KOOPERSMITHin': The Daily Splurge: Volume 3 - Issue #115+ via ASK: The Queen of Splurge/Chicago, IL USA

The Daily Splurge

VOLUME 3 - Issue 115+

NationalSplurgeDay’s #TheDailySplurge #115 for Tuesday, October 14, 2014 is the old Stand-By derived from Word: Tuesday that is conveniently turned into ‘TOYS-day’ for all of those familiar and in love with or fascinated by TOYS. Especially for October when Halloween takes place, the Day and Time are ripe to collect the hauntingly fascinating Toys, Costumes, and Paraphernalia that accompanies this Holiday. Stores (of every kind) are decorated in striking Shades of Orange and Black with ghoulish Accents of bewitching Trinkets, Toys & Treasures. Indulge. SPLURGE. Halloween knows no Age Limits. Its an EOSE: Equal Opportunity Spooky Event for one and for all this Fall-a-Palooza.

NationalSplurgeDay’s #TheDailySplurge #116 for Wednesday, October 15, 2014 illustrates the Importance of the Whistle. When it’s Time to ‘blow your own Horn,’ this modest Object spans a Range of History many of us don’t delve into. SPLURGING back into History is at hand for today, now known eventologically as:

For all the Whistles & Bells any Belle needs while SPLURGING, the historical Whistle is used by a vast Segment of Industries: From the Police to Play.

Whistles are extremely underrated.

I spotted one lying in the Street early this morning, which made me think of how Whistles can cause an important Sound in order to save someone’s life. A modest Whistle captures the Attention of someone who can rush to your aid by providing assistance to women who were walking home late after dark. If accosted by a predator, said Woman could easily grab a whistle, hanging from a string around her neck in order to scare the attacker away. Today, Mace or a Hand-Gun has replaced the Whistle. In honor of YOTS: Years Of The Splurges ©2010 (from 2014 to 2019 marking their 20^TH – 25^TH ABC: Anniversaries – Birthdays - Celebrations) when out on a SPLURGE, sometimes ‘Whistling Dixie’ releases a happier Note.

From Ancient China’s Night Watchmen who blew into the Top of Acorns to alert their Neighbors of invading Mongolians in the Third Century to the Ancient Egyptians along the Nile River who held 2 Papyrus Blades between their palms; to Joe Hudson’s 'Acme City' Brass Whistle (circa 1870) in Birmingham, England to the Introduction of the Whistle employed by Umpires to signal to the Players; to those Whistles played fluted as Musical Instruments or Children’s Toys; to those used in Scotland Yard, Whistles have evolved and have become a useful Tool in Modern Society. Whether being a product of Nature or Man-made, Whistles are found across the World; for training Guards, Dog Handlers, Safety Prevention, police officers and as an eBay Collectible worthy of any SPLURGE a Collector wishes to take.

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #118 for Friday, October 17, 2014 is dedicated to Kids-Who-Splurge. A certain ‘Something’ exists in Childhood that is forever lost as soon as the Teenage Years begin. This Age of Innocence is one colored with Concepts and Idea(l)s that are fleeting. However, for Today, that Fantasy is all recaptured by stating one of the Silliest Things worth saying and that is the Word: Hamsterdam. A Take-Off of a Child’s beloved Pet, the Hamster, Hamsterdam is for those amongst us who have Pets that happen to be specied as: Hamsters. Not necessarily (but indeed) inclusive of: Amsterdam, the European City that is popular no matter what your Age & Pet Preference is. Therefore, Today’s major SPLURGE is on your Pet Hamster. Visiting Amsterdam is optional, of course, as this Posting is late notice. However, those involved in Hamsterdam can always visit Hamsterdam next October 17 of 2015. Most Hamsters are self-contained; not needing to be walked or dressed up for Holidays, but each Hamster in this Class, is in a Class of her/his very own when Hamsterdam Lovers unite. A Familial Splurge Shopping Spree at a well-known Pet Store is the Order of the Day. Make your Hamster ‘King of the Exercise Wheel.’

#NationalSplurgeDay’s #The Daily Splurge for Saturday, October 18, 2014 #119 came as a totally unexpected, yet most pleasant Surprise, the way any Surprise should arrive. ‘Write’ when I was getting ready to pen the Day’s Segment of THE DAILY SPLURGE ©2014, one of my favorite Chicago Authors – a Historian – a Lawyer – a Renaissance Man - stopped into my Office to chat. We ended up catching up for more than Two Hours; therefore, this Version and Edition did not ever appear until now, Monday, October 20, 2014. Now, it’s classified as Past History (which sounds rather redundant), but then, isn’t that one of the Hottest Topics there is, especially so, when We examine The Past, which really was only Yesterday, but Yesterday’s gone. Furthermore, because Publicity is also necessary in today’s ever-changing Digital World, Andrew’s historiCALL Take now consists of a Set of 5 Books all found online at:

When a SPLURGE comes disguised as a Surprise, go for it, as you may never know what it can lead to! Afford yourself that OTO: Opportunity-To-Openness. It’s part of the Wonders of what Literature aptly and intuitively provides for us who realize its Richness.

#NationalSplurgeDay’s #The Daily Splurge for Sunday, October 19, 2014 #120 focuses on hunkering down as the Days are getting shorter and colder. Coincidentally, today is the Birthday of one of our Granite Planet’s favorite Pop Artists, Peter Max who was born in Berlin, Germany in 1937. In 1994, I created the Holidate PAINT PRETTY DAY ©1994 for him because that is what Peter does best. Therefore, take the time out to decide what will stay and what will go into storage as you prepare to hunker down for the Winter of 2014/2015. However, IF you’re reading this and live in the Southern Hemisphere, the exact opposite is happening. You’re readying yourself for Summer. Wherever you live, it’s time for a Change because the Change will do you good and SPLURGING suffices when it comes to doing just that. It’s Remedy that makes us all feel better and at our Best.

***

#NationalSplurgeDay’s #The Daily Splurge for Monday, October 20, 2014 #121 focuses on Open Access, an Event that is occurring in Universities across the World. This allows Peoples (outside Academia) to attend sessions at their local Colleges) to learn about the Digital Age and how it affects Literature and what is copyrighted in Contemporary Times. Check your Area for the Buzz Words: #OpenAccess to learn more. After all, a SPLURGE not only be materialistic. It can be an Educational Experience that is shared by a Variety of People discussing a Variety of pertinent Topics.

***

#NationalSplurgeDay’s #The Daily Splurge for Tuesday, October 21, 2014 #122 focuses on the 20^TH Year 3^RDMonth Anniversary of Nation Splurge day, now fully rewritten to include a broader Take on the Act(ion) of Splurging, primarily Impulse Buying and its correlation to Volunteer work. What this means is that for those of you who wish to SPLURGE Today (after all it is also TOYSday), turn that Splurge into a form of Volunteer Work whereby that SPLURGE directly benefits Someone or a group who sorely needs it.

Today also marks the Fourth (4^TH) Month ABC: Anniversary Birthday Celebration - that THE DAILY SPLURGE began on the First Day of Summer, 2014 which was tabulated as three (3) Days after NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 turned 20. Is this Sheer coincidence? Coinciding and coincidences are two wholly different Events. Spanning a SPLURGE over 123 Days or 1/3 of the Eventological calendar (June 21 – October 21) is where a great Deal of Interchanges have taken place and passed through via this Blog in order to share the Dynamics of how THE QUEEN OF SPLURGE properly tells how this HOLIDATE (one of 1,900) need to be commemorated and noted. Take your Impulse Buy and use the Volunteering Spirit or Work that can emphasize and give back to the - your community and those who need some help and assistance. That Spirit alone will be most appreciated.

#NationalSplurgeDay’s #The Daily Splurge for Wednesday, October 22, 2014 #123 serves as a subtle Reminder to those SPLURGERS who live in the Northern Hemisphere whereby the Weather is turning and Colder Temperatures will be ushered in soon. There’s no way of really telling if an early Winter is on the Calendar or how cold it will be, although you can consult with the Farmer’s Almanac. Farmers have an insight on Climate since that is part of their Job. Most of us mark, March 21, the First Day of Spring as the Day and Date when We can expect the Weather to be much warmer (getting balmier), but then, again, many of us can recall the Snowstorms that hit in April. Therefore, while ‘The Going’ is yet good; Today is the designated Day to splurge on taking Care of your Health (so that it takes care of you), by making sure all your Winter Needs and Supplies are well-stocked. That also includes extra Pairs of Socks and Cold-Medicine. After all, there’s nothing worse than being caught without having those Items that then make it all possible for (a) REAL SPLURGE(s) to take place. Those will be explored later, tentatively from December 21 – March 20 with ME, ‘The Queen of Splurge’ while we celebrate National Splurge Day ©1994 in its 20^TH Year as well as YOTS: Years Of The Splurges ©2010 that runs through 2019, the Holidate’s 25^TH ABC: Anniversaries– Birthdays – Celebrations.

#NationalSplurgeDay’s #The Daily Splurge for Thursday, October 23, 2014 #124 discusses the Implications of when a dynamic SPLURGE dies, thus changing the Course of the Lives of many. This Concept, of course, honors Fashion Icon, Oscar de la Renta nicknamed: The Sultan of Suave" who died on October 20, 2014. Only a Fraction of the Women (as he catered mostly to distinguished Women and Celebrities) who wanted to wear his Gowns were able to afford them. Therefore, it’s appropriate to say that his Clothing were indeed a SPLURGE when defining his Contribution to Fashion. However, the Rich who wore these Gowns can say, it was their Lifestyle that permitted them to have Oscar design for them. Without Oscar at the Flagstaff, what will his Staff do now?

Some of his remaining Staffers may be as talented as he is, but it’s the Oscar de la Renta Name, Flair and Touch will no longer be there on the Label. One of de la Renta’s Quotes was: “All you have to do is keep your eyes open…” which is what each Creative Industry understands. His Net Worth and Clientele show the Influence he wielded in having Women buy his Brand repeatedly for decades. Now, as in every Industry with Pirating (in the Music Arena crossing over into Fashion), imagine the Take-Offs of de la Rentas now that he is forever gone, but never forgotten. May Oscar de la Renta rest in Peace, knowing he added so much to every Party ever attended.

Another Fashion Flair NewsBit airing early this Morning revealed, the fanciest, most glamorous and most expensive Halloween Costume, encrusted from Head to Toe with 70,000 Diamonds. The $1.6 million Halloween Costume undoubtedly would have made Oscar smile as.

DOING THE MATH: For those of you picking up on the Splurge-On-To-Others’ Philosophy (now the Trend for 2014-2019 during YoTS: Years of The Splurges ©2010), that $1,600,000 Diamond-studded Dress could outfit 64,000 Halloweenists in a $25 Costume.

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #125 for Friday, October 24, 2014 concentrates on another one of ASK’s Holidates which is FRYghtDay ©1990 that is slated for the Friday that precedes Halloween, every year (like clockwork) for the last 24 years since Koopersmith began:

EVENTOLOGY ®

The Art of Event-Making
Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith’s Campaigns for Humanity ©1990.

Today, as Part of the 21^ST Century, the Halloween Industry ignites and kickstarts months before the Holiday Gift-Giving Season begins. But, to many active Consumers, it already has) by an extra $340 Million which is a Spectacular Slice of Pocket Change for every Guy & Ghoul. Therefore, HALLOWEEN is considered and classified as one of our hottest SPLURGE-rific Holidays here at SPLURGE CENTRAL. Decades ago before Halloween gained so much fanfare and KNOW-toriety, no one would guess that it would certainly become the Dentist’s most prized Holiday, only because Candy-Gone-Wild helps them with Post-Cavity Control as Parents lighten up and allow their Kids to indulge in a Sweet-a-Palooza that triggers Diabetes, Obesity and an Assortment of Negativities that basically may not be worth their While. To SPLURGERS who love Halloween, it just doesn’t get better than that for all the Halloweenists, past and present.

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #127 for Sunday, October 26, 2014 is dedicated to an exceptional Plan that transitioned into an exceptional Holiday, namely: KWANZAA created by: Dr. Maulana Karenga, Chairman/Professor and of Black Studies at California State University in Long Beach circa: 1966. Following the Watts Riots in Los Angeles, Dr. Karenga saw this as a feasible Way to bring African-Americans together as a Community.

The 7 Principles of Nguzu Saba highlights the African Heritage spotlighted as:

Umoja (Unity)

Kujichagulia (Self-Determination)

Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility)

Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)

Nia (Purpose)

Kuumba (Creativity)

Imani (Faith)

Kwanzaa Symbols include a Decorative Mat (Mkeka) on which other Symbols are placed, Corn (Muhindi) and other Crops; a Candle Holder (Kinara) with Seven Candles (Mishumaa Saba);a Communal Cup for pouring Libation (Kikimbe cha Umoja); Gifts (Zawadi); a Poster of the 7 Principles; and a Black, Red, and Green Fflag. The Symbols were specifically designed to convey the Seven Principles in which to live.

Therefore, the Question to ask is: How can the 7 Principles of Kwanzaa be applied to splurging for Kwanzaa this Year in order to spread Unity; Self-Determination; Collective Work/Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity and Faith?

Calendric-wise, the Celebration of Kwanzaa arrives in only Two (2) Months from Today for those who actively celebrate and for those interested in Cultural Events that affect and reflect itself in every absolute Character Trait Man should live by.

This is an Open Invitation for Companies, Individuals, Artists and Creatifs to pre-plan how your Product/Project/Brand is going to be purchased, received and/or make its indelible Mark not only in closing out 2014 on a High Note (centered around the Dynamics of Kwanzaa) and also as the Year smoothly transitions into 2015.

Q: Have you (as an Individual/Artist/Creatif) figured out WHO (known as WHAT Amount of PRAM: Public Relations – Advertising – Marketing Finesse) you are willing to $PEND (both Time & Money-wise) on getting your Product/Project/Brand into the Media’s Eyes? Competition has never ever been stiffer.

KWANZAA INSIGHTS DERIVED FROM:

National Splurge Day's #TheDailySplurge #128 for Monday, October 27, 2014 addresses an Astrological Situation (a Fly in the Ointment) haunting those who live under specified Astrology Signs. This is not to be taken lightly.

IT ALLUDES TO: The (Dis)Ability of being upset in One’s Personal Life. When this Occurrence happens, it is best to find a Distraction. But finding that Distraction can be distracting to what is currently being done. Plus, it is compounded by the fact that it is distracting to be distracted.

With 2 Positives equating to a Negative, that automatically assures that the Problem or Issue is dissolved, without harmful Side Effects. That is when Splurging comes to the Rescue. At this time of the Month, October 27, being just shy of Halloween by 4 Days, it's High Time to make sure that all the Objects and Commodities that make for a playful Halloween are all set in place.

If, for instance, you wish to help out those who may need a Dash of Orange & Black in their Diet, purchasing a Costume or Bag of Candy is suggested and permissible. Better yet, stage a house-party for local Kids in order that they get the chance to ‘Trick or Treat’ in a safe and fun Venue. For those who do not participate in Halloween, a Universe of Distractions are only a P&C: Point & Click away and are a plentiful Method to emerge oneself in the Wonders of Splurging for whatever Field of Interest that concerns them most.

National Splurge Day's The Daily Splurge #129 for Tuesday, October 28, 2014 has you & only you & your Health (primarily Teeth & Weight) in mind. Mind over Matter does matter in the Grand Course of a Year’s Events and Happenings. Derived from a very effective Quote muttered by Robert E. Hofstadter of the Hofstadter Family who has won 3 Pulitzers & 1 Nobel Prize in the mid-1900s, that Statement is: “I won’t tolerate any of your Sugar Shenanigans.” Of course, a long Story accompanies that Quotation, but for the Season and this particular ‘Daily Splurge,’ those Words can be applied to the Fact that Sugar reigns supreme at this Time of Year (clocked through the New Year) as most of us (who live in civilized Societies) indulge in WAY – WEIGH too much Sugary Foods that totally mess-up our Healthier Eating Habits that We try to abide by the other 10 Months of the Year.

The Question to consider is:

Who makes the most Money in early November?

The Answer is: The Dentists do.

With Tooth Ache Pain, Cavities& Aches hitting sky-high levels and peaking, this is due to “Americans buying $2.5 Billion worth of Candy for Halloween alone,” the National Confectioners Association estimates for 2014.

Add in the Fact that each Bite of Candy equates to approximately 50 burnable Calories, then that Number is exorbitant. Does it pay to suffer? Can anything sensible be done to CUT THE URGE TO EXCESS?

Technically, this is not considered a SPLURGE, as it’s a Primal Condition of blatant Stupidity on each Participant’s behalf, knowing what the dire Ramifications will be.

However, We here at SPLURGE CENTRAL are not here to judge. We are here to make the Art & Act of SPLURGING a Memorable Event because that is what the Stalwarts of Eventology pertain to and address, no matter what the Traditional Holiday is. It’s a matter of Personal Preference for those of you who over-indulge. Taking an Alternative Avenue may be an interesting Divergence and a nouveau Method of Splurging that ranks as a must-do in the years ahead. As Cereal ‘Mikey’ stated so many years ago: “Try it. You might like it.”

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #131 for Thursday, October 30, 2014 highlights a Daily Splurge that happens twice a Week for those of you in the TOY Industry, namely: TOYS-day for Tuesday & TOYS-day for Thursday. Upon second thought, included are those who are outside of the Toy Industry itself; those who are buyers, collectors and admirers of the Action known as PLAY, the important Activity that comprises Man’s Life in so many ways.

Throughout the World, since the Dialect is at the Base here of this SPLURGE, some Folks may not get the TOYS’ Day Angle, but trust me, for Americans, most do understand that angle. Toys in all their heraldness is the one Product that makes a Brand ‘brandable.’ The Bottom Line about TOY SPLURGES is that TOYS are universal and please us all; whether we still play with them; collect them; sell them or gift and give them away. Indeed, the Rest of the Week, inclusive of Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday are commanding Days in which to PLAY...that's why SPLURGING and PLAY are so intertwined.

Is it cold, snowy and windy out where you live today? Simply too blustery to even want to begin thinking about leaving the Warmth of your Homestead? To top that off you’d shatter since you don’t to wreck your pricey Halloween Costume on a frozen Evening like this. What can be done to remedy this Situation happening to so many people as global warming is chilling too many of us, especially those who live in Chicago, renamed as CHILL-cago. As a Resident of Chicago for 40 years now, as of 2014, I know too well how bone-chilling that Experience can be. Since Mother of Invention does come in handy at times…like times as these, I came up with a known Solution that will solve many a Problem and probably more as We as a New Society are ‘prone to drone^®.’

Just send out (Full Batteries included) your Halloween Drone from door-to-door, up and down your block, for starters or from doorstep-to-Doorstep. This work on 2 Principles. The Drone will either pick-up Goodies from Neighbor’s Front Porches; the modified High Tech Models can now ring mechanically say “BOO!” and then load up (up to 500 Pounds of pre-packaged Morsels) in a fully equipped Drone Trunk. This is undoubtedly Dentist’s Dream come true as his Appointments increase by 300% in November due to Halloween Candy Consumption.

At this time of year (when We harvest our Neighbors Kitchens and Pantries for Candy & Sweet Confections) for those who won’t leave home due to inclement Weather, it’s a Drone-come-true. A Luxury Model is programmable to pick up Goodies in Beverly Hills, The Left Bank in Paris, the Fashion Houses in Milan, the Diamond Streets of Amsterdam and every other chic chic Parts of the World, thousands of miles away from your Doorstep. This also allows others in various Corners of the World to celebrate HALLOWEEN by having their Drones visit your Household. For those equipped with high-powered Cameras, this is yet another wondrous Page for National Geographic Fans and Followers. Satisfaction Guaranteed.

And think about it? Can Droned Groceries be far behind? We at Splurge Central think this is probably the best Invention since the last Best Invention was invented.

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #133 for Saturday, November 1, 2014 is a pertinent Take-Off of the Day, Saturday and converting it to FATTER-day because starting Today, the Holiday Season begins when People start eating their way (and subsequently ‘weigh’) through the next Two Months in Industrialized Countries. This Action is hardly anything to be proud of and about. What kind of sample are you setting to the Younger Generation and Children?

By January 1 when it’s time to kickstart those Resolutions for the New Year, many People will be fatter than ever before and broader than they were before, according to how these 2 Months operate (in the Excess Mode). But, for the most part, this 2 Month SPLURGE that is psychologically disguised as a CELEBRATION and a SELL-A-BRATION can be as FUN and lively without threatening your Health, which is your Wealth and Welfare, according to ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith, the Queen of Splurge & Robert E. Hofstadter, Creative Director at SPLURGE CENTRAL located in Chicago, Illinois USA, the Capitol of Splurge. Only you can divert and redirect that SPLURGE from Over-Indulgence in Food Excess to Cultural and Aesthetics, Art and Recreational Indulgences that are what is overtly done at SPLURGE CENTRAL to avoid any false and fictitious Bouts that are habit-forming.

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #134 for Sunday, November 2, 2014 confirms that Bubble Wrap is a Snap. As millions of us ‘fall-back’ and lose an Hour of Valuable Time, there are some Objects that help the SPLURGING Process become the best it can be. The most important one (as declared by ASK & REH at SPLURGE CENTRAL) is detailed here.

As the Rap begins: It’s no crap, in a frap of a snap, it’s time to clap and fill that flap of a gap. What is it that is the leading Assistant when it comes to protecting those Objects when Mailing or Moving? What the Band-Aid is to the Sore, It’s none other than Bubble Wrap ® invented in 1957 by Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes, 2 engineers in Hawthorne, New Jersey.

The Packaging Industry, World and Planet of Splurge have never been the same. Bubble Wrap sounds like FUN; Bubble Wrap ® performs a valuable service, you cannot possibly do without. Besides, over 250 Facebook pages have been dedicated to Bubble Wrap as of January 2010.

ZAP! IT’s Bubble Wrap!

Quote of ASK: The Queen of Splurge

November 2, 2014 – 630 AM CST.

Leave no gap; go for the Bubble Wrap. Ain’t no crap. Tiz the time of season: Bubble Wrap is the Splurge of Choice for the most obvious of reasons. To protect your Stuff, this is the ‘Pop Icon’ to turn to. A (S)urge to Splurge needs Ways to protect and serve. Bubble Wrap does that.

National Splurge Day’s #TheDailySplurge #135 for Monday, November 3, 2014 asks: “What’s better than Primal Scream Therapy? Splurging, that’s what,” claims Creator/Founder/ Originator/Owner of this detailed and mesmerizing Holidate now in its 20^TH Year of Discovery. Adrienne states: “For the most part, We live in a World of Plenty. Plenty of Calories – Plenty of Bad Weather – Plenty of Corruption – Plenty of Typos – Plenty of Mistakes are made. No one should be without, yet they are. The 3N: Nightly News Numbers prove that. However, for NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 you can share that SPLURGE. It’s the most hospitable Act(ion) you can perform, especially at this time of year when several of our most important Traditional Holidays occur: Chanukah, Christmas & Kwanzaa.

“Splurges are not practical as I gazed at the Four Pairs (or Sets) of Shoes under my 3-Drawer Cherry Wood Bureau. But they were not invented or intended to be. And that’s OK. There’s no Substitute for the Experience, any Experience, involving the Splurge.”

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #137 for Wednesday, November 5, 2014 cites the Fact that Today is the 309^TH Day of the Year (310^THin leap years) on the Gregorian Calendar. With 56 more Days listed until the New Year 2015 unfolds and until the End of the Year, there will be a(ny) Number of Splurges now available and luring you in during this Period, dependent on how splurge-able you are or may become.

The Initial Impetus to kickstart the Splurge Season, compiled of Chanukah – Christmas – Kwanzaa is a Time when the BEST INTEREST of who is the Object of your Splurge starts to formulates during this impending Period.

Who you are going to SPLURGE on

and

WHAT you plan on giving them

are of tantamount Importance and for a very good Reason. Black Friday is slated for Friday, November 28, 2014; however, my Holidate, NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 and its subsequent Off-Spring: YOTS: Years Of The Splurges ©2010 are Events that Retail & Resale Merchants absolutely adore.

Perhaps one of the most fun and memorable SPLURGES – Gifts you can make Today deals with the Fact that on Tuesday, November 5, 1935 (during World War II & The Great Impression:

Parker Brothers launched the game of Monopoly

which Today covers every Topic & Subject matter that matters, conceivable and in conceivable and makes for a mighty fine Gift for Gamesters and Collectible Collectors. “No matter what,” states ASK, ‘The Queen of Splurge’ & Pop Culture Maven, “Splurging has had a Monopoly on all of us since Materialism reared it Marketing Head and we have grown accustomed to its ever-changing Face.”

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #138 for Thursday, November 6, 2014 is a waged Mixture of what happens when TOYS take-over. Granted yesterday's THE DAILY SPLURGE dealt with the Board Game Monopoly that just celebrated its 79TH Birthday, this is mere and sheer Coincidence, of which supposedly none ever truly exist.

TO REITERATE: This Comp(osition) is a waged Mixture of what happens when TOYS take-over.

It happens far too often than most of you think. Why this is so is because TOYS are considered 1 of the top 3 Items in which to SPLURGE ON. Reporting on ALL THINGS SPLURGE-WORTHY, that is one of the Assignments here at SPLURGE CENTRAL that is tracked and recorded to the Best of our Abilities & Know-How the last 20+ years since National Splurge Day ©1994 has been an Asset to the Calendrical Treasure Trove ensuring Events, both far and wide, get their fair-share of Recognition. Here and there. Basically everywhere a Product or Brand is that needs to be splurged on.

In my colorful World and dramatical Realm of calendarizing and making sure Issues are ‘timed’ as correctly as they must be, being the Major Competition of any Card Company (with over 1,900 HOLIDATES to my ASKian Name that are designed to increase Understanding and Education in and for all People), We only have Thirteen (13) TOYSdays left till Christmas arrives, the Head Honcho of Holidays for some peculiar Reason, when the most TOYS are purchased by the most People in any Single and Skinniest Unit or Fraction of Time.

For those not sure what a TOYSday is, TOYSday is the Term applied to the Slang Pronunciation of the Weekdays referred to as:

Tuesday & Thursday

that was created by ASK in order to have yet another Good Reason to SPLURGE on TOYS. Most endearing to Koopersmith, this is because she is also in the Process of penning 7 Books & 7 Movie Scripts that pertains to her personal TOY Collection, now vintage at 62+ years old, as she has been collecting them since Birth on Saturday, August 9, 1952. That alone is a good enough Reason to strictly appreciate what the Commodity of TOYS brings to any Crib, Table, Chair or Treasure Box. Four (4) of the 7 Books and Scripts are complete. One has already beat-out 3,164 other Submissions in an International Screenplay Competition, based in Hollywood in July of 2010.

RETURNING TO THOSE TOY DATES: Those Dates of extreme Relevance are:

Tuesday: November 11, 18, 25 (1 Month until Christmas)

Thursday: November 13, 20, 27 (Thanksgiving in the USA)

Tuesday: December 2, 9, 16, 23 (30^TH is a Tuesday)

Thursday: December 4, 11, 18, 25 (BINGO: As in the Game, of course. Christmas Day falls on a Thursday during 2014, keeping the Charm of TOYS-day going all the strong(er))

January 1, 2015 is a Thursday so that your Toys can be played with. That only seems fair enough. Is there a finer Way in which to begin the New Year?

This is not to say TOYS cannot be played with the same Fervor on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, as they should be.

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #139 for Friday, November 7, 2014 may just be (without and beyond the Shadow of a Doubt), the largest Real Estate Splurge in the History of the USA. That’s because it deals with a Home (more at the Compound – Palace State – or eState Levels) that is the most expensive PoP: Piece of Property yet cited by The Media.

What will $195,000,000 buy? That is the usual Question ASK, The Queen of Splurge (Creator /Founder/Originator & Owner of National Splurge Day ©1994 & The Daily Splurge & YOTS: Years Of The Splurges ©2010) asks when a Topic of this Nature presents itself (i.e.: appears in the Media so it makes us think and dream large – larger than Life, that is).

Evidently, right off the Bat (a 24-karat insured Bat @ that), if the Purchaser is extremely generous and/or s/he decides to give $1,000,000 to his closest 195 Facebook or Twitter Friends, then 195 sure-fast Friends, that’s a given, will be secured for life, or until that Amount is exhausted. That's a Lot of Exhaust, per ASK's Cal-Q-lations. We can all agree that this is most certainly a wonderful Way to start out the Holiday-Gift-Giving Season. Indeed, a Time of Splurging, when the Sky is the limit – to some/sum People.

However, there are about 195,000,000 Ways to split that Pie, beginning by giving a Buck/Dollar to the lowest on the Economical Rung: Those 195,000,000 who make $1 or less a Day. Those who live far below the Subsistence or Poverty Levels found across our Granite Planet. There’s a Demographic right there, that would surely consider that Amount a SPLURGE - a Treat - a Blessing in and of itself.

“It all depends on what Side of the Bank Account you are on,” Koopersmith deducts.

ENTER: Palazzo di Amore

Embodying Elegance, Optimum Grace and Sophistication. Every Comfort has been considered and every Detail meticulously included.

It's all about Palazzo di Amore where it's full-fledged Article is entitled:

TOUR THE HOUSE THAT AN OVERNIGHT CHINESE BILLIONAIRE MIGHT BUY FOR $195,000,000.

Yes, you too, can read more about this Palacial Property online at:

http://destinationluxury.com/tour-the-house-that-an-overnight-chinese-billionaire-might-buy-for-195000000/#kf2oWCPCf1llCcdQ.99

in case you are unable to afford this Amount of Luxury all in one Place - Palace. My Guess is that the Real Estate Agent will require all potential Buyers to sign an Agreement that they can afford this Home; otherwise, it will become a Gawker’s Piece and those who live in Beverly Hills, just hate Sight-See-ers who come and stare.

Vaguely in the Background, transcending Time & Space, I can hear my Two Dear Bubbies say: “Oy, veys meer…is that a Splurge? If not, then what is?”

For all my Friends who are Real Estate Agents, they are dying and vying to get their Hands on this Property. It spells out an Early Retirement for them. Imagine that Windfall if sold to the ‘Highest Bidder’ – evidently a Celebrity, Movie Director, Lottery Winner and/or High Tech Silicon Valley Guru who will have a hey-day with those Property Taxes. Don't quit your Day Job, that's for sure.

Say… Buddy, can you spare a Wing?

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #140 for Saturday, November 8, 2014 is rooted in yesterday's Palacio Blog and further delves into SPLURGING. With 12 bedrooms as part of the Estate, one can only wonder about buying Furniture for a Property that huge. First, of course, would be the Bed. More than likely, THE BED has to be the most expensive BED IN THE WORLD. Who sleeps on that Bed? Can a Pea be felt near its core because the Bed is that sensitive?

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #140 for Saturday, November 8, 2014 is rooted in yesterday's Palacio Blog and further delves into The Realm of SPLURGING when Money is (evidently) no Issue. As you will recall Agents were asking $195,000,000 for this Beverly Hills Home.

With 12 Bedrooms as Part of this Estate and an important one at that, one can only wonder about buying Furniture for a Property that huge. First, of course, the Primary Purchase would be THE BED. More than likely, THE BED has to be the most expensive BED IN THE WORLD. A Cot won’t due. The complete Essence of the Home must add to its Richness. Who sleeps on that Bed? Can a Pea be felt near its Core because THE BED is that sensitive? Is an expensive BED all the more comfortable?

Of course, a Web Page is devoted to the Question of:

What is the most expensive Bed in the World?

Emil Anton, the Writer estimates those BEDS high-end from $50,000 to well over $1,000,000. For that Amount, I’d expect Breakfast in Bed served every Day, 24/7 and around the Clock.

Ten of the Most Expensive Beds In The World are featured on their own Page. Here at SPLURGE CENTRAL, We are smitten with:

#1 Baldacchino Supreme Bed ~ Price: $6.3 million

#2 Magnetic Floating Bed ~ Price: $1.6 million (what I call the non-bed. When you view its Image you will see why. Show me a Pillow and I’m half-way there).

#3 Jado Steel Style Gold Bed ~ Price: $676,550 (in Gold, mind you).

#4 Parnian Furniture Bed ~ Price: $210,000

#7 Cosmovoide Bed ~ Price: $60,000

A special thank you to Emil Anton, a Web-Entrepreneur with over 4 years of Experience in the Digital Luxury Industry, Founder of some of the most visited Online Properties, Event Speaker, LifeStyle Enthusiast!

You’re able to take it from here for the next Query for tomorrow that may be:

What are the most expensive Bed Linens in the World/

But, of course, in our Heart of Hearts, We certainly know the Best Part of THE BED is who you are bedding down with. That’s a SPLURGE that Money won’t or can’t buy (but it comes awfully close).

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #141 for Sunday, November 9, 2014 is again rooted in Friday's Palacio Blog and still further delves into The Realm of SPLURGING when Money is (hardly) an Issue.

The AP: Asking Price for this luxurious Beverly Hills Home is: $195,000,000. What continued to pique our Attention here at SPLURGE CENTRAL is the number of Bathrooms in this Home. 23 is that Numeral. According to the 53,000 Square Feet that the Palace-Place covers, they must have deducted that 23 Bathrooms would be sufficient for 23 People needing those Facilities. However, when We at SPLURGE CENTRAL compute ‘The Math,’ if Two (2) People were nesting in each of the 12 Bedrooms, then you’d think that each Person should have their own Bathroom. Someone is missing out. That’s Tragic. I take it $195,000,000 doesn’t buy as much as it used to.

Of course with that FUN closing One Line Zinger on the above Opening Paragraph, We plan to go much farther and discover:

What are the Top Ten most expensive Bathrooms in the World?

Evidently, 23 of them should be in this Home of all Homes, Palace of all Palaces – Palacio if you like the European Take on IT all and there are lots to Take-In.

And, once again, We have googled our Way into some of the most incredibly luxurious Places on the Planet, that if it had not been for Google, none of us would be experiencing this Degree of Formal Decadence.

How pricey can these Bathrooms be? Picking our Favorite, We will also include the Price Tag, which, of course, is added to the Expense of instilling the Finest in this Abode and similar ones across our Granite Planet.

Our Findings show that:

One Marble Bathtub in this glamorous bathroom is $17 million.

One Bathroom has a Fireplace in its center. Apparently for the Times when the Hot Water is plugged up or in Times of Drought.

One ‘smart’ Bathroom even releases Scents. Hopefully, one of your 23 Housemates do not have Allergies.

The most expensive Bathroom (made entirely of Gold) is $2.3 million. Extravagantly expensive is not how I’d spend the allocated $2.3 million. After all has been said and done, the Bathroom still remains the Bathroom; not an Out-House. I could deal with a few Fog-Free Mirrors though or a Magic Mirror created to highlight the Lines of a Life lived past 60.

EXPLORING MORESO:

Entering these Bathrooms We find Toilets. The lowest priciest Toilet begins at $5,000, but the most handsome was the Dagobert commanding $14,000; the Moon River Art Toilet coming in at $750,000. However, the Earthliest of them all is entitled: Hang Fung Gold Toilet for $5,000,000, the Grandest Toilet of all Toilets. However, if you are planning any Intergalactic Trips, the International Space Station Toilet retails at $19,000,000. Why? That’s a good Question, but We all know the Answer, don’t we.

Installing a $5,000,000 Toilet in each of these 23 Bathrooms seems a bit ostentatious, doesn’t it. I guess $195,000,000 leaves your Spending Field wide open.

#NationalSplurgeDay’s #TheDailySplurge #142 for Monday, November 10, 2014 is a Template for how to conduct your Purchases on the Eve of a National and Political Holiday, such as Veterans Day (happening tomorrow) and Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. Any Number of Items need to be purchased at this Time, from authentic American Flags to Foodstuffs to Picnic Furniture that need to be updated as the new Event re-emerges. The Dynamics, of course, are left up to you, the Conscientious Consumer, but at times, a Good Splurge does the most good and is effective. Then, of course, the Day after the Event, many of these Commodities can be purchased for 50% - 75% off. We, at SPLURGE CENTRAL like that best because it means MORE BANG for your SPLURGE and the Extras can always be given to those less fortunate, verifying that Financial Transaction is a valuable Lesson the Younger Generation and/or your Children or GrandKids can quickly learn and live by.

#NationalSplurgeDay’s #TheDailySplurge #143 for Tuesday, November 11, 2014 - Veterans Day concerns a very well-publicized Divorce Case whereby the Woman, now a Divorcee received a $995,000,000 Settlement. Well, We all know what she can buy with that (for starters). Absolutely any and every THING she wants, for starters. What comes to mind is: That $195,000,000 Palacio Amore that We (at Splurge Central) discussed above for the last 3 Days' Entries of THE DAILY SPLURGE here. Add to that 'Take' a Set of Body Guards should be employed. Make them all half her former Husband's Age and extremely virile. Can you say: Chippendale Models in form and format? That will eat him up more than going shopping on Rodeo Drive for a few Weeks in a row.

#NationalSplurgeDay's #TheDailySplurge #144 for Wednesday, November 12, 2014 deals with what can happen when a SOTI: SPLURGE OF THE IMAGINATION enters your Playing Field. Such was the Case with ASK: The Queen of Splurge when she decided that SIR: 'Santa Is Retiring' would be a terrific Book - Stageplay - Movie Script and General Interest Social Media Post because Santa is, after all, the one who delivers. And, he delivers all those SPLURGES We (who believe in the Santarian Magic) will soon be receiving in a matter of some 44 Days as of December 25. Therefore, that Story is unfolding. SIR has been picked up by a Blog that made it into their Lead Story. The leading Talk Show Hosts who need material & comedy in their Segments are being informed. The Work is a Work-In-Progress and, of course, will offer up the 12 Months of Splurge in lieu of the 12 Days of Christmas. Santa said that would be alright. Since he is retiring, he's a bit flippant on Life at the North Pole and can you really blame our Jolly Old Friend?

#NationalSplurgeDay’s #TheDailySplurge #145 for Thursday, November 13, 2014 was inspired by a new Twitter Colleague of today, Steve Boucher, #The_Hashtag_King who has collected a Variety of the most splurgerrific Photos and Captions on his Page, definitely not for the weak of Heart, only for those who want to see what puts the Extraordinary into Daily Life for the über Riche.

OF SIGNIFICANCE: Just because something is expensive doesn’t mean it is tasteful and/or of pertinence or even liked (for that matter), especially to those with a discerning Eye. What grabbed my Attention Today, as THE QUEEN OF SPLURGE was a CupCake, but this was no ordinary CupCake. This CupCake was special. This CupCake engrained with Flour that was grown in the Queen’s Garden & Plates that are edged and ledged in Gold, Edible Gold, that is. Not 14-Karat but 24-Karat Gold. All for a mere Penance and Pittance of a King’s Ransom, this CupCake (which could be yours and which [I would guess] is edible, but not filling) costs a mere Mortgage Payment to an average Over-Achiever or Suburbanite of $1,223. This ambitious little CupCake Morselle was surrounded by Dollops of Chocolate, a Pair of Strawberries dipped in Liquid Gold & had a few Brittle Cookies rising proudly from its Icing.

A distant Relative to the Hostess CupCake, you could buy 611.5 at 50 cents apiece and feed the Downtrodden and Homeless with the Latter, if you make the Choice to serve instead of being served. Yet, it is still nice to dream. Some People count Sheep; others bake pricey high-end CupCakes that get posted on Twitter and Instagram. How’s that going to appear on their Tombstone? We are not discussing the Pizza here.

Does anyone know where the nearest CupCake Pawn Shop is? So much for Processed Baked Goods and Goodies. Here’s to Love and Golden Sprinkles and Fantasies. I wonder if they take VISA or MASTERCARD.

And above all else, as the Title of THE DAILY SPLURGE asks: What did the Rest of this Meal look like? Lettuce know…

NationalSplurgeDay’s #TheDailySplurge #146 for Friday, November 14, 2014 tells us how to prepare for your NEXT BIG SPLURGE. When Dates are examined We often associate certain Dates with certain Holidays. Such is the Custom here at SPLURE CENTRAL. Automatically on the 14^TH of each Month, it is noted as a Mini-Anniversary of one of the greatest Non-Koopersmithian Holidates ever created (again headed by a Mythological Creature, Cupid). This one, of course, is Valentine’s Day, created by St. Valentine in his Hope to spread a little Love around. Which he did. Which he did without any Stamps and Social Media Networks at work. Which is still being continued on to today and we are glad it is. In Three (3) Months Valentine’s Day will be here. A mere 24 Hour Period in which to slather and lather your Truly Beloved with Gifts, Cards, Perfume, Romantic Dinners out Candy, Jewelry and whatever will get the ‘Guy’ out of the Doghouse. By knowing what EVENT is on the Horizon, this makes for an easier Time in which to get a handle on that SPLURGE. Sloppy Splurges, of course, are better than NON-Splurges, but consider making a good Impression great.

NationalSplurgeDay’s #TheDailySplurge #147 for Saturday, November 15, 2014 known as the Ides of November is a significant Event to look forward to as it’s a Day derived from the Roman Calendar that marked the near- middle of the Month. This Assignment allows the Fruition of an Indication whereby re-examining your Splurges are in order. Those can either be toned them down; sped them up or re-ignited. This Period of Introspection, of course, lays in the Person’s own well-being and the Time of Season as Splurges in the Spring or Autumn will be greatly different from those taken in the Winter or the Summer.

NationalSplurgeDay’s #TheDailySplurge #148 for Sunday, November 16, 2014 takes place on the last Day that Francis Cardinal George (of Chicago) will host his Last Mass. His Job will be completed, one that was revered. One in which many will miss him in that capacity. He will retire due to Health Issues.

What does this have to do with SPLURGING? Everything. Depending on One’s State of their Health, Health is the leading determinant if a Person can carry on as he/she did prior to their Illness – Ailment or Disease. This Segment (aired on Chicago’s CBS with Jay Levine who interviewed the Cardinal) points the Spotlight on THE SPLURGE that guarantees your Good Health. Only you are responsible for that as it ensures a Lifetime of Optimal Health.

There are no Guarantees – as it’s a Bittersweet Life of Ups & Downs – as to secure a Healthy Disposition. Especially so, with the Way Ailments, Diseases, Afflictions and Diseases spread and embed. How Diseases have suddenly crept up on a person and afflicts that person will change their entire MO: Modus Operandi.

Some of this is brought about by an unhealthy Lifestyle. SPLURGING on Excesses (especially of Compounds as Illicit Drugs and Profuse Usage of Overconsumption of Alcohol and even Food leading to Obesity) leads to a riskier Lifestyle with Internal Diseases weakening down one’s Defenses.

Therefore, it’s hard for many, but DITCH THOSE ADDICTIONS. Ditch those Addictions and splurge on something healthier to replace it and/or take that MOE: MOMENT OF EXCESS and splurge on something much healthier, as direct that Effort/Monies to a Community Group that truly needs Outside Assistance. This, of course, is not a totally Catholic Mindset, but universal and all across every Religion, whether you are a Believer or not.

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #149 for Monday, November 17, 2014 focuses on the Word: GRAVY. That’s #Gravy in fluent Twitterese. In 10 Days from Today on November 27, 2014, the Event(ual) Holiday is THANKSGIVING when one of the favorite Condiments of all Americans celebrating is ‘Gravy’ – a seismic Sauce that is poured over then enhances whatever is beneath its flow. Gravy’s characteristics are much like a Koopersmithian #SPLURGE. Whatever that SPLURGE may be, it’s the Gravy that is the Excess. Not that We need it, but it tastes so good, in whatever form that you prefer it.

#NationalSplurgeDay's #TheDailySplurge #150 for Tuesday, November 18, 2014 marks the 20TH Year and 5th Month Anniversary of this HOLIDATE, meaning 245 Months ago the First Splurge occurred. Of course, it took me took months of R&D: Research& Development to perfect and launch the Event. The Formula I created was easy enough and has been promoted in the Series of Books/Articles/Blogs penned about this Incredible Event that far supersedes even the Economical Aspect that most Ignorant People think about when delving into the Essence of National Splurge Day ©1994. After all, its Name has changed with the times as things must.

Now with its accompanying Blog entitled: THE DAILY SPLURGE more News you can use about this Holiday is available as well as the BOOK that will be published in time for its 21st Year - that is now all contained in NSD's YOTS: Years Of The Splurges ©2010 that marks the 20th - 25TH years of this Entry into Calendrical Time, only 1 of 1900 HOLLIDATES I have created in 34 precise Categories since July 25, 1990.

And, yes that does mean 150 Days ago I launched the First Edition of this BLOG: THE DAILY SPLURGE. Try those Numbers for the Daily 3 Lottery and call me in the morning, IF you win. That extra dough is great for Holiday Shopping & Splurging.

#NationalSplurgeDay's #TheDailySplurge #151 for Wednesday, November 19, 2014 is the unveiling of ASK’s latest Creative Acronym, namely: SNAP: Splurge With A Plan.

HOW SNAP-ping IS DONE: Take that Time you would ordinarily SPLURGE Today and redirect it. TO: whatever ITEM you plan to SPLURGE on and donate that Period to Someone who needs your Assistance and Help. Splurging-With-A-Plan is a stellar Method to get in touch with your Generous Side, whether the Season is nearing Chanukah – Christmas – Kwanzaa or not. Being in your Element and appreciating what you have only makes you stronger. Being devoted and helping others in a Humanitarian Way is appreciated. And, in the End, both of you are Winners; something Money cannot buy.

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #152 for Thursday, November 20, 2014 promotes the Trendiest Ring that any Gal could ever want for Christmas. Even if she is not of the Christian Persuasion or Religion, this is OR: One Ring that says it all. A Sign of the Times, it is the HASHTAG RING – 24 solid gold ring with the Hashtag Symbol that is studded with Diamonds. Me? I’d want my encrusted and embedded in Emeralds or Chunks of Malachite since Green is more conducive to my Coloring, but who(m)ever designed this should get the ROTY: RING OF THE YEAR – awarded by We here at SPLURGE Central. If it holds true according to The Lyrics of ‘The 12 Days of Christmas’ that someone will be receiving 5 Golden Rings, so be it: This is theHautest and Hottest one ever made for the TheTechno Savvy of our Age and Era. Less us not forget that previously the Hashtag was the Pound Sign and The Tick Tack Toe Board. Evolution never stops.

National Splurge Day’s #TheDailySplurge #153 for Friday, November 21, 2014 marks the 6^TH Month Anniversary of this Edition of The Daily Splurge. Are there more Topics to be covered than the last 154 of them? Chances there are for this simple reason alone. People shop. People stop to shop. People drop when shopping. That means there are others out there ‘behind the scenes’ creating this backlog of things – items – stuff – possessions to buy by the Active Consumers who are compelled by this URGE TO SPLURGE. And, of course, that keeps the Economy going along strong, stronger than it has ever been. After all, if you don’t believe me, take a look at all the Social Media Networks in which people are touting and towing their ‘Brand.’

I drown in this.

You drown in this.

He drowns in this.

She drowns in this.

We drown in this.

They (even) drown in this.

However, that’s how Society perpetuates the Sales Cycle. And, of course, it makes for some mighty interesting reading at that. Therefore, #TheDailySplurge has a long and healthy future ahead of itself while National Splurge Days’ YOTS: YEARS OF THE SPLURGES commences through 2019, its 25^TH Year ABC: Anniversaries – Birthdays – Celebrations.

National Splurge Day’s TheDailySplurge #154 for Saturday, November 22, 2014 recounts a Surprise Splurge. When that Opportunity happens, a WOW Moment occurs like none other. Such as it was for me Today. Yes, even the QoS: Queen of Splurge has these Moments. It’s as if the Universe is bestowing a Gift on me (in my humble Case) at which time I wonder why I am so deserving.

HOW IT OCCURRED: While walking to my Destination early this Morning, on the Plot of Ground where I feed The Birds (as it’s cold out there and it is most difficult for them to find a Spec of Food), I found a $20 Bill. Some People don’t make $20. As the Creator of Lost Penny Day ©1994 in honor of my Favorite President, Abraham Lincoln, a Penny saved is a Penny earned. However, it takes 2000 Pennies to equate to a $20 Bill.

UPON ANALYSIS: That Bill can enhance many a Splurge, as many Splurge-on-Saturday, especially now that the Holiday Season is in full-gear. $20 is an Enhancement. Living in Chicago, $20 equates to 4.5 Rides on the CTA (Bus or Train Line). It’s 10 cheap Cups of Coffee; $20 is nearly a Half a Bag of Groceries. For Gamblers, $20 will buy 10 or 20 Lottery Tickets depending on what Game is played. Twenty-Dollars goes a l-o-n-g Ways. However, it went further if you lived during the 1920s, nearly 100 years ago when Money’s Value ranked higher.

NOW THE MATH BEGINS, aided by one of my Favorite Websites: DollarTimes.com

http://www.dollartimes.com/inflation/inflation.php?amount=100&year=1920

Its Inflation Calculator tells us that $20 in 1920 now has a Value of: $246.61

This takes into account:

Annual Inflation: 2.71%

Total Inflation: 1133.06%

IN OTHER WORDS: Looking at the Value of Money nearly 100 years, ago, $1 in 1920 is $12.33 in 2014. Food For Thought means Money makes the World go round and does increase your Chances of a Greater Splurge. Nevertheless, for most of us, a Find like this puts a Smile on our Face and ‘lightens the Load.’

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #155 for Sunday, November 23, 2014 is the Field Museum’s Spookiest Exhibit yet…and Halloween is past, but it’s never forgotten. Voodoo seems to cease us and make us wonder. As Outsider Art it has a Spiritual Vein enwrapped in a very early Tribality.

This was the Observation made by ASK: The Queen of Splurge & Creator of this 20 year old Holidate that she spotted while riding on a CTA Elevated Train Car #2787 yesterday, November 22. The Field Museum’s latest Curated Show spotlights Voodoo in Haiti via a Series of dynamic Posters that are designed to captivate Commuters and Riders so they will make a Visit. In this case, this is a way others can address the SPLURGE CONCEPT, by taking the SPLURGE you would do and give it or pass it along to others.

One of the Posters in the train showed Zazi Maza Wongol, the Spirit of the Forest. You are to thank him when you find the perfect Holiday Tree. Furthermore, he may also help those needing a Chanukah Bush. Apparently, Zazi was not around when that deadly Earthquake struck on January 12, 2010, leaving the Island, devasted - much which is still seen.

Another Poster that caught ASK’s Attention was that of a Skeletal Man, standing vertically adorned in Sequins. Sequins, mind you, something that only ‘The Glamourous’ would wear on a Night Out.

Is this to say that a SUNDAY SPLURGE to shop for Sequins is in order for Today, as We near the festive Holiday Season? For some, it just may be. For others, it’s a Trip to Chicago’s Field Museum to see how Diversity and Cultures play such a significant Part in how We splurge, IF We are able to because when it comes to Poverty, 77% of the Residents of Haiti live and survive on less than $2 a Day.

National Splurge Day’s #The Daily Splurge #156 for Monday, November 24, 2014 is an ASKian Quote:

“The Thriftier you are, the more you can spend on National Splurge Day’s latest Spinoff called DAYS OF THE SPLURGE(s) ©2014 that occurs on the 18^TH of each Month, as the Original National Splurge Day ©1994 kicked in on June 18. True to form(at), DOTS coincides and perpetuates the Ideology behind this Holidate as set forth by ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith, The Queen of Splurge and Creator/Founder of National Splurge Day & The Daily Splurge.”

As a Prime Example to illustrate how this works (effectively and for the most), the most convenient SPLURGE to make that saves Time & Money both is to:

Drink Your Coffee At Home ®.

The DYCAH Affect works by this Formula:

There are 365 Days in a Year (not including Leap Year). If a Person spends $2 for a Cup of Coffee (and most times that Cup costs much more as well as the Time it takes to stop, pay the Parking Meter and run in for that Cup), the Total Expense is $730 a Year. This is an extremely Low-End Figure.

FOLGERS TO THE RESCUE:

Now, examine a Can of Coffee (1 lb. and 11.8 oz.) that makes up to 240 (6 Fluid Ounce Cups) of Coffee. A Container of this Proportion is often on Sale for $7.00 at most Major Food Outlets and Discount Stores. Therefore, the Price of your Morning Coffee is 2.91666666667 Cents (or roughly 3 Cents) per Cup, compared to $2 or more if purchased at a Café.

Then, multiply (your Savings of) $1.97 X 365 (Days in the Year) and your Savings is now: $719.05.

Within the Course of that Year, possibly 10 Cannisters of Coffee will be purchased dependent on how much of The Brew is consumed. Subtract $70 for the Total Costs of the Blend which leads to:

$649.05

It’s assumed you have a Cup in order to drink from. Add in Creams, Sugar, Sweeteners in for an additional $100 that equates now to:

$546.05

$546.05 is a tremendous Savings! Some People (especially those in Third World Countries who make less than $2 a Day) will buy many additional Splurges, but that again is yet another Edition of THE DAILY SPLURGE. OR you can donate that $546.05 to a Needy Cause.

“Splurge on to others as you’d want others to splurge on to you’ is an imperative of NSD.”

#Saving_To_Splurge is a Valuable Method in which to train Children that Spending should be viewed as a Responsibility, not as something frivolous. The Money Tree does not always bloom and preparing for a SPLURGE takes Thinking before that Time and Money are utilized to the Best of all Means.

National Splurge Day’s #The Daily Splurge #157 for Tuesday, November 25, 2014 (which means it is only 1 Month until Christmas and a Full Day off for many People) focuses on the Chief Shortcut to Splurging. This is one that has made the Idea of a Convenience ever more so ‘convenient’ for every Industry – Person – Product – Brand out there. With the Countdown to one of the Biggest Splurges in only 30 Days – a few Short Weeks, taking Advantage of every Moment & Second counts. Therefore, what should wise and smart Shoppers and Splurgers to do? That Shortcut, according to ASK: The Creator/Founder/Originator & Owner of National Splurge Day (aka: The Queen of Splurge) is to sit back and let your Fingers do THE SHOPPING. The Internet is there when you want to shop; wherever you want to shop without even leaving your Home. No more plowing thru huge snow drifts to free the Car. No more standing in rain or snow for the Train or Bus to come. No more heavy lifting. Merely shop online. And ‘dropping’ due to Shopping never needs to occur again because you are CONSERVING Energy that can be used in better ways. Just don’t neglect to pay your Monthly Service Fee.

***

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #158 for Wednesday, November 26, 2014 is quite simple. Calendar wise, it is the Day before Thanksgiving, commonly known as Thanksgiving Eve. It’s 2 Days before Black Friday. It’s 4 Days before Cyber-Monday and 5 Days prior to Maxed-Out Credit Card Tuesday. Therefore, when Shopping meets Splurging, you know what happens there. Scores of Retailers in every Industry (ever ever created) are very, very happy! Very, very happy (that is) until December 26! Therefore, make your Purchases smart: Splurge on to others as you’d like others to splurge on to you.

***

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #159 for Thursday, November 27, 2014 entails a Thought about Thanksgiving and what it means in the Real Life of People Today. The main Reason American Citizens are allowed to splurge as We do with the tremendous of Selections in every Category and Industry possible (not found everywhere in the world) is that this Privilege was given to us by our Forefathers hundreds of years ago. They risked their Lives in order that We have that Opportunity, plus more. Therefore, pay them the Respect they deserve and take the Day off, completely. Lord knows you’ll have the next month to SHOP TIL YOU DROP and some of you just may do that.

***

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #160 for Friday, November 28, 2014 is known in the Retailed Merchandising World as ‘Black Friday.’ Although it’s controversial as to when shopping for Christmas should begin: Whether it’s in September or after the Big Meal is eaten on Thanksgiving; the Friday after Thanksgiving at 3 AM you must admit this undertaking in the name of Good Time Religion has become one huge Splurge, the Splurge that is felt around the World, we could say. And, it affects not only Christians, but all others who see this now as a CASH COW. That’s why we at SPLURGE CENTRAL deem National Splurge Day ©1994, 20 years old as 2014 as the 3^RD Largest Event in which to spend-yourself-silly after Black Friday when things can get out of hand and do. Will Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Maxed-Out Credit Card Tuesday become obsolete since online is so popular? Will we be able to shop all year long for Christmas? I think we (in Western Countries) do just that already.

***

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #161 for Saturday, November 29, 2014 emerges us into the Biggest Buy-A-thon of the Year, a Year riddled with too much Violence, leading to irreparable Sorrow. Therefore, although 99% of THE PEOPLE are into the highly festive Holidays and Hoopla, it is hoped they will slow down and look at those who have suffered unbearably this Year and have even made the ultimate Sacrifice:

have died for their Country fighting abroad

and/or

have died on the Streets of America, killed unjustifiably.

The Bottom Line is that there is too much bloodshed, fear and high anxiety that has grown out-of-control.

For those of our Brothers and Sisters; Mothers and Fathers; Aunts and Uncles; Neighbors and Friends, We hope that a Movement founded by ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith called: #Cancel_Christmas that is making its Way through the Chambers of Social Media Networks will take hold.

These People (that we know) whose Lives have been snuffed out and taken long before they were grew old (a nice Time in which to check-out) are no longer able to do the Action Activities you are doing Today – of which one is having the Ability to Shop-Spend-Splurge during Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, #Saturation_Sunday ©2014, Cyber Monday and Maxed-Out Credit Card Tuesday. With so much of our Attention aimed at Shopping (instead of being grateful and appreciative), it’s time to get our Heads and Hearts screwed on the Right way. To parallel the #Cancel_Christmas Campaign, ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith (Creator of National Splurge Day ©1994 now in its 20^TH Year) is writing the Book/Movie Script for her thematic #Santa_Is_Retiring ©2014, a seriously Tragi-Comedic Take at what happens when Man becomes his own worst Enemy.

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #162 for Sunday, November 30, 2014 was an Inspiration received from watching CBS Sunday with Charles Osgood and Bill Geist (amongst other Great Journalists) whose Segment was indeed the tastiest one aired all Week long on any of the major and minor Television Networks.

In Dessertdom, there are Two Categories:

Those who eat Cake and those who eat Pies.

Yes, that’s comparable to living in the 1960s when Pop Culture began its Climb. You either liked The Beatles or The Rolling Stones. We all seem to gravitate to something our personalities prefer. That, though, is yet another Segment.

Cake vs. Pie. Pie vs. Cake.

And, then: There are PIES, like you have never seen the Likes of. If these Pies were given their own FACEBOOK Page, they’d have more likes than the Kardashian Sisters.

LOW AND BEHOLD: It was Bill’s Assignment to explore a tiny town in New Mexico, simply called PIE TOWN that has two PIE SHOPS. They alternate being open. With Pumpkin Pie being the Pie-of-Choice for this Thanksgiving Weekend, the Segment fit in perfectly with feasting. The week previously on CBS Sunday was their Food Issue. Broadcasting doesn’t get any tastier than this. No wonder there are so many Food Shows. Think about it. Next up will be one called the

PIE-d PI-p-E-r.

Don’t mind me, there’s something fun and playful and creatively inventing when you’re fortified up on PIE.

PiePuns and #Pie_Puns ran rampant, of course. Cathy Napp and her Mother visited the Area 20 years ago and her Mother was darn tooting’ and determined to keep The Pie Restaurant going. That’s History as now, People hankering for PIE (as that’s all they sell) come from 300 miles away and as far as Canada on Motorcycles for the ex-P-er-I-enc-E. Add in the vast, global Coverage CBS is lending to her business and you know darn well, Starbucks and McDonalds will be opening up shop next. Let’s hope not. There’s something mighty awesome about not having concrete and steel anywhere in the fore-SEE-able distance. Just being alone with your PIE…that’s good enough for me.

The only Word I can think of to mark this delicious Dessert that can be made out of so many different Fruits (for starters) is:

Hap-PIE.

That’s #hap-PIE in full Twitterese.

WHICH REMINDS ME OF MY OWN PIE STORY: Back in the 1990s when I was a Taste Tester for ‘Nobody does it like Sarah Lee’ in Chicago on North Halsted, I was called in to taste-test or sample 5 Pies. Yes, my tongue is insured for $1,000,000 back in ‘the day.’

Because I was on 1 of my Crazy Diets, I was famished and besides I biked to this Appointment some 5 miles. I had an appetite built up. Therefore, via my reasoning: Pie would not really show on my Hips – or would it? I automatically thought that through the Hidden Passageway where a Pate was pushed through, it would be a spoonful of Pie. But it wasn’t. Low and behold, the Bounty was a full Slice of Pie, generous at that. Five (5) full Slices of Pie were the Assignment for the day.

For those who diet or die, that’s more than half a pie – probably some 4000 calories. But I had an excuse. I was determining what Pie Flavors would be best. So I enjoyed. To me, they were all Winners, as the PIE-o-Neer Café proved to us today.

From what I would guess, Bill’s inundated with Offers to be his Assistant when asked to sample another Dessert. Especially now with Christmas, Chanukah and Kwanzaa on the Horizon, FOOD is on every one’s Menu(s) and Palate(s).

Could the incomparable Eli’s Cheesecakes of Chicago be next?

6701 W Forest Preserve Drive - Chicago, Illinois 60634 USA
773-205-3800

http://www.elicheesecake.com/

@ElisCheesecake

@MarcSchulmanChi

With a long, rich and satisfying history, fan base, flavors (that are off-the-PIE-charts, we could say) and community service (as Eli’s are most hospitable from giving to the Homeless Shelters to being the Chief Dessert at Galas), I’m guessing they may be. If so, you read it here first.

WHICH REMINDS ME AGAIN OF ANOTHER ONE OF MY OWN PIE STORIES. Skyline Newspaper and Leah Zeldes, the Food Editor were recruiting Apple Pie Recipes from their readership in conjunction with a Lettuce Entertainment Restaurants’ Fall Event circa 1998. For those interested in submitting, a Proposal needed to be presented that would get the Judges’ Eye as well as the Recipe. Due to my Story Line, Creative Slant and ‘Apple Pie Font’ I became one of the Contestants at the Mighty Nice Grill, one of their Restaurants in the Water Tower Place in the Heart of Michigan Avenue. If anything is going to make you feel like Julia Child, it will be an Event like this. Although I didn’t place, the Competition was a gr-EAT Learning Experience. Later, I remember Leah (now one of my Facebook Friends) approaching me and commenting that she liked the Fact I used more than two opposing types of Apples in my Pie. If it ‘applies,’ why not.

I didn’t think I would have any Pie Flashbacks today. That certainly was not on my Schedule. The industriousness of People opening up a Pie Place in the Middle of a deserted Area to showcase a Dessert (as PIE) demos the Tenacity and Intensity of the American Spirit where the American Dream and Apple Pie (as well as so many more Varieties) do come true. And with a Little Luck will get Attention from a major Network.

AND, above all else, it’s pretty amazing how One Dessert can develop into a Blog of its own. Hail-Hail, PIE. Being deemed as:

‘America’s Premier Eventologist’ by Gene Koprowski of Insight Magazine in August of 1997

‘The Premier Eventologist in the History of the World’ by Eric Zorn of the Chicago Tribune in January of 2001

I decree that November 30 and every Month thereafter (except February, of course) is:

Pick-a-Pie or order a Dozen from Pie Town, New Mexico – in the Heart of Bill Geist Country to indulge.

After all, isn’t the Root Word of P-rem-IE-r – PIE?

There goes the Diet. Not necessarily. Tarts are small Pies and Moderation is key. At 62 you figure out what and what your Body can’t stand. Luckily, there’s a PIE to fit each of our Zodiac Signs as well.

As they say…

OK…as I say: Now you can have your Pie and eat it, too! I do have One Quick Question to ask Bill and that is:

What did you weigh before you visited the Pie Cafes in Pie Town?

Now, as the Day edges on, you have to admit. It’s nice to keep to a Theme. I think I’ll have a Pizza Pie for Dinner and then a Chicken Pot Pie for Monday’s Lunch. I wonder what Pie Flavors would best complement those Entrees? Betcha Bill has a Segment for that coming up soon. Now, thanks to Bill Geist, We can have our Pie(s) and eat them, too!

RESEARCH: Curious as I always am, I was shocked and disappointed to find that one of the Pie Cafes is closed until March 1, 2015 for Restructuring and the Winter Season. I never thought New Mexico got that cold…I may have been wrong. But Pie Town does exist and is online.

Pie Town is an unincorporated community and census-designated place located along U.S. Highway 60 in Catron County, New Mexico, United States. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 186.

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #163 for Monday, December 1, 2014 shows that there is a Thin Line between Splurging & Splicing. Visiting a Friend who edits Film, I received a Lesson in what it takes to edit Film, something I never had seen before. Although it’s better to accumulate and splurge on a lot of Material, at the end of the Story/Movie or Day, there’s only so much that’s relevant that anyone wants to concern themselves with. On the Cutting Floor is how Words & Scenes both end up; eventually, but in the Meantime, each Time Frame is an Indicator of what happened that preserves itself for the ‘Next Big Splurge’ and how it will be spliced and remembered in your Mind in the years ahead – if it is at all. Deemed as mighty heavy duty thinking for the First of December, #Cyber_Monday when many Online Shoppers splurge their Way into Debt, but it’s their Prerogative. Outsplurging the next Guy or Gal is sometimes an addicting Way to find Acceptance.

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #164 for Tuesday, December 2, 2014 is perhaps the most wonderful SPLURGE DAY of the Month as its TOYSday and now that Christmas will be here in 23 days, there’s no time like the PRESENT than to buy your PRESENTS in the Presence of some of the major TOY Companies in the world. Not only are they online where you can shop easily for them, but if you really want to pull a SPLURGE-O-RAMA (a hefty SPLURGE) costing $100,000 or more, then it’s time to board a private jet and go anywhere you wish to go to buy those Toys, Whistles and Bells. I need not say anymore…after reading 163 of these DAILY SPLURGES, I’m sure you know how I feel about having my TOYS and playing with them, too (or more)

THE MODUS OPERANDI: Check back here every Day by 1 PM CST to see what the SPLURGE OF THE DAY is – all guaranteed not to disappoint. That Splurge will also be tweeted and facebooked out as well as placed on ASK’s LinkedIn Account. After all, a SPLURGE a Day keeps Boredom at bay; kickstarts the Economy and gives tens of thousands of companies something grand and exciting to sell as well as reporters/journalists something to write about. Winning and Splurging go hand in hand,” ASK reminds us, “One Day at a time.”

As a Creative Writer who has reported on the Dynamics of SPLURGING since 1994, ASK has formulated Lists of Splurges that range from $5 to $555,000,000. However, today, with the Shift in Economics, Unemployment and Spirituality gaining grounds never before imagined, Splurging is no longer limited or placed in a materialistic bracket. It can be transformed into a Spiritual State of Mind, whereby Splurging via Volunteering is a very doable; permitted and encouraged.

For major Shops, Industries and Stores, buying a Product is of utmost importance to their bottom line. Next to Christmas and Black Friday, ASK’s NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY is ranked the 3^rd largest Retail Merchandising Event in the marketplace. And, rightly so as its 20 years in Existence has proven.

FOR THE AVID MARKETER AT HEART: Yes, if you want your Product(s) mentioned here (and/or even on a preferred Date of your choosing) and/or for the entire year with its description; website; Twitter; Facebook; other social media networks, etc., the cost is:

$365 a Year – that’s $1 a Day, prepaid.

Now, that’s the most reasonable Splurge you can or could ever make and take.

Initially, contact ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith at:

Adrienne.Sioux.Koopersmith@gmail.com

to set up a time to talk. Do not forget, because NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY ©1994 went viral and with ASK’s meteoric Talent of creating over 1,900 Holidates, the Spotlight is always on what she is creating next.

WANT AN EVENT ALL YOUR OWN? This allows your own Brand to have its own Event and/or listing here. Creation of your own HOLIDATE (as Koopersmith has termed them) starts at $1,000 (which includes 3 Social Media Networking posts a Day for the 3 months prior to your Event and 1 month thereafter as follow-up as well as a Certificate of Eventological Authenticity. Yes, it’s similar to having your name in the Star Registry.

GETTING MORE MILEAGE STILL:

This Blog Listing will then be published as a Book after Sunday, June 21, 2015, marking its first year of being online; thus continuing The HOLIDATE and connecting more people still. For those of you not knowing:

ASK (in celebration) of this Date has proclaimed 2014-2019, the 20^TH – 25^TH ABC: Anniversaries – Birthdays – Celebrations of NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY(S) as the YOTS: Years Of The Splurge ©2010 that has been in its birthing state since the Holidate went viral in June of 2010 when premiering in Fast Company’s 100 of the Most Creative People in Business Issue. That’s fanfare you can’t buy for $1 a day! But ASK is offering this Deal-of-A-Steal anyway. It’s the Eventological thing to do taken from her Writings called:

Eventology

The Art of Event-Making

That ignited this entire new Literary Genre that she introduced to The World on July 25, 1990 at 9:45 PM CST.
