Facing an illness is very much like being a buoy: we have to rise up, we have to learn to float, and carry ourselves in the storm. While we're staying afloat in the storm, we are also a beacon for others. -Lorna J. Brunelle There are lots of stories about the ties that bind mothers and daughters. When Lorna Brunelle's mother, Wanda, was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, she turned heartbreak into hope by telling the story of her mother's courage, character, wisdom and lifelong influence in the book: The Buoy Projects: A Story of Breast Cancer, Bucket Lists, Life Lessons, Facebook and Love. A two-time cancer survivor herself, Lorna is a renowned performer, teacher, and three-time author whose work is rooted in recognizing gifts and talents, creativity, and self-determination. A graduate of The Boston Conservatory, she is the owner of The Burt Wood School of Performing Arts, The Alley Theatre, and The Patio in Middleborough, Massachusetts. www.burtwoodschool.com. Through her writing, philanthropy, and mentorship, Lorna has changed the lives of thousands of performing arts students who have passed through her doors over the last 30 years. The Buoy Projects is a love letter to her mother, and a testament to the power of the mother/daughter connection.

Elvira Navarro es una de las grandes del cuento en España, experta en construir pequeñas grandes historias en pocas páginas y dejar al lector atónito ante el desarrollo de la narración. Prueba de ello es "La sangre está cayendo al patio", un libro de relatos que publica con Random House y en los que juega con lo sobrenatural en un contexto de cotidianeidad contemporánea marcada por la precariedad económica pero también moral de la sociedad.Personajes peculiares en situaciones excepcionales, extrañas, dentro de lo cotidiano. Una lavadora que lava con sangre en vez de agua, una familia que se instala en un chalet a medio construir justo antes de la pandemia, un transexual que se niega a poner fin a su obesidad, un hombre que convierte su casa en un zoológico de animales de carretera, un vigilante nocturno que sufre alucinaciones acústicas o una mujer que avanza sola por un suburbio.Hablamos con Elvira en un programa que es una clase de literatura y repasamos otros nombres de nuestra estantería de los cuentistas de lo oscuro.

Gettin ever so close to 200 episodes. Will we MAKE IT? We will.Folks, we can barely CONTAIN ourselves with excitement at the last second BLOCKED FG that gave the Birds an improbable victory against the Rams at the Linc. Why so improbable? Well, because Patullo and the rest of the dang team was ASLEEP in the first half! We muse about the second half adjustments (was the adjustment to pull rank on Patullo?), and the tale of two halves that gave us yet another Merrill Reese classic call. It's sad, maybe, but I absolutely well up with tears whenever he gets all excited like an elfin king.NEXT we have to check in on our playoff bound / NL East champs Phillies...and to delve into potential playoff matchups. We are still gunning for that number 2 spot at this point...of course a loss in extra innings to the Marlins last night didn't help us! Dammit Marlins you always gotta ruin stuff! Let's get it together (negative xRays on JT's hand, thank god)...and let's finish strong to get to October ball!Email: hoagiemouthpod@gmail.comIG: @hoagiemouthpod

SHOW NOTES: Welcome to The Money Pit Home Improvement Show! Today, we've got a jam-packed hour filled with expert advice and practical DIY solutions for all your home improvement projects. Here's a rundown of the main topics and caller questions we'll be tackling today: - Instant Hot Water Solutions: We'll explore smart fixes like hot water recirculation pumps that deliver hot water instantly and can save you up to 17,000 gallons of water annually, including how they work, their cost, and DIY-friendly options. - Building Your Dream Patio: Thinking about a new patio for fall? We'll guide you through building a poured concrete patio from scratch using crack-resistant concrete, covering prep, pouring, and finishing techniques. - The Power of Composite Flooring: Discover why this next-generation flooring material is becoming a favorite for its stylish, affordable, durable, and waterproof qualities, perfect for any room, along with installation tips. - Fall Fireplace Safety: Before you light that first cozy fire, we'll discuss essential steps to prep your fireplace for safe use, including inspections, cleaning, and detector checks. Q & A: - Nancy from Illinois is trying to build a deck but is battling massive tree roots. We advise her to consider designing the deck to require fewer supports or potentially having a tree company grind sections of the roots. - Colin is building a secure safe room and looking for a vault door. We suggest repurposing an old safe door or using a heavy-duty commercial steel door with multiple deadbolts, with an added tip on reinforcing cinder block walls with rebar and concrete. - Katherine has changed her lighting design for her basement and wants to know how to patch up old fixture holes. We recommend disconnecting any live wires, using ceiling plates if wires remain, or patching with drywall if the wiring is completely removed and dead. - Amanda from Pennsylvania just bought a 100-year-old home with beautiful original hardwood floors that squeak, especially on the stairs. We suggest locating and tightening the loose boards using specialized trim screws that won't back out like nails. - Sandy spilled hot wax on her carpet and upholstered chair and needs to know how to clean it. We gave her a clever trick: use a brown paper bag and a hot, non-steam iron to melt the wax, which then sticks to the bag for easy removal. - Jim (via email) asked if his new crawl space door needs to be weatherproofed like other exterior doors. We affirm that it absolutely does, recommending a drip edge, silicone caulk, and a solid coat of exterior paint to protect against moisture and damage.

SHOW NOTES: Welcome back to The Money Pit! It's mid-September, and with so much happening, it's easy to get sidetracked from your home projects. But don't worry, we're here to help you keep things working and organized. We've got a great show lined up for you today, with topics that include: - Extending Outdoor Fun with Patio Heaters: Just because it's fall doesn't mean your outdoor enjoyment has to stop! We'll explore how patio heaters can keep you entertaining, dining, and relaxing outside even as temperatures drop. - Decoding Spooky Home Sounds: With Halloween just around the corner, you might be hearing some mysterious bangs, pops, scratches, or whistles around the house. We'll decode these top mystery noises of the season, explain what they really mean, and show you how to fix them before they give you the creeps! - Saving Money on Your Water Heater: Your water heater might be silently draining your wallet. We'll share smart ways to cut energy costs, reduce water waste, and keep your hot water flowing efficiently, plus tell you how to score up to $600 in tax credits for making a smart upgrade. Q & A: - Marcus in Louisiana asks about thermal barriers for his attic. We confirm that these radiant barriers do work by reflecting heat, but require proper perpendicular and clean installation to be effective. - Ellie in Wisconsin is celebrating a new home and wants to install wall shelving in her bathrooms. We encourage her DIY spirit, with advice on suitable anchors for lighter items in drywall and the importance of matching anchor ratings to the shelf's weight. - Matt in Ohio is struggling with recurring mold in his shower. We identify improper ventilation and persistent moisture as the likely culprits, recommending a humidistat and antimicrobial caulk after managing the moisture issue. - Dan in Maryland has greasy kitchen cabinets above his stove and asks for cleaning recommendations. We recommend using Murphy's Oil Soap with warm water and microfiber cloths, along with a gentle abrasive pad for tougher spots. - Brad emailed us about building a large patio roof and asked about overlapping it with his existing house roof without connecting. We strongly advise against overlapping as a standalone structure, instead recommending securely tying the patio roof into the house for structural integrity. - Andrew, also via email, reported thunder-like vibrating sounds from the copper pipes in his basement after a new water heater was installed. We attributed this to loose pipes causing a "water hammer" effect and suggested securing them with brackets. ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

SHOW NOTES: Welcome back to The Money Pit, your ultimate guide to making good homes better! We're covering a lot of ground today, so here's a quick rundown of what we're talking about and the incredible callers we're helping with expert home improvement advice: - Bathroom Design Ideas: We offer a range of modern design ideas for bathrooms, from cozy powder rooms to luxurious spa spaces, drawing inspiration from Wallpaper Magazine to elevate your space and style. - Patio Furniture Care: Get valuable tips for cleaning and storing patio furniture made from various materials, including wicker, metal, wood, and cushions, to ensure they stay in great shape for seasons to come. - Concrete Post Footings: We discuss the value of Quikrete's fast-setting concrete as an easy way to set posts for fences, mailboxes, or basketball hoops, producing strong, stable results in under an hour without mixing or mess! - Kids' Room Décor: Learn about the art of redecorating kids' rooms, including the importance of budget planning, material selection, safety, and thinking about how the space will evolve with the child's age. Q & A: - Teresa called in about changing the finish of her wood deck, which is half new pre-treated lumber and half old painted lumber. The paint must be removed before staining because stain won't soak into paint, and the new pre-treated lumber will need to season until next spring before being stained. - Ted from Mississippi has a sewage odor in his bathroom. We suggest checking for a missing or non-functional plumbing trap or a bio-gas situation in the sink drain. - Janet from South Carolina inquires about options other than tile for her bathroom walls, due to staining issues. We recommend looking into pre-made tub surrounds as a durable and virtually leakproof alternative that can even mimic tile. - Jerry from West Virginia wants to soundproof a second-floor master bedroom he's converting into a movie room. We suggest applying a second layer of soundproofing drywall and using carpeting and upholstered furniture to absorb sound. - Kathy from Ohio reports a squealing noise from her upstairs toilet when the washer was running on the utility floor. Squeals are typically from the toilet's fill valve on the supply side, though a blockage or vent issue could also be a possibility. - Dan from Nebraska has a widespread mold situation in his three-year-old pole building, despite no previous issues. We identify the cause as high humidity due to a lack of conditioning in the space. Solutions include heating or cooling the space, using a dehumidifier, and potentially installing a fan with a humidistat. ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

Former IT consultant Ron Kinscherf shares how a backyard moment with his grandson sparked a rich universe of ant characters—and an 11‑book run in just four years. We dig into his newest book “Adorable,” the craft choices that keep parents engaged, and the quiet life lessons his stories deliver for kids and adults alike. Sponsored by Real Life Prosthetics Guest Bio: Ron Kinscherf is a children's author from Illinois and the creator of the Papa Tell Me a Book series, now 11 titles strong in four years. He collaborates closely with illustrator Holly and works with publisher Morgan James after originally self‑publishing his early books. Before writing, Ron worked in IT and sales; his grandkids (five and counting) fuel many of his story ideas. Main Topics: · The origin story: a grandson stomping anthills inspires book one, “The Baker's Patio.” · From self‑publishing to Morgan James—and keeping IP and the original community art page. · Partnering with illustrator Holly (found via Upwork) and their storyboard process. · Visual style: grayscale with selective color (inspired by A‑ha's “Take On Me”) and hidden “Easter eggs.” · Writing for kids and adults: clear, high‑contrast text and layered themes. · Sample lessons: resisting “yummies” (listen to elders; love your kids anyway) and “I'm With Me” (healthy independence). · Strong women: the queen inspired by Ron's mother and a supportive community. · School visits and the “sponsor a book for a classroom” model.
