    I told my son, “You will marry the girl I choose.”
    He said, “NO!”
    I told him, “She is Bill Gates’ daughter.”
    He said, “OK.”
    I called Bill Gates and said, “I want your daughter to marry my son.”
    Bill Gates said, “NO.”
    I told Bill Gates, My son is the CEO of World Bank.”
    Bill Gates said, “OK.”
    I called the President of World Bank and asked him to make my son the CEO.
    He said, “NO.”
    I told him, “My son is Bill Gates’ son-in-law.”
    He said, “OK.”
     
    This is exactly how politics works.

    Stay on topic...we are much more worried about Trump's tax returns, which have no effect on policy, than we are about this kind of stuff.

    And as TVC pointed out, the blue stripe supports a Govt organization Police Officers.  Those officers come from All ethnic backgrounds, like all other Govt organizations (Military, DHS, FBI, etc etc).   They are not a political movement.   I'm sorry, but if anyone is trying to compare support for Police with racism, I'd have to question their acceptance of all races.

    Through my job I can attest that many folks get free housing, free cell phones, free food, free daycare,and free healthcare.  I think that would qualify as "free stuff".  Now, I'm not one of these people that thinks that all of these services should be disbanded, with the poor left to starve in the streets, but there is gross abuse of these programs, and a major overhaul is needed.

    Red Shoe Day: A Day of Remembrance
    This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up   Red Shoe Day was founded in memory of Australian Lyme  Patient, Theda Myint who left this earth on the 25th July 2013.  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  with this day quickly becoming established as an annual remembrance day to remember not only Theda, but all those lost to Lyme and other invisible illnesses worldwide. More about Theda and her journey can be seen at :   This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up

    though they are only able to stay a while, continue to live in our hearts and memories forever. Red shoe day, held on July 25th, is to remember all those we have lost to invisible illness such as Lyme, ME/CFS,  Fibromyalgia and the many more illnesses that are invisible.  In the broad sense of the term, invisible illnesses are those that are generally "invisible", not only from the outward appearance of the person, but also seemingly invisible to appropriate research, treatment and care of the thousands of people that are living with them. Many living with these  illnesses are also "invisible" to society, as their health is such that they are confined to their houses, (and many to their beds) for months, even years. 

    The online communities and support groups are a lifeline to many who are unable to leave their beds/houses and are also an excellent source of information for those looking for support in discussing treatment pathways and coping strategies. The people within these communities/groups understand the struggles and adversity with very little explanation. Finding "someone like you", leads to many friendships being developed, and the loss of someone from this community is felt by many, even those on the other side of the world. 

    Each death brings  a heightened sense of anger (and a numerous range of other feelings) at the injustice of their illness being ignored. It is also hard, as whilst many offer comfort to those affected, it also brings a sense of ones own mortality (or that of the loved one you are caring for)  to the fore. 

    We would therefore like to encourage  the view that  whilst the 25th of July is for remembering all those lost, it is not only to remember their passing, it also to celebrate their life and to remember and share the wonderful memories their time on this earth gave us.  
      On July 25th, wear your Red Shoes in memory of those who now walk elsewhere.  Post the picture and your memories to our facebook page - which we will then upload to the website as a permanent reminder.

    National Hamburger Day
    On this Day in 1900 the first ‘hamburgers’ were served at Louis’ Lunch diner in New Haven, Connecticut.
    Five Food Finds about Hamburgers
    The oldest fast food restaurant in the world is the White Castle franchise, which opened in 1921. The people of America eat more burgers out at restaurants or on the go than they do at home. The largest hamburger ever created was over 8,000 pounds and was cooked for a burger festival in Wisconsin. However, the hamburger in its current form, with ground beef and a bun, is a decidedly American creation. Hamburgers are made of beef, not ham, and there is much debate over whether they actually originated in Hamburg. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Today’s Food History
    on this day in…
    1586 The potato was introduced to England. It is claimed that Sir Thomas Harriot introduced potatoes to England on this day. (Some sources give December 3 as the date).
    1852 Andrew Jackson Downing died. An American horticulturist, he was the author of ‘The Fruits and Fruit Trees of America’ (1845) and editor of the ‘Horticulturist’ periodical.
    1866 The metric system was authorized to standardize weights and measures in the U.S. (Authorized, yes, but we still don’t use it very much).
    1900 One of the many claims to the origin of the hamburger, is that Louis Lassing (or Lassen) first served hamburgers on a bun in his diner in New Haven, Connecticut.
    1907 Earl S. Tupper was Born. The inventor of Tupperware. (Tupperware makes the containers used to conduct mold and bacterial experiments in the back of refrigerator shelves).
    1977 At 11:02 p.m. the first oil from Prudhoe Bay arrived at Valdez in the trans-Alaskan pipeline. It took 38 days to travel the 800 miles.
    1989 The largest halibut (Atlantic) caught with rod and reel weighed over 255 pounds. It was caught in Gloucester, Massachusetts by Sonny Manley
