'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Whoa, I missed a big weekend. Elopement, birthday, not one but two emergency hospitalizations... (and birth and death made appearances elsewhere, too). I am glad everything seems to have worked out well (although have we heard from Scola? Hope the morphine kicked in.)
In my news, me = tired, baby = cranky as fuck.
and leave on the 23rd at 9:08.Oooh, oooh... La la laaaaa.
Now I need to sleep and maybe sound less stupid. And sleep. Did I mention the sleep?
Hey, is it a holiday in the US too? I have to say, I love long weekends!
No, Sue, it's not a holiday in the U.S. What holiday is it in Canada?
I've already given the "gift" portion; that's what sticking me. This gift is supposed to be CASH, in an envelope, which either she's going to come around and collect, or we're going to hand them in some sort of procession line, either way it will be painfully obvious to everyone who brought an envelope full of cash and who didn't. I wish I had the option now to skip it entirely, but I've already RSVPed and it's too late to back out.
Just so you can feel more justified. This is totally awful and crazy and if I were you I would bail immediately. That's just me and my reaction though. GOD. People. UGH.
Um, it's just the August long weekend. Most places it's a civic holiday, but it's called different things everywhere. We call it Natal Day.
Apparently this cash-giving thing is a tradition, a thing that is Done. I resented the expectation of public money-giving more than the gift itself. It is a wedding gift, after all, even though I didn't go to the actual wedding.

Just because people say over and over a thing's a thing, doesn't make it a thing. IJS. Traditions can still be tacky, and you still have the right to be offended and decline to participate in them.

That's just nice. Wiki suggested August 7 was B.C. Day in Canada, but I wasn't sure why that would be a holiday outside of B.C., unless there's a day for every province. Then I found this: [link]

To celebrate, do people dress up as cavemen and ride stone unicycles?
