Parents Who Just Need Bedtime to End Right Now

Bedtime is the bane of many a parents’ existence, and even if you’ve got angel children who love to sleep and typically listen when you tell them to do something, they will take advantage of bedtime at one point or another.

It’s in their DNA; they can’t help it.

That said, these 15 parents have had it up to here, mister, so it’s time to go to bed.

15. That sounds about right.

And sort of like a good idea.

14. They will win that game.

It was a good idea, though.

13. You can do this.

Now get back in there.

12. Rookie mistake.

They’ll outgrow that when they outgrown stuffed animals sorry.

11. Just read your book.

And don’t tell your mother.

10. Go ahead and shake your fist at the sun.

It doesn’t care, though.

9. I mean will she put him to bed?

Because that changes my opinion on her.

8. One of them definitely knows where it is.

You’re not waking them up, though.

7. Let his imagination run wild.

Maybe it will put him to sleep.

6. Eventually you’ll get to acceptance.

They’ll wear you down.

5. They can do SO many things at once.

It’s like they’ve been training for bedtime all day.

4. That’s excellent parenting right there.

Any song will do, so pick a good one.

3. Definitely choose something boring.

A textbook, perhaps.

2. That’s called karma, people.

I would be giggling for hours.

1. This is actually a really good question.

Now go to sleep.

 

I want bedtime to be lovely, but it’s just not.

If you’ve got tips for making it easier, leave them in the comments!

The Basket App Tells You the Best Place to Buy Your Groceries

If your house is like mine, you’ve watched your grocery bill go up, up, and up some more as everyone has been forced to eat, work, sleep, and play at home more often than not.

It’s more important to most of us than ever, then, and the Basket app is here to make sure you’re getting the very best deal for your money.

If you download the app and the sign up/log in, you can choose all of the nearby grocery stores that you’re willing to visit for your shopping trip. You add your items to one basket, then the app will show you the cost of the items at each store, but will also compare the total price of your basket depending on location.

So, if you want to visit more than one store to get all of the best deals, you can.

Or if you want to go for the cheapest overall basket, you can do that too – though you’ll want to take into consideration how far you have to go to shop, too (if you’re not ordering online, all the time at this point).

Image Credit: basket.com

The prices are submitted by other Basket users, by scanning products in the store or entering prices manually in the app.

Prices could change, items could be out of stock by the time you order, etc – nothing is perfect.

That said, this app makes things way easier than running around town, not knowing which stores have the best deals until you get there to see them in person.

No matter how you choose to shop, the Basket app gives you all of the information you need to make the most informed decision possible, and if you ask me, that’s pretty cool.

When you’re pregnant for the first time, you might dream of giving that baby a warm bath, nursing him or her as they get sleepy, and snuggling that warm precious soul into oblivion.

Though sometimes it is really that way.

It’s a joke. None of their lists ever end.

If you keep talking you can’t fall asleep.

11. They do like to stay hip with the times.

10. And moms with anxiety.

Melatonin for everyone.

9. Points for being clever.

But no.

8. We all start out as the first parent.

And end up the second one.

7. Some days I’d rather face Fury Road.

Especially if Charlize Theron is there.

6. No one can suspend that much disbelief.

We’re not buying it.

5. He’s living the dream and doesn’t even know it.

Wait thirty years and talk to me, kid.

4. I don’t think Dante ever made it that far.

Think about the people with more than two kids.

3. Because the kids never went to bed.

If they think you have plans they will outlast you every single time.

2. You just bought yourself a sore back, mister.

Because you’re not leaving that room anytime soon.

1. Excellent joke.

Now go to bed.

I’ve been these parents before, and I’m sure I will be them again!

People Talk About How They Got the Scars on Their Bodies

I have a pretty big scar on my chest that’s about 4 inches long and looks vicious.

People ask me how I got it and I always say jokingly, “a knife fight”. But the truth is far less impressive, my friends.

Here’s what happened: we were on a family vacation in Florida when I was about 16-years-old and went to the beach, walked into the Gulf of Mexico, and dove in when the water was about waist deep. As I skimmed along the bottom of the water, a big, jagged shell that was sticking out of the sand cut deep into the middle of my chest.

It bled like crazy and probably could have used stitches, but I just put a butterfly bandage on it and the sun and the saltwater made it into a big, puffy scar that I still have today.

Oh, and I have a cool scar on my hand because some kid stabbed me with a hand-made, wooden knife on accident on the bus my Freshman year of high school!

Folks on AskReddit opened up about how they got the scars on their bodies. Let’s take a look!

1. Still think of her.

“I was 10 years old, in Girl Scouts, and I really wanted a jack knife.

Mom got me one, and said, “Be careful. And if you’re not careful and you cut yourself, don’t come crying to me.” So I’m outside whittling on a stick, and the knife slipped and sliced into my finger.

Mom’s gonna kill me. I was scared to go inside the house, ’cause Mom would know what happened, so I rinsed the cut with the garden hose and wrapped my sock around the finger til it stopped bleeding.

Mom’s been gone 35 years and I think of her whenever I notice that scar.”

2. Lucky to be here.

“My appendix ruptured and the doctor claimed I was faking it for drugs. Only when my mom said she would burn down the clinic the doctor sent us to the hospital along with a police escort to arrest her…

I was under the knife and operated on within 15 minutes of arrival barely surviving and they had to make a 8 inch opening to flush out every piece of contaminant 5 times before they could close me up.

My mom was not arrested and the police officer told her how to file for disciplinary actions on the doctor.”

3. Lab accident.

“My middle school science teacher was doing a routine demonstration in which she heated up a jelly baby with a bunsen burner.

For whatever reason it went wrong, the jelly baby exploded, and landed on my knee. Burnt a hole through my skirt and tights and the scar is still there to this day. She was a bloody lovely woman and a fab teacher and was really really apologetic.

She let me eat the rest of the bag of jelly babies to make up for it.”

4. Those things are nasty.

“Brown recluse spider bite.

I was four, and my mom didn’t notice it for DAYS.

Definitely could have died, but luckily got away with just a scar.”

5. Terrible.

“I was 11 and got mugged, the third guy sliced my face.

There was so much blood they freaked out and ran.”

6. Ouch.

“I was riding my bike in the city, and a car door from one of the parallel parked cars opened up in front of me.

Needed surgery on my collarbone.

Now I can tell when it’s about to rain because my metal plate begins to hurt.”

7. Butterfingers.

“On my left hand, I have a one and a half inch scar. You can still see the holes from the stitches that I had.

I was cleaning the excess plastic from a 3D printed project. It just got out of the acid bath, which is used to help get rid of the extra bits of plastic. I was shaving down larger bits that didn’t get burnt off with an x-acto knife.

If you ever had acid on your hands, know it makes them very slippery, so my project slipped and I cut through my left hand.”

8. Scary stuff.

“Used to work in a small pharmacy, my coworker was going to a party and asked if I could close up myself.

Me being me, I agreed, I was locking some stuff away (we used to keep most of the strong stuff in just some lockers, we upgraded after this) and 4 junkies jumped me.

Sliced my throat, and took a bunch of drugs. Wasn’t deep but it could have been lethal.

I was in shock but knew i needed to call for help so I just went and pushed the alarm and called 112 (911 in Europe). Luckily I got the help I needed and the thieves were caught.”

9. Glad you’re okay.

“I was going out for my 17th birthday last year and the car I was in got hit by a truck.

I ended up with a long scar starting from my forehead going back into my head.”

10. The old days.

“Y’all old people remember the swing sets that were made of metal poles and if you swung too high/hard the legs would lift up and the chains holding the swings were never fully attached so you could go flying off at a moments notice?

That, with a spectacular landing right into the end of the pole on the slide that was tipped over that gouged out a hole the size of a dime in my knee.”

11. What a story.

“Drank a box of wine, jumped off a roof, broke my leg, had s*x instead of going to the hospital immediately.”

12. Sounds painful.

“I tripped on a stick & half of it jammed into my shin bone.

The weirdest part? It didn’t bleed.

I speculated that perhaps I’m a cyborg & just didn’t know it but that didn’t pan out.”

13. Whoa!

“I was camping with the family when I was around 5 years old.

I was playing, my mom and dad were busy setting up the campsite. I spot what I think is a kitty cat and go over to pet it.

Turns out it was a Bobcat. It left me with a 6 inch scar across my chest.”

14. Dangerous playground.

“When I was about 4 years old I fell from a playground.

At the time in my country a specific type of playground was very popular, imagine a sort of Fort made from metal. They were 2 stories high, on one end there was like a half story on which there was a slide and set of stairs to get on the playground, then there was another set of half stairs to get to the highest part of the thing.

On the other end there were 2 sets of, I wanna say climbing rope nets, but made from metal, to get from the ground to the top of the thing. And those things were huge, as in 4 year old me could barely climb them.

There was also a fireman’s pole, and swings, all metal, and on the upper level there also were some catwalks to get to the “towers” of the fort.

So this really windy day the lady that watched us while our parents were working was up in of the towers with my (still in arms) little sister, I was walking up there from the end that had the slide and the regular stairs, and when I got to the top where the climbing things were the wind knocked me over and I fell rolling down those.

When I landed my head hit the concrete base where the thing was built and I got a cut about 10 centimeters long right in my forehead right to my skull.

Obviously chaos ensued, an ambulance was called, etc.

The paramedics had to use a whole roll of gauze around my head to be able to contain the bleeding enough to get me to the hospital.

Once I got to the hospital and the doctors removed the gauze everybody freaked out and a million doctors got called. In the end nothing really bad happened and they sewed me up, 30 something stitches on my forehead.

Thinking back I can see why those playgrounds no longer exist here.”

How about you?

Do you have any crazy scars on your body?

If so, how did you get them?

Tell us all about it in the comments! Thanks in advance!

People Share Facts That They Find Very Comforting

It’s a depressing world out there lately, and a lot of times we tend to forget about the pure, wholesome things out there that bring us comfort.

But if we dig under the grimy surface of all the bad news and negativity that exists, there are a lot of wonderful facts and stories that could really brighten our days and weeks…and maybe even our years.

So why don’t we go ahead and do that?!?!

Let’s get some comfort from some AskReddit users.

1. A life lesson.

“The story of a man named Colonel Sanders is quite powerful. He was 5 when his dad died, he quit school at age 16, had lost 4 jobs by age 17, got married at 18, but his wife left him when he was 20, taking his baby with her.

He lived depressed until age 65, when he retired and decided to commit suicide. He was writing his suicide letter when he began to think of what his life COULD’VE been, and began to think about his ability to cook.
He borrowed $87, cooked some chicken, and sold them door-to-door in the streets of KFC. By age 88, he was a billionaire. For those of you who don’t know, Colonel Sanders is the founder of KFC pictured in KFC’s logo.

The message: It’s NEVER too late to start.”

2. Nobody cares.

“It’s highly unlikely anyone but you remembers that embarrassing stuff you did 8 years ago.

So get over it.”

3. Amazing.

“Some bees will drink alcohol and get drunk off it.

Then when they try to go home, bee ‘bouncers’ won’t let them in the hive till they’re sober.”

4. I have to check this out.

“There’s a YouTube channel that hosts MARBULA ONE

It’s just a guy racing marbles on a hot wheels track and it’s super well produced and actually looks like a Formula One broadcast.”

5. Truth!

“Your dog will never not be happy to see you.”

6. Let’s get along.

“Some Liberals aren’t crazy, and some Conservatives aren’t racist.

I see them get along just fine in the real world, whenever this manufactured hysteria isn’t marionetting them around…

Shocking, I know.”

7. You’ll be just fine.

“Giving birth — either going through it yourself, or supporting someone — is terrifying. So is caring for a baby.

But humanity has existed for a ridiculously long time. And especially now, where maternity and infant death rates are at all-time lows, it is even safer.

If some prehistoric cave dwellers could pop one out in the dirt and the species could survive, you realize that babies are hardier than they look.

Very comforting when you go home with one the first time and realize you have no idea what you’re doing.”

8. Feed me!

“Hummingbirds will remember feeding spots for the rest of their lives, subsequently remembering the human which keeps said feeder filled. They might even send you a “cheet-cheet” when they’re zooming away.

If you forget to fill a feeder and leave it empty for a few hours, it’s very likely your neighborhood hummer (or international traveling hummer) will come to remind you to fill it.

I’ve had one circle my head non-stop until i refilled.”

9. I did not know that!

“When playing with female puppies, male puppies will often let them win, even if they have a physical advantage.”

10. Thank you!

“Spiders, moths and other insects don’t want to get near us while we’re sleeping, because of our breathing pattern and CO2 output.”

11. Purring.

“Elephants purr like cats when they’re happy!

Learned this in French Lick, Indiana when I met a beautiful elephant named Lou and she purred with all the pets!”

12. They trust you.

“A dog laying on its side shows the dog is incredibly safe and comfortable since laying on the side exposes the dog’s vital organs.”

13. Comforting to some…

“One day the sun will explode, the earth would be set on fire and none of us will exist anymore.

For some reason I find the inevitability of that event somewhat comforting. It helps me realise that in the grand scheme of things, nothing we do really matters so have a good time while you’re here, be good to others and just enjoy the ride.”

14. Having fun.

“In Alaska, bison run and slide on frozen lakes while other bison watch them and snort their joy and approval at each other.

Read Winterdance: The Fine Madness Of Running The Iditarod for this and other profound and f*cking hilarious stories of an idiot and his relationship with animals in the wild.”

15. They like us!

“Elephants have the same reaction in their brains when they see humans as humans have when they see babies or puppies.

Basically elephants think humans are cute.”

16. Stardust.

“Everything (physical) in our reality stems from the same original stardust source. In turn we are all one with the universe, we are all part of the same reality from the same original source (whatever that may be.)

When we die we will return to the source and wait for our next turn to manifest in whatever the universe sees fit. While we wait we will be reunited with our loved ones, we can never truly say goodbye.”

Now we want to hear from you!

In the comments, tell us about some facts that bring you comfort.

We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

People Discuss Products Designed for One Gender but Now Mostly Used by the Other

Ever noticed that sometimes, things that were designed for one group of people end up getting used by other people than was originally intended?

It really does happen all the time…even if you’re not exactly paying attention to that phenomenon.

What’s something that was designed for the use of one s*x but is now predominantly used by the other?

Here’s how folks on AskReddit responded.

1. Reds.

“Marlboro “Reds” referenced the color of the filter, which was redish so that it wouldn’t show lipstick.

Kinda funny that reds are considered manly now, and women are more likely to smoke the lights which have white filters.”

2. For the ladies.

“Victoria’s Secret was originally supposed to be a place for men to buy lingerie for their wives and not feel embarrassed.

But now it’s almost exclusively shopped at by women.”

3. Not a good look for the guys.

“Croptops.

A football thing, initially.

Like young Johnny Depp in A Nightmare on Elm Street.

4. Wow!

“High heels were originally made for butchers to wear (who were mostly men) so that they could keep their feet clean of any blood from slaughtering animals.”

5. Mustang.

“The Ford Mustang.

It was supposed to be a car with a big trunk to you could fit all the groceries in it. There was even an ad or article stating that you can own a mustang that matches the color of your lipstick.

Makes sense why a lot of old mustangs are red.”

6. Uggs.

“Ugg boots were originally worn by male surfers, with their girlfriends stealing and wearing them like they would a leather jacket.”

7. Never heard this before.

“Holding doors for people.

A woman was supposed to hold the door for a man so he could check for any dangers in the building (the thought was mainly for married couples, but it could be done to a total stranger as well).

At some point it flipped and turned to just being a polite thing to do.”

8. Did you know this?

“Old Spice was launched by Shulton Inc. in 1937.

William Lightfoot Schultz was inspired by his mother’s potpourri and as a result, the first Old Spice product in 1937 was a woman’s scent called Early American Old Spice.

The product was received well, and therefore followed with Old Spice for men in 1938.”

9. Totally different use now.

“Hitachi Magic Wand. It was originally manufactured for relieving tension and relaxing sore muscles. Often used by athletes.

But now is famous for its use as a s*x toy/industrial strength vibr*tor.”

10. Midol.

“Midol was marketed as non-gender-specific headache medication when it was first created.

Decades later they changed to marketing it specifically for treating menstrual cramps and bloating.”

11. Who knew?

“The leg stirrups they use at the gynecologist were invented for removing bladder stones in men.

They used to cut from below the testicles and cut right through the prostate. It had a very low survival rate and was not approved by the medical profession.

The original hippocratic oath had a section on “not cutting for stone” meaning they swore not to surgically remove the stones because of it. They later removed that section of the oath, otherwise a bunch of urologists would be out of a job.”

12. Hot and heavy.

“Playgirl.

The magazine was founded in 1973 and was suppose to be intended and was marketed as such to women.

However, gay men became the most dominant consumer of the magazine.”

13. It’s a satchel!

“Purses.

Back in the day all the men carried their coinage in a purse.

Although it’s making a comeback for modern dudes.”

14. Get your stretch on.

“Yoga it was invented by men for men but for some reason it’s mostly women who gravitate towards it at least in the west.

Many men are too afraid to try it which is a shame because yoga is enjoyable I really enjoy it and it has a lot of benefits.”

15. For everyone.

“I remember reading somewhere that Kleenex was made for ladies to remove their makeup, but their husbands were blowing their noses in them.

And now we all blow our noses in them.”

What do you think about this?

Can you think of some other products that were designed for one s*x but are now mostly used by the other?

People Share Facts They Think Are Comforting and Wholesome

I need a ray of sunshine in my life right now…or maybe a whole bunch of rays of sunshine.

Because it’s been rough going lately, hasn’t it? A worldwide health crisis, a divided country, riots and protests in the street…when will it end?

Hopefully, the answer is very soon, but until then we just have to keep the best we can and keeping our fingers crossed that things will settle down soon…

So, in the spirit of keeping things positive, let’s check out some facts that AskReddit users say should bring us all some comfort.

1. How adorable!

“Scientists have discovered that rats LOVE playing hide and seek and squeal with joy when finding/being found.”

2. A beautiful day.

“All of the cardigans Mister Rogers wore on camera were knit by his mother.”

3. Don’t go too far.

“Otters hold each others hands when they sleep so their mate won’t drift away.”

4. A good deed.

“There’s a volunteer organization called ‘No One Dies Alone’.

You’re at Sacred Hearts medical center, you’re terminal, you need a companion. From someone to talk to, or just someone to hold our hand. They’ll make sure someone will be there for you.

Other hospitals have this too.”

5. That’s good news!

“Scientists, earlier this year, made a massive breakthrough in curing blindness, like verging a cure.

It was masked by the virus headlines though.”

6. Lucky for us.

“Jupiter gravitational mass is so immense modern science believe it’s been protecting us from meteors for millions of years.”

7. Let’s play!

“Crows and ravens love to play in snow.

One of their favorite activities is rolling hills.”

8. Interesting history.

“Liechtenstein once deployed 80 men for protecting the border against Austria. Despite their worries, they saw exactly zero combat.

When they called it a day they returned home – with 81 men. Because an Italian bloke bumped into them and wanted to come live in Liechtenstein.

They literally made a friend on the way.”

9. What a time to be alive.

“We have been born into arguably the best point in human history.

True that we have a whole slew of troubles. These issues are only minor examples compared to the plagues, social Darwinism, and overall pretty crap quality of life you’d live say 100 years back.

We still have those plagues, racial biases and hatred but we are lucky that we are alive in a time where over the past century so many strives towards equality have been made.

Except Black Licorice, we are unfortunately still in that era.”

10. Happy dogs!

“In dog/wolf movies where they use real-life dog actors.

The people who have to edit them sometimes have to add CGI tails because the dogs can’t stop wagging their tails because they are so happy.”

11. Very true.

“Nothing is permanent.

So even if you have no hope, everything sucks, or you’ve messed up, nothing is permanent.”

12. I like this one.

“Lots of people suffer from loneliness.

So when you feel lonely, you are not alone.”

13. Here we are.

“You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.”

14. That’s wild!

“Given all the atoms in the universe are recycled in various ways (having formed in the first stars), our entire body has already experienced billions of years of each atoms own personal history.

Even more comforting, it’s plausible those atoms will eventually become part of someone else in the future and will continue to exist in various forms – transforming continuously – until the end of time itself. So in a way, we’re connected to something absolutely eternal and our ultimate fate is to be spread across the stars.

Hell, depending how deep you want to get, there’s also a tiny, tiny chance that your pattern of DNA will form entirely by chance again, creating someone that is biologically you but with a whole new memory, experiences and history.

Basically, everyone and everything is connected.

The best part? None of this is based on religion or wishful thinking, it’s actual established and current scientific fact.”

What facts do you find comforting?

Let us know in the comments!

We look forward to hearing from you!

People Admit Their Go-To “Poverty Meals” They Enjoy No Matter How Much Money They Have

Whether you have $5 in your pocket or $5,000, there are some meals that stick with you and that you still enjoy from when times were lean and you had to do everything in your life on the cheap.

I think my go-to cheap meal is just a plain cheese quesadilla. Cheese and flour tortillas, that’s all you need.

And they still taste great and I still make them to this day!

Let’s dig into some cheap meals with folks on AskReddit and see what they had to say.

1. Lessons from Mom.

“Grew up poor, but my mom sure knew how to stretch a dollar.

She would make steak fingers out of the cheapest cuts she could find. Tenderize, fry them up make gravy out of the drippings and serve with mashed potatoes.

The whole meal probably cost less than 5 bucks in ’70s dollars, and I’m telling you nothing tasted better. I made it for my kids when they were growing up and they still ask me for it sometimes.

She would be 94 today. Love you miss you mom.”

2. Potato time!

“Put some red skin potatoes, fresh green beans, chicken stock, and seasonings in a pot (or slow cooker) and simmer it for an hour or more.

Use a slotted spoon to put some in a bowl, then add a bit of stock and plenty of butter.

It’s heaven.”

3. Pretty simple.

“We used to eat squash and eggs growing up.

Grew the squash and eggs are cheap enough, or trade with the neighbors. You just cut the squash into thin round and cook in a pan with a little oil until they’re just soft. Scramble the eggs with the squash, add a bunch of pepper, some salt.

Sometimes we ate it over noodles or rice.”

4. Yummy.

“Oven-baked potatoes with salt and margarine. Cheap ingredients found in almost every home and easy to make.

Also, the starch in potatoes makes you feel full for pretty long.”

5. Here’s the deal.

“Steamed white rice, crack a raw egg in it while it’s scorching hot, stir aggressively and dash with soy sauce. I

f I have some, put roasted seaweed in. Super cheap breakfast but oh man is it filling/delicious.”

6. The best!

“Grilled cheese is great pretending to be bougie food too.

My brother and I used to go to the store together and splurge on fancy-ish cheese (i.e. still the precut stuff in plastic in the dairy section, not the high end stuff in the deli section or the fancy cheese cooler) and see who could come up with the best combination of cheeses and bread from the bakery section.

I think we settled on sourdough, smoked gouda, havarti, and cream cheese.”

7. So good!

“I had a PB&J recently and felt like a fool!

Why did I stop eating these when I became an adult? Society lead me to believe this was the way.

It is not! Been having PB&J a couple nights a week since. I refuse to let societies unenlightened views dictate my dinner choices!

PB&J is a top tier dish for any occasion.”

8. Mix it up.

“Make some pasta and add in whatever you can find in the fridge or cabinets.

Cheese, lunch meat, Spam, spices, etc.

No two meals were ever the same.”

9. Sounds good.

“Peanut butter and sliced banana on toast.

Now that I’m better off financially, I’ll add real honey and ground cinnamon because I’m fancy now.”

10. Struggle nachos.

“I still regularly eat my struggle nachos, tortilla chips with slices of American cheese on top and microwaved.

Now that I can afford it I’ll throw taco meat on top every now and again but still very much enjoy just the chips and cheese.”

11. Keep it simple.

“Quesadillas (with hot sauce if there is any)

I think a lot of people have different ideas of what a quesadilla is. My version is strictly a single tortilla with whatever cheese I have lying around (usually dollar packs of singles).

That means no meat, beans, lettuce, tomato, etc. And I definitely don’t use a Foreman to make mine”

12. Every day.

“Toast with a fried egg for breakfast.

Been eating that for probably 6 years now and still look forward to it every morning.”

13. There you go.

“Mexi-Mac:

Cook a pound of ground beef with a packet of taco seasoning. Make a box of Kraft Mac n’ Cheese. Mix together.

Also, that’s your salt quota for the week.”

Do you have some go-to cheap meals that you enjoy no matter where you’re at financially?

Tell us all about them in the comments!

We’d love to hear from you!

There are a lot of things about life that we can’t know until we know, until there’s more perspective and experience under our belts.

If you’re someone whose younger, perhaps still in your twenties, here are 15 things older people wish they’d started doing when they were your age.

15. Regretting this now.

Exercising.

Could’ve avoided so much joint and back pain, asthma and self-confidence issues if I started years earlier.

14. Absolutely no one should start smoking.

Taking my health more seriously.

Specifically quitting smoking and making it stick.

I am now 5 years nicotine free, but that’s after 33 years of smoking.

13. Reading is an excellent habit.

Reading.

It’s like being able to steal years of people’s life experiences in just a few days without having to go through any of the bullshit.

12. If you can master this you can change your life.

Getting up when the alarm goes off instead of hitting snooze.

11. Finances are important.

 Look up topics such as investing, personal finance, economics. I find youtube to be an easy way to learn things, just gotta be able to filter out the bullshit.

Also, Khan Academy has some great lessons on finance.

What branch of finance are you particularly interested in? I could recommend some sources

10. Brush. Your kids. Teeth.

Brushing my teeth ? no one made me when i was too little to care and by the time i wanted to do it for me the damage was done

9. Skin cancer is no joke.

Wearing sunscreen every time I go out.

Skin cancer sucks.

8. Yes. Do this TODAY.

Being myself more.

I remember I constantly changing my personality based on the friends I was hanging out with which made me very unhappy.

But now that I started being myself around people that actually like me has made much more accepting of myself.

7. And also pain.

Taking care of my teeth.

I didn’t take my dental health seriously when I was young and now I need a decent amount of work done that will likely cost me a lot of money.

6. You need like 5 good ones, tops.

Not worrying about having lots of friends.

In my younger years I tried to be friends with too many people at once and didn’t have any solid friendships.

Having a few really close friends is far better than many wishy-washy friends.

5. Little changes every day.

Getting up early and just doing what needs to be done in a day instead of putting it off forever

I got started by getting up early for work. Slowly it became my new norm to get up at 7am on my days off. The getting things done part was trickier.

I guess I started by doing small things like cleaning or doing errands right away. Like if I was washing clothes, I wouldn’t let them sit in the dryer. I would take them out right away and hang them up.

Eventually it just became a routine and part of my life.

4. There’s no downside.

Being honest with the people around me, and not lying to myself about who i am.

3. I’ve really got to give this a try.

Yoga – made me a much fitter, more confident, and happy person!

2. It’s not a bad word.

Telling mfs no.

1. Self-esteem is everything.

Accepting myself and not tying who I am to other people’s perceptions. It took me so long to accept my brain and my neurology, much less be proud of it like I am now.

It really screwed up my self-esteem when I was little and I didn’t really get out of that until high school.

I definitely agree with most, if not all, of these!

If you’re on the older side of life, what are some things you would add to this list? Share them with us in the comments!

Men Share the Moment They Realized She Definitely Wasn’t That Into Them

Relationships can be very difficult and that goes double for people who struggle to read a room, another person, or even their own reactions and feelings.

For a million reasons, it can be hard to realize when someone else isn’t really into you at all, so if you’re wondering that about someone right now, here are 16 guys ready to share what did it for them.

16. Maybe she DID like you?

When she used to give everyone hugs but only ever offered me a high five.

15. Or she’s really boring. Either way.

Had a dinner together, and the entirety of her contributions to the conversation were repetitions of “yep” “that’s cool”. and such.

Even when I tried to ask her questions and engage her in the conversation, she just had nothing to add or to say. Was pretty clear it wasn’t sparking.

14. But WHY though omg.

I went out to a restaurant/bar with four buddies.

Some ladies sent over a round of drinks.

To my four buddies.

13. Don’t have to work too hard here.

I asked her out

She said “ew”

12. That poor kiddo.

 I was with 2 guy friends at our mall one time (years ago in jr. High). A small group of girls started following us. So we stopped and waited to see what they would do. Eventually 1 comes over and says that her and her friends think we’re cute and can they have our numbers.

I remember feeling pretty bada$s just then – I didn’t realize yet that I wasn’t included lol. So one buddy says he has a gf (he did), girl looks at buddy #2 and he gives her his number. She says ok thanks and leaves. Didn’t even look at me. Ego did a 180 that day. Lol

11. Junior high is ROUGH, y’all.

Reminds me of a time in junior high school when I told some girl that I liked another girl and told her not to tell anyone.

Lo and behold, next class, I’m talking to the girl I like and she asks the group “hey do you guys know who jewfro667 is?”

Me, being the shy kid, have no idea what to do so I play dumb until someone points to me and I raise my hand a bit. The look on this girl’s face was not at all one of pleasant surprise.

Needless to say, it stuck with me almost 20 years later.

10. That says more about her than you.

When I a senior in high school, I went to a party one night where there was like 11 of us, 5 girls and 6 dudes. One of the girls there was very boy crazy and really into a good friend of mine. She kept begging him to go into one of the bedrooms to f%ck but he kept turning her down. Finally I guess she had enough of him telling her no. She proceeds to go around the room and basically begs each guy to f%ck her. None of the guys would give her the time of day and told her no. She finally gets to me, looks at me for a brief second, says ‘ain’t happening’ and storms off.

I don’t know if that was some weird way of her thinking she was saving face by not actually getting turned down by every guy in the room or if I was somehow already below her low standards. But I do remember that I let it affect me for a long time. I mean at this point in my life I still never had a gf or even kissed a girl and even though I would have told her no as well, it was still a huge blow to my self-esteem to be the only guy not asked.

But life is good and although it took some years after high school, I eventually had a very successful dating life and currently have an amazing and gorgeous gf. So I just kind of look back at it and laugh.

9. Why not just say no thank you?

After chatting for about a month, I asked her out (for the second time):

  • Wanna meet up and hang out somewhere?
  • Yeah yeah, I’d like to meet.
  • Cool, so are you free this day on this week?
  • No
  • How about another day next week?
  • No
  • So maybe the week after? Or after that?
  • No, can’t
  • Okay… So when can we meet?
  • Let me check and get back to you

10 months, 4 days and 5 hours since then and I still haven’t heard from her.

8. She definitely did.

When they couldn’t remember any conversation we previously had, and made the excuse that their phones text history resets every day.

Didn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out she deleted them herself.

7. Rude.

She really only talked to me when she needed something.

This girl always called me more and more when she wanted me to drive her somewhere, and less and less to actually do stuff together.

One time she called me to meet up with her at the mall, so I went. When I met her there the first thing she asks me is if I could drive her to her friend’s place 40 mins away. My jaw dropped. I said I couldn’t, and I left her there. She texts me complaining how she had to take the bus, I never responded and stopped communicating with her. Haven’t heard from her since.

6. “Recoiled in horror.”

When I expressed interest and she recoiled in horror and told me I was embarrassing her.

5. That definitely could have gone worse.

I went to a chick’s apartment once and she had another girlfriend of her’s over and they spent a good amount of time rating dudes on Bumble.

And proceeded to get about 50 matches in the 1.5 hours I was there.

I was like “wtf am I doing here?” then got drunk and left via uber.

4. She just wants out of there.

Closed responses to leading or intuitive chatter. e.g.; just saying “yes”, “no”, “not really”, etc; when asked questions that could easily lead to more conversation.

3. That’s certainly a clue.

I once went on a date with this girl. Bought her dinner. Went downstairs to the bar/nightclub for a drink afterwards.

She ran into some girlfriends and just went over to their table, sat down and started chatting and drinking.

I sat alone for about 20 minutes, then just left without saying anything. Never heard from her again.

2. That’ll do it.

Caught her making out with my manager.

So yeah, I didn’t really think she was the one for me.

1. She’s not really laughing.

When every conversation is abruptly ended by “lol”

I really hate those three letters.

I’m never dating again. Just saying.

If you’re a guy, add something to the list here! I want to hear more.
