“Don’t start anything when Mercury is in retrograde. A large communications organization notes that magnetic storms, disrupting messages, are prolonged when Mercury appears to be going backward. Mercury, of course, is the planet associated with communication.” So read an April 1979 issue of The Baltimore Sun, but the practice of blaming astrology in general –...

We have anecdotal evidence that performers of all kinds, but perhaps especially musicians, tend to struggle with their mental health. Their lives too often end in tragedy, and below are 17 heartbreaking facts that seem to buoy the perception that their destined to have it rough. #17. The 27 Club Too many musicians and singers...

Plenty of people are looking for ways to be more environmentally responsible these days, and though the way you live in your own home might seem like a small way to contribute, the truth is that every little bit helps.

Flu season might be coming to a close, but there’s always another winter – and if your kids go to school, play sports, or spend time in daycare then you know there’s no season that’s germ free. So if you’re looking for a way to convince your kids or grandkids to do more than fake...

Do you believe in ghosts? I tend to find that people definitely don’t believe in ghosts but also they don’t want to anger any spirits or anything…just in case. If you were going to be haunted forever, it makes sense that you would want the person to be, you know, nice. And maybe a good...

I don’t know any girl who grew up in the 80s who didn’t once day have to reconcile the fact that she once had a thing for a rogue fox. Disney’s Robin Hood remains, to my mind, the best of the Robin Hoods (though the Cary Elwes version is also worth viewing) despite the fact...

Over a decade ago, someone was functionally cured of HIV through a stem cell transfusion, but the success has proven hard to replicate.

I’ve thus been lucky enough to not suffer from endometriosis, but I have friends who do, and it truly sounds like a nightmare.

The filmmakers probably figured (and hoped) you wouldn’t notice these 15 tiny mistakes, but they’re definitely there. Fair warning, though – after you read this post you won’t be able to unsee them! #15. When Ariel swims out to stop the wedding and climbs onto the ship, she’s shoeless – but when she gets her...

It’s absolutely no secret that new parents (and parents in general) are exhausted. My oldest is two, and I can count the number of nights of uninterrupted sleep I’ve had on one hand. Literally. And while we think “oh, I can catch up when the kids are at grandmas” or “once the baby starts sleeping...

Sharing space, coordinating schedules, all of it – but I imagine the task could seem...
