Despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of women give birth every year, there’s a whole lot that first time moms don’t know before they make the decision to get pregnant and have children. I’m really not sure why we don’t talk about the entire scope of what it takes to gestate and birth a...

Whatever your opinion is on the matter (we know what the Americans with Disabilities Act says, but that’s a topic for another post), Emotional Support Animals are here to stay. You know – the animals that kind of dress like service animals but aren’t actually legal or sometimes even certified and often behave like my...

For most of us, our pets are like our children – and you would be able to tell if you’d gotten the wrong child back from the doctor or the hair salon, right? You’d hope so, but for this woman, she lived with the wrong dog for four months before she realized there was a...

I feel like we’ve been told several times on different occasions that soda–specifically diet soda–is definitely not great for our bodies and minds. People love their soda, though, and so for most of us, they’ve been pretty easy to ignore. This study involves rats, so I’m sure some people will brush it off, too, but...

There are two kinds of people in this world – people who throw out food when the date has passed or it has visible degeneration on it, and people who rely on the sniff test or cut the “bad part” out and eat it instead. If you’re in the first category you can probably stop...

I think that being in charge of hiring for a company would be one of those jobs that has as many highs as it does lows. You get to give people a job, which is awesome, and welcome them to the company. You also have to be the person who goes through a lot of...

Did you ever wonder where the term “computer bug” came from? I’m not sure I ever have, but if I did, I don’t think I would have believed anyone who tried to tell me it was due to an actual critter in a computer! It turns out though that’s probably not what inspired the term,...

It’s an honor to be asked to stand up with a friend as they marry the love of their life. Most of us say yes without a second thought, whether the role is as huge as maid of honor or something smaller like manning the guestbook or being an usher. For some women, though, one...

It may seem like accepting a role like maid of honor or best man is an easy thing to do, but anyone who has stepped into the role and really taken it on knows there’s a lot more to it than showing up on the wedding day. So much, in fact, that some people think...

If you’re someone who rents, whether it’s an apartment or a house, you’ve probably had questions here and there about your rights as far as privacy. After all, you occupy a residence but it actually belongs to someone else, so there is plenty of room in the middle ground for things to get sticky. There...

If there’s one thing you can take away from pretty much every nature documentary, it’s that Mother Nature is a mad scientist. There are all kinds of weird things floating around out there, but listen – if you dive a little deeper, you’ll usually find out there is a method to her madness. When it...

Our parents taught us that when we receive gifts we should say thank you and smile no matter what. Even if it’s something you have, something you don’t like, or something you didn’t ask for, a gift is a gift and you can complain about it later to your mom. Unless it was from your...

We know that your time is precious, but listen – we all need to take some of it to relax, laugh, and remember that life doesn’t have to be serious all the time. If you haven’t had your funny-making brain break today, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered with these 11 quick, giggle-worthy memes. 11....

We talk a lot about people who made irreversible life choices at one point and now regret those decisions, but what about people who made a still-unorthodox choice and are totally content with the aftermath? Well, let’s do it – because these 14 people made the decision not to have kids, make no apologies for...

It has been pointed out (regularly and with prejudice) that Hollywood seems to be out of original ideas. There are a lot of remakes and re-imaginings, along with sequels and prequels, but as far as original films, they seem to be few and far between. If any producers out there are looking for ideas, the...
