Pointless. It'll be "just another manic Monday",get up take a shower, dress, grab a cup of coffee and a granola bar and go to work, late as usual. I'll get gas on my way home, grill some chicken out on the deck and chill out. That boycott won't affect anyone except the communities the illegals themselves live in. Sorta like shooting yourself in the foot. The Spanglish Anthem was just another nail in their coffin, May 1st will be their funeral. I'll sit back and watch it on TV and LMAO!! Great entertainment.

Easy day for me....up at 9am...lunch with a friend in Covent Garden, London, met another friend in the West End, laughed and joked all afternoon and evening.  Life was good for me today.  I am very lucky!\n\nWhat went bad 4 u?\n\nWhatever happened (unless it was a life or death situation!), it probably won't matter in a week or so?? \n\nSo don't worry!

I shall have tea and crumpets for breakfast, and then take a stroll in my English garden, then have a delightful picnic and watch the corgis playing...later we shall have high tea at four o'clock and have scones, Devon cream and jam...at sunset, we shall sing God Save The Queen whilst lowering the Union Jack.\nOK - using our Commonwealth heritage and going overboard!\nActually, the weather hasn't been very good, but tomorrow will at least be sunny, so we'll go for a drive and have a fun day seeing the countryside, and perhaps at night watch fireworks. \nTo all my fellow Canadians:  Happy Victoria Day!\nAnd God Save The Queen!  Hip, Hip, Hooray!\nAnd O, Canada!

What's not to like?  Irish beer and whiskey ... corned beef and cabbage ... parades ... all very enjoyable things.  Those people who scoff at this type of holiday, probably don't have much fun on other similar holidays.  \n\nI look forward to St. Patrick's Day and Mardi Gras because they mean Spring is just around the corner in my part of the Country.  I'm so tired of the overcast grey of Winter and so looking forward to Spring.  Aren't you?\n\nI raise my glass to any celebration that makes an otherwise ordinary day something special.\n\nSalute!

I grew up in a small town that still did (and still does) May Day celebrations including electing a May Queen and May Pole dances. I really wish more communities would do this since it is loads of fun. I still go back every year to see the parade and go to the carnival. I haven't been to watch the May Pole dance in years.

A few years ago, I was in the Albert Hall for the annual Memorial Day presentation. At the climax of that celebration, everybody stands in silence, and as they do, millions of poppy petals are released from the ceiling (one for each person killed in the wars of the last century). Several of those poppy petals hit me as they fell, and I'll never forget how painful the experience was. Each petal represented a human life given in sacrifice that I might stand there -- the unbearable weight of history, all affixed to a single petal. \n\nI don't care if it's politically correct or not. I'll wear the blood-red poppy till the day I die. It's important to remember; and it's important to honor sacrifice.

No, it doesnt seem to be be the british done thing (plus our residential roads / blocks tend to be longer / larger). Not since the end of WW2 / the queen's coronation anyway. Too many weekend workers, too much traffic, not enough open space, gardens too small etc.\n\nWish we did though - beautiful summers day like today (doing homework out in the garden, wi-fi + outdoors viewable LCD = fantastic!) it would be awesome. Get a BBQ going, crack out some beers, put a little party music on, get about a hundred neighbours together who might not otherwise meet up...\n\ntoo many old folks live round here though, think there'd be complaints :-)

Really, I do not think there will be much of a financial impact.\nRemember the campaigns last year urging people not to buy gas from Exxon-Mobile or not to buy gas on certain Mondays?\nDid that work?\nWhat about the anti-war protests? Any effect?\n\nI am guessing that, like most of us when we take a day off, Hispanics that take May 1st off will have to work more the day before and the day after.\n\nAt the end of May, we will celebrate Memorial Day. All government business will be closed. Millions of people will not work that day. This happens every year and somehow, we all seem to get through it without a catastrophic collapse of the American Government.\nAs for the schools. If parents are going to protest the fact that their children are receiving a free education for their children they are just ungrateful!!!\n\nIf I ran a business and people decided to take May 1st off to protest. I would fire them. I am sure a lot of people feel the same way.
