Merry Christmas from The Girls of The DSC Show 2010!!

Freebies For All Veteran's Today 11-11-2010!

Today is Veteran's Day, a national American holiday. Although I am not a veteran, I appreciate, support and am very grateful for their service to our country. I live in a military town, San Diego, CA and want to help those who serve.  No matter what you think of war or what political affiliation you follow, we should all support our troops. Thousands have given their lives for our freedoms.

 Fortunately, there are lots of  businesses who want to give back in some small way to Veteran's, active duty service members and their families. You'll definitely need to show your ID to take advantage of the freebie's and discounts. I did a search and found lots of free and discounted meals, free admission to certain parks, free haircuts, free donuts; plus discounts at hardware stores and Old Navy.

Below is a partial list. Please click on the highlighted words for more information. Some are in San Diego only, while others are nationwide.

Free admission to the USS Midway Museum in downtown San Diego. Stop in after the parade! Anyone who donates blood to the San Diego Blood Bank can also enter for free. Click here for details.


Wahoo's Fish Taco is going to be celebrating Veterans Day this year by giving a free #1 combo meal to all active and retired military personal. You must be 18.

Uno Chicago Grille is offering a free entrée or pizza with the purchase of another entrée or pizza for all veterans and active duty military.  

Free meals  and other discounts are being offered at Famous Dave's BBQ, a national chain.

Tabe BBQ Grille is offering 50% off with military ID, but only at their store on Murphy Canyon Road.

Applebee's and Chili’s restaurants are both offering all military veterans past and present their choice of one of six meals for free.

More than 100 national parks that usually charge entrance fees are waiving that fee on Thursday. Visit one of your national parks on Veterans Day.

Outback Steakhouse's appreciation to our Country's veterans and active duty military, comes in the form of a free Bloomin' Onion and beverage of choice (one non-alcoholic drink or one draft Anheuser Busch beer except where prohibited by law). Check http://www.outback.com/ for locations.  

Amazon.com  has free “Veterans Day Honor” MP3 album downloads. The album includes 12 songs by The Bands and Ensembles of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Sea World is offering veteran's and three direct dependents free admission on any one day of the year.

Knott's Berry Farm offers free admission for vet's today. Actually vets can go for free on any one day of the year.

Krispy Kreme Donuts has free donuts for our fighting hero's.

Old Navy clothing is offering military personnel a 30% discount on purchases for the second week of November. Lowe's and Home Depot are giving a 10% discount all this week.

Wear your uniform or show your ID at T.G.I.Friday's through the weekend to get a "buy one meal, get one free."

Mimi's Cafe is offering a free meal with any $20 purchase, but only with this coupon.

Participating Hooter's restaurants are offering free meals to active service members and vet's with ID.

Sports Clips Haircut is a chain salon for men of all ages and is offering a free haircut to active military and veterans on Nov. 11 at participating Sports Clips locations.

If you aren't a veteran, but would like to help one, volunteer or donate money; here are a few links of some terrific organizations:

National Veteran's Foundation
Freedom is Not Free: Serving Wounded Warriors
Leave No Veteran Behind

This is one small way I thought of to officially thank you for your service. I hope it lets you know how much you're appreciated. My boss, Dave Rickards,  always thanks our military listeners for their service to our country. So I've gotten into that wonderful habit as well and I encourage you to try it too. It feels good.

And Happy Holiday if you're lucky enough to get the day off!

DSC Supports Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in San Diego County!

 Back Row: Chris Boyer, Dave Rickards, Cookie "Chainsaw" Randolph; Front Row: Ruth 66 (me), Elaina Smith, Emily Maguire

We've all been effected by breast cancer in one way or another. We either know someone who has it, had it ourselves or know someone who's died from it. We are joining The Susan G. Komen Foundation in imagining the world without this deadly disease.

 With cuts to the Every Woman Counts program and the numbers of uninsured women increasing in San Diego County, Komen San Diego is set to Make Change in a challenging economy with a new campaign – The Make Change campaign.

The ad shown above ran in the San Diego U-T Sunday paper featuring our little radio show! All KFMB team members are raising money for the cause. You can contribute here or go to our web page at: sandiegojack.com . I donated $25 and hope you will match that amount or better it.


The whole DSC Crew also autographed a new pink bra to raise more money for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure fund.  You have to take a look at it and you should also place a bid on this lil' beauty on Ebay here. None of the guys wore it - we just signed it!

As usual we had some fun behind the scenes in the KFMB photo studio. Elaina's Dad, Barry Smith, was our photographer. He and his stellar crew put up with us trying to hurry the process along. Needless to say, the boys were a tad uncomfortable wearing their lingerie and wanted to get it over with. They noticed how uncomfortable bra's are and wondered how on earth we put up with them. My answer in one word - gravity.

I took these pics with my Blackberry while the photo team was getting ready.

 Boyer, Dave and Chainsaw

Chainsaw insists people always publish the wackiest photo's of him, but when he poses like this - what else can you do. I love ya, big guy!

Thanks to everyone in Promotions, Sales and Management at Jack-FM, 100.7 KFMB for making this possible and for their support of The DSC.

News & EventsThat Happened Since DSC's Last Show!

Did you hear the great news?! The DSC has a new job! We'll be back on the radio, August 2nd, on Jack 100.7 FM. You can read about it here. The DSC Show, (Dave Ricards, Shelly Dunn, Cookie "Chainsaw" Randolph, Chris Boyer, Emily Maguire and I, Ruth 66) got fired from KGB radio in San Diego, CA on Jan. 3, 2010. We've missed you all so much and can't wait to get back to work!

 We've also missed talking about a lot of good stuff, with our wonderful friends and listener's since we've been gone, so I've been keeping a list. Here are the major news stories from around the world, the U.S. and in San Diego; some pop culture stuff, celebrity bad behavior and of course -- celebrity deaths.

 

January 2010:

A major earthquake devastated Haiti.

 

Grammy Awards - with standout performances by Elton John  in his duet with Lady Gaga and also Pink. I blogged about it here.

February 2010:

Super Bowl 44 - The New Orleans Saints win their first Super Bowl and beat the Colts 31-17. Many of us rooted for The Saints just to see former San Diego Charger, Drew Brees finally get a ring.  (July - He also wrote a book, "Come Back Stronger." Plus, Drew and The Saints won big at the Espy awards!)

The Winter Olympics in Vancouver Canada; the U.S. won the most medals at 37. I was inspired by the color and blogged about it here. I really loved the whole thing and hated to see it end.

Molly, the wild barn owl, laid eggs and set up housekeeping in San Marcos with her partner McGee. 17 million viewers tuned in from all over the world to watch the family on a web cam through May. Please read my blog post about it here.

March 2010:

Oscar Awards - Sandra Bullock wins best actress, then finds out her husband has been cheating on her; hence keeping the Best Actress "Curse" intact. (They're now officially divorced.) We also learned she had secretly adopted a baby boy. I blogged about the Oscar's here.

The House Passes the Health Care Overhaul Bill. You can read about it here.

Poway teen, Chelsea King, was abducted while jogging in Escondido. The man who murdered her also confessed to killing Escondido teen, Amber Dubois last year. San Diego united in its support for the King family as Chelsea's death rocked our community. The King family is planning to leave the state.

Kendra Wilkenson Basket's sex tape was released. TMZ says Kendra tried to sell  it herself in 2008, but Vivid Entertainment bought it in May. She was said to be "devastated" by its release.
Oh brother... Meanwhile, she is now a best selling author on the New York Times Best Sellers List.

April 2010:

A 6.9 Earthquake hit east of San Diego on Easter Sunday. It was felt all over the county and shook us up, because it lasted 30 seconds! There was some damage in Baja, Mexico, but not in SD.

Brett Michaels had a brain hemorrhage and was in "grave" condition. A few weeks later he had a small stroke. But he recovered in record time and showed up for the American Idol finale, performed on the Grammy's and won Celebrity Apprentice. Now he's being considered for a job on AI as the new judge. He has a new album out in July and plans a world tour!

A BP Oil Rig explodes devastating the Louisiana gulf coast. Millions of gallons of oil continue to pour into the Gulf of Mexico everyday. The clean up is still going on, but the loss of lives and livelihoods is untold.

  Arizona Passes a Tough Anti Illegal Immigration Law.

  Ash Cloud from Iceland Volcano Shuts Down European Air Travel.

May 2010:

Betty White Hosted Saturday Night Live- Highest ratings in years and one of the funniest shows ever.  Her role also garnered an Emmy nomination.

Elena Kagan was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court.

 June 2010:

The L.A. Lakers won the NBA Championship for the 2nd year in a row, beating the Boston Celtics. Read my blog post about it here.

 World Cup Soccer where the U.S. team played twice and caused a ton of excitement. Thousands of San Diegans packed local bars and restaurants to watch Spain win their first world title.

How anyone put up with those annoying vuvuzela horn's - I don't know. It made the games unwatchable for me. Ugh!

 

The best part of the World Cup was that Paul, the Oracle Octopus, correctly chose the winners for eight matches. He's seen here taking the lid off a glass container with the Spanish flag, to eat a mussel. How weird is that? The Germans threatened to eat Paul.

Larry King announced he would retire from his 25 year talk show on CNN. He said, if it were up to him, Ryan Seacrest would be his replacement. 

 Check out Letterman's Top 10 Reasons Why Larry is Retiring:  

 

July 2010:

Tiger Woods is set to pay his hot wife anywhere from $100 to $750 million in their divorce settlement.

 

Don Coryell died on July 1st without being inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. A public memorial was held at SDSU on the 12th.

 

San Diego had another earthquake! This one was 5.4 and centered near Borrego Springs.

 

Lindsey Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 90 days in rehab for violating her probation. She'll check in July 20th. The photo below show's her in court with an "eff you" message on her manicure.

Mel Gibson - an audio rant was released where he brutally berates his ex-girlfriend using profanity and racial slurs. He threatens to burn down her house, but only after she blo** him. He's already facing abuse charges and has a restraining order again him. His long time management company fired him and his career is probably over. You can listen to it at RadarOnline.com, but it's shocking to hear that level of hatred and verbal violence. He's officially lost his mind and has turned into his South Park caricature.

 

Riots broke out in Okland, CA after the involuntary manslaughter verdict came down for a white cop, who shot Oscar Grant, an unarmed black man.

 

LeBron James got huge ratings for a one hour show on ESPN, "The Decision," to announce he's leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat. His old jersey was burned by some angry fans and Cavs owner, Dan Gilbert, was fined $100K for his scathing letter to LeBron. You can read it here.
