I take my hats off to the following folks: doctors, surgeons, nurses, pilots, truck drivers, scientists…any many more. Why? Because they have incredibly important jobs where people literally depend on them to keep them safe and alive. And, when you think about it, there are a lot of jobs out there where the person really...

I’ve never been to a game show or even been in the audience for one, but it sounds like a whole lot of fun, doesn’t it? And, just like any other entertainment business, there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes that we regular folks never get to see. But now we’re in luck!...

Have you ever been a contestant on a game show? Or maybe you’ve been in the crowd when they taped the show? I’ve never done either, but I’d love to go see Jeopardy! someday…and way back in the day I would’ve done anything to go Double Dare when I was a kid. Oh man, that show was awesome… Anyway,...

Okay, it’s that time again. I’m talking about when WE help YOU out by turning that frown upside down with some funny tweets about totally random subjects. In fact, the more random these tweets are, the better. At least that’s what I think… And I think you probably will too after you sink your teeth...

Hey there, do you need a little bit of laughter in your life? If you’ve been brave enough to poke your head outside your door and take a look around lately, I have a feeling you, like the rest of us, might be a little bit terrified about what’s going on in the world. And...

Well, well, well, aren’t these kiddos adorable? If you thought kids were cute and funny before, wait until you get a load of these children who are obviously all geniuses and are on their way to Ivy League schools in the not-too-distant future. Why? Because they’ve all invented new words and terms for things that...

Kids sure do say the darndest things, don’t they? Yes…yes, they do. Especially when it comes to little boys and girls inventing new words and phrases because they’re totally stumped or they just never knew the right terms in the first place. And, I gotta be honest with you, I like the new, made-up words...

Just when you think you’ve already heard every weird or funny thing that’s gonna come out of the mouths of your kids, they strike again. And you’re about the see the undisputed evidence! Because these folks all went on the record to share their own hilarious stories about wild kiddos making up new words and...

I know my answer to this one! It would have to be Freaks and Geeks. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a show about teenagers in the early 1980s in suburban Detroit. It really was a great show and it launched the careers of so many people, including James Franco, Seth Rogen, Linda Cardellini, and others....

I’m a huge fan of all things creepy, scary, and terrifying, and I especially like hearing stories in this genre that are TOTALLY TRUE. I’d have to say the scariest place I’ve ever been was an abandoned hospital that was rumored to have been an insane asylum back in the day. We went in at...

Halloween is approaching very quickly and this article is just PERFECT for this spooky season. We’re going to hear some creepy, true stories from people about places that a lot of us would not want to be stranded in…especially if we were alone… What’s the scariest place you’ve ever been to? Here’s what AskReddit users...

We all have those certain secrets. Those skeletons in our closets that we’re ashamed of and that we look back on and think…”what the hell was I doing?” I’m talking about the messed-up stuff we’ve done in our pasts… And we’re about to get some pretty interesting confessions from total strangers. Here’s what folks on...

Okay, it’s confession time… No, not from me! Ha! I’m talking from all of these people who are about to admit the most screwed-up things that they’ve ever done in their lives. And I think we’re in for some real interesting stories, my friends… AskReddit users share the most messed-up things they’ve ever done. 1....

It may seem like a weird thing to ponder, but some people have used the worldwide health crisis and the shutdowns that we’ve been dealing with for the past six months to do some good and positive things. Of course, everyone’s situation is different, which is why this time has undoubtedly been awful for some...

I have to say that I consider myself very lucky that no one in my immediate circle has become sick during the course of this terrible pandemic. So, while it has been challenging at certain times, I’ve decided to take these six months to count my blessings and improve my life in as many ways...
