candy corn!! Just in time to give out my Christmas snack mix on Monday!! Yahoo!!

So thank you very much for announcing my requests over the radio. I was so happy to be able to give that little tree a home. I just think your program is the greatest.

Thanks again -

Susan M.

Hi Cathy,

I just wanted you to know that Lincoln KFOR listeners seem to always come to the rescue.

Even some businesses have you tuned in. That's how I got help with my camera from Images II and found a relaxation CD because The Way Home shop owner in Indian Village had his radio on in his car. I had calls where to find a mature "smoke tree" and people are kind enough to leave messages, even mailing me pages out of catalogs for certain products.

Thanks too for re-running "The Best of Problems and Solutions" because that way I can tape the interview and if I give the book as a gift I include the tape so the person can listen to it ahead of time and get "a feel" for the author and their message.

Keep up the great work! Mary V

Good Morning Cathy,

First, THANK YOU so much for the web site and the book chat listings.......the Library Ladies are my favorite program on Problems and Solutions.

Your program reminds me of growing up in northeast Nebraska when my mother would listen to the "Neighbor Lady" on WNAX in Yankton, S.D. Thanks for providing a program that is informative and gives us the opportunity to help one another with the "open phone" format.

I wish you a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving!

Hi Cathy,

I called Friday for help with a string of lights and my van and no outlet.

Got three calls. One led me to Menard's and I found the perfect adaptor for what I wanted.

I agree the KFOR listeners are awesome! Thanks a bunch!

Dear Cathy!

The entire city of Lincoln listens to and plans their day around KFOR! It's great listening to "our friends". You are all terrific.

I enjoyed the gentleman who talked about his book about having a will! I heard him while I was driving around, so, you see, Lincoln listens to your station no matter what we are doing. I would really like the telephone number he gave about getting his book. If you have it you could call me at home and leave it for me.

Give our compliments to your fellow workers at KFOR. You and KFOR are the best!

Sincerely,

Evette

Cathy,

I sent you an e-mail last week looking for some hard-to-find jars. I got 4 calls, just one right after another, because of Problems & Solutions on Friday. It was my work number, but that was OK.

One lady from out by Denton delivered them right to the office!!! I was really pleased. Thanks again for you help - what response I got!! Now I know where to go when I need something.

Nancy B.
