Okay, maybe I’ve been watching too much Stranger Things, but these 7 people disappeared so completely – no trace whatsoever – that the upside-down seems as likely a culprit as anything else. I don’t know about you, but disappearance stories really creep me out. If you’re the same, buckle up…and maybe don’t scroll through this...

Do you believe in ghosts? That’s a question you’ve surely been asked more than once in your life, and regardless of how you answer the question, I find that it almost always leads to interesting conversation. For my part, I definitely believe in…something. Energy that’s left behind, perhaps? I don’t really know, but I’ve experienced...

I’ve always thought that people who grow up with certain prejudices probably haven’t spent much time with persons who are different than themselves. Discrimination and prejudice are born and nurtured at home, after all, so maybe the only way to change that way of thinking is to step outside of your inner circle and meet...

These days, people who are Type A – ambitious, goal-oriented, competitive to-do list makers and tacklers – are likely to announce the distinction with pride. After all, Hollywood has glorified the personality type with some pretty awesome characters, like Leslie Knope, Olivia Pope, Amy Santiago, Captain Kirk, and the list goes on and on. Today,...

Did you get to see the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017? I am lucky enough to live in a place that experienced totality, and boy, from the shared experience to watching the night bugs come out in the middle of the day, the whole thing turned out to be even cooler than I...

If you follow Jimmy Fallon’s hashtag game, then you know that he really enjoys asking his viewers to rap about different things. Now that fall is in the air, pumpkin spice lattes are at Starbucks, and yes, football teams are back in action, #footballraps is a natural fit. And even if you’re not a fan...

It, the horror movie based on the Stephen King novel of the same title, premiered in Australia yesterday – September 7, 2017. In the days ahead of the release, Sydney residents have been finding red balloons tied to sewer grates around the city (a references to the sewer-dwelling, dancing, homicidal clown, Pennywise), in some instances...

If you’re like me, one of your life goals is to be able to find the perfect property one day. One that’s close enough to modern conveniences, and an airport in case you need to quickly flee the country, but secluded enough that you don’t have to wear pants, listen to lawnmowers, or do that...

In an era where books (and then television shows) like The Handmaid’s Tale and other dystopian stories are freaking people out with their stark believability, maybe it’s not surprising that these studies caught my eye – and totally freaked me out. After all, who can really say what will be the consequences of our consumerism, drive-thru...

Sometimes it seems as if the whole world is on pins and needles these days when it comes to the sensitive topics of racism and xenophobia. Tensions are high wherever we go because of differing religious beliefs, the growing political divide, or the refugee crisis. This is leading some people to try their best to...

No doubt you’ve seen or heard about the devastation that Hurricane Harvey is wreaking on Houston – unprecedented amounts of rainfall that have resulted in massive flooding, and thousands of people are looking for temporary shelter as they’re forced from their homes. While some people have been slow to step up, Jim McIngvale (otherwise known...

I worked in a government office for 12 years, each one of which stole a small percentage of my soul, and also my will to live. Some days, the only thing that kept me going was a little passive-aggressive exchange with that one co-worker (you know the one) who seemed to enjoy lodging things in...

We’ve had a #HowIGotFired hashtag in the past (which was equal parts hilarious and horrifying), and now, thanks to Jimmy Fallon once again, the twitter universe is gracing us with reasons why people quit their job. These are just as funny, appealing, and appalling, and they’re full of exactly the kind of internet hilarity you...

There is no shortage of weird neighbors in this world (I mean, I’ve got at least two, and the jury’s still out on another), so it really wouldn’t be fair of me to share just 15 of the best responses to this hashtag game – there are literally dozens that are post-worthy. So, without further...

Ah, best friends. You never know where you’re going to find them, and often they’ve climbed into that “best” status before you know what’s happened (those are the best kinds of bests!). But life would be pretty dumpy without them, amirite? I’m lucky enough to have three gals I consider best friends (plus my mama)...
