NATIONAL BOOCH DAY – NATIONAL HAT DAY – NATIONAL STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM DAY
The Four-Day Work Week Is Coming For Us
There’s something we’ve been dreaming about ever since we started our five-day weeks in elementary school – three-day weekends, every weekend. It used to be a dream reserved for holidays and common colds on a Monday. But with employers starting to care more and more about the well-being of their employees, more companies are adopting the four-day work week.
The best part? Many of the companies that do this are allowing their employees to choose which day to take off. Fridays proved common, but Wednesdays were the favorite, giving people a “mid-weekend” to look forward to in the middle of their weeks. Not only does the trend allow people a break in their weeks, but it gives people a more realistic timeframe to take up their own projects and side hustles.
And seriously? We’re such grinders these days, we’re fitting five days of work into just four days anyway. It’s about time we got paid that way!

Dating Trends: Prowling
One of the most frustrating of the dating trends is making its rounds. Strap in, folks, because this one’s worse than ghosting. “Prowling” is the term for when someone is super hot and super cold when it comes to showing interest in you. One day, they’re showering you with love and affection, and the next, they’re MIA.
It’s not even over after that! They’ve ghosted you for a period of time, and then they come back in a blaze of glory, showering you in love all over again. What gives!? These prowlers are way more hassle than their worth. Chances are, if you fall into the trap of their little love fests, you’ll only get hurt down the road. Better to cut them off the second you recognize their crappy behavior!
Prowlers don’t always know what they’re up to, their feelings just genuinely change with the seasons (sometimes WAY more often than that). But all you can do is know you’re worth more than some loser who doesn’t know what s/he wants!

In fact a person only has to make $81,038 to fall into the rich category. Plus, in Mississippi, median top-tier homes cost only about $218,000, while the state has the overall lowest cost of living in the U.S.

We Could Have Super Hero Babies Soon
Have you heard about the ability to alter genetics in order to get you a baby with blue eyes. Well, research such as the Human Genome Project has now “mapped” genes linked to a host of human traits including eye color, athletic ability, IQ, and aggression. Even criminals have used this kind of technology as a defense in a court of law, saying their genetics made them do it. The fear is that there might be some rogue scientists around the world who will use this technology to create superhuman babies. This fear was even brought up by the late Stephen Hawking before he passed away. Now scientists are warning against the possibility of superhuman babies with superhuman abilities.
