Let me start off by saying that I was born in the United States and I still live here. And I love it. Yes, this country has major problems and a seriously checkered past, but I really do think I’d rather live here than any other country in the world. Hey, that’s just my opinion....

It’s different for everyone. And that’s why when you (and hopefully the other person) get that feeling, you gotta hang on tight and enjoy it while it lasts. I’m talking about falling in love, my friends. And when you have that realization in your head about a special someone, it is absolutely glorious. People on...

Isn’t falling in love great? And even if it doesn’t work out in the end, the memories of those early days when you got the warm fuzzies and butterflies in your stomach will stick with you forever. Hey, it’s one of the best parts about being human! What makes you say to yourself, “I’m in...

One of my brothers is the One Day King. And that’s not a good thing! This was a long time ago and he’s been steadily employed for many years now, but there was a time when we were in high school and college where he quit several jobs after one day for various reasons…and all...

Have you ever been kind of down on yourself for one reason or another and out of the blue you saw a quote that made you snap out of your funk? And, on top of that, it stuck with you? I love those kinds of moments! And we all have the quotes that remain implanted...

I appreciate the fact that a lot of people are obsessed with video games, but I just can’t listen to it. At all. In fact, it kind of makes me want to plug my ears and say “ayayayayayayaya” like a 5-year-old who doesn’t want to listen to their parents. And we all have things like...

If you happen to have pets, then you already know that vet bills can be VERY expensive. And this situation involving a dog from a person on Reddit seems like it might just end a friendship. Let’s see what went down… WIBTA for asking my friend to pay for my dogs surgery after she almost...

You want me to do what? For free?!?! In case you haven’t been paying attention, some employers out there like to do everything they can to take advantage of their workers. And that includes asking them to work overtime for no pay. Let’s see what happened in this story from Reddit. You demand we work...

Revenge is a dish best served cold. That’s how the old saying goes… And we’re about to get a real dose of it with this story from Reddit. Let’s see what transpired! All she had to do was nothing “Players- Me = me (NB31, but I’m not out at work) Manager = Lady Catherine (F60s)...

Okay, I have a confession to make. One time when I was a teenager, I quit a job after one day. But I’ve only done it once in my life, so don’t give me such a hard time, okay? It was at a video store that I had always wanted to work at, but after...

I have two go-to meals that I can make in a jiffy when I’m short on time and I still think they taste pretty good. One is a black bean and cheese quesadilla with a little dollop of sour cream on the side. And the other is a can of tuna fish with mayo, Crystal...

Life comes at you fast! And often you don’t have the time (or the patience) to slowly cook a nice meal. A lot of times you just gotta make something in a hurry that you also don’t mind scarfing down before you get back to work or whatever you were doing. What’s your go-to meal...

I’ve been asked to take part in some “business opportunities” in the past that were really nothing more than weird pyramid schemes designed to make the folks at the top a lot of money. And I’ve heard more than a few people tell me that those things are “just like cults.” And I think they...

Surprisingly, there are quite a few things out there that really do seem…well…culty, for lack of a better word. And I’m talking about things that are definitely not considered cults…at least not yet…but hey, there’s always time! What’s not a cult but really seems like one? AskReddit users shared their thoughts on this subject. 1....

I’m gonna date myself a little bit here, but the first time I saw Green Day play live was in a relatively small venue. Yes, they definitely had some buzz behind them and were getting more popular by the day, but I think that show I saw was one of the last times people could...
