Now if you have any law enforcement background, you will get a kick out of
this... it was posted on Phil Santisteven's (LASD ret) FB page:
The wife and I (both retired now) were discussing the
recent
talk about uniform changes to brass buttons. She asked
if
this was for both the Sam and Sally Browns. I advised
her
do to recent political correctness they are no longer
called
Sam and Sally and are currently referred to as
Caitlyn
Browns. It took a few moments for it to sink in, which
was
just long enough for me to duck.
(If you have no law enforcement connection, a Sam Brown,
for men, or a Sally Brown ,for women, is what we
call
the duty belt that holds the holster.)

December 18th
Bake Cookies Day
(I made these last year for my grandchildren and my neighbor's Frank &
Cindy's grandchildren. They loved them!)
'Ya
gotta just love Bake Cookies Day.........
.....
Christmas is for Christians
.....
Hanukkah is just for Jews
.....
Kwanzaa is for those of African origin
.....
Native American Day is for American Indians
But,
Bake Cookies Day is for EVERYONE!
Bake
Cookies Day comes at an opportune time. It arrives amidst the major December
holidays. It serves as a reminder to bake holiday cookies, if you haven't done
so already.
People,
young and old, celebrate this day by baking their favorite cookies. Make a party
of it, and bake cookies in groups with family, friends, kids and grandkids.
Don't stop at baking just one kind of cookies. Plan to bake a number of cookies.
Try a new recipe, or two, or three, or...
.
If
you bake more than you can eat, good for you! Wrap up gift trays filled with
cookies for friends and neighbors. Most cookies freeze well, too.
Important
Note: we are very surprised that Bake Cookies Day is not immediately followed by
"Eat Cookies Day". We did not even find an Eat Cookies Day. So you can, and
should, eat them
everyday!.
