Good morning, Netizens…
Here are a few important (and
unimportant) holidays this month of October 2009 which you might or
might not have heard of much less missed:
Yes, by all means help America’s animal
shelters by adopting a shelter dog. Then you will possibly have a use
for all those old newspapers piled in the hall closet.
Do you have a personal one-on-one
relationship with your pharmacist?
I am fond of telling about my history,
including Apple Jack, so it makes sense to me we should have a month
about it. Of course, since my granddad’s Apple Jack was notoriously
delightful, people often dropped by unannounced to surreptitiously
steal free samples, which is when he began making pear jack, which is
a speedy and very strong replacement for Ex lax.
Why not instead simply have a Breast
Cancer awareness Day every day?
In October we are supposed to
appreciate our clergy, then at the end of the month we spend an
estimated $6.9 billion celebrating Halloween, werewolves and other
dead devices?
I still have a hard time accepting the
number of people who own, operate and seemingly understand computers
who know little to nothing about them or the software they use.
Here’s another month-long observation
that needs to be made into a daily observation.
Of course, without truly understanding
the difference between a country ham and an urban ham (except the
urban ham gets more laughs during stand-up comedy shows) I submit
that most people wouldn’t know the difference between a country ham
and any other brand of ham.
I personally believe there isn’t a lot
of difference between buying your child a drum for Christmas or a
pregnant cat.
Over 1.4 million people have and suffer
with lupus. The rest of us probably have little knowledge of what it
is, save that it HURTS
like hell.
Is there a common factor between these?
Perhaps, but at least we only have one
celebration of chocolate, and it’s only one day of the year. If you
are going to beat diabetes, get used to not eating the things you
love or else change what you crave. Yes m’dear, they do have
sugar-free chocolate.
And of course, there is National
Vegetarian Month, Sarcastic Month and Seafood Month in the Month of
October. However, you can be grateful that tomorrow, November 1, we have a whole new month of unseen holidays (some of us never heard of) to celebrate.
