25 Memes to Browse Before Hitting The Hay #Fun

We are all living in a golden age of mattress technology. I take it for granted that I can order a mattress right to my apartment in a box without going to a mattress store and have no problems with it. I am forever grateful that I was brought into this world after water beds went out of style. I have seen Edward Scissorhands, and I’m not confident that a similar situation would not happen to me if I had a bed filled with water (I can be a little clumsy with my scissors, what can I say?)

I take it even more for granted that I’m sleeping in a bed at all! To be honest, all this reflection is making me realize how comfy my life is. I could be sleeping on the floor every night! I could be sleeping on a bushel of hay in a barn. I’m grateful I get to roll over in my full bed from Wayfair every night, and if you feel similarly, you can enjoy even more abundance with these funny memes

The world as we know it can be an isolating place, where we’re each secluded to our own internet bubbles. It’s easy for anyone to feel caught between the real world and the online world these days. We spend so much of our time online that it can start to feel more like home than the physical one in which we live. The internet is where your friends are, where your entertainment lives, and how you engage with culture. And this can create a deep sense of loneliness when you set down your phone and it’s all gone.

Strange story of the Chronovisor that took a photo of Jesus Christ #Paranormal

The concept of time travel is considered a very fascinating topic for most people. The ability to move back and forth in time can give rise to many possibilities. However, this mystery is likely to become even more mysterious if someone claims to have witnessed an important historical event by going back in time using a time travel machine. We are talking about a certain invention called Chronovisor, with the help of which, allegedly, scenes from the life of Jesus Christ were captured on photographic film. And now this device, as it is believed, is kept in the Vatican in…

The Not-So-Great Gatsby

One hundred years ago, on April 10, 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald celebrated the publication of what he considered to be his greatest work of literature, The Great Gatsby. He had high hopes for the novel’s success in both sales and critical reception. “It will sell about 80,000 copies,” he supposed, “but I may be wrong.” In fact, he was wrong twice.

Can We Truly Bring Back Extinct Species—Or Just Hi-Tech Copies? #Paranormal

From dire wolves to woolly mammoths, the idea of resurrecting extinct species has captured the public imagination. Colossal Biosciences, the Dallas-based biotech company leading the charge, has made headlines for ambitious efforts to bring back long-lost animals using cutting edge genetic engineering. It recently announced the birth of pups with key traits of dire wolves, an iconic predator last seen roaming North America more than 10,000 years ago. This followed on the heels of earlier project announcements focused on the woolly mammoth and the thylacine. This all fuels a sense that de-extinction is not only possible but imminent. But as…

26-year-old boyfriend doesn’t want girlfriend to join him on vacation to Florida since she can’t afford it, she says she’ll ask money-insecure father instead: ‘I know her family is struggling’ #Fun

Relationships are usually imbalanced in some way. One of you might be older or younger and have more or less life experience. You might come from different educational backgrounds and thus have access to different kinds of jobs. One of you might be more attractive than the other and thus experience the world a little differently. And one of you might make more money than the other. That seems to be the most common kind of imbalance in a relationship. After all, who is making exactly the same amount as their partner forever?

These imbalances are inevitable. The way you navigate these imbalances, though, is what’s worth considering. If you’re on the same page as partners and are comfortable communicating with each other, then everything else should be okay. But this is easier said than done, especially when there are tender feelings surrounding certain subjects. That’s what happened in this situation, where a couple found themselves disagreeing about money.

60-year-old mom flips out after daughter forbids her from babysitting her child because of her weight: ‘She can’t walk 2 city blocks without sitting, can’t do any stairs, can’t fly unless she buys two seats’ #Fun

Judgmental as the world can be when a person is not the size that is expected of them, it cannot be denied that there are usually physical limitations on what an individual can do when they reach a certain number on the scale. One of the sacrifices of being beyond a certain weight is that some things that would otherwise be considered normal become out of the realm of possibility. They are neither practical nor safe.

While losing weight is a battle that is much easier said than done, after a point, it is the only real solution for a person who is missing out on the things that they care about because of their size. Sometimes, the motivation to do this doesn’t come until an unpleasant wakeup call. Even then, many are reluctant to admit that there may be an issue, and it isn’t just themselves who they affect with that.

37-year-old boyfriend refuses to contribute to girlfriend’s mortgage despite him living there full-time: ‘I pay almost 00 in mortgage and all the bills are under my name’ #Fun

Sometimes, when you’re with someone for a long time, you might find that you sort of accidentally live with them. You’re spending the night most nights, and you realize it has been weeks since you’ve been home. You didn’t talk about moving in together, but you just sort of do. And this can happen under your nose despite all your best intentions. And it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Maybe you wanted to live together anyway and now you can do so without the pressure of putting a label on it and making it a big deal. You can be low-key about it.

The problem arises, though, when you start to think about money. Why is it always money that gums up the works? If we all had enough of it, then maybe everything would be okay. But we live in the real world and that’s not going to happen.

Augustus Koch’s Views From Above #Map

Among our collection of “bird’s-eye view” maps of U.S. and Canadian cities created from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, the work Augustus Koch in particular stands out for his artistry, geographic range, and incredible cartographic detail. His maps and historical newspaper clippings relating to his work attest not only to his mastery of the form but the value of panoramic maps in instilling civic pride.
