Rock 'N Ribs to raise awareness and money for organ donation

On August 20, 2011, the 16th Annual Texas Uprising BBQ Dinner and concert will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah (pictured) at the Gallivan Center. The dinner and concert will raise money to benefit Team Donate Life Utah and Intermountain Donor Services and will last from 6 P.M. to 10 P.M. that evening at 239 S. Main Street in the Gallivan Center ampitheater.

The dinner and concert are part of Rock 'N Ribs, a barbeque competition sanctioned by the Kansas City BBQ Association, which will be held earlier in the day. It sounds like a great event for a great cause. If you live in the area, please go check it out. If I lived in the area, I would be there. It's hard to pass up good barbeque.

Tickets for the event are $35 in advance and $45 at the door. You can get tickets online at www.texasuprising.com/

Perhaps the best "Dear Abby" ever

Dear Abby,

My husband has a long record of money problems. He runs up huge credit-card bills and at the end of the month, if I try to pay them off, he shouts at me, saying I am stealing his money. He says, "Pay the minimum and let our kids worry about the rest," but already we can hardly keep up with the interest. Also he has been so arrogant and abusive toward our neighbors that most of them no longer speak to us. The few that do are an odd bunch, to whom he has been giving a lot of expensive gifts, running up our bills even more. Also, he has gotten religious. One week he hangs out with Catholics and the next with people who say the Pope is the Anti-Christ, and the next he's with Muslims.. Finally, the last straw. He's demanding that before anyone can be in the same room with him, they must sign a loyalty oath. It's just so horribly creepy! Can you help?

Signed, Lost in DC

Dear Lost:

Stop whining, Michelle. You're getting to live in the White House for free, travel the world, and have others pay for everything for you. You can divorce the jerk any time you want.

The rest of us are stuck with him for two more years!

Signed, Abby
