I'm confused. How did you guys get anything negative from what I posted? It's a sort of stand-tall manifesto for being happily lidless, and a rebuff of those who think a pot needs a lit to be complete. I'm not against a day to proclaim proud lidlessness, I'm suggesting we do it everyday in our actions and attitudes, including those aimed at the people who feel we are missing something.

Read the post again, this time assuming that I'm railing against those who put down the lidless instead of assuming I'm doing the railing. If your automatic assumption was the latter, take the chip off your shoulder. A first step in being happily lidless is knocking off those shoulder chips (so I'm learning from experience).

I didn't get anything negative from your post.

Too many people in relationships make assumptions about how single people feel about being single. They assume we are all pathetic, lonely and desperate to be in a relationship. Far too many people in relationships look upon singles as people to be pitied. Not true.

I am saying I want a day specially dedicated to celebrating happy singleness, just as Valentine's Day celebrates couples.

I've been a shallow pot in the past, but I've resolved to be a deeper pot in 2010. "To be, or pot to be, that is the question . . . "

Deeper like a pasta or lobster pot?

Neuro... if you come back... I was totally teasing you. I got no animosity.

I don't think we have to analyze every thing. I say claim a day and go with it.

Hey, don't touch that stove knob!

tastes like chicken?

I'm a pot, I have a pot, I have a pot belly, I've smoked pot(and inhaled), I've always wanted a pot-bellied pig, my WIP has gone to pot, I sit on the pot daily, heck, I've even worshipped the pot. Mattew McConaughy is a pottie..oh, I mean a liddie...ok, stop me..anyone

A pot without a lid can be beautiful as well as useful.

a lid without a pot is worthless.

We could start a list of things that are good about being a lidless pot (or potless lid). I'll start with one that I'm truly thankfully for.

1. On holidays you don't have to spend time with another family (including participating in whatever goofy family traditions they have, such as making a living nativity scene in the front yard in below freezing weather). Said family usually lives three states away and you have to spend half your holiday traveling back and forth.

Hey, Heather, can we make it Chocolate Lidless Pot Day? I'd like that.

alleycat · Jan 1, 2010

3. You don't have to care how many shoes (or golf clubs, or power tools, or widgets) your significant others buys; it's not like you have to help pay for them.

Lidless Pot: I found this cute dress at Macy's, but it's four-hundred dollars. Do you think I should buy it?
Potless Lid: Sure, go ahead.

I second that. We are single. We can smother ourselves in chocolate.

I'm assuming it's still okay to, uh, stir the pot, so to speak . . .

I was thinking about the OP mentioning dating sites which are basically scams - they advertise all gorgeous potential mates and when you join for the free trial send you fake date requests from fake profiles. For some reason it's the only advertising they show on Facebook, at least for me. Stop looking at my soul, Facebook!
At least with speed dating the date candidates are real. No one would make those people up.

Mario, a lid without a pot, which is as useless as a....(see Kill Bill 2 for the rest of that quote

We should all go to a Hallmark store and ask for Lidless Pot Day cards. They claim to have EVERY kind of card in their store.

Well, my sweet Susie, I've already taken the chocolate into consideration

Hey we singles don't need your "Love Day" but we'll eat all your chocolate because we don't have to worry about our "loved one" noticing our weight gain.
