Oct 20 2022 -Days of the Week

We are well enough financially to live in comfort, but not well-enough off to live a life of leisure.  That's why we need funny jokes to get us through the week. What four days of the week start with the letter T? Answer: Tuesday, Thursday, today and tomorrow. What occurs twice in a week, once in a year but never in a day? Answer: The letter E. Q. Why is Tuesday the unsung hero of the week?  A. Because it's the furthest from next Monday!  Q. What do you call a week with no Wednesday?  A. Humphrey. Q. Why does Wednesday hate Thursday?  A. Because it's the only thing blocking Friday!   Did you hear about the guy who put on a clean pair of socks every day of the week? By Friday he could hardly get his shoes on. Q. How is a weekend just like a rainbow?  A. You can see them from a distance, but when you get close they begin to disappear. Q. What do you call somebody who only experiences extreme anxiety on Saturday and Sunday?  A. A weekend worrier. Today's picture is a silly Queen Street clothing store display from quite a few years ago.

There's a Prequel and Sequel to Valentine's Day

Did you know that there's a valentine for each day leading up to the BIG DAY Feb 14th?     Did you know that Valentines week is followed by an Anti-Valentine week from the 15th to the 21st?  I didn't know about this at all.  Here are the days.     Huffington Post has 33 Anti-Valentine's Day Gifts for People Who Despise Valentine's Day.  Oh dear.  Such  spiteful sentiments being expressed.  How did it get to being this way? One is able to retrieve many entries for Valentine's Day battlefield. Of course, a number of these are titles - songs, books, games - lots of games. Here's a definition from cuepoint.com on the notion of the discordancy of Valentine's Day. "Valentine's Day is frequently a battlefield—not just for single people, but for people in general. If you're unpartnered, Valentine's Day is like some Noah's Ark-style party you're barred from attending; but if you're dating someone, it's all too often a compulsory party that fills you with a nameless dread. Having to prove your romantic devotion on an arbitrarily selected day can seriously backfire (ask any of your server friends about the carnage they witness while waiting tables on Valentine’s Day)." Here's our picture to match today's battleground story - a tarnished, worn and weathered boat.
