I Love Lucy, an American sitcom starring Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance and William Frawley made its debut on October 15, 1951. The program created a new television experience with the first filmed and scripted program performed before a live audience. The studio literally knocked a hole in a concrete wall creating room for theater seating inviting the once-banned fans to see the stars perform – for free! The new format and I Love Lucy won five Emmy Awards, received numerous nominations. In four of its six seasons, I Love Lucy was the most-watched show in the United States and was the first to end its run at the top of the Nielsen ratings. In 2002, TV Guide ranked the sitcom television’s 2nd greatest show of all time, and in 2007 it landed on TIME Magazine’s “100 Best TV Shows of All-TIME” list.

National Grouch Day! According to Sesame Street Magazine, National Grouch Day was created for all grouches to celebrate their way of life. Sometimes grumps give backhanded compliments. “Your house looked horrible until you painted it.” Other times they don’t give them at all. Noise, silence, general activity will make a grouch generally unpleasant. As per Merriam-Webster dictionary, a grouch is described as: a person who complains frequently or constantly a habitually irritable or complaining person. It seems that a grouch may be happy (although they would never admit it) only when others are unhappy and grouchy. It is then that they feel most comfortable with having others share in their grumpy, cantankerous, surly world with them. National Grouch Day would be a good time to send a grouch e-card and then ask a friend, whether they be a grouch or not, to come on over, sit back, share some popcorn, relax and watch the movie Grumpy Old Men! This Sesame Street inspired holiday has been celebrated since at least 1976.

National Latino AIDS Awareness Day! The NLAAD campaign works annually at building capacity for non-profit organizations and health departments in order to reach Latino/Hispanic communities, promote HIV testing, and provide HIV prevention information and access to care. National Latino AIDS Awareness Day is organized by The Latino Commission on AIDS (LCOA), the Hispanic Federation and many other organizations.

National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day! It is a day of remembrance for pregnancy loss and infant death which includes, but is not limited to, miscarriage, still birth, SIDS or the death of a newborn. Each year this day is observed with remembrance ceremonies and candle-lighting vigils. National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day is observed on October 15 in Canada and in recent years the United Kingdom, Western Australia, New South Wales and Italy. On October 25, 1988, the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Movement began in the United States when President Ronald Reagan designated the month of October 1988 as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. In 2002, the October 15th Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day Campaign began as an American movement. Robyn Bear, Lisa Brown and Tammy Novak petitioned the federal government as well as the governors of each of the 50 states resulting in 20 signing proclamations recognizing October 15, 2002, as the first observance of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day (PAILRD). As a further effect of the American campaign effort, Concurrent Resolution H.Con>RES.222 supporting the goals and ideals of National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day was passed in the House of Representatives on September 28, 2006. All 50 states yearly proclaim the day with 8 states enacting permanent proclamations. These states are Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, New York, Rhode Island and South Dakota.

National White Cane Safety Day! Since 1964, White Cane Safety Day has been a national observance in the United States. This day has been set aside to celebrate all of the achievements of people who are blind or visually impaired and the important symbol of blindness and tool of independence, the white cane. A joint resolution of the United States Congress H.R. 753 was signed into law as Pub.L.88-628 on October 6, 1964, and codified at 36 USC § 142. It was this resolution that authorized the President of the United States to proclaim October 15 of each year as White Cane Safety Day. Within hours of the passage of the joint resolution, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the first White Cane Safety Day proclamation. White Cane Safety Day was also named Blind Americans Equality Day, in 2011, by President Barack Obama. For more information regarding White Cane Safety Day from the National Federation of the Blind, see: https://nfb.org/white-cane-safety-day.

National Clean Your Virtual Desktop Day! This is a day to think back to when their computer was new and the desktop was clean and organized, then to take the time to clean it out and straighten it up. National Clean Your Virtual Desktop Day was created by The Personal Computer Museum located in Brantford, Ontario Canada.

I've never been to an aesthetician. I don't know about cheese curds but I love mozzarella sticks. I remember watching I Love Lucy show and the laughs. I wonder if there is a Lucille Ball theme day. She's had quite the life. Who hasn't had a grouch day. And yes I could watch 'Grumpy Old Men' again. Everyone should beware of not only AIDS but all other transmitted diseases. I've been to two infant funerals, and I don't care to go to another(one niece, one nephew). I've never been around someone who uses the white cane, the seeing eye dog yes but not the cane. I can't stand my virtual desktop being messes, so I guess this day is for me every day.

Sending cheesy hugs. And extra hugs for cheesy boy Bixby and Gilbert.🐶🧀🐶🎃👻💕🍂💕
