America is about to turn 250 years old in a few weeks.  And to celebrate, we are burying a time capsule that won't be opened for another 250 years.     Yep, that's right.  It's called America's Time Capsule, and we won't open it until July 4th, 2276!     As for what goes in the capsule, here's what the director of the project said:  "We wanted all states and territories to be represented, to choose their own objects to submit . . . It has to be sea-to-shining-sea.  It has to be personal."     But there are some rules [...]

The first official day of summer is still a little over a week away, but here's something to think about in the meantime: Are cheap sunglasses doing more harm than good?     The answer, according to eye doctors, is: Maybe.     The price tag doesn't matter as much as the UV protection. The problem is that a lot of those bargain sunglasses darken your vision without blocking harmful ultraviolet light.     And that can actually be WORSE than wearing no sunglasses at all, because your pupils open wider behind the dark lenses and let in more UVs.   [...]

There's a man named Barry Hoffner and he's visited every country on Earth except for one . . . and he says traveling light is the secret to surviving life on the road.     (In case you were wondering, the only country left for him is North Korea . . . but he plans on going soon.)     According to Barry, here are five things you should never leave home without:     1.  A portable power bank.  Barry says, "You never know when you're not going to have electricity."   2.  He also swears by a backpack instead [...]

If you have the time and energy, entertaining young kids isn't hard during the summer. Take them to the pool or to the beach . . . to a rec center or an amusement park . . . or even a neighborhood park.     Teens can be a lot trickier, especially if you want "cool" stuff.     Someone on Threads put together a list of "15 summer traditions to start with a teenager."  (It's a little more wholesome than "cool" . . . so maybe it skews YOUNG teen, pre-16.  Unless your teen WANTS more time with you.)     [...]

Do you put your ketchup in the fridge? Because according to food safety experts, ketchup is perfectly fine sitting in the pantry after you open it.     Here's what a professor of food science had to say about it, "I store my tomato ketchup in the cupboard next to the barbecue sauce . . . It's high in acid, so microbes die off quicker at room temperature compared to in the refrigerator."     Plus, room temperature ketchup pours out a whole lot easier than the cold stuff. And it's not just ketchup . . . soy sauce and some [...]
