Spook-tacular

 It was Halloween trick or treat time at work today and employees brought their kids in to haunt the halls and grab up treats that make kids and Dentists very happy.

 Seeing how we are considered 3^rd party contractors, my boss frowns on dressing up or being out of uniform of any kind, but it was a morale thing, that and in my first life a was Peter Pan, I have all kinds of costumes and props, and wear them for no other reason than to get a reaction from folks I encounter. Family calls me weird some friends call me crazy, I call me fun.

 There were Ghosts and Batman a few from Oz, a monkey, a robot, princess and even a Lion. The kids had some great costumes; I don’t remember all this stuff when I was a kid. I wish I could share photos of the kids, but I thought it was not a good idea and especially not without the parents’ permission. It’s a different world we live in now than when we were children, shamefully less innocent.

 I even saw a 5 foot chicken and a 6 foot turkey in the lobby; I will tell you something I was not cleaning up after those two birds. I bearded Ballerina and an actual coven of witches the entire Marketing team were dress in their best with brooms, hats shall spiders and eye of newt I thought I even saw one witch that upgraded from a broom to a vacuum and another one has a swifter… very progressive this coven is. I myself was dressed as Captain America, so when my boss did finally say something I told him I may not be in my uniform but I was in a Uniform!

 I guess there is still some kid left in some of us, let the fun night of all hallows eve begin, time to dust off the silly string the squirt guns, toilet paper and scary music!

Happy Halloween to you all Have a Spook-tacular night

National Junk Food Day

I was sitting here wondering what wise comments or intuitive thought I could pass along to bloggers today and almost said I will skip it and then I remembered a not widely known Holiday called National junk food day.

For most of us, just about every day is Junk Food Day. For the rest of you out there, National Junk Food Day is a great opportunity to guiltlessly eat your, Ring dings, Ho-Ho’s, Potato chips and all your other favorite junk food.

Dietitians will tell you that junk food is any food that contains little nutritional value. We also include foods that are high in salts, fats, and sugars. In other words, junk food is all that tasty stuff that the dietitians, and your parents, say is bad for us. Junk food is the food dreams are made of, flaky cakes and strawberry shortcakes, cream filled goodies that make you drool just thinking about them… The food that makes you feel like a kid all over again.

On Junk Food Day, you get to eat anything you want. Eat any amounts that you want, too. Tomorrow, however, it's back to a healthy diet, Your Folks and spouses mocking and perhaps a stomach ache or in some cases a diabetic coma and insulin shot...  I never said Junk Food Day was safe or didn’t have any ramifications.

How did National Junk Food Day originate you ask? Well, fact checkers and inquisitive know it alls were looking for information on what is and what isn't junk food. They found no information on the origin of this day. It was most likely created by a diet conscious individual or group who desired to eat junk food, without guilt, at least one day a year. I refer to them as Food Nazis

Now as some of you may know, that creating an official “National" day requires an Act of Congress. Something the inquisitive minds did not find any records of. While Congress may be accused of going on occasional junkets, I firmly believe they would not support a Nation day of junk food.

 So for me and a few of my not so close friends out there July 21^st will always be a quiet time of binging on salty and sugary treats, I still may have to hide it from the powers that be, but dam it I am going to partake in it!

However I am compelled to post a Warning so here it is…

Please Note: Junk food may be hazardous to your health. After all, Your Doctors and Parents and spouses know what's best for you. Do so at your own risk. That risk includes those same people saying: "I told you so!"
