Does anyone besides me think that Labor Day is a wasted holiday? What is it all about? You celebrate something on the 4th of July, Christmas, New Years, Memorial Day, Easter and so on but, what do you do on Labor Day? You take a day off work. Shouldn't that be called Non-labor Day? :confused:

I'm just saying! :)

It honors people who work. Or did, originally. Maybe you've heard this, but someone figured out that if you subtract the hours you spend in a year sleeping, plus holidays, vacation, etc., there would actually only be one day in the year to work--and that would be Labor Day, when nobody works because it's a day off. Interesting, huh?

I've seen this also. My heart goes out to all the poor souls who have to work today. Firefighters,police,armed forces,fast foof folks and the poor schmucks at my ex-job. You wouldn't believe how many people go furniture shopping on Labor Day. :eek: (the sale lasts 2 GD weeks)

Firefighters in SoCal have been working 24/7 for the last 2 weeks. They have given far beyond human strength. Think of their brave efforts today please! Our armed forces always need prayers & positive thoughts. Those individuals are just plain Heroes - in every corner of the world. :thankyou:

Did anyone go to (or work at) DLR today? DH and I went to Anaheim Garden Walk. It was a ghost town, but they were using the parking lot for Disneyland overflow. That means the parks were WAY too crowded!

It didn't seem all that crowded to me, Small World got a little longer than a 10 minute wait for a little bit, then the line went away and we had 10 minutes or less the rest of the day, at least the part of the day that I was there for. Also, I think the estimate was only 40something, but I could be wrong about that.
