42-year-old husband wants to use wife’s travel points to visit his mother who repeatedly harasses his wife: ‘I’m done. I’m not booking his flights. I’m not paying’ #Fun

Most of us are probably familiar with dealing with a relative who you don’t get along with. Whether it’s a sibling, a cousin, a distant aunt, or an in-law, odds are there’s at least someone in your circles who you just don’t see eye to eye with. You hold opposite opinions and values, or maybe you just got off on the wrong foot. Either way, you’re trying to work through it. Maybe you want to just avoid each other whenever you can, though perhaps you’re required to see each other at family gatherings. 

Or maybe you’re trying to build a bridge between you, emphasizing your similarities rather than your differences. Or maybe you’re just trying to ignore them and their effect on you. But sometimes, no matter how hard you try, they get under your skin anyway. Or maybe they use the people closest to you to hurt you.

25+ of the Best Gaming Memes of the Week (June 18, 2025) #Fun

Gamers may be a diverse group, but they can all agree on one thing. They can’t wait to go home right now and game. Being in the middle of a good game is like being in the middle of a good book. You can’t wait to get back to it. You dream of closing your work computer and running home to an extended session of whatever it is you’ve decided to boot up. It’s also kind of like being in love. You daydream about it. You hope someone will bring it up in conversations. You fantasize about all the good times you’ll have together, you and your game. 

It’s like that with any good hobby. If you’re a model train collector, you probably can’t wait to get home to your model trains. If you’re a basketball hobbyist, you probably can’t wait for the next pickup game with your good buddies.

Hail, Holy Queen: Prayer of the Day for Wednesday, June 18, 2025 #Pray

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.

25+ Memes for Goofballs #Fun

I love a good goofball. It’s kind of the best kind of person. I love somebody who doesn’t take anything seriously. The world is filled with so much heaviness and grief that we need people who just want to see the light side of life. We need joke-crackers, silly geese, and people who always say “I hated it” when they’re giving their empty plate back to a server. We need Dad joke-makers, impression-doers, and all-around unserious people. If you don’t have at least one goofball in your friend group, you’re doing life wrong. Hopefully, you have more than one. 

And even better if you are one of them yourself. Life is more fun when you’re a goofball. You’re able to see the humor and anything even when life tries to get you down. You’re quick to a joke and quick to forgive because if you’re laughing, you don’t have room to be angry. I wish everyone was more like that.

26-year-old independent woman refuses to date 39-year-old delivery driver who still lives with his parents, throws an emotional temper tantrum when she breaks up with him: ‘He talks all the time about improving his life but takes no action’ #Fun

There’s nothing wrong with not wanting to date someone because they’re not ambitious enough. It can sound cruel on paper, but you don’t want to be waking up next to someone too lazy to make enough money to support your family in 10 years. It’s essential to identify those red flags early in a relationship so you’re not caught off guard by them later. Some people are perfectly fine with getting with somebody who isn’t particularly ambitious in their career. Many people meet their partners when they’re still young and figuring out their life’s path. That being said, there are times when not hitting certain milestones is a red flag. At 25, I wouldn’t necessarily consider someone who still lives with their parents a “red flag,” especially if they’re making meaningful contributions to their household. But get back to me when I’m 35 or even 30, and I’ll probably be singing a different tune.

Prayer for Employment: Prayer of the Day for Tuesday, June 17, 2025 #Pray

You govern your creation, O God,
and bring it to perfection by the work of our hands.
Hear the prayers of your people who ask for work
that will enhance their human dignity
and promote the upbuilding of your kingdom.
Enable them to provide for those confided to their care
either by family ties or by charity we owe to one another
for the betterment of human life.
We ask this blessing in the name of Jesus
who laboured with his own hands while he lived on earth.

Amen.
