Happy Birthday!🎊 Yeah, breakfast🍩 in bed🛏! My kind of morning❤️! Well here it is the long day of themes. I tried to shorten them but some just couldn't be done.

National CleanUp Day encourages all of us to take action to make the entire country a better place to live. From coast to coast, organizations and individuals alike join forces to clean up parks, trails, beaches, mountains, and open spaces. Outdoor spaces that are free of trash and litter are a more enjoyable experience for everyone. Litter, debris, and trash mar the beauty of our natural landscapes. National CleanUp Day puts litter in its place – in trash and recycle bins. National CleanUp Day provides an opportunity to make those messes right and give the landscape a fresh, clean sweep! By participating on this special day, you will be helping to send a message to your communities that you care about keeping our natural surrounding clean throughout the year. National CleanUp Day was founded to celebrate the importance of uniting to care for our outdoor spaces and remove litter so our trails, parks, and community spaces remain pleasant and unmarred by waste.

National Online Learning Day recognizes the advantages and vast potential of online learning and the accomplishments of these students everywhere.

It’s an opportunity to showcase how online learning has helped people accomplish their goals and dreams and check things off their bucket list! Evolving online technology is making education more manageable and convenient for every generation.

National Cheese Toast Day! Cheese toast is a thick slice of bread spread with butter and cheese, then toasted until it is browned and crispy. It was created by Del Johnson of Los Angeles in 1958 when he opened his first Sizzler restaurant. It was an instant success and although the recipe has changed a bit it has been around for more than five decades. National Cheese Toast Day was submitted by Sizzler USA in July of 2015.

National Linguine Day is a favorite of young and old alike. From the Liguria region of Italy, linguine means “little tongues” in Italian. Made from durum semolina flour, linguine is one of the world’s oldest kinds of pasta. Fettuccine and linguine developed around 400 years ago. While both are thin, flat noodles, linguine is more narrow and elliptical in shape causing it to be a more delicate pasta. As a result, linguine is paired with thinner, lighter sauces.

National Felt Hat Day! Historically, men and women wore hats not just as protection from the elements, but also as status symbols. Warmer felt hats were donned this time of year, replacing the lighter, cooler straw hats. Etiquette dictated what hats were worn for which occasion. Donning and doffing the hat (mostly required for men) was a good behavior learned at an early age. Primarily made from wool, felt can also be made from the fur of other animals such as rabbit and beaver. Beaver was popular during the 16th and 17th centuries, but over trapping depleted the population. The phrase “a mad as a hatter” comes from the use of mercury nitrate in haberdasheries in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Over time, daily exposure to this metal caused these tradesmen to develop dementia, tics and other symptoms causing people to believe they had gone mad. Over the centuries, many styles of felt hats have made their debut. We can identify an era by many of them. The Quaker will quickly be identified by its buckle, and the stovepipe reminds most Americans of one of its most beloved presidents. Others have odd names such as pork pie, bowler and stingy brim.

National Double Cheeseburger Day! When one beef patty with cheese tastes so amazing, the only thing left to do is double it and give it a day to be celebrated. Whether it’s grilled on the patio or enjoyed at the local burger joint, National Double Cheeseburger Day is the day to have one.

National Crème de Menthe Day! We often have pharmacists and scientists to thank for many of the liqueurs we enjoy today. That’s because many of them began as tonics and cure-alls. Crème de menthe falls into this category as well. French pharmacist, Emile Giffard, studied the cooling and digestive properties of mint. His research led him to a recipe for crème de menthe. Crème de menthe (mint cream) is sweet and is primarily derived from Corsican mint. It is available commercially in a colorless (called “white”) and a green version. The green crème de menthe obtains its color either from the mint leaves or (when an extract is used) from the addition of coloring. Both varieties have similar flavors and are interchangeable in recipes, except where the color is important. The traditional formula involves steeping dried peppermint or Corsican mint leaves in grain alcohol for several weeks (creating a naturally green color), followed by filtration and the addition of sugar. Crème de menthe is used as an ingredient in several cocktails, such as the Grasshopper and the Stinger. Because of mint’s digestive qualities, crème de menthe served is often as an after-dinner drink. Also popular in the kitchen, it is used in many recipes as a flavoring. To make a chilly adult milk shake mix crème de menthe with ice cream. Chopped pecans or shaved chocolate can be added as a garnish.

Greenpeace Day! Founded on September 15, 1971 by 17 activists who set sail on the Phyllis Cormack with hopes of stopping nuclear testing off the shores of Alaska. While the testing proceeded, the protest set in motion a movement still growing today. Greenpeace now boasts a worldwide membership. Taking on environmental issues and raising awareness, their campaigns continually strive to support and preserve the Earth. In honor of Greenpeace, Vancouver Mayor, Gregor Robertson proclaimed Greenpeace Day in 2011.

National Gymnastics Day! This classical sport has been in existence since the 5th century B.C. The Greeks developed the practice to strengthen warriors skills for battle. Focusing on all the necessary physical traits for hand to hand combat, gymnastics improves strength, dexterity and concentration. Many of the events first exhibited during the Greek Olympics are a part of competition in the modern Olympics today. The “father of modern gymnastics” is Friedrich Ludwig Jahn of Germany. In the 1700s he developed many of the events that leave the audiences gasping in awe such as the parallel bars, balance beam and jumping events. Both an individual and team sport, gymnastics competitions are found all over the world at many age and skill levels. Those competing at the Olympic level and beyond train several hours daily and start at a young age. National Gymnastics Day began in 1998 as a way to encourage gymnasts and bring awareness about the sport.

Boys’ and Girls’ Club Day for Kids! Dedicate this Saturday to celebrating children. Spend time involved in meaningful activities, celebrating the wonderment of childhood. The Boys’ and Girls’ Club of America is working to establish a day in The United States dedicated to just kids. Visit the Boys’ and Girls’ Club Day for Kids website to join the initiative.

Puppy Mill Awareness Day! Dedicated to improving the lives of dogs and ending puppy mills. National Puppy Mill Project formed the initiative for a Puppy Mill Awareness Day to spread awareness and educate the public to help end puppy mills.

Responsible Dog Ownership Day! If there is or soon will be a canine companion in your life, Responsible Dog Ownership Day encourages you to make a promise, not just to your loyal hound, but to all of those who may be affected by him. Dogs bring many benefits into our lives and to ensure they remain healthy, happy and safe; we need to be on the look out for their well-being and the well-being of those around them. Many do not take into consideration all the care involved when taking in a canine companion. Their size, energy, medical care, temperament, and many other needs are the dog owner’s responsibility. The American Kennel Club promotes Responsible Dog Ownership Day across the country annually. Since at least September 17, 2003, on the 119th anniversary of the AKC, Responsible Dog Ownership Day has been encouraging dog owners to be the most respectful, caring, and responsible companion to their canine they can be.

National Hug Your Boss Day! Some people like this day. Others love it. Some are afraid of it. Then there are those who simply loathe it. Several factors determine personal feelings about National Hug Your Boss Day. The frequency we see our bosses, or whether we work for a small or large company. How long we have been at a job may influence our feelings as well. TipTopJob.com founded National Hug Your Boss Day in 2008 to promote healthy workplace relationships.

Getting right into this. That's why they have trash disposal containers setting around so trash can be in them instead of thrown on the ground. Please help to find a cure for children's cancer. I have never taking any online courses however I do have a cousin who will be teaching for K12, one of the younger children's classes. I wouldn't mind trying the cheese toast. I love linguine shrimp alfredo. The only felt hat I ever wore was a cowboy hat. I love grilled cheeseburgers but I can barely eat a single cheeseburger, so I think a double would not be a good deal for me. I've never even heard of Creme de Menthe, no matter I don't real care for sweet drinks that well. I had no idea that's how gymnastics was started or had been around that long. We should all help to preserve the Earth. All parents should take the time to be with their kids. I think if you find you can no long take care of your pet or if you no long want them, please, don't just throw them away, find someone who will take them and care and love them. I think if I worked I would be one of those who would not want to hug my boos. Not for any pacific reason! Anyway it might not be such a good idea with sexual harassment being throw around.🎊🍩🛏❤️🧀🍜🍤🤠🍔🍹♻️🤸‍♀️🌏👨‍👨‍👧‍👦❤️🐕🐈🐇🚓
