It’s crazy how fast the world changes – how fast it can change, when it needs to – don’t you think? 2020 proved a lot of things, but for me, that definitely stands out. For example, a couple of years ago, very few people had heard of or used Zoom on a regular basis. Now, we’re all...

When we talk about conspiracy theories, they’re usually things that sound outlandish and wild, something that could never be real, or believed by someone with a good head on their shoulders, right? That may be the case, but the actual truth is that there have been more than a few theories that were deemed crazy...

On Seinfeld, Kramer calls Broadway understudies “the substitute teachers of the theater world” and refers to them as “a shifty bunch.” As someone who substitute teachers on a fairly regular basis (but teenagers only, please) I would like to take offense at the sentiment and comparison, but I’m not sure I can. Subs, in my experience, are...

We all have those things we’ve made up to help ourselves or to make our lives a little easier. Other people might think they sound odd, or that they’re too niche to apply to a bunch of situations, but we know better. If you’re looking for a little trick like that to add to your...

We all have quotes that we love to pull out when the situation warrants. Depending on who you are they might be from a movie, a book, from history or a beloved relative – but wherever it comes from, it has stuck with us and we think it bears repeating. Here are 20 quotes that...

Favorite quotes are like old friends that we love to come back and visit time and again. Like those old friends, we also love to share them with others when the perfect opportunity arises. These 19 people are sharing the quotes that speak to them more than any others, the ones that they can’t keep...

Asking someone about their favorite quote is a great way to learn something about them – and trust me, no one is going to pass up the opportunity to share their favorite quote! These 18 people definitely aren’t, so if you’re looking for something particular, or just great life lessons in general, one of these...

Tastes change over time, and honestly, thank goodness for that. I’m relieved to believe that one day, my children will voluntarily eat something that’s not macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets, or pizza for one thing, but for another, experience should teach us a thing or two, don’t you think? If you want to ponder how...

Kids love all kinds of weird things. We know that’s true, but there are some things that just lose their shine, the older you get. Pizza rolls, for example. Dear lord, the heartburn. These 14 people are thinking back to their childhood and how things have changed for them since growing up. 14. A cold...

Being a 9-1-1 operator is a tough, intense job. You’re often on the phone with people during some of the worst, most painful, or most terrified moments of their lives, and that can take a toll on a person over time. Luckily, these 9-1-1 operators also get plenty of hilarious calls to balance things out,...

Experience is not only the best teacher, in some ways it’s literally the only way stubborn human beings figure out this thing we call life. There are things you just can’t know until you know, for better or worse. There are some pitfalls you could probably avoid, though, if you’re willing to listen and don’t...

Your twenties are a strange, free, and wonderful time in the lives of many. You’re still young enough not to have too many responsibilities, you’re on your own for the first time, and you’re figuring out what you want from the rest of your life. That also means, of course, there are plenty of pitfalls...

You know that feeling you get, when you realize you’ve walked into somewhere you don’t want to be? It might be uncomfortable, it might feel dangerous, or maybe it’s just off and you’re not sure why. Whatever the scenario, the best thing to do is to listen to your gut and go – which is...

You know how when you’re a kid and you do something wrong, and then you have to decide whether to come clean with your parents or make something up instead, and you always choose the excuse and it’s never a good idea? I think it’s because most human beings can sniff out a lie and...
