National Chicken Lady Day celebrates Dr. Marthenia "Tina" Dupree, who is known as "The Chicken Lady". For twelve years she worked at one of the largest chicken restaurants in the world as their Director of Community Relations and Training. Because of her community involvement and dedication to raising educational standards, she was invited to meet with President Bush in 2001, in the Oval Office. Although President Bush did not declare it "National Chicken Lady Day", Dupree's efforts to advocate for education helped to bring about the day.

So...you have all that candy from Trick-or-Treating or the half price monday, here's how long you can expect it to stay good for.
-- Chocolate. Eight to 10 months if stored in a cool, dark, and dry place. Dark chocolate can last longer closer to 2 years.
-- Hard candy. Stuff like lollipops and butterscotch candies last about a year in their package. As hard candy gets stale, it will become sticky, and the texture will feel grainy.
-- Caramel. About six to nine months if packaged properly. After that, it will get stale and hard.
-- Candy corn. About nine months before it hardens from staleness.
-- Jellied candies. They last about a year unopened.
-- Gum. Six to nine months.

Have you ever argued over the thermostat, lost that fight and then secretly changed it to the temperature you wanted anyway? 60% of people in a new poll said they've done that before.
Half of people claim to have full control over where they set their thermostat. So most of those are probably people who live alone.
So what's your ideal temperature? No one in the survey said above 74 degrees. So pretty much everyone agrees that's the max. 50% said somewhere between 70 and 73, and 40% said 69 degrees or cooler.
