Daily Holidays - November 30

National Mousse Day Fun fact: Teeny, tiny air bubbles (from whipped egg whites or cream) are to thank for a mousse's signature delicate and light-as-a-feather texture. http://www.food.com/food-holidays/mousse-day-1130

Computer Security Day

National Meth Awareness Day Methamphetamine also known as Meth, Crystal, Crank and Speed is a highly addictive central nervous system stimulant. Chronic use can lead to paranoia, hallucinations and violent behavior. Long-term use and/or high dosages can lead to toxic psychosis, stroke, heart attack and death.
In an effort to raise awareness about the growing epidemic of people addicted to Meth and the dangers associated with it, The Meth Project Foundation was established in 2005 by Thomas M. Siebel chairman of First Virtual Group.
“The Meth Project is a large-scale prevention program aimed at reducing Meth use through public service messaging, public policy, and community outreach. Central to the program is a research-based marketing campaign and community action programs designed to communicate the risks of Meth use.” https://go2asap.com/blog/2011/11/november-30th-national-meth-awareness-day

I think that the meth addicts are a bit too busy to know that there is an awareness day for them.

When I was an inpatient in an Army hospital a long time ago, I used to crack up the patients and staff by doing a Snoopy suppertime dance. Silly, yes, but hey--we didn't have much entertainment, so we had to make do. The spectacle of an Army Captain doing that dismayed some, but they were by far the minority.
