March 6th marks the 100th birthday of Oreo cookies! Born in 1912, this delectable cookie has been a mainstay in millions of homes for the past century. The design of the cookie hasn’t changed much since 1920 and with over 490 billion cookies made, why mess with perfection! Did you know that Oreos are available in more than 100 countries?
It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices.

Happy Birthday Oreo Cookies!!
Unusual Holidays: Make a Friend Day!
I love unusual holidays and February has some really good ones, like Extraterrestrial Culture Day (2/7) and Toothache Day (2/9). But I think my favorite is this Saturday’s Make a Friend Day! Though we should strive to meet new people and make new friends all the time, it’s great that there is an actual day of observance.
Friends are a source of strength when life gets you down. Plus who else but a friend can make you laugh so hard you cry? Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best, “It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.”

National Ice Cream Day – July 17th!
Part of what makes Summer-Time so fun is using the excuse that due to the heat, you HAVE to get an ice cream to cool off! Sunday, July 17th is National Ice Cream Day and I hope that everyone has a chance to celebrate with a few scoops, a sundae or maybe a milkshake (we call them frappes in MA).
Happy Birthday Gene!!
The weekend is finally here and before I pack up for the day and head home to recharge my batteries, I wanted to let you all know that tomorrow is actor and comedian Gene Wilder’s birthday. He is known far and wide for his many hilarious movie roles especially in The Producers, Young Frankenstein and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Actually, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory freaked me out as a young kid with it’s insane images but I find myself still quoting it to this day – plus Gene was fantastic as Willy Wonka.
How do you know you’re addicted to Gamesville?

Happy Birthday Mr. T!
That’s correct! Today heralds the 58th birthday of Mr. T (born Laurence Tureaud) who gave us such memorable characters as B.A. Baracus from The A-Team and Clubber Lang from Rocky III. As a kid, I also grew up watching his awesome cartoon Mister T and enjoyed his appearance in Muppet Magazine.
He’s also appeared in Silver Spoons, Diff’rent Strokes, and was a professional wrestler for a period of time. He even released an album in 1984 entitled Mr. T’s Commandments urging kids to keep off drugs and stay in school.
