Dedicated in honor of the worker, it is also appropriately called the “workingman’s holiday”. The holiday is dedicated to you in respect and appreciation for the work you do in or outside of the home, union or non-union, big company, small companies, or government. As long as you work somewhere at something, this holiday is for you! Here’s a special salute to all the hard working women in America, THANK YOU!
Labor Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September that celebrates the contributions of America’s workforce.
There is still some doubt as to who is actually the first person to propose the holiday for workers.
The first Labor Day celebration in the United States can be traced to New York City’s Union Square on Sept. 5, 1882. It was designed as a way to appease city workers after numerous strikes and in some cases even violence.
By the time it became a federal holiday in 1894, thirty states officially celebrated Labor Day.
President Eisenhower designated May 1 as both Law Day and Loyalty Day. Each of these were specifically aimed at replacing the communist holiday with a religious or patriotic one. In many countries, May Day is also Labor Day.
In the early 20th century, white was the uniform of choice for Americans well-to-do enough to decamp from their city digs to warmer climates for months at a time: light summer clothing provided a pleasing contrast to drabber urban life. If you look at any photograph of any city in America in the 1930s, you’ll see people in dark clothes. By contrast, the white linen suits and Panama hats at snooty resorts were a look of leisure.
Traditionally, Labor Day is celebrated by most Americans as the symbolic end of the summer.
Thieves stole a man’s penis while he slept, according to police.
Fei Lin, 41, of the Niqiao village near Wenling City, in east China’s Zhejiang province, told police he was asleep when the thieves burst into his room and put a bag over his head, according to CEN/EUROPICS and as reported in the Daily Star.
“They put something over my head and pulled down my trousers and then they ran off,” Lin said. “I was so shocked I didn’t feel a thing – then I saw I was bleeding and my penis was gone.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, 7-ELEVEN!
The convenience store chain celebrates its 85th birthday on July 11 with free 7.11-oz. Slurpees at participating locations from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Here’s 7-Eleven’s store locator. Call the location nearest you to find out if it’s running the deal.
The event also marks the 45th birthday of 7-Eleven’s iconic frozen drink, the Slurpee. The chain plans to dole out seven million free ones this year, which would exceed last year’s figure of two million to become the most Slurpees given away in the company’s history.
7-Eleven’s story can be traced back to 1927, when Southland Ice Company employee Joe C. Thompson started selling milk, eggs and bread out of an ice house. Thompson became so successful that he bought the entire company, keeping his stores open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. By 1952, he’d opened 100 stores under the 7-Eleven brand. As of 1991, the company has been run by Japanese group Seven & I Holdings Co. with more than 46,000 stores in 16 countries.
In a release, 7-Eleven explains how a mishap at a drive-in hamburger eatery sparked the genesis of what became known as the Slurpee:
When the soda fountain broke at his drive-in hamburger restaurant, proprietor Omar Knedlik began serving his customers icy-cold bottled soft drinks that he kept chilled in a deep freeze. Customers clamored for the slushy semi-frozen bottled drinks, and Knedlik hit upon the idea of creating soft-serve frozen drinks.
Knedlik later approached the John E. Mitchell Company with the idea, which resulted in the creation of a machine that used compact freon refrigeration to freeze a carbonated drink and serve it in a sherbet-like form. Dubbed the “Icee machine,” in 1965 it was noticed by a visiting 7-Eleven manager who bought three of them. By 1967, they were in almost every 7-Eleven store.
To all who are serving, have served and who have lost their lives in the fight for freedom, THANK YOU.
APRIL 26, 2009 marked the first Crisco Kidd Community Care Day in the city of Houston. I am forever grateful for my family, friends, supporters and even those who have doubted.

Please start today (4/26) and continue throughout the week, to do something(s) for others that you normally wouldn’t do, to make a positive difference.

DICK CLARK PASSES AT AGE 82
Time sadly caught up with America’s oldest teenager.
Dick Clark, the iconic TV host and producer who put younger folks to shame with his work ethic and energy until he was slowed by a stroke eight years ago, has died. He was 82.
He suffered what his agent, Paul Shefrin, described as a “massive heart attack” this morning while at St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, where he was recovering from an outpatient procedure he has last night.
“Attempts to resuscitate were unsuccessful,” Shefrin said in a statement. “He is survived by his wife Kari and his three children, RAC, Duane and Cindy.”
And, needless to say, generations of fans who could have picked any decade and tuned into Clark on radio or TV.
From the pioneering song-and-dance series American Bandstand—the format of which is still being copied to this day—to his annual Dick Clark’s New Years Rockin’ Eve, the New York native was a fixture of the entertainment scene.
Even when he wasn’t on camera, Dick Clark Productions (which he sold in 2007 for a reported $175 million) was a force behind event television like the Golden Globes, the American Music Awards, the Academy of Country Music Awards and So You Think You Can Dance.
Since he first heralded the dropping of the ball in Times Square for ABC in 1972, Clark missed hosting his New Year’s Eve show exactly once: He took the night off in 2004 after suffering a stroke earlier in the month, but was back on the air in 2005 along with cohost and ultimate successor Ryan Seacrest. (For the record, Rockin’ Eve was preempted in 1999, but Clark still pulled countdown duty.)
“I wouldn’t have missed this for the world,” Clark said on the air as he waited for 2006 to arrive. Most recently, he and Seacrest ushered in 2012 together.
