Don't let them shame you. I was up and did the dishes, fixed meals for the day, on the bike for 30 minutes, showered, to the gym and into work by 5 this morning!

I was up celebrating my May Day at 3 AM working. Had planned on drinking that first cup of Joe then hitting the bike but nooooooooo, last night's batches had to run long. I did get a bunch of new monthly documents set up, so that's good.

Happy May everyone!

I had about an inch of snow on my windshield in Cody Wyoming this morning. Not terribly unusual for May but I’m ready to be done with snow for now

I remember when I was a kid we used to put candy in dixie cups and put them on the neighbor’s porches for May Day. Is that a thing anywhere anymore?

Chapeau, old chap.

And to the OP, the pedant in me would like to remind you Mayday comes from "m'aidez"...

My wife does little flower pots and takes them around to her friends' houses.

I never heard of anyone celebrating May Day until she started doing this.

It's International Labour Day. If we were willing to put the letter U into our words in random places, we'd get one more holiday. I find the extra Us annoying, though, so probably not worth it.

Learn something everyday...

Mayday got its start as an international
distress call in 1923. It was made official in 1948. It was the idea of Frederick Mockford, who was a senior radio officer at Croydon Airport in London. He came up with the idea for “mayday" because it sounded like the French word m'aider, which means “help me."

I made May Baskets as a kid but I think I made them... for myself. Definitely not neighbors.

My sister left flowers on our Door a few years ago, I guess she did it for all her friends and recalled doing it when she was younger.. First I heard of it.. and the last till now.. LOL

If you're a triathlete, you donate blood, you adopted your pet from a shelter, you're vegan, a Mayflower descendant, and you put your cart back at the store - what do you tell people first?

They were supposed to go to Virginia, but had to land in Massachusetts because they ran out of beer (their only source of fresh water), so the story goes

Ex-triathlete, and don't really even talk about it.
Don't donate blood, it leaves my body so fast, I nearly pass out, and I have A+ which is in high supply and can only go to other A+ so they told me not to come back.
Nope never got an animal from a shelter.
Nope not a vegan
Yes a Mayflower descendant, but rarely mention it, unless genealogy comes up (also a descendent of Mary Bolin - you know the one that got sent home rumored to be pregnant with the Kings baby, and Leaf Ericson. I find the last 2 stories much more interesting than the Mayflower descendent - but that one has been certified and Mom joined the Mayflower club (or whatever its called).
Put my cart in a rack, if none nearby just hook it over a curb, but I do often take a cart from the parking lot, if I need one in store.

I don't talk to people, so I don't tell them much, these days probably the first thing I say is that I am retired.

I don't understand why any of these things matter, but since you asked I thought I would answer. Maybe I missed something, or one of those social que things.. Anyhow, there you go.

I'll have to ask my Mom again, I forget. Since and not surprisingly, she has tracked a 2nd passenger we are also related, but since it was a small community, that is not a surprise at least to me. Yes She and my sister are certified and member of the Mayflower Soceity? Sorry don't remember what that is called. .
