****The Official Friday Silliness Thread****

Posted on 05/23/2008 6:08:49 AM PDT by Lucky9teen

Many people observe this holiday by visiting cemeteries and memorials. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 9 p.m. US Eastern time. Another tradition is to fly the U.S. flag at half-staff from dawn until noon local time. Volunteers place an American flag upon each gravesite located in a National Cemetery. The U.S. Air Force's "101 Critical Days of Summer" begin on this day as well. Some Americans use Memorial Day to also honor any family members who have died, not just servicemen.

       

In addition to remembrance, Memorial Day is also a time for picnics, barbecues, family gatherings, and sporting events. Some Americans also view Memorial Day as the unofficial beginning of summer and Labor Day as the unofficial end of the season.

The national "Click It or Ticket" campaign ramps up beginning Memorial Day weekend, noting the beginning of the most dangerous season for auto accidents and other safety related incidents.


On that note.... since the cost of gas is so dang high anyway,

it's probably not a bad idea to stay home and celebrate the holiday....

So let's kick of the 3 day weekend with some silliness....
And remember all those who have died for this great country!  God Bless you all and Thank You.

What Your Fridge Says About You
You like to be surrounded by things you love. You aren't exactly greedy, but you can be materialistic at times.

You tend to be a fairly thrifty person. You splurge occasionally, but you're mostly a saver.

You don't tend to be a very adventurous person, but you do surprise everyone now and then. You have a bit of a wild side.

You are responsible, together, and mature. You act like an adult, even when you don't feel like it.

You are likely single - and a workaholic.
What Do the Contents of Your Refrigerator Say About You?


Nope....married with 4 kids...I mean 3 kids and a husband... ;)

It seems most likely. I’ve never been near a tornado, but I know they can do that. Interestingly, the truck is probably intact except for scrapes, while the Vette is totalled. I wonder what the rest of the house looks like. Notice there’s no garage door anymore.

Weekend plans--see Indiana Jones & Prince Caspian, and not get within ten yards of my chemistry lab manual (I've been writing lab reports all week...)

This lolcat I made is unrelated but good for a laugh...had to post it:
