People are wild, y’all. We meet each other, have conversations, pass like ships in the night, and yes, make assumptions about others we know hardly at all. Sometimes we assume correctly, sometimes not, but before you assume the person you’re speaking to is stupid, you might want to consider how that assumption might blow back...

Every job has its upsides and downsides, and even if you’ve found a career that you really love, there are bound to be aspects of the work that really aren’t the best (or aren’t your favorite). That goes for chefs, too, but you probably don’t consider their feelings when you choose a menu item and...

Over the course of our lives, most days go down pretty much like we expected them to. We wake up, we grab coffee, we work and talk to some people and love on our family, we go to bed and get ready to do it all over again. Sometimes, though, a coincidence so bizarre happens...

Kids are not everyone’s bag. That’s obvious, and why people are allowed to choose when and how many and whether they have children of their own. What happens, though, when someone leaves their child with you even though you have repeatedly told them that you are not interested in babysitting outside of true emergencies? This...

Marriage and relationships are hard, and when it comes to in-laws, they can sometimes make things even worse. And while our lives are complicated once we’re together, we also have to remember that everyone had lives before they met their spouses, too. This man has female friends and a new wife, and with the exception of one of...

Everyone is looking to get away these days – rightfully so – but what if you want to check out an awesome island spot without having to travel halfway around the world, or renew your passport to get there. If that sounds like your jam, here are 12 awesome island vacation spots you could skip...

We live in a world where bigger is better and less is definitely not more, which is the theory that almost every company trying to sell you something seems to bank on when marketing new products. Our electronics have improved by leaps and bounds in the past decade, but what if they’re actually outstripping what...

For most parents, yelling isn’t something we want to do, or even try to do, but frustrations can boil over and we’re all only human, right? While that’s totally true and it’s fine to be yourself and occasionally lose your cool with your kids – as long as you apologize afterward – there are several...

We all know by now that skin cancer is a real threat to our health and well-being; we all realize that those days of lying out in the sun for hours to get that perfect, sun-kissed tan are over. That said, choosing a sunscreen and applying that sunscreen seem to still be presenting some challenges. These...

Many of us had to give up going to the gym during the h*%lscape that was 2020, and maybe in our haze of nostalgia and longing (and binge eating) we forgot the downsides of exercising en masse.  If you’re excited about going back to the gym, you’re not alone – but fair warning. These 13 people...

I’m not someone who loves working out, per se, but I will say that it seems to be easier when you have other people around – they sort of egg you on, or make you feel guilty if you don’t put the work in, or I don’t know, make a schedule you can ignore. That...

I know that Brits sometimes have the reputation of being uptight and you know, not really funny, but hear me out – what if we just don’t always get it? I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt after scrolling through these tweets from @NoContextBrits, because if he can find these 16 funnies,...

British humor is a bit off from what Americans are used to, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be legitimately funny, right? If you’re still on the fence, I get it, but listen – the Twitter account @NoContextBrits is here to change your mind with these 15 hilarious posts! 15. It’s not the only option. But...

I know that Americans and Brits are supposed to be like, always at odds, but listen – I kind of see us as older and younger (better looking) siblings who used to fight quit a bit but have got on now that we’re all grown up. So there’s no harm admitting that British people can...

The world can seem awfully serious and dire lately, but no matter how much the truths out there need to be faced and addressed, we also need reminders of how to laugh – because isn’t laughter one of the reasons we all want to survive? If you’re in need of a giggle, or a reminder...
