Red Dawn premieres as the first movie to receive the first PG-13 rating on this day in 1984
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Awareness Spotlight shines on…
AGENT ORANGE AWARENESS DAY seeks to lend aid to the veterans who have been exposed to it. The stuff worked great for clearing the jungles, but it plays havoc with our Vietnam Vets. Hodgkin’s and Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Diabetes Type II, Leukemia, Multiple Myeloma, and prostate cancer are just some of the diagnoses that come from exposure to this chemical. The Veterans Affairs provides exams free of charge if you suspect you came into contact with it.
Our Furry Friends
NATIONAL SPOIL YOUR DOG DAY probably doesn’t need its own special day. I can’t think of a dog who isn’t “extra loved” every day. But, if you need an excuse to pamper Fido or Duchess, today is the day.
Celebrate You with…
If you don’t feel like doin’ nuttin’, NATIONAL LAZY DAY has got you covered. Kick back, relax, and if anyone asks you why you aren’t being more productive – tell them you are – you’re celebrating.
Today’s Fashion Trends
The Pink Room founded NATIONAL SHAPEWEAR DAY to celebrate the advancements in these form fitting garments. Today’s shapewear has come a long way since the whale bone corset. It is a lot more comfortable and supports and compresses those stubborn areas, so you look even better than you do now.
On Today’s Menu…
It might be a little warm outside to start a campfire, but don’t let that stop you from celebrating NATIONAL S’MORES DAY. Toast your marshmallow just right – lay it on top of that chocolate covered graham cracker and smoosh it down with another. There is nothing like this delicious gooey, sticky mess.
