August 5th: National Underwear Day, National Work Like A Dog Day, National Oyster Day, American Family Day, National Friendship Day, and National Sisters Day

If you’re like many Americans, your mother warned you to always wear clean underwear, because you never know when you will be in an accident! Although there are probably better reasons to wear fresh underwear, this is the one that most often comes to mind. Underwear is the layer of clothing worn closest to the body and under the outer clothing. It protects clothing from sweat and provides the wearer protections from cold and chafing. Underwear also provides support and shapes a body. Fabrics allow underwear to be designed for specific climates and sports. They are designed for both modesty and to look alluring. Freshpair founded National Underwear Day on August 5th, 2003.

The English language is often confusing. Take, for instance, two common idioms we use in our everyday lives: “It’s a dog’s life” and “Work like a dog.” “It’s a dog’s life” refers to dogs being able to laze around and sleep all day, having no worries or issues more pressing than dinner time. “Work like a dog,” on the other hand, suggests just the opposite. It means working to your maximum ability for an extended length of time. How can these two phrases both be appropriate when they mean contradictory things? Although the origins of “Work like a dog” are not known, it most likely refers to actual working dogs. Sheep dogs and sled dogs are good examples. They are bred to work hard – working even gives them pleasure.

Oysters are enjoyed as a seafood in many parts of the world. There are over 100 different species of oysters. They’re typically named after the body of water in which they’re grown because oysters take on the characteristics of the water in which they live. Here are some other interesting oyster facts: The largest oyster-producing body of water in the world is located in Chesapeake Bay on the east coast of the U.S. Almost two billion pounds of oysters are eaten each year. In the U.S., east coast oysters tend to be smaller, milder and saltier. West coast oysters are creamy and sweet. Only one out of every 10,000 oysters will produce a pearl.

American Family Day is a perfect occasion to enjoy the waning summer rays with those dearest to us. Established as a day encouraging families to spend time with one another, the Day was specifically proclaimed to avoid gifts and to focus on family relationships. Now annually celebrated across the United States on the first Sunday in August, this day began as a 1-year proclamation signed by Governor Raul Castro, declaring August 7, 1977, as American Family Day. The following year, Governor Bruce Babbit signed American Family Day into law as an official Arizona holiday.

National Friendship Day was originally founded by Hallmark in 1919. It was intended to be a day for people to celebrate their friendship by sending each other cards, but by 1940 the market had dried up, and eventually, it died out completely. However, in 1998 Winnie the Pooh was named the world’s Ambassador of Friendship at the United Nations, and in April 2011 the United Nations officially recognized July 30th as International Friendship Day; although most countries celebrate on the first Sunday of August!

National Sisters Day is your chance to show your appreciation for that unique bond only sisters can understand. All siblings have the odd argument here and there, but deep down there’s little way around the natural connection between siblings. Cherish the memories and make plans to create new ones. Reconnect or patch up any misunderstandings. Sisters are forever.

Underwear day, really! Of all things we have to observe, undies. What do we do run them up a flag pole! Some undies you wouldn't even know if they were up a flag pole or not.😂 What would some do without their working dogs.🐕 No oysters thank you very much. Three real special occasions in one day, family, friendship and sisters. They must have made those for all/us.😃

Sending sisterly hugs and family hugs to Mr Happy.🐕❤️🐶🐾💕🌷💕
