Take a sledgehammer and wrap an old sweater around it. This is your "shovelglove." Every week day morning, set a timer for 14 minutes. Use the shovelglove to perform shoveling, butter churning, and wood chopping motions until the timer goes off. Stop. Rest on weekends and holidays. Baffled? Intrigued? Charmed? Discuss here.
Mind you, it's not within the rules to decide on the day itself that it's an S day, I think. Not if you already had a whole year's notice of when it was taking place!
I hadn't planned on taking an S-day; I was just wondering what everyone else was doing.
We do a "blessing of trick or treaters" every Halloween here at the church, and give them candy. I just made up 50 bags, and the sweet smell is slightly sickening. Nope, no s-day for me!
My wife made my lunch this morning (not a usual occurence) and must have figured it was an S day. There was a Snickers in my lunch (I think that's a Mars bar to you Brits - our Mars bars don't have peanuts).
I withstood the onslaught and didn't eat it. I Wanted to. But I didn't.

"Respecting the 4th S: sometimes."
To make this more of a shovelglove discussion let me say that I am about to SG, and in the spirit of Halloween I will smash some uneaten Halloween candy with my sledge before I begin.... Now if only I could find someone to clean up this mess when I get done.
