DISH loves huggie days and it has come to our attention that today is National Hug a Jew Day. It's considered a world-wide event, so we're not sure how it came to be known as the "national" but whatever...

So here are the rules...

* Every Jew that you see you must address with a hug

* This is an events for everyone around the world, Jews and non-Jews.

* Jew, in this event includes: any sect or part of Jewishness (half, quarter, traditional, conservative, reform, orthodox, chareide, chabad, ALL JEWS INCLUDED).

*Remember, invite all your friends and lastly everyone, HAPPY HUGGING!!

*** some religious jewish people can not touch the other sex so be careful if you have the slightest doubt you may want to ask them if you can hug them

you can hug the same person more than once and can recieve more than one hug. please take as many pictures as you can and send them to me and i will post the ones i think are the best, which would be most of them!

HAPPY HUGGING!

Head over to the Health Museum at 1515 Herman Drive and behold...The latest and greatest in Surgical Techniques! Yes, Houston is known for their boobs, lips, lifts and lipo, but we do other things here too! There will be drinks and snacks (not that anyone will be caught dead eating!!) but it's between 6-8 so look fast!DISH will be there!

Ok, enough jokes, it's actually a pretty cool event! You can be the surgeon as you take an up-close look at the latest surgical techniques at the exclusive preview of this limited-engagement exhibit at the Health Museum. This is a FUN (yes, FUN!), interactive exhibit that takes learning to a whole new level for all ages.

Also happening this evening before you hit up the Museum, make sure you stock up on your gift closet from Sloan/Hall! They are having one of their rare sales to make room for new merch and it's all practically a steal!!

Blessings and Love DISHIES!!!
