We were sitting at Waffle House, just me and my 5-year-old son, Josiah, when he spotted a man standing outside. His clothes were worn, his face tired, and he carried everything he owned in a small, tattered bag. “Mom,” Josiah whispered, tugging at my sleeve. “Who is that?” I glanced over. “I think he might be homeless, sweetheart.” Josiah’s little face scrunched in confusion. “What does that mean?” “It means he doesn’t have a home,” I explained softly. “And he might not have food either.” That was all it took. Before I could stop him, Josiah jumped out of his…
As an adult, I decided to impart this brilliant method to my baby girl. I figured she could use it to get out of sleepovers or if she had awkward hangouts. But I never imagined her needing to use it so soon. So yesterday was like any other day—or so I thought. As I sat in my kitchen, finishing my evening coffee, my phone rang. It was my ex-husband, Dave. Our relationship, once filled with warmth and affection, had grown strained over the years. Divorce had a way of doing that, and while we tried to maintain a civil relationship…
Fifteen years ago, my wife, Lisa, kissed our newborn son and left to buy diapers. But she never returned. Last week, I saw her alive and well in a supermarket. What happened next was something I’ll never forget. I had spent the past 15 years searching for closure, raising my son Noah, and trying to make sense of Lisa’s disappearance. But nothing prepared me for the moment I saw her again. A man standing in a supermarket | Source: Midjourney At first, I thought I was dreaming. But after observing for a few minutes, I knew it was her. She…
A teenager has broken the world record for having the hairiest face. Lalit Patidar from India has an extremely rare condition called hypertrichosis, known as werewolf syndrome. There’s only been around 50 recorded cases of someone having the unique condition since the Middle Ages, says Guinness World Records, making Lalit a one in a billion. To assess Lalit, the 18-year-old had to travel to Milan, Italy, to visit a trichologist and starred on the TV show, Lo Show dei Record. It was then determined that he had a 201.72 hairs per square centimeter of skin, thus breaking the world record for a having the hairiest…
President Donald Trump has allegedly spent a hefty amount of taxpayers’ money on improving his sporting capabilities since returning to office earlier this year. Since being sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, Trump, 78, has hosted a disastrous meeting at the White House with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and appointed Elon Musk to head up the Department of Government Efficiency. He had also claimed his presidential victory over Democratic ticket Kamala Harris was a ‘mandate’; is willing to release a ‘suspicious’ report on assassination attempts made against him, and recently signed an executive order establishing a controversial…
You might have been left wondering what Canada has against Jack Daniel’s. Earlier his month, The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) announced that it was removing US drinks from shop shelves — a threat Ontario premier Douglas Ford first made back in January. A statement from the LCBO issued at the time of its decision read that it had ‘ceased the purchase of all US products’, adding that ‘retail customers are no longer able to purchase US products on lcbo.com and the LCBO app, and wholesale customers, including grocery and convenience stores, bars, restaurants, and other retailers, are no longer able to place…
Centipedes are one of the ugliest creepy crawlers found indoors, with their squishy bodies and long legs, and when you see one on your basement ceiling you probably have the urge to kill that sucker. But you might want to consider setting that centipede free instead because it could actually come in handy. Why You Should Not Kill a Centipede Centipedes eat other uglier creepy crawlers such as ants, spiders, bed bugs, cockroaches, and silverfish; in fact, they’ll eat any arthropod pests. They are not poisonous or dangerous so you are not putting yourself at any risk in keeping them around. That being said,…
Finding diapers in my teenage son’s backpack left me speechless. When I followed him after school, what I discovered sent a shiver down my spine. It also forced me to face a truth about myself I’d been avoiding for years. My alarm went off at 5:30 a.m., the same as every weekday for the past decade. I was showered, dressed, and answering emails before the sun came up. By 7:00 a.m., I was in the kitchen, making coffee while scrolling through the day’s meetings. “Morning, Mom,” Liam mumbled, shuffling into the kitchen in his school sweatshirt. “Morning, honey,” I said,…
The other day my dad went to see his doctor. My dad was scheduled to receive results from his latest blood test, but they didn’t turn out as he had hoped. The doctor told my dad that he had high cholesterol. A previous test had revealed he also had high blood pressure. High cholesterol and high blood pressure are contributors toward clogged arteries. Your arteries are blood vessels responsible for the transportation of oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. A normal artery will be strong, flexible, and elastic. On the other hand, progressive clogging of the arteries is…
