From Hobby To Passion

February 23, 2009

The magic of beadcraft and jewelry-making, brought to you in four parts by Dr. Laura Schlessinger. The results can be purchased from her website, with all the proceeds going to Operation Family Fund, a charity which has raised over $1,700,000 for families of soldiers wounded or killed in the Global War On Terrorism. The series is notable for its complete lack of moralizing or comments on a relevant family controversy-- seriously, this is really just about beads, people!

When kids are hungry, Dr. Laura tells parents to purchase a Dave Ramsey program for about a grand... Dave Ramsey is Bad at Math

Dr. Laura is not no nonsense or realistic. Her history with "charity" is shallow and more public relation centered. Be sure to read the reports by Robert L. Hanafin, Major, U.S. Air Force-Retired, in Veterans Today:
