Friends | I'm a retired teacher and musician. I like baseball, Jazz, and football. Originally from NJ. In Fl now. I am married. Neobopper: I saw today where Tunnels to Towers renovated a hotel in Houston, Tx and made 161 apts. for homeless VETS. They are a phenomenal organization and I'm proud to say I donate to them. I think if would be terrific if they did the same thing with the UN building. It would be put to so much better use. 5 months ago • Report • Link 3 fizzy374: So awesome, maybe I'll donate to now 4 months ago • Report 0 Neobopper to christyb4444: Love your pics where you wear that hat. Something about a woman in a hat is very appealing. Of course you other pics are stimulating as well. OceanAngel7:
NATIONAL MAD HATTER DAY October 6th is a day set aside each year to bring out your silly side while celebrating National Mad Hatter Day. The fictional character, The Hatter (also known as The Mad Hatter) from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, is typically acting silly, and that is how the creators of this day decided on their theme of silliness for National Mad Hatter Day. Sir John Tenniel illustrated The Mad Hatter and all of Lewis Carroll’s colorful characters beginning in 1864. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was first published in 1865. The phrase “mad as a hatter” comes from the late 18th and early 19th centuries when haberdasheries used mercury nitrate. The exposure to this metal over time caused the tradesmen to develop symptoms making people believe they were mad. Taking our inspiration from The Mad Hatter (or any of Carroll’s characters for that matter) we may pursue laughable, absurd, or even confusing adventures on National Mad Hatter Day. Breakout from the usual routine. Ask ridiculous riddles much like The Hatter’s own, “Why is a raven like a writing desk?” Play croquet with plastic pink flamingos or wear a funny hat to work. Celebrate the day with silliness! Neobopper to WOhiogal1970: Thanks for liking my profile WO. I put a value on that. Yeah, like everything else now everything is through the roof now. I know who to thank for that. |
