Red Friday and other causes

Do you wear red on Fridays? I have, without fail, since the Support Our Troops campaign started. My red shirt has a yellow ribbon embroidered on it. That does not mean I support the war. It means I support the troops. I gave birth to one, I married one, and am a sister to two.

A blogging buddy, Lotus, has been forced to move because of mold in her present home. It has caught her unprepared for moving expenses, and there is a campaign on the interweb to help her out. Behold her glorious rack! And click!

Lastly, I have my own little button thingie for fans of Skinny Bitch. I plan to drag her arse to a computer when I visit and show her the love. When you click on it, it displays the posts that are categorized “Skinny Bitch”.

You can scoop the code from my sidebar, and show your love for Skinny Bitch on your very own sidebar.

I have to go now, and fall into my carb coma from eating a bagel. (Again)

If you cannot financially help Lotus, consider putting the banner up, or writing about the campaign on your own blog. That’s what I did, because I am beyond tapped. I’m IN THE FREAKING HOLE. That means I have to get out of the hole to be broke.

Or, just give this a stumble to give it more exposure.

Love, witchypoo.

Take 2. Maybe I can get my comment posted without inadvertently deleting it… AGAIN.

We love Skinny Bitch and Lotus, too!

Okay, that wasn’t originally what I wanted to comment, but after deleting it so many times, I can’t remember all the wit and humor that went into it. Me needs more coffee.

Red for war? and why yellow? for power? no war is good but its a necessary evil sometimes. In the UK people are giving RAF personal a hard time if they leave base in uniform, I’m no fan of fly boys but that’s disgusting, its a dirty job but someone has to do it as the appeasers of the world would be speaking German right now. Having lived among the threat of terrorism in which my military service had to kept secret for myself and families safety I support the hunting doon af all terrorists and their supporters, that includes the Bostonians who funded the IRA. Bless them all who serve their country with honour I have their back.

Knudsey: Maybe the red is for the heart, like in the heart campaign, but the yellow is for bringing our troops home. It came from the old song “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree” and around Canadian bases, there are lots of yellow ribbons tied outside houses and such, indicating that they are waiting for their loved ones to return safely.

Marie: Red Fridays must be a Canadian thing. I thought that US troops were similarly supported. As opposed to the war.

Jenny: Your comment that was deleted was hilarious. I think I may have peed a little.

Red for heart as in blood? not a great idea, I know about the ribbon song and that was about someone getting out of prison, I suppose it applies to US marines then. Oh I gave Lotus the best advice ever but she got out of the lease so it didn’t matter, I suspect the landlord isn’t a stranger to these complaints.

I was just about to stumble this, when EGADS I noticed my stumble toolbar had disappeared.

So now I will stumble and then fix my toolbar.

Witchypoo, I do think it’s a Canadian thing. I know reports of deaths of soldiers are not exactly encouraged here due to an Executive Order put forth by the Sr. Prez Bush during the first Gulf War. Clinton sort of ignored the order, and Bush Jr. kept it in place (remember the story of a woman who defied it and invited the press to film her son’s casket being off-loaded from a plane?). I’ve read other reports that they off-load the caskets at night now to keep it quiet. For shame!

There is an organization which I get emails from called “World Can’t Wait.” They encourage people to wear orange to support those being tortured (because of the orange color of prisoners’ uniforms). For more info, go to worldcantwait.net.

Nope, no red friday here. Some people put “support our troops” stickers on their cars and such, but no special day or anything.

Witchypoo, What is Skinny Bitch’s blog address? I looked back at your past Skinny Bitch posts (and there’s a good chance that I’m blind) but I can’t find a link.

And Mmmmm bagels….
