So, dog is a WOMAN'S best friend? Man, I'm really starting to hate surveys, but guys the sad truth is women are more likely to feel love at first sight with a dog than with you. Seriously. THREE times more likely to be exact. I think I just heard a collective groan from all men everywhere
When I flew to Florida last week I thought "Wow, I cannot believe we're able to do this." If this were the 1600s it would take days on horseback just to travel a few hundred miles. Also thought I'd probable be dead in my 40s from some incurable disease. The only reason why I'd want to live in the 1600s rather than today is to avoid a mass shooting. Other than that, we've got it good these days and here are ten reasons why.
Maybe it's the fact that the Utica-Rome Topix anonymous gossiping pages are the most active one in the nation, or maybe it's this nasty weather we're always plagued with, but after a Gallup 'wellbeing' poll, the Business Insider has ranked the Utica-Rome metro area the 11th most miserable city in the nation! Well, look at the bright side... We're not the worst. Yet.
If I asked you to tell me some of your biggest driving pet peeves, I'm sure you've have plenty to share with me. Lately, one of mine has to be people who take up multiple parking spaces for no apparent reason other than laziness or poor parking skills.
Military jets have had heads-up displays (H.U.D.'s) on their windshields for quite some time and it's been tried out in cars too, not to mention that Tony Stark's helmet display is MAD cool! But here comes the latest generation of heads up technology and just like most of the coolest gadgets we cover, the science behind it feels like it was once again inspired by science FICTION
Recently a mom took her young 9-10 y/o girl to a Victoria's Secret PINK store to buy some unmentionables and created a firestorm among concerned parents so this latest bit from every woman's favorite underwear giant is really flipping some wigs too.
Remember those ads about how you eat a Reese's? Well the question was asked about your favorite Easter treat, the Marshmallow Peep and the results aren't surprising. As a kid I loved eating my food and pretending that it 'didn't wanna die' ("No, no, no.. don't eat me!!") and of course I'm not alone in choosing the head as the first thing to decapitate the poor helpless squishy sugar bird.
The old saying "kids will be kids" apparently doesn't wash with a Florida homeowners association. The directors of the 48-unit townhouse development, Persimmon Place, is proposing a new set of rules that, according to SFGate.com, is most definitely not kid friendly. Just how restrictive is it?
After getting their diplomas, a lot of college graduates decide to head to the big city to try and make it big.
The question that arises, though, is which city is the right one?
You wake up and there's a song in your head or somebody even mentions a stupid song and it gets stuck there all day! They call these little pests 'earworms' and now little beadie-eyed guys with pocket protectors in lab coats have figured out a solution that doesn't involve therapy with a piece of wood marked 'Louisville Slugger'... Although the revelation isn't all that 'scientific'.
It's been a decade since the U.S. lead invasion of Iraq and still today the region is torn between progress and chaos. Our country made an investment of about $1.7 trillion and the loss of 4,487 American troops. When considering the cost of an additional trillion to care for the veterans of the war over the next decade one asks, "Was it worth it"?
As if we didn't feel our age already, it's time to feel just a little bit older! Some of the things on the Top 30 list have gone the way of the dinosaur but they still live in our memory, but most are still here and maybe the nostalgic memories this list creates for you will abate the sickening feeling that these were all born 3 decades ago this year!
