Bob the Nurse’s visit to Hawaii

Posted on Jan 09, 2010 by Susie Collins in Keith Carlson, Susie Collins, Susie's Secret Garden

Fun with a male nurse action figure with too much time on his hands.

I can’t believe I never told you about Bob the Nurse coming to visit me in Hawaii last summer. The Adventures of Bob the Nurse is the creation of Canary Report contributor Keith Carlson. Bob travels around the country visiting and indulging in the local culture in such diverse places as Arkansas, Georgia, Florida and Hawaii, just to name a few.

In addition to taking a canoe voyage in one of my ponds (above), Bob also got lei’d, helped out the chicks, went fishing, stood in awe of the Buddha, and took naps.

Take a look at two full pages of Bob’s Hawaiian vacay here and here. I do hope he’ll come visit again soon!

Old MacSilver

Parody by guest blogger Susan M. Silver.

Old MacSilver or Multi-Person Sick Home Blues

(to the tune of “Old MacDonald”)

Old MacSilver had a sick home
EI, EI woe!
Her landlord was a toxic cyclone
EI, EI, woe!
With formaldehyde here and fresh paint there
Here a sneeze, there a wheeze
Everywhere a brain freeze
Old MacSilver had a sick home
EI, EI woe!

New online radio station for people with Environmental Illness

Posted on Sep 12, 2009 by Susie Collins in Blog, MCS, Media/Videos, Susie Collins

DTOX Radio programming will include music, old time radio programs, radio plays, who-done-it mysteries and hilarious comedies.

A new online radio station for people with Environmental Illness and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity has just been launched. Creator of DTOX Radio is Canary Report member Rob Neis (at left). The Rob Network’s programming right now is easy listening music, but Rob plans on enriching the content with interviews, information about EI/MCS, and for those of us who can no longer read books due to outgassing issues, regular programming also will include old time radio plays and comedy sketches. Doesn’t that sound like fun? We can all listen together!

I’m very excited about the DETOX Radio project. It will enrich the overall online content available to people with Environmental Illness and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. Rob has generously offered The Canary Report some air time, so I’ll be creating some five-minutes spots and possibly some hour-long programs for DTOX radio in the near future. Stay tuned!

Welcome to The Rob Network, the home of DTOX Radio

We are very pleased to bring you DTOX Radio, the worlds first 24/7 online radio dedicated to people suffering from Environmental Illnesses.

Now playing; The best non-toxic online music there is

We will soon be updating our program schedule and adding more shows dealing with the complex issues surrounding Environmental Illnesses.

For those who miss the pleasure of relaxing with a good book. We will soon be bringing back several old time radio programs featuring; radio plays, “who done it” mysteries and hilarious comedies.

Our regularly scheduled programs begin at 1pm EST and are repeated at 1am EST. We do this for our friends in different time zones and to give everyone the chance to join in and participate.

We’re always interested in hearing your feedback. Please feel free to drop us an email with your comments and suggestions. But remember, they may just be read on the radio.

Congratulations, Rob! Well done!

This video is really bad and really hilarious. I laughed so loud I made the neighbor’s dogs bark. True story.

Oy Vey! We’re chemically sensitive puppets! Don’t knock MCS until you’ve tried it!

Thanks, Linda!
