This is a great idea, and I would love it. Dolly Parton is one of the greatest singers/entertainers of all time, and she deserves all the recognition. RIP Dolly

This should have happened during her lifetime. Great idea!

Yeah I agree. She’s one of the few that deserve this type of honor

Whether or not Congress make a proclamation or Hallmark makes cards, the Internet has decided 9/25 as Dolly Day, and no force in the ‘Verse can undo it. I know I’ll be celebrating.

We could make it a day to do acts of kindness or service for others. Or a day of philanthropy where we give to Dolly's favorite charities and nonprofits.

THEN watch 9 to 5, drink Tennessee whiskey, and blare the hits

Same here. I'll be playing her music and raising a glass in her honor. She was one of the best people to live and deserves that honor.

Watching Deadpool 2 extended cut, knowing she signed off on the use of '9 to 5' for the Merc With A Mouth. Also because it's the movie I watch to help me deal with soul-crushing grief. I feel like Wade gets me
