National Peanut Cluster Day: More
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Peanut Cluster Day'.
[The Hankster says] So good and so simple to make. An accident hoping to happen. Spill some liquid chocolate, then spill some peanuts on top and ignore for a few minutes.
Tomorrow we have several days all devoted to the ladies.
First is 'International Women's Day'.
[The Hankster says] It had it's beginnings in a socialist movement (see 1911 below) , but today it highlights the dignity and contributions of women to society. In some countries it is treated on a level with Mothers Day and such holidays.
Second is 'Women's Rights'.
Third is 'International Working Women's Day'.
Fourth is 'Girls Write Now Day'. A companion day to prepare girls to become women via literary endeavors.
Tomorrow is 'National Proofreading Day'.
[The Hankster says] . i Hop no 1 wastes there time roofing this here posty,,
One for you farmers out there. Tomorrow is 'National Agriculture Day'.
[The Hankster says] Well, I guess this is really for everyone.
For you Girl Scouts, tomorrow will be 'Girl Scout Sunday'. The first Sunday of 'Girl Scout Week' which includes their birthday, March 12.
We also have what I consider to be three loosely related holidays tomorrow.
First is 'The Start of Daylight Savings Time '.
Second is 'Check Your Batteries Day'.
[The Hankster says] If you don't have another set day to do so, why not on this day. Besides smoke detectors and such you may find a few battery operated clocks that need attention.
Third is National Be Nasty Day'.
[The Hankster says] This may not be directly related to the daylight savings time change, but I will be in this mood after loosing an hour of sleep.
We have three awareness days tomorrow.
First is 'Patient Safety Awareness Week'. First day of week long 8-14 event. Health care providers, 2015 theme 'United in Safety'.
Second is 'World Glaucoma Week'. First day of week long event 8-14 in Australia and New Zealand. 2015 theme 'Beat Invisible Glaucoma'.
Third is 'Multiple Birth Awareness Week'. First day of week long event 8-15 in Australia. Celebrates the joy and challenges of parenting twins.
Michael Keaton once said 'There comes a point in your life when you realize how quickly time goes by, and how quickly it has gone. Then it really speeds up exponentially. With that, I think you start to put a lot of things into context; you start to see how huge the world is, and really, the universe.'
[The Hankster says] Looking into the past is a great way to put the world in context. Today is fleeting and we won't know the consequences until tomorrow. As I write these posts I see the days, weeks and months, so quickly pass. One day closer, one week closer or one month closer to the day I die. We can do something today, to make tomorrow better. A look into the past, let us say March 8, might also give us a little insight as to how to act today and prepare for tomorrow.
In 1817, The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is formally established.
In 1911, International Women's Day is launched in Copenhagen, Denmark, by Clara Zetkin, leader of the Women's Office for the Social Democratic Party in Germany.
From Wikipedia: ,
'International Women's Day (IWD), also called International Working Women's Day, is celebrated on March 8 every year. In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political, and social achievements. Started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries, primarily in Europe, i ncluding Russia. In some regions, the day lost its
political flavor
, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. In other regions, however, the political and human rights theme designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner. This is a day which some people celebrate by wearing purple ribbons.'. M

March origin (from Wikipedia):
