Card Playing Day The holiday season has come and gone, and the end of the year is in sight. You know what you need to do now? Thats right, you need to sit back and play out a few rounds of solitaire, or maybe get the family together for a night of Texas Holdem, Slap Jack, or War. Whatever your pleasure, Card Playing Day is a chance to wind down from all the kerfluffle of the season by engaging in a card game or three. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/card-playing-day/Human Rights Month During World War II there were four basic goals stated by the Allies, that ever man and woman should know and experience four freedoms. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom from fear, and Freedom from want. These ideas were set in place and upheld, but as was made clear by the atrocities committed by Hitler, they were woefully insufficient to guarantee and enforce the freedoms they represented. So it came to pass in December of 1948 that the United nations General Assembly put forth 30 articles that cover everything from rights to education, freedom, health, and more. Since this event these articles have served to help protect civilians in time of war or dictatorship, to help bring POWs home, and to ensure that people everywhere are allowed to live in liberty and safety. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/human-rights-month/

or if they had all been raptured instead?
Then again, we may have both been left behind...

I am here and bouncing around between this, email (gotta check those wonderful offers from Amazon), Facebook, JPR and a few photo and game related web pages.
