The Oregon Governor just announced a lot of counties can begin Phase 1 re-opening, including my county. All fairly rural. Obviously not Portland counties.

Today I had my first sit down meal in a restaurant in many weeks.
The official letter.
Oh no! What will the strippers do...besides drive through stripping and delivering bar food?
Those great Americans will continue to grind.......um, virtually.
Gives a whole new spin to "the daily grind..."
And now, from the "Entitled Karen" collection, I bring you the Mother's Day brawl...
That Karen needs to be cooling her jets in jail...

This dude was pissed about waiting in the check out line. Then he stared down the guy ahead of him in line. That guy said “What are you looking at?” Then, this happened. Also Mother’s Day
Pulling a gun on someone staring you down at the deli counter is a sign of serious mental illness. Now, if you are at the cheese counter and someone is eyeing the last of the smoked Gouda........well, that's another matter entirely.
Well of course. Everyone knows that! I blame Mother’s Day. It drives families crazy. Get rid of it, along with Father’s Day, and Valentine‘s Day.
I agree. They are all bullshit, made up holidays. Are you my lost brother?
Showed an old friend of mine a pic of me wearing my Joker mask. He said he could do it better than I did, wearing the same mask. He was right.

I'd never really thought of it much, but I agree. Mothers/Fathers Day can put a lot of pressure on people.
I think I'll spend a small amount of time and try to figure out where the hell these "holidays' came from.

Here is the interesting part of the Mother’s Day wiki.....
Although Jarvis was successful in founding Mother's Day, she became resentful of the commercialization of the holiday. By the early 1920s, Hallmark Cards and other companies had started selling Mother's Day cards. Jarvis believed that the companies had misinterpreted and exploited the idea of Mother's Day and that the emphasis of the holiday was on sentiment, not profit. As a result, she organized boycotts of Mother's Day, and threatened to issue lawsuits against the companies involved.[17

Amd I don’t think I need to look up Father’s Day. My bet is that it was created because there was a Mother’s Day.
Of course, the second the Government declares them national holidays with a day off, I’m in!!!
Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Valentine's day are all purely made up holidays, by commercial interests.
If you really want to get into it, research how the value of diamonds, wedding rings, etc. is pretty much made up by the modern jewelry industry.
