Haha Had a Good Laugh

luvdoodles — Sun, 19 Feb 2017 22:47:11 GMT

Heard a host say, hey tomorrow is Presidents Day, treat yourself. Seriously. I honor Presidents Day but do you treat yourself for this holiday. I am still shaking my head and laughing.

Heck I'd be happy just to have the day off work. I don't think the majority of people have the day off unless they work for their state or the federal government, a bank or the postoffice.

@luvdoodles,If we treated ourselves as often as it is suggested and it was food, we wouldn't be able to get through the doorway!

The only "treat" I'd have probably in honor of the holiday would be a piece of cherry pie, to honor "I cannot tell a lie" George Washington!

Personally, I think it's silly to have a Presidents Day.

I think when we hear expressions along with seeing the speakers as we do when the hostrs and vendors talk, the power is immense.

But I also believe that every one of the inch+ of color advertisements that came with my morning paper and touted President's Day or President's Week sales was doing exactly the same thing. It's just that print no longer carries the same power for many people.

My laugh comes from the surprise I feel when people watching a shiopping channel seem surprised they want us to spend our money. To me, it would be strange if that didn't happen.

I did not shop the Q today, but I got some very nice bargains on Presidents' sales this weekend.

Just another excuse for government workers to get a paid day off. Most holidays are.

I actually always got that holiday off when I was still working. I have never worked for the Government.

Lol! In honor of Presidents Day, I just ordered (from Amazon) some Tide pods and fireplace matches!

Well, some folks look for minor reasons/excuses to shop. President's Day may be one of them.

When it comes to gifting, I put President's Day right up there with UNbirthdays.

@proudlyfromNJ If the stock market is closed many people in finance and banking also have the day off. @SeaMaiden is mad because she didn't have the foresight to chose the right industry for her career. I always had the day off and many others too.
