Welcome back to our series of sharing Unique Holidays: August 5th, 2021. Take a look at the Holidays being celebrated today and let me know which one you most would like to celebrate and why.
Charlie thought having a Holiday to celebrate underwear kinda strange. If the truth is told I think its funny to celebrate Underwear as well. But underwear are a staple in most peoples live. So why shouldn’t we celebrate underwear?
National Underwear Day is today to take part in this Holiday you must put on a clean bra and panties, tighty whities or boxers, and go out to celebrate this Holiday.
According to their website, Freshpair, Inc., the founders of this day, celebrates every year by “holding New York City model events, massive underwear giveaways, a pop-up shop in Columbus Circle, and a Times Square runway show.”
In 2013, Freshpair organized over 800 people dressed in their underwear in NYC’s Times Square, to break the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people in their underwear. Believe it or not, this was not enough to break the record. But, thanks to this event, a new Holiday was born. Charlie says he wouldn’t have minded being a part of the event. I think I will pass. No, one would want to see me in my underwear.
Today is a great opportunity to strut your favorite t-shirts, bras, panties, tighty whities and boxers. Please do so in good taste. For Charlie says he would put on a Fashion Show but if you ask David and I if were going to participate in the fashion show the answer is no. But you can if you want to.
The History and Origin of National Underwear Day:
Freshpair, an internet company, founded National Underwear Day on August 5, 2003.
Today is a pearl of a day and that’s because today is National Oyster Day What a perfect day to learn about this delicious Mollusk, and to enjoy an Oyster recipe, or two, or three, or……
Which Charlie and I will pass on but if David could be might like to celebrate National Oyster Day because he likes Seafood. I would have to ask David.
Did you know there are five varieties of Oysters, and over 100 species. Many of these Bivalve Mollusks are edible. Are you hoping to find a lucky pearl in the Oysters your eating!? Don’t hold your breath, as the varieties that produce pearls, are not the edible ones you find on your plate.
Have it your way because people either love Oysters, or they hate them. There’s no in between. If you are one of the lucky ones who love Oysters, there are countless ways to eat them. Recipes abound. You can eat Oysters raw or cooked. Try Oysters in Stews, Chowders, Soups, Grilled, Broiled, or Baked. Oysters are even popular in Thanksgiving recipes inclduing Stuffinf (Dressing). One of the favorites is Raw Oysters on the Half Shell, served with Champagne or Absinthe. And, don’t forget Oysters Rockefeller….yum!
Oysters taste better when they come from cold Water in Winter months.
Now, here is the great news… Oysters are good for you in many ways, including:
- Boosting your sex drive.
- High in Vitamin A and B12, as well as Zinc.
- Aids the Immune System
- Gets rid of Acne
- Eases Rashes
- Oysters strengthens bones
Are you a gardener? Then, don’t throw away the Oyster Shells. Oysters are high in Calcium which is beneficial for Plant and Soil Health. Smash or crush Oysters, and work them into the soil or mix them into your compost pile for later use.
Don’t let another minute go by without celebrating National Oysters Day with a plate of oOsters any way you want them.
” The History and Origin of National Oyster Day:
Our research didn’t uncover the creator of this day, or when the Holiday was created. We suspect it was either someone in the Fishing industry looking to promote Oysters, or a chef who wanted everyone to enjoy this culinary Seafood treat.
We didn’t find any documentation confirming this to be a “National” day and wefound no congressional records or presidential proclamation.
Work Like a Dog Day honors and recognizes the hardest working among us. Which is my family is David who has been on Vacation and working like a dog to get our home organized and set up.
Some people skate by, doing as little as possible and others, do only what they have to. While others still work like a dog while work is to be done, they dig in relentlessly and they seldom take a break until the task is completed.
We want to make sure to differentiate between “Work-A-Holics” and those who “Work Like a Dog”. Work-A-Holics are always working, even though they may not be working hard and those who work like a dog, work very hard while they are working. But, they do not work all of the time.
Today is a day to show appreciation for those who carry more than their load, and work like a dog. You can also honor them by working like a dog today.
