Another Idea for the Holidays

Since my last entry to the blog, I realized that it really is more important than ever to do what we can for the troops overseas and their families here at home this holiday season. I did a little research on what we can do this holiday season for the troops. Here's a great start on ways you can send your holiday cheer to our service members overseas fighting the good fight.

I highly recommend Operation Uplink -- there is nothing more special to a soldier than a free phone time to hear the voices of those he/she loves and misses the most. I remember when I was a Navy wife (years ago), my husband was stationed in Japan for six months and our phone bill the first month he was there rang in at over $600! The phone company and I worked out a deal to pay that off but it sure was an eye-opener for us... we had no idea what it would cost to stay close while he was gone. The Operation Uplink cards will help some couple avoid that conversation with the phone company, I'm sure!

I encourage everyone who can afford to do it to donate their time, talent, or treasure to help our troops and their families have a little something extra to help them make it through the holidays this year. War is hell. Let's do what we can to make it a little less hellish.

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste
