Daily Holidays - June 1

National Go Barefoot Day Whether you’re at work or not, find a way to rebel against shoes, be it running barefoot through the grass and pampering your feet, or kicking off your shoes under your desk at work when your boss isn’t looking. Show support to the charity Soles4Souls, a global charity trying to put shoes on the feet of 300 million underprivileged children. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/go-barefoot-day/

Running Day You’ve got places to be, right? So why are you wasting time by just walking – pick those feet up and embrace Running Day by zooming to your destination at double speed! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/running-day/

Say Something Nice Day Say Something Nice Day began in Charleston, South Carolina, when the Mayors of North Charleston and Charleston came together with members of the Charleston-Atlantic Presbytery and the South Carolina Baptist Convention to create a day to be kind to the special people in our lives, like our children. It’s also a day to remember and celebrate people, who provide us with a variety of services, such as bus drivers, healthcare workers and teachers. And, it’s a great opportunity to apologize to people that we might have wronged or hurt through our behaviour. The aim of this special day is to fight against unkindness, bullying and the lack of politeness that dominates society today. The creators hope that this one day of pleasantness will grow, until people are nice to each other everyday. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/say-something-nice-day/

as the primary season as taken it's convoluted course through time and they may remain difficult for many. I personally had my candidate a long time ago, agreed with them on pretty much everything and have been happy to send them a bit every month. So I had no real need to get into a discussion of the who, what and how's of all things and made sure I did not do so. Trashing the GDP and the other candidates forum helped considerably as well as those posts never showed up on my latest threads page.

That said, your efforts toward civility have not gone unnoticed at least by myself and are appreciated!

Plus, I got a post removed in 2004 for telling off a troll, so I learned my lesson.

And I've been sure of my candidate since at least 2012, LOL. I have ties to the neighboring state and asked my friend who still lives there to please invite me to go with her to his campaign rallies.

I think we all appreciate those, like you, who make the effort to post something guaranteed to distract and entertain us. That's needed so badly right now...

Just kidding. We all love Sherman and his holiday posts here. And besides, we know his mother had him tested.

Partly kidding, because for some the new month means new bills that may be hard to pay.

it's from walking barefoot on this tile. But I hate shoes this time of the year.
