July is the seventh month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of seven Gregorian months with the length of 31 days. It is, on average, the warmest month in most of the Northern hemisphere (where it is the second month of summer) and the coldest month in much of the Southern hemisphere.

In the Northern hemisphere:
Dog days begin in early July, when the hot sultry weather of summer usually starts.
Summer school is under way for many students.
Spring lambs, born in late winter or early spring, are usually sold before July 1st.
July was renamed for Julius Caesar, who was born in that month.



Previously, it was called Quintilis in Latin, since it was the fifth month in the ancient Roman calendar, before January became the first month of the calendar year (the year when displayed as twelve months in order) during the time of the decemvirs about 450 BC. In the ancient Roman calendar the ides of July fell on the 15th day of the month.


July starts on the same day of the week as April every year, and January in leap years.

Why do chicken coops only have 2 doors?

Because if they had 4 doors they would be called chicken sedans!

You know you're trying to conceive when.....

Women:

You think you might wet your pants every morning because you can't go to the bathroom until your thermometer beeps.

Your calendar at work is color coded for the days leading up to ovulation.

You tell people you work for the FBI because they look at you funny when you use jargon like BBT, TTC, and AF.

Anyone else would need a decoder to read your fertility chart.

Suddenly, everyone around you is either pregnant, nursing or with a child

You've created voodoo dolls for all of the people who've asked, "Are you pregnant yet?"

You're about as interested in sex as you are in balancing the checkbook.

Men:

You open your briefcase and find a sticky note from your wife that says, "Don't drink any coffee, no cocktails after work, don't stress out and keep your 'boys' cool."

You're sleeping in front of the fireplace and showering at the gym because your wife turned down the water heater at home and took away your electric blanket.

You look like someone out of a rap video because your new boxers keep riding up and out of the top of your pants.

You feel like your wife has an alarm clock in her shorts because every four weeks or so, she comes running out of the bathroom saying, "Drop your pants--it's time!"

Someone asks you what day it is and you reply, "Cycle day 20."

You know enough about the workings of the female body to teach a health class at the high school.

You're about as interested in sex as you are in balancing the checkbook.

If well-known companies offered fertility drugs, would they have to come up with new slogans? We think not...

Shell:
Moving at the speed of life

Flintstones Vitamins:
Ten million strong, and growing

Pepsi:
Generation next

Cotton:
The fabric of our lives

General Electric:
We bring good things to life

If there is anything that I missed or you would like to have something added please send me a PM and I will add it right away! =)
