I haven't posted in forever, but let's be serious, who really reads this anyway? I do apologize, but things have been very busy here with Townhall Magazine. We're working hard to put out a good product for all of you! The July issue is packed with all-American stories celebrating the 232nd birthday of the United States. To get a free copy, visit

Chris Regal, "community builder," here at Townhall has mentioned me several times recently in his blog,
My World. His bloggers apparently hate me because I criticize him for his horrendous grammar - a vast lack of punctuation and an array of misspellings are sprinkled into every sentence. According to Chris's bloggers, they love him because they feel like they're having a conversation with him. From the "TH Nazi" (My World's nickname for me when referring to my grammar rules) to the readers of My World: I get to have conversations with Chris all the time and believe me, while his blog is EXACTLY how he talks, he has the time in the day to use the spell check feature on MSWord. Also, he's being called out by an intern and he's a full-time employee. There's something wrong here.
If I do have any readership, please back me on this. I need some support during this on-going battle.
In Friday fashion, here are some items that have interested me this week:
- I'm a traditionalist. I'm considering having a cocktail party and serving
old-school drinks like these featured by MSN.
- Shout out to my Dad who has hit the Net! Care to learn a little about a small, all-American coal cracker town?
Here he offers a little history lesson on the apparatus of the Freeland Fire Department as they prepare to celebrate their 125th anniversary. I'm from a family of firefighters - my Dad has been a volunteer fireman for 36 years and both my grandfathers were highly active firemen for their entire adult lives.
- Freeland is on the opposite side of the Pocono's from Milford, but Milford is still
NEPA at its finest. I hate to be the small town girl who blames the big city for the problems, but in this case, we can all blame New York City and the huge influx of people surging into the Pocono's. Our poor region has gone from quaint and comfortable to slimy and STD-ridden. The spread of the cit-idiots (as my Southampton roommate refers to them) has caused a downward spiral in everything from education to the economy across NEPA.
-
Stop Lou Barletta? I say we stop the flow of illegals across our borders. This guy isn't even from Hazleton.
- My best friends say I suffer from the "bad boy syndrome," to paraphrase their much more colorful terminology. Now, it's scientifically proven that
bad guys really do get the girls - the jury is still out as to whether this helps my argument or my girlfriends'.
- I'm finally going to go to the
Old Post Office this weekend!! I hope all of you Townhallers enjoy your weekends, too!
