Happy Beltane, everyone. I've been told that heterosexual couples that do not want children just yet should obstain from sexual activity. You've been advised.

Other holidays today include May Day or Worker's Day, and the commemoration of the Haymarket Riot which occured May 1, 1886 in Chicago. There was a nation wide strike to limit work days to 8 hours a day. A mass meeting was held in the Chicago haymarket to protest a police action of the previous day in which workers were killed. When police ordered the protest meeting to disperse (peaceful though it was), a bomb was thrown by an unknown person, killing several officers. Every country in the world except the United States remembers this day.

Today's special word is: Merkin (brought to us today by my Latvian friend, Peteris)

In other news, I made two trial chaplets last night that both turned out great. Making the chains takes a rather long time and numbs the fingers. So I'm cool with a little bit of mark up ;) I'll take pictures and post soon.

Hey, thanks for the link =) Though for the cord rosaries the knots are a bit different. You only separate the Our Father beads with the knots - they resemble more of a coiled noose type know. But this is cool for different styles =) Thanks.

Well I know nothing about rosaries so I'll take your word for it on the knots. And glad I could help. I figure this way you don't have to wait for your special stick ;)
