Celebrate Girl Friend's Day
Not quite like Valentine’s Day – this is about the girl friends. Two different words, referencing your friends. Not romantic entanglement, but friendly concourse and relaxation.
History of Girl Friend’s Day
Let us begin with what Girl Friend’s Day is – the day of the girl friend. A girl, well that definition is well and obvious for the most part. Occasional bending of that term may apply, but we all know what it means for each of us. A friend is a person to whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection. That doesn’t mean sexual relations, just relations. We all have relations, and a friend is one who has a close relationship with us, no matter the context, it is that relationship that details them as a friend.
On August 1, 2004, Mistress Susan created a special day just for girl friends to express gratitude to one another. It’s a great chance to take your girl friends to go to the park, to a Broadway play, out to eat at a restaurant opening, see an indie movie, or to an upscale spa, perhaps!

WORD OF THE DAY
obtrude
MEANING:verb tr.: To impose one’s ideas, opinions, etc.
verb intr.: To thrust forward or to intrude.
ETYMOLOGY:From Latin obtrudere (to thrust at), from ob- (against) + trudere (to push). Ultimately from the Indo-European root treud- (to squeeze), which also gave us extrude, intrude, threat, thrust, and abstruse. Earliest documented use: 1575.
USAGE:“I shall allow you neither to entangle yourself in an engagement, nor to embarrass my affianced wife by obtruding yourself upon her.”
Georgette Heyer; Bath Tangle; William Heinemann; 1955.
“Part of a pale-blue window obtrudes. But nothing disrupts the composition’s essential harmony.”

PICTURES OF THE DAY
Ada Flatman (1876–1952) was a British suffragette in the United Kingdom and the United States. She was sent to Holloway Prison after taking part in the "raid" on the Houses of Parliament in 1908, led by Marion Wallace Dunlop, Ada Wright and Katherine Douglas Smith, and a second wave by Una Dugdale. The following year she was employed by the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) to organise their activities in Liverpool, taking over from Mary Phillips. In July 1910, Flatman was a key speaker at one of the platforms in the 10,000 women rally at Hyde Park, London. She worked with Alice Stewart Ker, but it was Flatman who was trusted by Emmeline Pethick when Liverpool requested that they be allowed to open a WSPU shop. The shop was set up for her by Patricia Woodlock and became a success, raising substantial funds for the cause. Flatman organised the publicity surrounding the release of Woodlock, who had completed a prison term in Holloway. |
