Someone out there has a metric for deciding if a given event it S Day worthy. It was something like answering a few questions and having to come up with a 7 or something.

What was it and what was that metric?

Ta!

I know what you're talking about and I can't remember who wrote it either. I want to say LA Loser.

I have my own criteria -- whioh I think is much simpler: Is this something (or someone) I would change all my plans for? If the answer is "yes", it's S day worthy. Often times I already have changed or made special plans to be present, so it's a given that it's S day worthy.

My metric for special days:

A) How often does this event happen?
(1)Regularly (2)Yearly (3)Once every two years or more.

B) Who is involved?
(1) People I know casually (2)People I consider close friends (3)Near family

C)How meaningful is this event to me personally?
(1)Not very (2)Some (3)Quite a bit
