Okay I say we get rid of the month of March

[proud2BlibKansan]

Other than St. Pat's, what is good about March? I know, the first day of spring - when the weather is STILL shitty. So that doesn't count.

I hate March. No holidays, crappy weather, we are all sick of winter by now.

I love college basketball but March Madness doesn't start till way late in the month so it is more like April Madness.

The kids at school are always crazy in March and we start our NCLB tests at the end of the month. So the pressure is on. And the weather sucks - big time.

If we could just get rid of March it would all be so much better.

I think I will start a petition.

[EFerrari]

1. March is Mon's birthday. If we get rid of March

can I still keep her? :P

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Oh I forgot the part about birthdays - sorry

People born in March can choose any other date for their birthday. So yes, you can still keep her :)

[EFerrari]

22. Good deal. Then, g'bye March.

March is the month between me and baseball. It can go, anytime.

[Fleshdancer]

43. No no no! Let's just say that people born in March are ageless.

and, of course, they can have a party at any time. We will have to move Spring Break to April though.

[proud2BlibKansan]

46. Works for me.

[xmas74]

2. You didn't mention how the kids around here

are constantly sick in March. Nothing like having a nearly 80 degree day drop into the 20s at night to make a kid sick fast!

And the late frost. Just when you think it's safe to plant your garden...

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. OK I will add those excellent points to my petition.

:hi:

[xmas74]

No prob.

C was sent home for the second time this week by the school nurse for a cough.

March sucks!

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. We had a pink eye invasion at my school a few weeks ago

and I have sent two or three kids to the nurse every day this week.

March sucks.

[xmas74]

16. I remember you posting about that.

She had pink eye a couple of days ago. (Sunday was the first sign). I purchased some Similasin and the problem was gone in time for her to go to school on Monday.

She was sent home Monday afternoon because of a cough and again today.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. I had a pink eye case in my room on Monday

This week it is the cough - we sent a couple kids home today.

[xmas74]

20. What's up w/ this cough?

It seems to go away for a day and then strikes w/ a vengence.

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. I don't know but it sure is spreading to a lot of kids

and we have a couple teachers with it too. My good friend fought it for two weeks. She finally went to the doctor because she was coughing so bad she couldn't sleep. He gave her some cough meds so she could finally get some rest.

50. BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH!

Wear a surgical mask so the rugrats don't infect you with their shit! ;-)

[ghostsofgiants]

3. This is clearly a liberal conspiracy to render me without a birthday.

[Lady Effingbroke]

5. I agree! We March birthday people must unite against this heinous

conspiracy - and happy birthday, btw! :toast:

[ghostsofgiants]

6. It's still a couple of weeks away, but thanks anyway!

:)

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. See post #9

Sorry I don't mean to inconvenience anyone.

[texas1928]

4. Then you wold have to kill me.

Since my birthday is in March.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. Man that was dumb to leave my March birthday plan out of my OP

Can you guys ever forgive me?

[MissB]

7. Spring happens in March.

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. And like I said, the weather is still shitty

Spring doesn't get nice until April.

[MissB]

17. Well, around here

it can be 70 in February and then snowing in March. In fact, it snowed much of the day today. I bet it is still snowing.

We don't really get summer until July or so.

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. The blizzard of 1888

that Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote about was in APRIL. I think of that every year when I get hopeful about spring being right around the corner.

[Dukkha]

8. lousy Smarch weather!

:mad: I'm tired of it too. Though I noticed perennial buds coming out of my garden so we're close to the end of this crappy weather

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. That's the only redeeming part about March

- we are close to the end of winter.

[EstimatedProphet]

23. Spring break

[proud2BlibKansan]

36. Not where I teach

It is always during Easter week which is rarely in March.

[EstimatedProphet]

42. Bummer

[evlbstrd]

24. It's not just St. Patrick's Day!

It's Irish History Month! The Irish fuckin' saved civilization! Much good may it do us now.

[proud2BlibKansan]

37. We can move Irish History to another month

Women's History too.

[evlbstrd]

41. No, no, no.

It's usually the nicest weather day of the month. At least that's what the Guinness tells me.

[mvd]

25. Sometimes it has Easter

February is even more dull IMO - and usually only 28 days.

[proud2BlibKansan]

38. Yeah but Feb is African American History Month

I ain't messin with that.

[u4ic]

26. It would be much cheaper for me

lots of birthdays in my family in March...;-)

[Shine]

27. Excuse me, but MY birthday happens to be in March!

THAT's what's good about it!! March 25th, to be exact. The day when it's all about ME! heheheh.

:hi:
sorry, but I won't be signing your petition. ;)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

28. Daffodils often bloom in March...

And Mr GoG's birthday is on the 12th...

[Lorien]

29. Fine by me-then I would never have to have another birthday

woo-hoo! :toast:

[hfojvt]

30. If we get rid of March

doesn't that leave us with 61 days of April, and
April is the cruelest month.
Either that, or it gets merged into February, eliminating not only
the uniquely shortest month, but also the only month which is logical - it is exactly four weeks long (except once every four years)

[KitchenWitch]

31. No, March is okay, I hate February

Nothing good happens in February - I was diagnosed with cancer one February.

[Jamastiene]

32. What I hate most are the strong winds.

I like most everything else about it, except waiting for spring to finally get here already. It's never really warm at night in March, so I don't know why they count it as a warm weather month. I like it when it is warm at night so I can sit outside and watch the bats swoop down and grab some of these 6,342,653,474 mosquitoes that seem to all live right over where I live.

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

33. No Way .. No How

March Madness has already started (Syracuse v. UConn, anyone?), my birthday is in March, spring begins in March.

If you have to get rid of a month, get rid of February... it's a short month and no one would miss it.

[matcom]

34. you want to kill my birthday AND my anniversary

:cry:

[proud2BlibKansan]

39. You will be allowed to move both dates

to a more pleasant month.

[DawgHouse]

35. The great thing about March is it's not February!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

40. Fuck yes.

March = worst month of the year.

:grr:

[NV Whino]

44. Okay, I don't mind giving up the birthday,

but can I keep the presents?

[proud2BlibKansan]

45. Of course you can

:)

[NV Whino]

47. Thanks.

What are you going to get me?

[proud2BlibKansan]

48. A new calendar

that has no March :)

[NV Whino]

49. Wow!

:rofl:

[liontamer]

51. my birthday is in march

so i say we keep it. The first day of spring is nice if you have the good sense to live somewhere the weather isn't shitty.

march is women't history month(including international woman's day) and it's labor day in australia. There are lots of religious holidays that fall in march too.
