There were some really neat days I could have picked for today, a lot of food ones, but, nothing says kindness and care like a big squishy teddy bear!
Maybe a giant pillow.
Ha!
So happy National Teddy Bear Day! I had a few favorite stuffties when I was growing up. The earliest one I remember was a giant yellow teddy bear (giant to my little 3 year old self) that I named Sunny. I had been bestowed this marvel on a Sunday morning, it was guarding my candy in my Easter basket!
I had that thing for years. It was first my friend, and later, became my sparring partner. He was a good sport and could take a punch or kick better than my brother or any of my friends! 😂 I did rip a hole in his shoulder from body slamming him a few too many times though, but my mommy sewed it up!
It even found its way to Tennessee somehow! He finally gave up the ghost in a wicked battle with another of my friends, a black pit bull named 'Kabootysnicklesnickle' aka 'Booty'. (Yes, I named my dog Booty, well, me and my boys.) I tried to piece him back together, but he'd lost too much stuffing and was lain to rest.
Do you have a favorite teddy bear or even a stuffed animal? I'd love to hear your story! I have 5 HBI for any post you make on your blog about it and drop in the comments below. Happy Teddy Bear Day!
## 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.
