Give Us This Day Our Daily Thread Feb 1st - Feb 28th 2026

[LoveyG]

I prefer one long thread. I would get lost with the multi-thread topics and give up.

WOW Ok the one thread wins, but I really like your suggestions. Thank you. Always feel free to come to the Daily and post suggestions or off-topic things.
I hope to make the Daily thread a must go to place every day for our members.
However,r I have not been doing my part to add to this thread. I hope to change that soon. It's been a bit crazy.
Thanks again, everyone.

GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY THREAD SATURDAY FEB.7TH 2026
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY​

In 1812, Charles Dickens was born. That man gave us gloomy orphans, creepy fog, and enough social commentary to make Victorian England clutch its pearls. Basically, he invented the dramatic miniseries before television was even a twinkle in anybody’s eye.

In 1904, the Great Baltimore Fire kicked off and burned for more than 30 hours. Over 1,500 buildings went up in smoke. Firefighters came from other cities to help… and discovered their hoses didn’t fit Baltimore’s hydrants. You can’t make this stuff up.

In 1964, four mop-topped British boys known as The Beatles landed in New York and America collectively lost its mind. Two days later, they hit The Ed Sullivan Show and teenage screaming officially became a national sport.

In 1984, astronaut Bruce McCandless II floated out into space untethered. No rope. No leash. Just him and the infinite void.

In 1992, the Maastricht Treaty was signed, paving the way for what we now call the European Union.

And here’s the kicker. In 2013, Mississippi finally made its ratification of the 13th Amendment official. The amendment abolishing slavery was ratified in 1865. Mississippi approved it in 1995. But due to a paperwork oversight, it wasn’t properly recorded until 148 years after it became law. Somewhere, a clerk cleared their throat and said, “Oh. About that.”
Thanks again everyone.
