International Jazz Day encourages jazz fans all over the world to attend or start jazz festivals, events and parties. Why not take up the trumpet, saxophone, piano or Clarinet? Presumably not all at once, but you get the idea. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/jazz-day/National Honesty Day If youre like most people, youre utterly sick of the complete lack of honesty that exists in the world today. Whether its companies using misleading language on their products (Blueberry Muffins, contain no blueberries) or politicians being incapable of telling the whole truth of a situation, our lives are utterly inundated with a world of people and companies trying to sell us a line. Honesty Day exists to encourage people from every walk of life, and especially those in charge, to try being honest with their constituents and customers. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/honesty-day/
World Veterinarian Day was created in 2000 by the World Veterinary Association to highlight and promote the lifesaving work performed by veterinarians around the globe. Each year, a different theme is chosen which helps pet owners to remember the importance of various aspects of animal care, and how vets can help, for example ensuring your pets vaccinations are up to date. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-veterinarian-day/
Oatmeal Cookie Day Although no record seems to exist regarding the origins of Oatmeal Cookie Day, the Internet is filled with evidence that it is a genuine celebration of what is considered to be the healthiest cookie of all. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/oatmeal-cookie-day/

Let's all eat an oatmeal cookie while getting the kitty ready to go to the veterinarian while listening to a short jazz tune

A lot of people are so afraid of hurting one's feelings. I'd rather you just tell me the truth.

(3,600 posts)4. Today is Spell Pie with a 'Y' Day
Today when referring to a fruit, fish or meat concoction in a crust, we should call it a 'py'. This is in memory of the Duke of Buckingham's immortal criticism of Dryden's Conquest of Granada.
"A py, a pudding, a py,
A py for me, and a pudding for thee,
A pudding for me, and a py for thee,
And a pudding-py for me and thee."
