Hmm, it costs $6 per month to use Angie's List. All I want is one service person. Not sure it's worth it.

Back from lunch at Tazza Mia with my friend Becky. Now, I'm watching Oprah chat with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman about their new movie, Australia.

For Remembrance Day here tomorrow (canada) many people where poppies on their jackets (actually for weeks before the day). I always thought they did that in many countries. I'm now assuming they don't do this in the US. But do they do it elsewhere?

During World War I, red poppies were seen to be among the first living plants that sprouted in the battlefields of northern France and Belgium. Soldiers' folklore had it that the poppies were vivid red from having been nurtured in ground drenched with the blood of their comrades.The sight of the poppies on the battlefield at Ypres in 1915 moved Canadian Army Lt. Col. John McCrae to write the poem "In Flanders Fields."Moira Michael, an American, read McCrae's poem and was so moved by it that she wrote a reply and decided to wear a red poppy as a way of keeping faith, as McCrae urged in his poem and she replied with her own poem:We cherish too, the Poppy redThat grows on fields where valor led,It seems to signal to the skiesThat blood of heroes never dies.She then conceived of an idea to wear red poppies on Memorial Day in honor of those who died serving the nation during war. She was the first to wear one, and sold poppies to her friends and co-workers with the money going to benefit servicemen in need. Michael worked for the American YMCA and at a meeting of YMCA secretaries from other countries, held in November 1918, she discussed the poem and her poppies.Madame Guerin, the French YMCA secretary, was similarly inspired and she approached organizations throughout the allied nations to sell poppies to raise money for widows, orphans and needy veterans and their families. This tradition spread to other countries. In 1948 the U.S. Post Office honored Michael for her role in founding the National Poppy movement by issuing a red 3 cent stamp with her likeness on it.
