Better late than never, I always say. <br /><br />Ok I am laughing at all the funny times that you guys mentioned your birthdays fall on. Not to hurt anyone's feelings but I never realized that so many things were celebrated here. I guess I am behind the times. <br /><br />One time my brother put an announcement in the paper about my birthday. That was embarassing!Michele L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15827059770508809460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-91838532330582638722011-01-21T13:37:18.474-06:002011-01-21T13:37:18.474-06:00Jeannie, I'm sure Angel didn't mean it lik...Jeannie, I'm sure Angel didn't mean it like that. Its just odd to have it be a month that celebrates sexual diversity and at the same time, a month that suppresses any sexuality altogether. I think we're all very aware that promiscuity has nothing to do with orientation. I know plenty of straight people who get around and gay people who are in long term committed relationships. And vice versa. <br /><br />PC, I think you have to petition the government somehow to get a day or month. Not sure what office, exactly. Maybe write to your congressman. :)Andrea Laurence AKA Smarty Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518751514879244662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-66315026888158608262011-01-21T12:08:38.383-06:002011-01-21T12:08:38.383-06:00My BD is electronics greetings day lol.

One is about sexual orientation and the other is about the sex act itself. Big difference.

The funniest to me? It is both National GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, trangender) month AND National Celebacy month. Shouldn't those cancel each other out?<br /><br />My birthday falls in both World Menopause week and Superman week. :)<br /><br />My birthday is National Abused Womens and Childrens Day, Crowded Nest Awareness Day (huh?), Loving Day (fight against racial prejudice), Orthodox Pentecost, Rageddy Ann and Andy Day, and World Wind Day. Pretty serious stuff there. I'm a little concerned about that. :)<br /><br />AngelAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010424240956906870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-86834292233431344242011-01-21T08:48:31.776-06:002011-01-21T08:48:31.776-06:00My birthday is Embrace Your Geekness Day and Grunt...My birthday is Embrace Your Geekness Day and Gruntled Workers Day. I'm not entirely sure what that says about me... Although, I suppose we could celebrate by buying some new electronics and playing computer games all day? <br /><br />July is also Cell Phone Courtesy Month. I'm behind this one wholeheartedly. Oh, and it's Mango and Melon Month and National Grilling Month. I see a backyard barbeque in our future.<br /><br />InstigatorKira Sinclair - AKA Instigatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274056066229852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-70030237956934224432011-01-21T07:53:15.502-06:002011-01-21T07:53:15.502-06:00So, November is Historic Bridge Awareness month. ...So, November is Historic Bridge Awareness month. You don't have to appreciate them or anything, just be aware of historic bridges. (Do they bite or something?)<br /><br />My question: who decides? Who makes it official? Can I declare a Kimberly Lang Appreciation month?

It's also Safety Pin Day among other things.<br /><br />My birthday is at the end of the Masters Golf Tournament, National Networking Week and Hate Week. <br /><br />I don't have an anniversary any more, but when I did, it was Cinco de Mayo. It's also International Midwives' Day, National Day of Prayer, National Day of Reason and Totally Chipotle Day. <br /><br />The one I had to look up was Martin Z. Mollusk Day. If a hermit crab in Ocean City, New Jersey, sees its shadow that day, which is always the first Thursday in May, summer will come one week early.<br /><br />After the winter we've had, go Martin!Playground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.com
