Andy Sullivan: Against the Grain

This week, we research and count down the top 10 gadgets of the 1980’s Inventors and their gadgets came in many forms.  It took an unlikely combination of a German manufacturer and a tv show (Miami Vice) to give the ‘80’s male a not-so-close shave.  When the decade began, America was deeply polarized.  Men were either beard-loving ex-hippies or clean-shaven office workers.

Patty Craig: A Slice of Time

Recently, I’ve been thinking about how people learn from experience. Konrad Adenauer said, “History is the sum total of things that could have been avoided,” and Norman Cousins said, “History is a vast early warning system.” Do groups of people use history like individuals use history to inform decision making?

Three Brothers-in-law

I have three brothers-in-law. 

One firmly believes he will not die a natural death but will instead be caught up in the clouds to be with Jesus during the Rapture, within his lifetime.

The second brother-in-law says he is 100% sure that he knows who the Anti-Christ is, and that the Roman Empire will rise to prominence once more, ushering in the Anti-Christ, who is a Roman citizen.

Letter to the Editor: Jemal Wade Hines

Hello all,

I hope you’re doing well. I want to submit this letter to the editor as my wife Moksha and I, along with our sons Kaleb & Sylvan are going to DC next weekend to lobby on Capitol Hill as part of the ONE Campaign Power Summit. Next Tuesday, March 05th, ONE reps from every state will meet with all congressmen and senators on the same day! 

Every year, the United States saves millions of lives and helps create a better, safer world for everyone – and we do it for a mere fraction of our federal budget.

Cheryl Hughes: Documented

Sometimes, old documents appear at our house, seemingly out of thin air.  Recently, I was looking through my small personal safe, searching for Garey’s army discharge papers, when I came upon something unexpected.  Savings Bonds.  From 1970 & ’71.  There were seven little pieces of yellowed paper, each marked with a face value of $25.  I know zero about bonds—I’m an annuity kinda girl—so I asked Garey about them.  He said he’d known about them all along, and that he had paid $18.75 apiece for them back in the day.

We have started the income tax season. For most of us, the federal tax filing deadline this year is April 15, 2024. Gathering information for tax filing is definitely a chore. I always dread filing, but I usually file in February to get it behind me.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE: Representative Rebecca Raymer

House continues to pass meaningful legislation

 

Wrapping up yet another week in Frankfort in the 2024 Regular Session, we have officially surpassed the halfway mark. We now have less than 30 legislative working days to conclude our business for the year, and pass even more legislation to make Kentucky even stronger.

Cheryl Hughes: Wisdom with Age

Sometimes, when I’m home by myself for an extended period of time, I wonder what I would do if Garey passed away before I do.  I would definitely NOT want another relationship.  Life is hard and marriage is even harder.  This doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate my relationship with Garey, but it took a lot of hard work to get to where we are now, and I’m too tired to invest that much effort into anybody else.  No, I would want to continue by myself.  I have family and friends enough for me to be happy and helped.
