For those of you who want to participate but don’t feel comfortable going without shoes, perhaps you can try a pair of these -
History 101: US President Andrew Johnson narrowly escaped being fired on May 26, 1868, when he survived an impeachment trial by one vote --
he was accused of "high crimes and misdemeanors." The House's primary charge against Johnson was with violation of the Tenure of Office Act, passed by Congress the previous year. Specifically, he had removed Edwin M. Stanton, the Secretary of War (whom the Tenure of Office Act was largely designed to protect), from office and replaced him with John McAllister Schofield.
Music History 101: On this date in 1994, a self described “King” married a rock and roll “Princess” in a secret ceremony in the Dominican Republic – the union lasted less than two years for – Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson.
Only two human beings on the planet have ever shared label billing with the Beatles. The first was Tony Sheridan, and only by virtue of the fact that long before they were popular, the Beatles had backed him up on several tracks.
The other is involved in today’s 101 number one song of the Day.
The second was an American keyboard player. It was totally unexpected. “It was something,” he said, “that I could have never asked for or no manager could negotiate, just something they felt for me.” Many people have been called the fifth Beatle, but if anyone truly deserves the title, it’s Billy Preston – and that brings us to the number one song on May 22, 1969 and today’s 101 number one song of the day – the Beatles and Billy Preston “Get Back”
Although American couples are finding time for simple gestures such as saying “I love you,” many are not enjoying candlelight dinners, vacations and romantic getaways they need to reconnect and rekindle their romance, according to a new MarketTools Zoomerang survey. Nearly half of respondents had not been on a vacation with just their partner within the past year, while more than half had not been out for a romantic dinner in six months or more. The survey found that couples 22-54 – prime years for working and raising children – are least likely to spring for a romantic date. However, couples are taking time for little things: In the last week, 87% of couples have said “I love you,” 81% held hands, 90% have hugged, and 68% have taken a walk together within the last month.
However, romantic dates and couples getaways appear to be lacking:
-
77% replied that it had been more than a month since they had been out to a candlelight dinner or other romantic date, while 22% admitted it had been over a year.
-
45% said it had been more than year – if ever – since they had been on vacation with just each other.
-
93% said it had been more than a month since they danced to “their song,” and 27% admitted they have never done so.
-
About 94% said they had not bought flowers for their significant other within the past month, and all respondents in the 18 to 24 age group said they have never bought flowers for their significant other.
-
-
46% said they had never made their partner breakfast in bed, while 25% reported it had been more than a year.
-
60% said it had been more than six months since they left a love note for their partner.
