Re: Memorial Day
It's almost Memorial day for this year.
What are your plans?Hope I can get out for some long drive but I'm waiting for the shipment of my replacement tires that I just bought form 4WheelOnline. Maybe I just have to rewatch season 4 of Steven Universe and wait for its 1 hour special. :=L:

Though I also have to agree there are more than a few who practice the "Do as I say not as I do" method of things.

Re: Memorial Day
Our Aldi's grocery store is closed today. I like that idea. Way back when, more places were closed on holidays, and even on Sundays.

Whatever your personal beliefs, people have PAID for this.
Which is especially sad if you consider they not only died probably for their country but are not even recognized as dead in most instance by the country they died for.

I try to stay away from stores as much as possible on the "Holidays" as it's bad enough to me on regular days. Facing a threat of combat on the ship was not as scary to me as being in Walmart on black friday or some other retail store on a holiday.
In this matter, I will care about the opinion of any company officer who spends their holidays in a store putting up with the endless idiocy they ask of sales reps. See the long line of officers getting ready to meet my challenge....

Unfortunately, I work retail. The reflective side of mortals isn't often on display in retail. In specific, I worked retail today and will again tomorrow (well yesterday and today now). It's best that I not comment further on mortals till Wednesday.

Originally posted by monsno_leedra View PostWould be nice if while everyone is celebrating they take a moment and reflect upon the fact the holiday is about honoring and remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving their country. That seems to be the forgotten reason as all the grills and sales go off this weekend, but especially Monday. You'd be surprised how many veterans will get told thank you for their service this weekend.
