Say Something Nice Day Say Something Nice Day began in Charleston, South Carolina, when the Mayors of North Charleston and Charleston came together with members of the Charleston-Atlantic Presbytery and the South Carolina Baptist Convention to create a day to be kind to the special people in our lives, like our children. Its also a day to remember and celebrate people, who provide us with a variety of services, such as bus drivers, healthcare workers and teachers. And, its a great opportunity to apologize to people that we might have wronged or hurt through our behaviour. The aim of this special day is to fight against unkindness, bullying and the lack of politeness that dominates society today. The creators hope that this one day of pleasantness will grow, until people are nice to each other everyday. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/say-something-nice-day/

(38,958 posts)as the primary season as taken it's convoluted course through time and they may remain difficult for many. I personally had my candidate a long time ago, agreed with them on pretty much everything and have been happy to send them a bit every month. So I had no real need to get into a discussion of the who, what and how's of all things and made sure I did not do so. Trashing the GDP and the other candidates forum helped considerably as well as those posts never showed up on my latest threads page.
That said, your efforts toward civility have not gone unnoticed at least by myself and are appreciated!

(205,074 posts)Plus, I got a post removed in 2004 for telling off a troll, so I learned my lesson.
And I've been sure of my candidate since at least 2012, LOL. I have ties to the neighboring state and asked my friend who still lives there to please invite me to go with her to his campaign rallies.
I think we all appreciate those, like you, who make the effort to post something guaranteed to distract and entertain us. That's needed so badly right now...
