October 6th - It was on this day in history in 1983 that Islander’s Mike Bossy scored his 25th career hat trick.  A hat trick is when a player scores three goals in a game. Some people argue that it must be three goals in a row. I think that’s asking a little much. Anyway, there is usually a delay in the game when a hat trick occurs because ANY fan wearing a hat in the arena throws it on the ice…I think it’s magical…you wouldn’t understand unless you were a hardcore hockey fan. But if you are, then I’ve got some coupons that’ll have you screamin’ “Hooooooooly Mackinoff!” Head over to Shop.NHL.com for the greatest fan gear. Discover jerseys, photos, or posters of your favorite players in action and more. Use Shop.NHL.com coupons for 15% off your entire order!  

1991 - Elizabeth Taylor Weds for the 8th Time - Well, there isn’t any kind of hat trick for this record I’m afraid. I can’t help but wonder what she does with all the wedding dresses. I mean, wedding dresses have a lot of material; they can take up a whole closet on their own. And the rings. Does she have a jewelry box for regular jewelry and a separate one for previous engagement rings and wedding bands? This is the stuff I think about all day? If you’re a newly wed, or will be soon, don’t let this HUGE number scare you…unless you’re marrying Elizabeth Taylor! Otherwise, take that next step with the one you love and feel confident about it. If you’re looking for gorgeous wedding bands for less, then head over to Diamond.com for a wide array of choices you’ll both love. And our wedding gift to you is free Diamond.com coupons that get you a whopping 20% off your purchase!

1962 - Johnny Carson Named Host of The Tonight Show - I dunno about you, but I can never stay up late enough to watch these shows. I pick up a book and intend to read it before bed and fall asleep before I even get through the first paragraph.

Not only was it extremely entertaining, but it got me to take my daily dose of vitamins. Did your parents have Flintstone vitamins too? I used to loooove them.

1982 - First Broadcast of Cheers on NBC-TV - This show was great! Especially when Woody would be behind the counter. Poor guy didn’t always catch on when people were pulling his leg; jokes would go right over his head. But my favorite part of this show was the theme song…”You wanna go where everybody knows your name…” It’s true though, when someone uses your name when they’re talking to you, it feels more personal.

September 26th - It was on this day in history in 1962 that the TV comedy The Beverly Hillbillies premiered on CBS.  My favorite character was Daisy May, aka Granny. Maybe I like her so much because she reminds me of my grandmother.

1969 - Beatles Release Abbey Road - This was the eleventh album produced by the Beatles. The album before this one (Get Black) wasn’t very successful as the Beatles tried something new with their music that fans didn’t respond to very well. Abbey Road went back to songs that identified more with their original sound and vibe. Hence, this album became a HUGE hit instantly as fans felt reunited with the band. If you want to unite with the Beatles again and enjoy the good-old days, here’s what I suggest you do: Create a shrine in your home with Beatles posters, vintage tickets, old-school prints and more. Then, turn the lights low, light some incense and pop in the Abbey Road album. Sit back, close your eyes and let your memory take you back…to great times. Here’s where you’ll find all the stuff I mentioned on sale:

• Wolfgangs Vault - use Wolfgangs Vault coupons for 10% off posters, prints, vintage tickets & more
• Sony Style - use Sony Style coupons for a discount on the Abbey Road album by the Beatles

To be able to say that you took a ride around the world on a bike, well, you’re a superhero in my books.  She must have used more than one bike though.

Jason Alexander, 49 - Remember hyperactive, paranoid George Castanza from Seinfeld? He was great! But poor George was always a little insecure about his hair loss. There were many episodes when he’d wear a hat he thought looked cool, but that Elaine was fast to laugh at. Or he’d wear a wig with confidence, only to have Elaine rip it off his head and toss it out a window when she thought George was becoming too confident. And then there were other episodes when he’s try new creams that…again…Elaine would tell him smelled awful. Poor George! There are shampoos that help stimulate new hair growth in men and women. They don’t make your nose wrinkle with distaste, but actually have pleasant scents. You can find such shampoos and conditioners at Beauty.com for less.
