1. PET ROCK DAY

Hallowe’en can be a traumatic time for pets. Between the parties, costumes and bombardment of trick or treaters, the non-human components of your family can find themselves a little stressed out, which is one of the reasons to spend days leading up to Hallowe’en comforting and reassuring them. Thank goodness, then, for Pet Rock Day, offering the perfect opportunity to pamper and spoil the special stone in your life.

Launched in the 1970s by advertising executive Gary Dahl, the pet rock was an antithesis to those living pets in need of regular care. It did, however, come with a mean “attack” mode. For a mere $3.95 people could adopt their very own rock, supplied on a bed of hay in a well-ventilated box. Like all things, pet rocks are more expensive these days, but you could always catch a wild one for free – just remember that undomesticated rocks may be more difficult to handle…

2. V-J DAY (VICTORY OVER JAPAN DAY)




Following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Emperor Hirohito announced Japan’s acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration and surrendered on 15th August 1945, effectively marking the end of World War II. However, the official surrender ceremony did not occur until over two weeks later, and thus President Truman marked 2nd September as the official V-J Day.

It is estimated that anywhere from 60 to 80 million people died during World War II, on all sides of the conflict. V-J Day should be seen as not only the celebration of the defeat of the tyrannical Japanese government of the time but also the remembrance of those who lost their lives.

Planning to throw a load of old junk away? Stop! Another Look Unlimited Day encourages you to take another look through what you’re getting rid of to identify things which could be donated to charity, given to friends, or recycled in another way.

4. CALENDER ADJUSTMENT DAY



Following the British Calendar Act of 1751, Britain adopted the Gregorian Calendar in 1752. However, the current Julian calendar system required them to drop eleven days in order to sync themselves with the proposed Gregorian Calendar. So, on the evening of 2nd September 1752, the population of Britain and its American colonies went to sleep and awoke the next morning to 14th September 1752.

The changeover is also responsible for New Year’s Day is celebrated on 1st January, as before then it had been celebrated on 26th March.
As a result of Calendar Adjustment Day, there was rioting on the streets by those who felt cheated, and demanded the eleven days back!

WHY IT PAYS TO BE HUNGRY | LES BROWN 📹 At end...  I was identified as mentally retarded, put back from the fifth grade into the fourth grade, and stayed in that category until I got out of high school. I don’t have any college training. But I met a high school teacher who one day changed my life. I was waiting on another student, and when he came in, he said to me, “Young man, go to the board “and write what I’m about to tell you.” And I said, “I can’t do that, sir.” And he said, “Why not?” I said, “I’m not one of your students.” He said, “It doesn’t matter. “Follow my directions now.” I said, “I can’t do that, sir.” He said, “Why not?” I said, “Because I’m educable mentally retarded.” And he came from behind his desk and he looked at me. He said, “Don’t ever say that again. “Someone’s opinion of you “does not have to become your reality.” And as he talked, my heart began to beat fast. Tears began to run from my eyes and I was in the back just listening to him, b...
