National Nut Day

National Nut Day is today.

 This day celebrates nutritious and healthy nuts (food) of all kinds. Celebrate today by eating lots of nuts, either as a snack, or in baked goods.

This day also honours all of the nutty people in the world. It gives recognition to all the kooks, loony birds and daffy people in your life. Show them you care today!

Of course it is always possible that this day celebrates the “Nut” that screws onto a bolt for fastening things.

A couple of nutty facts:

• Peanuts are not really nuts. They are Legumes, a member of the “Pea” family.
• The center of seeds, like pumpkins and squash, is called a “nut”.

Have a happy National Nut Day !!

Evaluate Your Life Day

Evaluate Your Life Day is a bit scary. It sounds just a little bit too serious for my liking. And, what if I evaluate my life, and find out that I don’t like it??

Well, for starters, you can then make positive changes.

Evaluate Your Life Day gives us the opportunity to pause and reflect upon our life, where it’s been, and where it’s going.  Are things going well? What is bothering you? What do you need, or want to change? How’s your appearance? Are you gaining too much weight?

With a self evaluation, you can then make big changes to improve the quality of your life, as necessary. Or, if things are going well, just tinker with small adjustments.

We believe that  Evaluate Your Life Day is the beginning of a happier and healthier you!

No Beard Day

No Beard Day exists so you have a good reason to shave your beard.

You’ve had a beard so long, that you don’t know what you’d look like without one. And, your lady friend isn’t so fond of it. Today brings the extra incentive you need, to shave it off and go without a beard for the first time in who knows when.

So, bare it all and show off your chin. If you don’t like it, you can always grow it back.

Have a happy and  clean-shaven No Beard Day !!

Wear Something Gaudy Day

Wear Something Gaudy Day is your chance to really stick out in a crowd.

The word “gaudy” refers to something bright, gay, cheap, showy, outlandish, or otherwise not in good taste.

Have a little fun on this day. For just one day, forego fashion and style. Look for something to wear that’s really wild and wacky, and will stick out like a sore thumb wherever you go. If you don’t have anything like this in your wardrobe, perhaps a friend does.

Note: If you’re always garbed in gaudy attire, this is your day to look like everyone else!

Origin of Wear Something Gaudy Day:

The roots of this day go back to the hit 1970’s television comedy show “Three’s Company”. Larry Dallas (played by Richard Kline), one of the characters on the show, declared a Wear Something Gaudy Day.

International Skeptics Day

International Skeptics Day is the perfect day for you…the “doubting Thomas”.

Perhaps the earth isn’t really round!? Maybe, the sky isn’t truly blue!? Does he(she) really love me!? ……..These are the words and questions of the classical skeptic.

By definition, a skeptic is a person who questions or doubts facts and theories. He, or she, is a mis-believer. A skeptic does not accept the “Given”. If you are inclined to doubt things that you see or hear, then International Skeptics Day is for you.

If you practice a little, I’m sure we can make a good skeptic out of you. Go ahead, give it a try. And, what better day to practice skepticism, than International Skeptics Day!
