The Continuing Saga of Prosperous Snow |
The number two is the only even prime number. Two appears frequently in religious contexts, with Noah being instructed to put two of every animal in his Ark, the Ten Commandments being inscribed on two stone tabflets, and two challahs (loafs of sacred bread) are placed on the table for each Shabbat meal in Judaism. It's considered a lucky number in Chinese culture, and Finnish residents typically light two candles for their Independence Day. Two is the lowest numbered television channel in the United States, Canada, Argentina, and Mexico, and... of course, Dr. Evil's right-hand man in the Austin Powers movie franchise is aptly named "Number Two." In recognition of the number two, send out two unexpected merit badges and/or awardicons and then write a blog entry about your experience sending a surprise gift to someone. NOTE: If you can't afford to spend 20,000 GPs on two gifts, please let me know and we'll work something out. On The Second Day of Christmas I sent a Welcome Merit badge to a newbie who joined on December 24, 2014. I chose this person because he joined on my birthday. After sending the merit badge I went to the new member's port, reviewed "Leftovers." by history's bend , and fanned the author. On The Second Day of Christmas I sent a Appreciation Merit badge to someone I am in a group with who is always encouraging. After sending the merit badge I fanned her because I hadn't yet fanned her, and then I reviewed "Sweet Harmony" by Lyn's a Witchy Woman . |
