There was this Lawyer
Posted Sunday, August 31st, 2008 by Layla |
Love Litigating Lawyers Day is an actually holiday. I don't know who loves lawyers. Lots of people love lawyer jokes. Maybe this is for those hardworking lawyers that still believe in the system and that they are going to make a difference. If you know a lawyer or law student you can show you appreciations by giving them this Law School in a Box as a gift. Well maybe not your appreciation but it is better than another lawyer joke. |
Flame Broiled
Posted Saturday, August 30th, 2008 by Layla |
National Marshmallow Toasting Day is a sticky holiday. Well it is after you get covered with warm marshmallow. The only question about today is do you like you marshmallows slightly toasted where the insides are warm and gooey or flaming where the outside looks like charcoal and the inside is hot and gooey. If you have every had a kid offer to toast a marshmallow for you chances are you have experienced the charcoal kind. These Marshmallow Toasting Forks are great for toasting marshmallows today. |
The Rules Say
Posted Friday, August 29th, 2008 by Layla |
According to Hoyle Day is to honor a little known English man Edmond Hoyle whose only accomplishment is writing down rules to common games. With Hoyle's book of rules there was no question to how a game was played. If you know someone who likes to change the rules of the games you can always tell them "according to Hoyle"... and make sure they play by the rules. Of course the game of Fluxx the rules are always changing and so is the goal not something Edmond Hoyle would have liked. |
Eating at Your Desk

Crackers Over the Keyboard Day is when you are actually suppose to eat crackers over your keyboard. If you work in an office you may have a co-worker or two that don't actually need a special day to eat or anything else over their keyboards. I know we are all guilty of it at some time or the other. For anyone who thinks this holiday is a daily occurrence this Computer Mini Vacuum is a great gift. I mean canned air can only do so much. |
No Reason

Just Because Day mean you can do things just because. You don't have to have a reason other than you felt like it. So I think this Mother-in-law Nutcracker would make a really good gift for any who collects nutcrackers and is not very upset her in-laws moved to another state. No reason, just because. |
Long road to Suffrage
Posted Tuesday, August 26th, 2008 by Layla |
Women's Equality Day was started in 1971 by Bella Abzug to commemorate the passage of the 19th Amendment which gave full voting rights to women in 1920. That's right women have been able to vote for less than 100 years. The woman who started the suffrage movement would be proud to know that a woman can not only vote but hold office and be a viable candidate for president. |
Put an End to Spats
Posted Monday, August 25th, 2008 by Layla |
Kiss and Makeup Day is a great reason to end a spat. If you had a falling out with someone and haven't made up yet today is the day to do it. Doesn't matter if it is a friend or a family member take the first step toward making up. Even if you just call them so see how they are doing. Of course if you are constantly having arguements with some one maybe you should give them a clue with this Things You Must Do To Make Me Happy notes. Some people just need a bit more help than others. |
Belgian or American

Today is National Waffle Day. Cornelius Swarthout pantented the first U.S. Waffle Iron on this day in 1869. Several countries have their own variety of waffles. Some are flat while others are thick and fluffy. In some countries waffles are sold by street vendors. The real questions is how do you eat your waffle? Do you just poor syrup over the waffle and dig in or do you have to have butter and syrup in each indivual square? If you know a waffle connoisseur a gift idea for them would be this Waffle Belt Buckle instead of a waffle iron. |
Riding the Wind
Posted Saturday, August 23rd, 2008 by Layla |
Today is Ride the Wind Day. It is a day to float on a breeze and drift in the clouds. With summer comming to an end and cooler weather approaching enjoy the last of the warm breezes for the year. Take time today to relax and let your worries and stress drift away. Maybe even take the time to go fly a kite. |
Old People Rock
Posted Thursday, August 21st, 2008 by Layla |
Today in National Senior Citizen Day. Old people can be really neat and they usually have the best stories to tell. I mean have you ever met and old person who did not have to walk 6 miles to school in snow, up hill both ways. I like old people that complain about other old people being old. But you don't dare laugh at them because those canes hurt. If you know someone older who hasn't slowed down give them The Official Geezer Club Kit. |
