The Great Chicago Fire #143 transforms National Splurge Day ©1994 into a Day of Global Volunteerism per ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith, America's Premier Eventologist.

The following 3 Paragraph Entry into Koopersmithin'  is derived from The Daily Splurge, part and parcel of National Splurge Day, one of ASK's top Ten Holidates:

#NationalSplurgeDay’s #TheDailySplurge #111 for Friday, October 10, 2014 is a local regionalized SPLURGE Retrospection that transports us back to Tuesday, October 10, 1871 when:  THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE burned out-of-control for two long  days from Sunday, October 8 to Tuesday, October 10, after, supposedly Mrs. O’Leary’s Cow kicked over a Lantern that started the Blaze.  

After a Fire, there isn’t much to SPLURGE about and over, but a Time overtakes the remaining Occupants when The Rebuilding & Reconstruction must begin.  That Process happened, of course, with the endless and diligent Help  of tens of thousands of People (from both near and afar and rest assured We were not wired or plugged in as We are now), as that Process and Progress continues to work today, making Chicago a Leader in Global Politics on every Forefront  that includes:   

The Arts – Science – Technology – Economy – Food – Business –  Travel and  Education.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT IF YOU SO WISH TO DO:

For those of you feeling generous, Today is the Day to perform  Outreach Activities in your Community in Memory of THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE. Destruction of Public Property and  Homelessness is the Aftermath of a random Fire.  Give to a local Shelter. Volunteer.  Feed a Hungry Person or  a Beggar on the Street today.  What you spend on your Daily Splurge can be siphoned into a greater Good and transform.  And, that’s good to do if you ask us at SPLURGE CENTRAL.

National Splurge Day’s The Daily Splurge #108 for Monday, October 6, 2014 directs us towards Contemplation. That’s Contemplation, not Contempt, although that might be a likely Word to use for this historical Fact that is:

On Thursday, October 6, 1949 (65 years ago), Iva Toguri D’Aquino  (also known as: Tokyo Rose, the pro-Japanese Wartime Broadcaster) was convicted of Treason and sentenced to 10 years in prison with a $10,000 Fine.  In those earlier days, $10,000 went a longer ways – further than it does today.  Imagine if Iva had received that Money instead to spend for NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY, had NATIONAL SPLURGE DAY been around back then.  Considering I was not born till Saturday August 9, 1952 and I didn’t create NSD till 1994, that would have been immaterial to the Case as those Legal Beagles would tell us.  However,    

 

Check out:   http://www.dollartimes.com/calculators/inflation.htm

Only because:  A Dollar just ain't what it used to be.

DollarTimes.com’s Inflation Calculator tells its Readers & Visitors the relative buying power of a Buck in the USA between any 2 years from 1914-2014.  By clicking in the designated years, we find that:

 

$1.00 in 1949 had the same buying power as $9.67 in 2014.

Annual inflation over this period was 3.55%.

 

Therefore, a Dollar saved is a Dollar earned and Splurging back in the mid-1900s (before Fast Food Chains, High Technology & all things robotized) kicked in covers a vast Spectrum of Splurge that is interesting to ponder and wonder about. 

 

IF YOU WISH TO SEND KUDOS:  You may contact this amazing Website at:  http://www.dollartimes.com/contact.htm

I firmly believe a Website as this will encourage Children to be interested in Economy and Math, as it helps to train them at an early age as to what is going on and how numbers play a great role in our lives.  My other favorite Website is:  www.timeanddate.com which adds character and a daily charm to writers when 'dating' their Pieces.

Watching What Whoopi Wears From The Knee Down. What will Whoopi (Goldberg) wear next? The Shoe Splurge gone wild!

***

#NationalSplurgeDay’s The Daily Splurge #105 for Friday, October 3, 2014 is concerned with the Question of:  Can a SPLURGE takes over your Life? The Answer emanating from SPLURGE CENTRAL is:  Yes! And on many different Fronts.  That can and does happen more often than you think.  It’s happened to me.

Now, We will research another Question: 

Q:  Are Shoes a leading SPLURGE Product?

To take this to a Personal Level, my Daily SPLURGE is reporting and relaying what The Daily Splurge is, can be, should be and ultimately will go into History ‘as.’  SPLURGING is highly dependent on you and your likes/dislikes.  But I’ not the only one.  As much as We Humans think We are extraordinarily special, We are not…really…at all, for that matter.

 

There are only so many Objects to SPLURGE on, about and over and for the most part, those Manufacturers know they are IN DEMAND.  That’s a Nice Place to be on the Marketing & Merchandising Higherarchy, which is spelled (or respelled) that Way for the most obvious of definitive Reasons.  One of the Items Womankind demands in her Creature Comforts (except for certain Aboriginal Tribes around the World who are shoeless that you may easily google for the particulars) is a comfortable Pair of Shoes.  Sometimes, we will even forfeit the ‘Comfort Factor’ to look oh-so extremely stylish.    

Women stuff their Footies into High-Heeled Stilettos at all times of the Day with these stunning Styles found online, on the pristine Fashion Pages and at our (very) Feet.

 

“We cannot leave the house without wearing Shoes.  They are just that important in the Planning of our Day.  That’s a complete Understatement.”

Quote of ASK: Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith

But who can We emulate when it comes to finding the right Shoe(s) for us?  You cannot help but watch what the Stars and Celebrities are wearing as they serve as Role Models.  One of my Faves for Decades is the incomparable Whoopi Goldberg.

 

“Why?” you may ask.   Because Whoopi goes out of her Way. She cares.  She feels.  By the same token she is funnier than ____ and funny makes us laugh.  We remember those who make us laugh.  It’s a carnal thing, inherent in Man.   Ms. Goldberg helped me out for my Project: Helping Hand ©1991 that was Part and Parcel of my Cartoonists Against Crime Crusade ©1991 and drew a Hand (hers, of course) over 20 years ago.  Eventologists do not forget kind Gestures.    

 

Furthermore, Ms. G. is a Total Individual with her own unique Flair  and she lets no one else dictate what she wears, thinks or does.  Within reason, of course and within the law.  “Now on Facebook, Whoopi shares with her 866,287+ Fanbase, the Shoes she’s wearing on THE VIEW, via a Daily Photo that I label as:  From The Knee Down. 

 

BACK TO THE SPLURGE ASPECT: 

To further increase this Opportunity for all the Shoe Hobbyists and Lobbyists who are

4W: Watching What Whoopi Wears ©2014

From The Knee Down,

 

I’m proposing a Digitized Game every time we click onto Facebook where We Rate-A-Shoe Whoopi is wearing like this:

We type in the Dialog Box: 

 

Whoopi! If the Shoe is worthy of a 10 (the Highest Shoe Score you can score);

Whoe! If the Shoe is worthy of a 5 (the Medium Shoe Score you can score for a Shoe that is sort-of liked); and

Whoops! If the Shoe is unworthy of any Number, it will receive a 0 [zero], the lowest Shoe Score Grade almost hardly worth a Score). 

 

BESIDES THE ‘W’ ALLITERATION:

This will give Manufacturers an Inkling into what the Women want to be seen in.  ‘Whoopi Wears’ will  initiate the Start-up to design for the active Shoe Wearer whoever she is, whether she is on the Big Screen, TV Screen  (as Whoopi is) or behind a PC or Mac Screen, Shoe Screenings (as I am and most likely you are).  Going VIRAL,  this could become as popular as a Tupperware^® Party and/or Shoe-mongous^® Board Game.  Cards anyone? 

 

Yes, The Daily Splurge ©2014 has become a regular Feature now in my Life as National Splurge Day ©1994 is technically an international HOLIDATE and Phenomena on a multitude of Levels.  Inventing HOLIDATES like this just might help out our local and online Shoe Designers and Makers, lending a Helping Hand to Old Gepetto and the Newer Blood on the Proverbial Block. Let’s Step that one up…
