That's the question I get all the time. Actually "why haven't you called me back" comes in a close second. I'll try to answer both. Normally the stories I end up airing are the ones that are visual, interesting, different, haven't done before and quite honestly easy to resolve. I don't have a lot of time to work on "Buggin U" stories so that's why I select the easier ones. Typically I get a couple of hours every day after I am done with my Good Day duties. FYI, I come in at 3:30AM and I am done with Good Day at 8:30. That leaves me with roughly 3 hours to work on Buggin. That's not a lot of time.  I get hundreds of emails and voicemails every week, so it takes a while for me to listen and review them all. Please don't get mad when I don't respond or if it takes what seems like forever. I'll be honest, stories that involve a bad used car or slum lord or high utility bill, or child support issue, I usually stay away from. Some of them are too complex.  Sometims I do pass story ideas to other reporters so you may be getting a call from them.  Right now for example I am working on 3-4 different stories. I have partially shot a couple of them.  I am waiting on people to call me back for other stories. It just depends.  So please don't be discouraged and don't take it personally if I don't respond. I would love to be able to talk to everyone and help out but it's just not possible. I hope you understand.

You're doing a great job Saul! I've heard about how hectic your job can be. Keep up the great work man.

Is it wet enough out there for ya Terrellmom? I just fertilized a few days ago and the instructions said to water a 1/4 to 1/2". I think i'm a wee bit over that over here in Rockwall. Infact, it looks like my wish came to be, I wanted a inground pool, and it looks like I got one. My whole back yard looks like a huge pool, or a lake. There goes my fertilizer.

You should have dug a big hole, then you would have that pool already. I was in sunnyvale and the road under the bridge at collins street is closed off.

Wow, Saul, I guess that leaves out you looking into my drug-dealing, dead beat mom who sold me a lemon and who just happens to be my landlord now. Dangit!

LOL, Scott! You're funny! The rest of ya'll are funny too! :-)

Saul, I guess that leaves time for you after work to have time to pass out from over exaustion! I think you may have a couple 2 or 3 minutes for that... just get 1 NYQUIL pill and then they will see you slummped over your desk and they will think you fainted or passed out. "over tired... ;-)" lol... probably not funny but you need the rest, my friend. !QUE TE VIA BIEN, AMIGO! !BEUNOS NOCHES! (have a good day friend. good night... for those of you who don't habla the espanol) I am fluent Saul!

Saul, we all love and respect your work on Buggin you. I was wondering why they wont let you take Tims place when he is gone instead of Dan Godwin. I think you would do a better job. Thanks for your hard work.

You can catch me on Good Day every morning from 5am-9am reporting on anything and everything. You can also find me getting to the bottom of "What's Buggin' You?", a Monday night feature on Fox 4 News at 9pm. Hard to believe that 2007 marks my 8th year at Fox 4 and 15th year in TV news.
