I think I would enjoy "Talk like Shakespeare day," and it's coming up! This was an interesting, very entertaining poem. I am sure this took you a while to research.
Thank you for sharing all of this, and best wishes to you.

    Hi there, Jessi, I thank you for the fun review and comments. I could have added a hundred more easily but I had to draw the line somewhere. I was afraid of people getting tired of hearing anymore. Thanks for having some fun with me on this one, my dear friend. Love, Debi

    I know. I could have gone on and on and on, but I feared a one or two star review out of the deal. LOL. I love how almost everyone gave me more days I could have used. Little did they know it was hard enough to pick from so many. But it is like an addictive disease once you start and you can't quit looking.

    So anyway I thought it would be fun after hearing about Israel being attacked by Iran yesterday, I knew I needed something light to get me out of that frump that was already following me around. And so many of the sites do not coincide so you know they are made up by people. Many have the same ones but they are not the same dates. Or did you run into any duplicates that had different dates?

    Thanks for the very kind comments, K, and for reviewing this silly poem.
    Love, Debi

    Oh! I was just having fun with you...

    (A credit to your poem, which pulled us in)

    I assumed they were all different as I scrolled through the sites, which is why I tried to cite my source...

    And why would YOU ever fear a one or two star, silly rabbit?

    Take a bow!

    This was fun!

    I meant if I would have added as many as I wanted there might eventually been those who would mark me way down. You saw how much fun it was.. And it was fun to do the one liners too.
    I can't remember which two but they had different dates.

    Something on this order would be fun for T & L to do together sometime. 🤗

    Or a multi chapter book? Have someone pick a particular day and write a poem about it...then cross that one off and wait for the next selection?
    It sounds like a nice idea for something light and refreshing in the summer!

    OMGosh, I have gone too many hours without rhyming something. Get me into detox fast!! LOL
reply by karenina on 15-Apr-2024
    Someone get Debi into a rhyming twelve-step program...FAST!

    (Oh my gosh, I'm laughing so hard...)
reply by karenina on 15-Apr-2024
    OH geez. I wrote my 'twelve-step rhyming" ting before I saw this. How scary is that?

    It's getting freakier by the minute. Next we'll be finishing each other's sentences. Wait,, I think we already do. Hahaha!

Wow, this is fun and humorous. What will they think of next. I'm sure my ancestors invented National Fruitcake Toss Day. Fruitcake is a southern tradition and doubles as a doorstop. After that, out the door it goes.

I will be celebrating National 69 Day this year. I'll be turning 69 in August. This is your official heads-up, my sweet.

World Peace, Friendship, and I Love You Day is Everyday.
I love you, my friend!
Thanks for sharing. I am cheered and blessed!
Much love across the way today and always.

    Haha! I guarantee the 69 for your birthday will do little good, as I have been 69 for months now and I don't feel any different. LOL..
    I love your ancestors ideas of the fruitcake disposal. Of course I married into a family of fruitcakes and so they'd have my head for using one as a door stop. Would you believe Glen actually likes them. Like I said, should you really be surprised by Folger's Coffee and Creamer?? Haha.

    Yes, thank you for all of those things that mean most, of friendship, love and peace among us friends. Truly blessed for sure.
    Thanks for the lovely review, comments and six stars my beautiful friend. For me every day is National Sally Marie Day! Love, Debi
reply by Sally Law on 15-Apr-2024
    You crack me up. Yes, lots of fruitcake 'round here! Hahaha. You're also soooo sweet, my friend! I feel loved and special every day.
    Love ya!

This was very funny but also enlightening. I'm just wondering how you looked these up. Google, perhaps. I enjoyed your poet nod to the National day and I was only aware of one. National Middle Child day. This was a fun post, Debi, and I'm glad it helped to cheer you up. Gretchen

    Hi Gretchen, yes, I googled them but there were so many and some sites repeated them but had different dates on them.

Just to think that there are some people out there who make big money coming up with these national weird days. I especially like the one of national nothing day because sometimes that's the way I feel about a day and today is one of those days for me because I only got an hour and 25 minutes of sleep last night so I'm gonna do nothing after I finish my reviewing and go for a nap.

    Hi Pat, I think some of these people make up their own because they were doubled a lot, but the dates were different.
    I proclaim for you it to be do nothing today. It might be too late now tho. LOL.

    Awe, thank you so very much, Lisa. Are you awake now. I sent you something to your email to hopefully make you feel better. So let me know if you get it, as it sounds like you could use a National feel better day.
    Take care my sweet friend. Love, Debi

Yes, they tend to give everything a special day, even "Have a bad day." I guess it's nice that people can find a reason to celebrate most everything. But personally, I'm just happy to be alive and about to nourish this old body another day. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Ric, yeah, yesterday after seeing that Iran had bombed Israel, I had to shut it down, as I take things to heart and stress is the one thing that I do not need right now as it causes lupus flares and they do a lot of damage.

    So I needed to find something about just being silly, needing to laugh and say, You gotta be kidding me kind of fun. I hope no one took them serious in any way.

    I found it hilarious that there was even one about the hairball? haha! Plus it got me here laughing about my outdated VCR. LOL

    Thanks for the fun review and comments, my awesome friend.
    Love, Debi

On this day April 14th, there will be peace in my house since I do not have an ex-spouse. August 7, I will celebrate with glee, because Debi Pick Marquette is a friend to me. On October 14, I will pay my due, but I cannot wait that long to say Dear friend Debi, I love you.
