Probably related to the days of raging typhoid epidemics. During the Spanish-American War, 5,000 soldiers died from typhoid, a bacterium disease spread by flies. Only 4,000 soldiers actually died from fighting in the war.

I'm pissed at the family of Dr. Henry Heimlich.  Soon after his death in Dec. 2016 they either trademarked or copyrighted the phrase "Heimlich Maneuver", requiring fees for it's printed use.

Within 2 months, EVERY DAMNED FIRST AID MANUAL had been re-written to replace the phrase with "abdominal thrusts".  There is NO mention of Heimlich in most current first aid manuals, other than (maybe) in a reference section.  None of 'em I have since then mention him at all.

Instead of remembering and honoring him, he'll be forgotten everywhere except for Wiki one day.  People will wonder who came up with the abdominal thrust.  What short-sighted and avaricious pricks his family are.

The American Heart Association manual shows only "abdominal thrusts", and the Red Cross manual shows a combination of "abdominal thrusts" and "back blows".  Both work.

Remember the Golden Rule: you do me, and I\'ll do you (paraphrased)

I took a Red Cross First Aid/CPR class back in August, and I wondered why the instructor used the term "abdominal thrusts" and not "Heimlich Maneuver."

Now, I know.

Actually Heimlich himself asked (demanded) the American Red Cross stop using his name.  He was involved in some controversial AIDS experiments that involved giving people malaria to trigger an immune response.  He was angry at everyone that his methodologies (including abdominal thrusts) were not universally accepted or approved.

Sunday June 2

    National Rotisserie Chicken Day
    National Rocky Road Day
    National Bubba Day
    National Leave The Office Early Day*
    National Cancer Survivor’s Day (First Sunday in June)

* unless June 2nd falls on a weekend, at which time it would be acknowledged on the closest working day

I don't have any idea what would be the proper thing to say to a Cancer Survivor, but I'm glad there's a day set aside to remind us that there are people who have won their battle against such a medical horror.

If you have beaten cancer or know someone who has, all I will say is Bless You.

    National Cancer Survivor’s Day (First Sunday in June)

I don't have any idea what would be the proper thing to say to a Cancer Survivor...


"You go Girl (Boy), you kicked cancer's ass!"
"You won!  Keep winning."
Or no words at all.  Just tears of happiness and a true hug... a hug where you never want to let them go, where your arms wrap completely around her/him, and them around you.  Firm and enveloping.  A hug where you're so happy to have them in your arms that you could stay in that position forever.

Rotisserie chicken for dinner and Rocky Road for dessert. Sounds like a winner.

Tuesday June 4

    National Old Maids Day
    National Cheese Day
    National Cognac Day
    National SAFE DAY

National SAFE DAY came too late for three recent high school grads in Salem, Oregon. Three young women (two 19-year olds and one 18-year old) were killed when a drunk driver ran a red light and smashed into their car.

His blood alcohol level was 0.24, three times the legal limit and he suffered only minor injuries. This is not the first accident he's been in while intoxicated.

I don't know any of the victims, but my heart is aching for the families of these three young women who are dead because of one stupid fucking idiot.

I always feel for the victims and their families... My dear 17 year old cousin was killed in a road accident almost forty years ago. The pain of her tragic loss never goes away. :'(

If you've got a cock then use it, if you're a lady abuse it.

National SAFE Day.  I wonder if the politicians of states who are rushing to legalize marijuana even think of the consequences of having more impaired drivers on the road, all in the name of revenue legalizing marijuana supposedly will brink in to their coffers.

National Old Maids Day?  They have a day for a card game?  ;D

They have a day for Safes?  Maybe they could celebrate by promoting Gun Safes.  You know, to promote businesses that manufacture, and sell gun safes, and create jobs.  Like the NRA, and certain congressmen always talk about.

{I know.  It's a joke, just playing along with the joke.  And ranting about Politics.  Sorry.}

Maybe celebrate Old Maid Day by giving a spinster a little attention, and the D if she wants it?
