Forget Me Not Day
I don't know much about forget me not flowers. I am not much of a flower person at all really. But I googled forget me nots, and found the flower above, thought it would be pretty for the blog. When I was floating around online the other day, I found a cartoon of a flower being picked in the *she loves me, she loves me not* theme, and the flower was screaming *She loves you NOT, IDIOT!!* Of course now I cant find it, but would love to have found it. It was what I thought of immediately as soon as I saw the day for today.
Today is the day to remember everyone who has ever been important to us, friends, family, loved ones. Who is that one person that was a mentor to you? Who helped shape you to the person you are today?
Sesame Street Day (Debuted 1969)

Area Code Day
I grew up with my area code being 314, today that only is the St Louis, Mo area. But I think until about 1992 the eastern side of Mo was 314. Then it got separated, and my area got 573. Then about 1996, between the 573 and 314, another area (St Charles, Mo) was chopped out, and given 636. Over the past 12 years, I have lived in all three area codes, lol.
As the population grows, more area codes are cropping up, but also, with the cell phones, that also is causing more phone numbers, area codes, exchange numbers, etc.
