If you want a holiday worth celebrating, it’s got to be “April 10th Day”.

Because it is “National Chocolate Overindulgence Day!” (the exclamation point is part of the title.)

Its purpose is not just to eat chocolate, but to OVEREAT chocolate, until its muscle relaxant ingredient, phenylalanine, kicks in, and leaves you unwilling to stand up. For a typical adult, that is about 1 pound of REAL chocolate.

Since eating a pound of chocolate isn’t easy, it is best to mix and match various kinds of chocolate. But not too much other ingredients like fillings, because you don’t want to spoil your appetite.

It’s too late for this year, but be sure to mark it on your calendars for next year.

“April 10th Day”, “National Chocolate Overindulgence Day!”

Though I know some people who struggle on Mother’s Day they just avoid celebrating it.
Being a Mother of 3 children who I love with all my heart, I enjoy the little things about Mother’s Day. A hug, a phone call (from my Marine) is all I need.
I would hope that everyone has an “adopted” mother who they want to acknowledge.

Last year on mother’s day, our young associate priest said Mass and he started his homily with, “Before I give my sermons on Sunday, my mother reads them...this week she said, K___, there is no mention of Mother’s Day. Mom, Mother’s Day is not a feast in the Church. K_____, there is no mention of Mother’s Day.” So, Father K______, thus wished all the mothers Happy Mother’s Day.

This is a great example of malignant narcissism. “I’m offended/saddened/angered so you can’t do ______”. Huh?

If they want to make some headway, they need to get Obama to make a speech denouncing Hallmark.

I never needed a “Mother’s Day” or “Father’s Day” to love and honor my parents. Mothers and Fathers Days were just dreamed up by the retail industry to stimulate sales. I don’t want a gift on Mother’s Day. I just want to be with my children that day. That, to me, is the greatest gift.

In fact, the group argues that there are many reasons not to force Americans to honor mothers

When has the government ever forced anyone to honor mother's day? There is a day set aside for people who wish to honor their mother, if you don't happen to have a mother then you are not required to observe the day.

Just more liberal BS aimed at tearing down the morals and traditions of the USA.
