Subject: BS: June is.......... From: JennieG Date: 08 Jun 10 - 10:09 PM National Accordion Awareness Month, according to this website .....it's also 'National Cat Adoption Month' and 'Turkey Lovers Month'. I looked up my birthday, May 9, and it is 'Lost Sock Memorial Day'. Should remember that when I blow out my candles, shouldn't I....... Cheers JennieG |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Rapparee Date: 08 Jun 10 - 11:35 PM It's also "Fight The Filthy Fly Month." I swatted a filthy fly just yesterday, but the guy yelled and threw a punch at me. |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Ebbie Date: 08 Jun 10 - 11:40 PM Jennie, where/how do you find other months? I'm probably looking right over its head, so to speak. Come to think of it - I also don't find the National Accordion month thing. The heading is 'Holiday Insights- tradition, fun, facts and more!' Is that the right site? |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Rapparee Date: 08 Jun 10 - 11:41 PM It's also "Take An Accordionist To Therapy" month. |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Alice Date: 09 Jun 10 - 12:09 AM June is my favorite month. |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Alice Date: 09 Jun 10 - 12:10 AM because.... June is bustin' out all over!! |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: JennieG Date: 09 Jun 10 - 02:36 AM Ebbie, if you look under "Bizarre and Unique Days" in the blue menu on the left hand side of the page it will take you to a page with all the months of the year to click on and have fun with. Click on June and you get everything that June is the month for, and also a day-by-day list of all the weird and wonderful things that have their own day. Cheers JennieG |

Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Rapparee Date: 09 Jun 10 - 11:49 AM My birthday is Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day, Make A Friend Day, and White Tee Shirt Day. I can combine these into: Make A Friend By Not Crying Over Spilled Milk On Your White Tee Shirt Day! It's also Thomas Edison's birth day and the anniversary of the first appearance at Lourdes. The appearance was not that of Tom Edison. |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Alice Date: 09 Jun 10 - 11:58 AM Oh, WOW! According to that web site, My Birthday Is "Go Caroling Day" woo hoo! |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 09 Jun 10 - 12:02 PM 11th February - Make a Friend Day - what an excellent day When : Always February 11th Do you have enough friends? The answer should be no. No matter how many friends we have, more of them increases our wealth. That's because friends are one of life's valuable assets. 'Ya just can't have too many friends. Make a Friend Day is a great opportunity to meet someone new, or do something to make a new friend. Making a new friend can be easier to do than you think. There must be a gadzillion ways to make new friends. It often helps by smiling and just being friendly or helpful. Spend "Make a Friend Day" being just being friendly, and by doing special or nice things for others. ..................... Does that mean I have to give THEM presents? sandra |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Arthur_itus Date: 09 Jun 10 - 12:34 PM My birthday is June 23rd and that is Take Your Dog To Work Day. Why should I do that. Firstly we don't have a dog. Secondly I am 65 and officially retired. :-) Load of Bunkem :-) |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: kendall Date: 09 Jun 10 - 07:31 PM May 10. Clean up your room day. Why bother? I just keep the door closed. |

Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 10 Jun 10 - 12:02 AM Is there anything there about lightning bugs? I looked out the back window this evening and saw lightning bugs floating over the backyard. If you have never seen this, it looks like small yellow lights flying silently in the air. (Other places have white ones, not yellow.) Sometimes I feel like I'm so lucky.... |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Alice Date: 10 Jun 10 - 12:14 AM I'm waiting for the northern lights. This will be a good year for them. |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: VirginiaTam Date: 10 Jun 10 - 02:41 AM title of this thread needs to include the instrument honoured and the thread should be moved above the line. Well some might not think accordions are necessarily musical. I wouldn't be in that camp. |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 10 Jun 10 - 06:48 AM I like it too. |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: JennieG Date: 10 Jun 10 - 11:04 PM Apart from it being National Accordion Month I don't think there is much musical content in the site......wonder if other instruments have their own month? Cheers JennieG who doesn't play accordion |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: LadyJean Date: 10 Jun 10 - 11:27 PM The wettest month of the year in Western PA. Also the month when the local arts festival happens. |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: keberoxu Date: 30 May 17 - 05:07 PM And I thought Rapparee was kidding altogether -- June is a bunch of things, according to that webpage, besides filthy flies and accordions (I didn't mean to say accordions are filthy) Turkey Lovers Month (?! ?) National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month Dairy Month Aquarium Month Gay Pride Month (that sounds familiar) Candy Month (that sounds North American) Rose Month National Adopt a Cat Month -- 4 June, Hug your Cat Day -- 25 June, National Catfish Day |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Steve Shaw Date: 30 May 17 - 05:38 PM I was born in June. June is brilliant sunshine but the eye of heaven is not yet too hot. The summer flowers are out but the hedgerows don't turn rank until at least the end of the month. The plant growth is lusty but green and colourful, not yet browning. June is rose month. A June girl has dark straight hair, clear brown eyes and a sharp but loving mind (stop me somebody). She wears bright red and her skin glows luminous but she's always seen against a brilliant blue sky backdrop. If you want to know what a June boy is like, you'll have to ask a June girl. I'll get me coat... |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: keberoxu Date: 30 May 17 - 08:35 PM Funnily enough, I know a June birthday girl. She is a blue-eyed blonde from South Carolina and she has a drawl that goes on for miles. A professional musician, and not one mean bone in her body. Haven't seen her in years, but I can still hear her voice in my memory. Hi How are YOU!? comes out Haaaaaaa Hew r Yeeeeeeeeeeeeew... |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Donuel Date: 30 May 17 - 08:35 PM June should be the global vacation month, not a sticky hurricane month like August. |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Richard Bridge Date: 30 May 17 - 09:10 PM June this year will be the end of May. I hope. |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Steve Shaw Date: 30 May 17 - 09:21 PM Rough winds hath shaked the darling buds of May. Did I tell you about darling buds? Seriously, it may have referred to the burgeoning breasts of growing young women, nothing to do with may blossom, etc. The buds may well refer to, well, the pointy bits of breasts. Shakespeare was known for linguistic mischief. The word darling may have referred to the changing of buds from green to colour as they swell. I think I'd better stop right there. On the other hand... |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Donuel Date: 30 May 17 - 10:36 PM June is a good month to test the top speed of my car which is about 175mph in 17 seconds. On an air strip of course. The bigger engine would have only shaved two seconds |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Teribus Date: 31 May 17 - 02:09 AM Nice to see someone is taking up the slack caused by all those hybrid drivers Donny. As for June is Bustin' out all over ....... I thought that that was now the sole business of the Kardashians. |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Senoufou Date: 31 May 17 - 05:49 AM Goodness Steve, June seems to be the month when you become a little...er...romantic eh? |

Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Donuel Date: 31 May 17 - 08:27 AM Mosquitos are a deterrent to outdoor sex. Inconvenient itching may result. |

Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Senoufou Date: 31 May 17 - 01:12 PM June is when it's daylight for ever so much longer. One can sit outside to eat, and read on the patio, until quite late at night. |

Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: keberoxu Date: 01 Jun 17 - 01:34 PM The reason for the Filthy Fly business ( I thought Rapparee was kidding) is 21 June, the name-day of a saint I never heard of. One prays to this saint if one wants to get rid of filthy flies. No, I didn't make that up. |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Donuel Date: 01 Jun 17 - 03:25 PM June is bustin out all over. |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Jack Campin Date: 02 Jun 17 - 07:18 AM Historical precedents for June 8, UK election day: - the Battle of Antioch, which installed Heliogabalus as Emperor of Rome - the invasion of Italy by Attila the Hun - the first Viking raid on Britain, at Lindisfarne - the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty Not looking good, is it? |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: JennieG Date: 02 Jun 17 - 06:37 PM I had forgotten about this thread! Are we fighting filthy flies? We have had one - just one, it's winter after all - hanging around for the past few days, and it isn't taking my gentle hints to buzz off to from whence it came. |

Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Donuel Date: 01 Jun 20 - 04:16 PM Handbaskets are handy. My huge blueberry bushs are weeping with the burden of thousands of blueberries. I wonder what pollinated them this year and not last year. |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Steve Shaw Date: 01 Jun 20 - 04:21 PM It was the third of June, another sleepy dusty delta day... It's like that here. It's hot and sunny, it has been for ever, it doesn't rain any more and I'm sitting outside at quarter past nine happily fishing fruit flies out of my glass of red. Carpe diem, sez I. Suppose I should confess that this isn't a delta round here, though I believe it might have been in the upper Carboniferous. |
Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Mrrzy Date: 01 Jun 20 - 04:58 PM Today is also Heimlich Maneuver Day. I though that was just called Healthy for years, didn't realize there was a guy *named* Heimlich. Which means healthy. |

Subject: RE: BS: June is.......... From: Mr Red Date: 02 Jun 20 - 04:41 AM Suppose I should confess that this isn't a delta round here I dunno, Cornwall is pretty much triangular. With a few Scilly dots. Could be described as a lazy delta, without the emmets that is. Today is also Heimlich Maneuver Day. Just squeezed that in, did you? |
