Maria- 10/5/2021

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK!

Hi! I'm Maria, and I am a verrrry friendly girl, who has had a couple litters and is ready to move on in life. My purpose in life is to be the best companion I can be to everyone. This means I enjoy being pet, love chin rubs, and am a very social girl. I do okay with other cats as long as they leave me alone, but don't think I'd like a dog very well.

Maria's adoption fee is $25, which includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines, as well as other various treatments. For more information, please stop by the front desk or call 641-753-9046.

The List for Friday, October 1st 2021

Welcome to The List,

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Luke Bryan says even though no one in his family has had to deal with it, he has had friends in Georgia and Nashville that have.  The big things that he notices at his shows are the fans that are fighting it  “The fans at my concerts that have the signs up, you know, they have a pink sign, ‘LAST CHEMO TREATMENT TODAY. BEATING CANCER,’ and that always is something that, that visual is always something that I leave the show with.”

Ryan Hurd has written songs with her…sang on her albums and married her…now he finally gets to be on a song WITH her "It’s amazing to finally be able to do a song with Maren, we’ve worked together, but this is the first time we’ve ever gotten to do a song this forward facing,

-----

Movie season it kicking off in October it seems…with The Many Saints of Newark and The Addams Family 2 that starts streaming today…Charlize Theron plays Morticia Adams and says the movie is for the whole family “Moms and Dads will enjoy it just as much as the kids.  I love all the little inside jokes for the adults in this. I mean the movie is really funny, but it’s a fun family experience to go and share and I think that’s what sets this apart,  It’s so exciting.”

----

The Verge says Scarlett Johansson and Disney have settled their lawsuit. She claimed she lost millions of dollars because Disney released ''Black Widow'' in theaters and online. Her salary was based on the film's box office performance. Deadline Hollywood says the settlement was in the tens of millions. Scarjo and Disney plan to work together in the future.

The List for Thursday, September 30th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Today we take a look behind the scenes of how a couple of your favorite songs came to be…we start off with Elvie Shane, his song ‘My Boy’ continues to climb the charts it’s even been on the Top Kix at Six.  But where did the idea for the song come from…“I had just been sent a post on Facebook that said, 'I don’t have a step son; I have a son that was born before I met him.' Man, that resonated with me, there was a message there and I wanted to get it out. Nick Columbia said, “Well tell me about your step son." I said “Man, he’s MY BOY” and the rest is history".

----

You love the song and know the dance…’Fancy Like” today we get the scoop on how FANCY Walker Hayes really IS” On my socials I get a lot of people that watch me and my kids and my wife at home and their like ‘we also eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch.  Sometimes I think they get this impression that our life is fancier than theirs. I guess Fancy Like was my response to that, like nah…we’re pretty normal average joe people.” They may be “average Joe people” but I’m still struggling with that fancy dance!

----

Yesterday we touched on the Britney Spears conservatorship and the possible outcome. well, great news for Britney!  Her father Jamie Spears was suspended as her conservator Wednesday. Shortly after news broke Britney took to Instagram to share footage of herself flying a plane, which she captioned, "On cloud 9 right now "First time flying a plane and first time in a prop plane”

-----

Dog the Bounty Hunter fans are closely following along as Duane "Dog" Chapman tries to track down Brian Laundrie, the fiancé of Gabby Petito who went missing after her disappearance and death. As Chapman and his team share updates on their findings, fans can't help but wish on social media that Chapman's late wife Beth Chapman were still alive and part of the search. On Wednesday, Chapman took to Instagram with a video saying "The search has just begun."
