A friend of mine brought this to my attention this morning. Why is Black History Month the shortest month of the year?
It is an interesting qustion. Discuss.
Which month is ‘White History Month’ ?
How about ‘Asian History Month’ ?
Discuss.
Because you have MLK day the month before which usually serves to get the festivities going several weeks early? ![]()
Why does HIV/AIDS get a single day, while breast cancer gets an entire month and other deadly diseases get 0 days or months?
Please discuss.
Why do they get any days at all?
Shouldn’t they be realized and understood and get attention 24/7? (And don’t they already)?
The only diseases that get the attention they deserve are those whose cures are found.
I agree, though, that setting aside certain days as ‘holidays’ (holy days) is fickle. We should live each day as if it were equally holy.
In the US, all of them… ![]()
Actually, there is a National Asian/Pacific Islander Month. October, maybe? I have no idea why Asians and Pacific Islanders are wrapped into one. If for genetic reasons, Native Americans should be included, not to mention there are Asians of different races. If for cultural reasons, I think someone’s missing something.
So.. did you get up on the wrong side of the bed, or did you just want pick a fight? Huh? Huh? ![]()
Honestly, February has been Black History Month for some time. I think it is good that we have it, and I don’t think that it is a conspiracy that it’s two or three days shorter than any otehr month.
So… who ya whistlin’ for in the Super Bowl?
February also is
American Heart Month
American History Month
Children’s Dental Health Month
International Friendship Month
National Cherry Month
National Embroidery Month
National Grapefruit Month
National Snack Food Month
National Wild Bird Feeding Month
Responsible Pet Owners’ Month
Want to discuss any of these? ![]()
Aint that the truth?!
I have no idea why Asians and Pacific Islanders are wrapped into one.
Just hard to tell 'em all apart, I guess. ![]()
(Does everyone from Catalina Island count as a Pacific Islander?)
National Snack Food Month
How can they just lump smoked almonds, senbei, roasted green peas, beef jerky, BBQ potato chips, Wheat Thins, and Cheetos together like that? ![]()
It ain’t right! ![]()
February also is
International Friendship Month
Want to discuss any of these?
Yaaay! ![]()
Three cheers for all our International Friends, and a Hip Hip Huzzah for all the mere National ones too.
Now I can chat and post all month without the usual feelings of guilt.
Is there a national Whistle player’s month?
February is also Brewster’s birthday month. If you need any shopping hints, just ask.
Is there a national Whistle player’s month?
I do think we should establish a lobby… after all… we’re people too…er… well… except for Glauber…
The reason there is no whistle month is because of a conspiracy by “the man” to keep us down. We will be heard!! Hit those high notes!!!
