Dog
In Politics Day – This is a day to celebrate the dogs that have
been part of presidential families. On this day in 1952, President
Richard Nixon gave a speech about not receiving illegal campaign
contributions for personal use. He did receive a gift that he
intended to keep for his daughters and that was a dog named Checkers.
This day is sometimes known as Checkers Day.
Celebrate
Bi-sexuality Day – This is a day for bisexual people, friends
and supporters to celebrate the bisexual community and culture. It
was first celebrated in 1999 and was created by Wendy Curry, Michael
Page and Gigi Raven Wilbur.
Restless Legs Syndrome Awareness Day – Celebrated today on Swedish neurologist, Dr. Karl Axel Ekbom's, birthday, this is a day to spread awareness of RLS, also known as Willis-Ekbom disease. The most common symptom is an irresistible urge to move in order to stop odd and sometimes painful sensations. Most of the time it affects the legs, but it can affect other parts of the body as well. Moving the body part that is uncomfortable stops the symptoms for a moment, but they keep coming back making it almost impossible for many people to sleep.
To
celebrate today, move your legs while you try to name all the
presidential dogs from American history. Then call up a bisexual
friend or family member and wish them a happy day.
