When you plan a wedding, it’s important to focus not only on details that will make the day sweet and romantic and beautiful, but that will also represent who the bride and groom are as a couple as they begin their lives together. Which sometimes means messing with a classic…. When it comes to choosing...

Most people in the world are at least aware of the social contract we sign in order to operate as part of a society. Which means, when they’re being a**holes or acting like they’re the only human being alive in a space, they’re probably doing it on purpose. If you’re one of the people out...

If you’ve ever tried to learn another language, then you likely realized – quickly – that knowing vocabulary and verb tenses is only part of becoming truly bilingual. Every language has idioms and sayings that are quirky and unique (some even vary by region!) that you have to figure out before people will make total...

All professions have their challenges and rewards, and I think it’s fair to say that nursing has more than its fair share of both. Between life or death situations, constant contact with irritated and sick humans, long hours on their feet, and sometimes being treated as lesser-than by doctors and others “above” them, nurses definitely...

It’s Halloween season – that lovely time of year when people can pass their spiderwebs off as decoration, it’s cold and gross outside, but at least eating too much candy is encouraged. If your yard is bursting with decorations, you’ve got family costumes planned, or there’s a haunted house going up in your basement, well…you...

I might not know a ton about horses, but I never imagined they could be total drama queens. Like this horse, who goes to great, Oscar-worthy lengths to avoid carrying people on his back.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Periódico New Station (@periodico_new_station) on Oct 23, 2019 at 11:08pm...

Art history isn’t everyone’s bag, but there is definitely value in being able to look at a painting and know whose brush brought it to life. And while it takes years for scholars to study the intricacies and subtleties of why the paintings of particular artists look the way they do, you can learn to...

Parenting is not for the faint of heart, and smiling and trying to act like you’re not ready to cut a person who is responsible not only for your child’s intimate safety, but for their emotional safety, is one of the hardest things (I imagine). That’s what we do when they bring home someone new,...

If you’ve had kids recently, then you’re probably aware of the current push for all mothers to breastfeed. There are, of course, many reasons why mothers either choose not to or cannot for some reason breastfeed, and lucky for all of the beautiful babies out there, we have a slew of synthetic options these days....

There are tough riddles, then there are tough riddles – and these 5 really gave me fits. If you’re someone who fancies themself a riddle whiz, let me know what you think after you give these a go. 5. Define alive. 4. A quick but useful life. 3. I am full, yet empty. 2. Many...

We all worry a bit too much about how we come off around other people. What they think about us, whether or not they like us, that sort of thing. And if you’re someone who needs other people to at least respect you in a business capacity, well, then appearing confident and cool is probably...

Everyone has a natural sleep pattern, even babies. Some of us are night owls, others thrive in the early hours of the morning, but one thing is true across the board – we need solid, consecutive hours of sleep in order to perform our best. And since many people find themselves on a forced 9-5...

If you want to feel safer in your community, it turns out you can just wait until allergy season and then go about your business worry-free. Because, much in the same way you feel like crap when allergies attack, it turns out criminals are less likely to go about their regular day when they’re not...

A week into his course of cephalexin, a common antibiotic prescribed to ward off infection in an injured thumb, a man checked into the emergency room with some strange symptoms. They included memory loss, brain fog, and episodes of depression, along with personality changes and uncharacteristic aggression. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzneji-niXW/ Doctors were unable to get to the...

There’s the fancy kind of etiquette that one only needs to know at restaurants that lay out too many forks and royal weddings and the like, and then there’s every day stuff. Stuff like not getting on an elevator until everyone gets off that people should know, but pretend not to when it suits them....
