Catnip’s sister site, Awakenings, is posing a series of questions for you to think about in relation to a memorable teacher…maybe good, maybe not so good! We all have teacher moments to remember.
Awakenings invites you to visit and…

So much history to celebrate on this day but at the top of the list is V-E Day: the final defeat of the Nazi war machine! German troops throughout Europe finally laid down their arms.
Visit AWAKENINGS…Embrace the Past, Empower the Present, Enrich the Future of AMERICA!
Keep the memory alive of all who fought and sacrificed to maintain America’s freedom! Support America’s veterans! Only a few surviving veterans have a crystal clear memory of the moments…sights, sounds, smells…of WWII. Let NOT their sacrifices ever be forgotten.
“There is still something remarkable about these old soldiers — the warriors who humbly and bravely saved the world.” ~ABC News Dean Reynolds, World News Tonight, May 9, 2005

Which word best describes a teacher? ALL of the above!
Teacher Appreciation Week 2013 began on Monday, May 6 with today,Tuesday, May 7 being NATIONAL TEACHER APPRECIATION DAY 2013!
Why should teacher appreciation be celebrated only one week out of the year? Why should it ever end? Teacher appreciation should span the time from the first day of school preparation to the first day of summer vacation!
“When you see a teacher today, or any day for that matter, thank them for everything they do.” They don’t give up on your children so why shouldnt you support them!

I was immediately drawn to the title of a post by Alastair today since it was a pun on the Star Wars’ line ‘May the Force be with you!” I smiled and reflected for a moment on my encounter with the first Star Wars movie in 1977. Little was it known at the time that Star Wars would become a legend, an icon, practically a household word. The smiles on camera were just the beginning of a movie phenomenon!
Who was/is your favorite Star Wars character and/or episode?

The question of the day @Awakenings is
“What if you could
NOT
Think. Speak. Tweet. Like. Share. FREELY?”
Such freedoms are not enjoyed all over the world nor is exercising such freedom always safe.
Did you know in the past 10 years:
Only 1 in 10 cases of crimes against social media producers, journalists, and media workers has led to a conviction.
600+ journalists, social media producers and media workers have been killed while reporting news to the general public.

After being in the ER with my husband from 3AM to 5AM this morning, I find myself in rare form. Ever been so tired you become ‘punchy’? Everything you see, everything you say seems funny & you laugh at the silliest things almost to the point of hysteria like running on high from too much caffeine. That’s me today and would you believe it led to the conversation topic – chicken.
I know what you are thinking…why chicken? I say, Why not chicken? buck,buck,,,,, buck,,, buckAHHHH; brrk, brroock, broock, brk-ooock; bwwaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkk and bock,bock,bock,bock,bock,begowwwwk!
Just a bit of humor from Awakenings!

Some say the American diners are coming back…I say they never left! Visit one today and enjoy its American history!

A classic of classics, like baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and Chevrolet…that’s the all-American diner! Often epitomized with an exterior of stainless steel, the diner is unique in its architecture. Then, of course, there is the interior: a casual atmosphere, a counter, stools and service area along a back wall.
Embrace the past, empower the present, enrich the future of the all-American diner!

Awakenings honors our soldiers, past, present and future…without them, America would not be the America as we know it today. Next time you see a soldier, shake his/her hand and express how much you appreciate the services performed and sacrifices endured by each and every one. They are the life’s blood of American freedom!
Honor, respect and support the United States of America military!
