Wave All Your Fingers at Your Neighbor Day
February 7th, 2012
Not one, not two, not even three! Make sure you wave all your fingers at your neighbor today. That's right, turn to the person on your right, put on a big smile and... jazz hands!

Happy Birthday Boy Scouting of America! On this day in 1910 you were created here in America a few years after Sir Robert Baden-Powell started it in the UK. It's incredibly important for turning young boys into proper young men using, of all things, merit badges. Now repeat the oath after me: on my honor, I will do my best to do my duty... to get as many merit badges as I can today.
National Kite Flying Day
February 8th, 2012
There is no doubt that kites have changed history, and our lives, forever! Legend has it that in 1752, Benjamin Franklin flew one and, after a shock, discovered electricity. What will you discover when you go fly a kite?
Damn, beat me to it. :laugh:Quote:

Lox (cured salmon) and schmear were made for one another. And someone had the smarts to dedicate a whole day to it. Whether you like them toasted or straight from the bag, these holey breads are straight from heaven when topped with lox. Give it a try!
National Toothache Day
February 9th, 2012
Get thee to a dentist! Otherwise you'll be celebrating this day in agony and not grinning from ear to ear.
Read in the Bathtub Day
February 9th, 2012
Aside from the pruney fingers and toes, what could possibly go wrong bringing a book into the bathtub?
Just make sure it's not your KindleQuote:

Is there a thread you haven't posted this on? :icon_wink:Quote:

I posted it on 3 threads. I grew up in Shreveport and lived not too far from Independence Stadium. I graduated from Fair Park High School. But, after we played Grambling at the Independence stadium.......we couldn't get out of the friggin parking lot. It was way late when i finally got back to Natchitoches. That just didn't sit well with me.Quote:

That...I don't doubt. He did 100 years already.Quote:

Guarantee that if you bring homemade cream cheese brownies to work today, they'll be gone before lunch. That's because we will be waiting for you. With a fork and a glass of milk.

2256 to 2258: Eris will reach perihelion for the first time since discovery.
Umbrella Day
February 10th, 2012
Brolly, gamp, parasol, bumbershoot - whatever you call it, umbrellas are made for one thing - protecting you from the elements. As you go out into the world today, don't forget your brolly! It might just save your hair.
I wish I would have know this this morning.Quote:

Notes
- James T. Kirk is romantically involved with Janet Wallace. (TOS: "The Deadly Years")
- Spock meets Leila Kalomi on Earth. (TOS: "This Side of Paradise")
- Dr. Roger Korby sends his last transmission from the planet of Exo III. (TOS: "What Are Little Girls Made Of?")
The following events occur in this year, according to the Star Trek Chronology:
- David Marcus is born to James T. Kirk and Carol Marcus
- The USS Enterprise completes its third five-year mission.
- Nyota Uhura graduates from Starfleet Academy.
Star Trek 2262
Events
Notes
- Areel Shaw and James T. Kirk meet each other for the last time before Kirk's trial in 2267. (TOS: "Court Martial")
- SS Beagle crash-lands on 892-IV after having sustained heavy meteor damage, its crew are captured by the inhabitants. (TOS: "Bread and Circuses")
- The Star Trek Chronology places the meeting between Shaw and Kirk one year later, because the authors rounded the "four years, eleven months and twenty-three days" off to four years.
- 2263: The Fifth Element. The full date is seen in the post-it-like clock, when the protagonist presses it to stop its beeping.
I do not believe in that stuff. Plus it's creepy.Quote:

It's difficult to resist, spilling your milk and then crying over it. But hey, it's not the end of the world. No need to get upset. It's not that bad!
National Make a Friend Day
February 11th, 2012
Make new friends, but keep the old... the song is not wrong. When you make new friends on this friendly holiday, don't forget the old ones. They know all your deep dark secrets!
National Peppermint Patty Day
February 11th, 2012
Low in fat and calories, most of the time, peppermint patties are fabulously tasty, especially after dinner with a cup of coffee. But if you don't believe us, just ask Charles M. Schulz. He nicknamed a character after this minty, chocolaty snack. Good grief!
I need to get my boys aware of thisQuote:

I'm very discouraged, Chuck. We just had a 'true and false' test and it followed an essay test. We still have three months of school. There'll be more study, more tests, and more agony. How can one fall in love when all these stupid things are going on? Tests to do, reports to write - all these dumb things to do. There's no time for love, Chuck.

Original Air date January 22, 1987
It is Saturday. I'm going to install a new water filtration system so we will have good pure drinking water at my house.
You've been on wikipedia too long. You need to go outside and get some fresh air.
TOO Cold :)Quote:

Get a Different Name Day
February 13th, 2012
A day your parents will not be so happy about! Don't like your name? Today you are expected to do something about it. That's right, its time to fill out all the petitions, orders and affidavits, getting them stamped and notarized. And after you publish an announcement in the newspaper (for legal reasons) you'll have to take your new name paperwork to the DMV, the Social Security office, get a new passport, a new birth certificate, change your business cards, email addresses, postal address, call the IRS... wow, this name changing business might just be more trouble than its worth! Unless you change it to Chad Ochocinco. That's just cool.
National Tortellini Day
February 13th, 2012
In Bologna, Italy, where it's been said tortellini was created, there is an underground secret society known as the Learned Order of the Tortellini. Their mission? To preserve the tortellini. So as you can imagine they're very upset that you've tossed aside their little pasta pockets of joy for that long, stringy noodle! Now quick, cook up a pot of traditional tortellini soup before it's too late!

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Expectations are really high today on the romance factor. There better be a candlelit dinner, flowers or candy in your future or someone's sleeping in the dog house tonight.
National Ferris Wheel Day
February 14th, 2012
I suppose George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. Day didn't have quite the same ring to it. This day honors the inventor of the amusement park favorite. In almost every major city in the world you will find a Ferris Wheel, from Santa Monica, CA to Vienna, Austria. Nice legacy, George.
I many people have name there kids George Washington <insert last name>. Why didn't they just go with George?
National Organ Donor Day
February 14th, 2012
A movement to get more people to sign up to be organ donors. Pretty great idea. Organ donors save lives. It's a fact.

Hi guys:
Missed ya. I've been off my feet since last Thursday. I grew a blood clot from waste to ankle on the port side. Now, after a procedure and 5 days of hospital, I'm home taking "old folk's" medicine and trying to get back on my feet. You never know what challenge lies around the corner. Take care guys. Happy V-Day. Give those special ones a big old hug.
From another Old dog from Baton Rouge (now in Dallas), take it easy and enjoy, hope it all works out for you.Quote:
