MLK has always inspired me and his “I have a Dream” speech still makes chills run down my spine. I’ll let you in on a little secret – I’m a bit of a dreamer too (shhh don’t tell anyone). Thought I’d share my dreams about #militarymon (on Twitter and beyond) with you. If you were …
* This tattoo was too cool not to share. My lunch date (see pic below – tall guy) had this on his leg. He was hit by an RPG and is missing some of the muscles in his leg. He can still press 500 pounds and competes in events (marathons, triathlons – you name it) …
Yep – doing the #militarymon thing on Twitter again. We start Sunday when Monday starts in Kabul and continue through our Monday. Come over and honor all the men and women who serve, our veterans, our fallen heroes, and military families on Twitter. @kissmygumbo
Many thanks to my friend Troy from Bouhammer (his post about it is here) for following through with my suggestion for a #militarymon t-shirt in a week’s time.

Update: For everyone involved in the contest mentioned on point #6 – good luck and have fun. 1. Who is @kissmygumbo? My name is Greta Perry and I’m just some 41 yo stoopid housewife (hate that word – but I never sit on the couch and eat bon-bons), mom of 3 who supports the troops …
@kissmygumbo here. Try explaining to your visiting parents why you woke up early on Monday to get on Twitter. Never mind…Dad never touched a computer and Mom (who will read this), does fine on…er…uh…e-mail. Explaining Twitter=FAIL. Seriously, the world should freaking stop on Mondays so I can tweet all day – LOL. Why? Because, of …
What can I say – but Carson Daly (@carsonjdaly) really cares about our military. Most celebrities don’t seem to “get it” but he does! HOOAH! If you did not know, Carson and I have teamed up on Twitter to recognize the military with #militarymon. So far, it seems to be working and it will get …
I’ve (@kissmygumbo) been disciplining myself to write “big girl” posts each Monday and this week it is FAIL! Instead of this being some post worthy of publication, you get more of my useless drivel. You see, Monday has become a big traffic day on Kiss My Gumbo, because I launched this Twitter hashtag craze #Militarymon …

@kissmygumbo in case you want to follow me! I’ve been on Twitter for quite some time now and hit the 1500 follower mark yesterday (I is soooo special). Why do I use Twitter (d’uh I’m a web geek and have to try everything new)? Well…the first thing that appealed to me was the New Orleans …
I survived my first solo radio show – no guests. Here is the podcast. Since April of 2008 I’ve been doing interview-based radio. I seriously almost hurled this morning with the anticipation of going solo and taking on the daring topic of race and politics. I’m a bigger lunatic than I thought – LOL. Switching …
* Twitter is a form of social networking http:/twitter.com * My friend @yatpundit has a good summary on how to use Twitter * You have to say what you want in 140 characters or less * You follow people and they follow you back, ignore you or block you * You can place links in …
* Holy %^#*^ Batman – it is almost Christmas!!! * Still excited about the Veterans radio show I had this past weekend. Why? Because I realize that by having radio as a platform, there is a way I can help (even if just a little bit). You can listen here. * Had fun at a …
My friend Shelle sent me a link to Tweetwasters because she was completely convinced I would end up in the Tweetwaster Hall of Fame. Phew – I didn’t Just how much time DO you spend on Twitter? Greta Perry has 2107 total tweets and assuming they spent an average of 30 seconds per tweet they’ve …
