National Memo Day
Jot off some memo's to people today.  They are a little outdated with today's technology but I love a good memo.

National Waiter and Waitresses Day
Make sure you take the time to thank wait servers today, it's a hard job and sometimes the only choice some people have.
The salary of a waiter/waitress

Rapture Party Day
Oh dear. *smh*
I really have no words.
If you want to have some fun with this day may I recommend a viewing of one of the following rapture movies?
Oy.  Moving on...

I Need a Patch For That Day
Any kind of patch from fixing a leak to helping kick an addictive habit.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
