x4As a political-economist, Marx picked up and ran with Ricardo's Labor Theory of Value. I guess anything honoring "labor" is suspect to some minds - especially those tenuously tethered to reality.Slim Cognito wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 1:55 pm Is she thinking of May Day or is she upset some people got a paid day off? Hey lady, it's not just government offices that are closed. So are the banks.
Glad you were there to offer comfort and aid.MsDaisy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 05, 2021 3:03 pm Ho-Lee Crap! I went into our local Bed Bath and Beyond for potholders today and there was commotion just by where I was so I looked over and there was a little 5 y/o man lying on the floor. I walked over to see if they needed help only to discover the 5 y/o had been stabbed in the stomach with a knife by his 3y/o little brother who just picked up the knife off a shelf!
It wasn’t a very deep wound and his mother was holding pressure. I stayed with them until the first EMS arrived. As I was leaving the store the parking lot was being filled with cop cars more ambulances, and fire trucks!
I’m sure the little man is going to be fine, but beam the poor little fella some good healing energy anyway! AND some for the little brother who I'm sure was just playing and didn't really intend to kill his brother and probably feels pretty awful about it all!
According to Snopes, much, but not all, is true.

Lavish picnics and family feasts might not be the first things that come to mind when you think “cemetery”, but from Pagans holding silent dinners to Victorians dining alfresco among the gravestones, England’s food traditions have long been shaped by death – it’s only modern sensibilities that steer us away from celebration. But, as part of Heritage Open Days, Friends of Wombwell Cemetery in Barnsley, South Yorkshire has revived the tradition.
Established in 1994, Heritage Open Days is England’s largest festival of history and culture, and gives visitors a chance to look around some of England’s most historic places. This year’s theme, Edible England, will feature almost 4,000 events, including picnics, tasting tours and performances. The entire programme, which runs from 10-19 September, is free, including access to many sites that usually charge for admission. And for the second year running, there will be virtual tours and online discussions running in addition to the live events.
CemeTreats & Funeral Feasts at Wombwell Cemetery, which runs on 17 and 18 September, will include a talk on funeral traditions involving food around the world, followed by a chance to take home recipes to try out. There will also be an opportunity to learn about the history of Wombwell, with information provided by the Wombwell Heritage Group.
