Have you ever seen a ghost before? I can’t say that I have, but I’m certainly not discounting other peoples’ experiences…maybe my time just hasn’t come yet… But there’s no doubt that TONS of folks out there have had experiences with the supernatural. So here are some hair-raising stories that might cause you to look...

Doesn’t traveling to a foreign country sound incredible right about now? Because of this seemingly never-ending pandemic we’re going through, it looks like it might be a while before we can venture to another part of the world…but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it happens sooner than later. Because traveling exposes us to different...

It’s kind of hard to believe that people will be nostalgic for ANYTHING that’s going on in the world right now, but you never know, right…? I’m sure people in 1980 thought the world was going to Hell in a handbasket, but 40 years later, 1980 probably looks pretty decent to some people… But what...

Have you ever been into something that you really loved before it became a huge deal? It’s kind of a weird phenomenon and you feel like you and your friends were too cool for school because you were on the cutting edge, baby! Maybe it’s a band or a movie or an artist or anything...

I am simultaneously fascinated and terrified by the ocean. Fascinated because it is so full of wonder and beauty, but terrified because it seems like we understand so little about it and all the dangerous things that lurk below the ocean’s surface… Also, I’ve seen the movie Jaws way too many times. But some pretty scary stuff...

I am so sick and tired of hearing the term “Fake News” yelled out when someone doesn’t agree with something these days. Yes, I understand that there actually is fake news out there, but this term (and mindset) has been adopted by so many Americans now that it’s actually very dangerous. Even if something doesn’t...

Unless you work a job, you never really know what it’s like until you’re thrown head-first into the deep end. And that’s also how you learn about the secrets and hidden things of any industry. It doesn’t matter if it’s retail, food service, or rocket science: there are always secrets that outsiders don’t know about. Here’s what...

Come on, get happy! That’s the theme of the day (and the theme of the article) and we want everyone to be in a good mood and have a great day. Is that too much to ask for? Some days it sure can seem like it, don’t you think? But today we’re all about the...

What makes you happy in life? I mean really, truly happy? I’d say for me it’s spending time with friends and family and also plenty of the little things: a good meal, swimming in the ocean, playing with dogs, or taking an afternoon nap. That’s the good stuff! Let’s get happy with folks from AskReddit,...

I grew up on a steady diet of horror films, B-movies, and cult classics, so this article is right up my alley. I remember the good, old days when my friends and I would have bad movie marathons in the basement and rent some of the worst pieces of trash you could ever imagine. It...

I know my answer to this question! In 2005, I was sitting in a laundromat in Chicago doing my laundry and I was watching the TV that was hanging from the wall as my clothes were being washed. And then I noticed that Tom Cruise was actually very, very strange with Oprah for some reason…...

I’ve been snorkeling a few times and I really love the ocean, but I’ve never been DEEP down there, as in scuba diving. I think it would be a great time, I’ve just never taken the plunge, so to speak. But I have a feeling that people who spend a lot of time underwater see...

You’ve no doubt heard people brag (or humblebrag) about being into certain things before they hit the mainstream. Movies, music, artists, etc. People always like to make sure that everyone out there knows that they were into it WAYYYYYY before it got popular. But some people really were into stuff before everyone else knew about...

I have to admit, the war on facts and the war on science that we’re currently witnessing scares the hell out of me. I’m all for people having their own opinions about every matter under the sun, but when you blindly reject facts that are right in front of your face, there are bound to...

Here we go again… Yes, it’s another installment of jokes about the pandemic. And do you want to know why? BECAUSE THIS THING IS STILL HERE SEVEN MONTHS LATER. And it really doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere for a while, does it? It’s sad, but true. But we have to deal with it and...
