There are so many things that just are in our lives. We never stop to think about them much; they work, they don’t offend or annoy or trouble us, and so we don’t question it. We write our letters or pay our bills or send our holiday cards once a year, and every time, we print...

If you thought that the only people who misinterpret songs and lyrics are little kids, well, think again. Adults do it, too, because like all art, sometimes the true intent behind the words of our favorite songs are only truly known to the people who create them. And collectively, we all fell in love with...

If you need one more reason to love shrimp (you don’t), here the shells come, ready to help our wounds shine just a little bit faster. I think even Bubba Gump would have to add something to his list of things that make shrimp amazing for this, don’t you? We’ve known for awhile that the...

There are people who spring right out of bed, ready and willing to greet another day with a smile. Then there are the rest of us, and I gotta say, waking up is hard to do. And while coffee or a quick walk with the dog can go a long way toward shaking yourself awake...

Not just the trucks, but behind-the-scenes of the whole company! Now more than ever, we appreciate the people who work hard to deliver our food, packages, medicine, and anything else we could imagine having land at our doorstep within days (or even hours). But what goes into becoming a UPS driver? What are their days...

It’s that time of year again – the time when you really appreciate all of the delivery drivers who make Christmas possible. That goes double for Christmas in 2020, when no one wants to go anywhere they don’t have to, but we all are in need of more than a little bit of cheer. But...

As human beings, we like to think that the people who make our food have our backs. We also like to think in the case that they might not, we have government agencies that will slap them on their wrists and save us from the gut aches that could have ensued. To know that’s not true,...

People criticize Jeff Bezos for all sorts of things. He makes money hand over fist and there are plenty of folks who think he doesn’t give enough back, for one. For another, there have been consistent reports of how employees of Amazon don’t feel appreciated (at best) or feel downright unsafe or taken advantage of...

People dismiss students all the time, like because they’re still learning that they don’t know a dang thing. The truth is that people who are currently studying something are not only primed to come up with answers to hard questions, they’re also often coming at a situation with fresh eyes. And regardless of whether or...

People love reading horror stories. We love scaring ourselves silly with horror movies, we read horror novels, and people like Stephen King and Alfred Hitchcock have made literal livings making people pee their pants with fright. So many of us listen to true crime podcasts and watch the “murder shows” like Unsolved Mysteries. That said, most...

Halloween might be over, but our collective love for the movie Hocus Pocus endures all year round. Sure, the nostalgia plays different with leaves crunching on the ground and spooky season all around but I, for one, would just like to say we can talk about the movie any old day of the year. So why...

Facebook is one of those things we love and hate, and something that many younger people eschew all together. There are many days I envy those younger people, and not just for their ability to abandon toxic social media sites for greener pastures (even if they are being data mined by China). If you’re one...

Succulents are all the rage right now, because people are getting into plants, but also most of us still lack the ability to properly take care of plants. Enter the succulent – it’s pretty, it’s small, and it’s really hard to kill. People really, really like them, y’all. The only thing that might be more...

It’s pretty hard to shock most of us these days when it comes to dumb stuff people say and think. The internet has pretty much made everyone’s internal monologue available to the public, and for most of us, that’s not necessarily a good thing. If you’re looking to feel smarter or more put together, though,...

There are dumb things on the internet and then there are posts like these 12, where you’re pretty sure you’ve lost some IQ points just reading them. If that sounds like the way you want to spend your afternoon, well, read on my friends. 12. Nope. That’s not right. I need to know if there...
