I love flowers! It's like nature's make up or sexy outfits! With that in mind, Happy National Flower Day!
It was today, wayyy back in 1986, under the Reagan administration, that this holiday came into being.
Initially, it was requested to honor the national flower, which is the rose. Of course, it was agreed upon and set in motion. Since then, the White House has boasted a vibrant rose garden and a handful of states have made their flower a rose variant.
A rose by any other name. They are probably one of the most diverse and nutritional flowers out there. Not to mention, they have a very sweet and pleasing aroma. When was the last time you heard someone say, "ugh, that shit smells like roses, gross". I'm guessing you probably haven't. And the petals! Just so delicate and soft to the touch but be wary, thorns around the vines and stalks can force you to bleed if you aren't careful.
So, what is your favorite flower? We will give a couple HBI for any pictures of flowers you may have in either a garden, you see in the wild or even have on your windowsill. Here in the states, chrysanthemums (Mums) are blooming right now in all kinds of pretty little colors. I love Autumn and Roses.
## 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.
