Punky Old Broad's Day:
Do they qualify?
What other special days can be discovered?

amazing and incredible days happen in February. There are the ones that
affirm we still recognize what needs to be on this list:
World Cancer Day World Day of Social Justice World Peace and Understanding Day National Autism Day National Missing Persons Day National Freedom Day (from Slavery)
There

development. They are select days that can take away darkness:

I featured one of the other days of February. It in on Feb. 6, .an important day. It represents intolerance for female genital mutilation ...You get the idea. Go to the site listed.
February is important to me for the family birthdays, only four now instead of the six originals, since both parents are long gone. Valentine's Day means nothing to me.
ReplyDeleteValentines and Halloween were my least important holidays when I was teaching. KIds would go bonkers over the candy and be high on sugar. Halloween was another thing that made kids sugared up.
DeleteFeb my sons turn 59 and 61, which makes me feel even older than I am. I was 20 and 22 when they were born. wow. My oldest got married on Valentine's day.
ReplyDeletethe 2nd video I stopped when they ate blood . OH MY WORD... I made it through 1 minute on the first and watched in horror the last video.
I pay no attention to days that are celebrated, not even most of the major ones. it has always been strange to me how people find all these days..
my kids are 50, 47, and 45. Yours ate blood??
Deleteyes, they are blood. My first husband in 1963.
DeleteDo I dare watch the strangest foods?
ReplyDeleteThe one on February 6 should include what happens here in the states...
I did watch the first one. Pass on all of it.
DeleteMy brother's birthday is in February, so that's always been a special month for our family, Susan. And yes, the Golden Girls rule that category! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteI love the Golden Girls; that was a great show.
DeleteI have three grandchildren and a great-grandchild with birthdays in February. As for special days I'll take Iowa Day and National Cabbage Day.
ReplyDeleteNational Cabbage dad would be my choice.
DeleteFebruary is a strange little month.
ReplyDeleteIt is strange. It is after winter, but not quite spring, and the snow get slushy and muddy.
DeleteThe 14th is Valentine's Day, the 16th is President's Day, the 17th is Mardi Gras and Lunar New Year. Trust me, it's not a boring month when all those happen within just a few days of each other.
ReplyDeleteIt is chockablock.
DeleteI do like the old girls, but OUCH on some of the strange foods. YOu dig up some goodies (I mean good ideas!)
ReplyDeleteI would not try any of those foods at this stage of life.
DeleteFebruary seems to drag on with bad weather while July with 31 days flies by! I did always look forward to February 28th. My birthday! Somehow, it's not a national holiday? When I was a kid I was always excited about the birthday. Now I'm just glad to wake and realize I'm still breathing!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth! Feb. 28? Not Leap Day? An old man, Roy
DeleteWeaver, lived up the road with a Feb. 29 b-day. Dad told me that he was really close to 20 or 21, but his years were 84._
Just based on the thumbnails, I knew I couldn't stomach watching either video, thankyouverymuch. I kinda like February. Short and sweet. Things are starting to warm up, even if we get snow, it's spring snow that melts quickly. And, perhaps the silliest reason of all for liking February, it makes my organized little heart so happy. Four weeks exactly (except for leap year, which always screws it up), so Saturday, Feb 7 translates to Saturday, March 7. For some reason, that makes me happy.
