Chinese Cucumbers???

Yesterday, in one of the writers newsletters I get, there was mention of this article. What an interesting way to write about restaurants or food choices in foreign countries. http://www.travelpostmonthly.com/archive/dining/misadventures_with_chinese_cuc/

Here's a quote for writers or anyone submitting creative works: "I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get me going, rather than retreat." ~ Sylvester Stallone



May Holidays

Fibromyalgia Education and Awareness Month
I should do a contest. In fact, I am thinking of something. Two somethings, actually. One contest for fibro sufferers, and one for everyone else.

May 13-19 – Reading is Fun Week

May 3 – Lumpy Rug Day

Also on May 3: National Day of Prayer, National Day of Reason

May 8 – No Socks Day

May 9 – National Night Shift Workers Day and National Third Shift Workers Day

May 15 – National Chocolate Chip Day

May 17 – Pack Rat Day

May 18 – National Bike to Work Day

Also on May 18: National Pizza Day, National Send an Electronic Greeting Day, National Visit Your Relatives Day (Strange, isn't it, that National Bike to Work Day and National Pizza fall on the same day?)
