You are privileged.
Yes, you.
Why?
Because you have the ability to read!
Not everyone can do that and back in 1966, the world thought it important enough to make it a holiday. Maybe it is due to their circumstances, being in a poor or even very wealthy neighborhood, where reading is not a focus but rather, acquisition of other deemed more important things. Maybe they need glasses and can't see very well so reading was hard to begin with? Maybe they are dyslexic and don't like being teased when they jumble the letters so pass it off as unnecessary?
There are thousands of reasons that could affect whether or when a person learns to read or not. It's a very valuable and underrated skill most of us take for granted as it seemingly comes so natural after knowing. Don't just give someone something to read, offer to read it to them. It will help the seeds grow much healthier.
## Family Time!
Well hey there, did ya miss us? We missed you! So much, in fact, that we have rescheduled our 'Family Time' to Wednesdays (and every **HUMP Day** after) and we hope to see you there! Join our lovely band of outcasts, normies, goofballs, pimps, degenerates, professionals and all things within and without and betwixt and between starting **11 am CST/ 12 pm EST**. We always try to have a little fun and and if you're paying attention, a few smiles might just be shared. We like to smile. We like to laugh. We realize that life isn't all about the important things like #politics, #religion and #sex, no, it's about the time spent, the experiences had and memories made. Memories get passed on, experiences are shared and time - time is the currency we spend to acquire them.
It just may be worth your time to [visit the Castle](https://discord.gg/EpyXNyh) and come check us out. Unlike the 'Addams Family' shows, all of this is live, unrehearsed and not recorded before any audience. Funny things happen. Sad things happen. Smiles and tears get shared. Worries and hopes are passed around. Sometimes, we even eat #pizza, cake and ice cream. Sometimes, we watch movies. Sometimes, giant insects attack the microphones and we have to get out our silly swatters and smack 'em up so we have something to snack on because the popcorn got eaten already by little slugs that left slimy trails everywhere and made the sidewalks slippery so that the pancakes didn't get enough traction on our canoes to steer the spaceships. Exactly.
