Wishing everyone a VERY Happy Columbus Day

and hope you all enjoy your day off!

Thank you for remembering us Yanks :-4

Cher, you're welcome hunny!

I think this is such a great thing to celebrate! Do you have parades & parties?

And how do the native americans feel as surely they must wonder why Columbus gets the praise for "discovering" a new world which they had already "discovered" and were living in?

You said it, babe! :guitarist

Speaking for my Native great-grandmother, and for all the descendents of the Aztecs and Incans...you'll excuse us for having mixed feelings about this one! :wah:

Eric the Red was here 500 years before Columbus and American Indians were here long before that. Columbus didnt discover America !!! :-5

Feds :rolleyes:

Oh thats just the tip of the iceberg, feds get groundhogs day, full moons, arbor day, national pet a chipmunk day.........the list is endless

No wonder there was no mail today!:wah:

Wow, I never heard of that holiday before!

What? We celebrate U.N. day? Yeah...THEY'RE a group worth celebrating, all right!

Don't forget...October is also "Celebrate sun dried tomatoes" month, Gay and Lesbian History month, Eat Country Ham month and National Pajama month.

We should have that off, so we can sleep in!:wah:
