It's pretty chilly across the country right now.  And there's a cold-weather hack going viral, courtesy of the NFL.   In the Rams-Bears pre-game on Sunday, they mentioned some of the Rams players were putting CAYENNE PEPPER in their socks.  (???)  It's supposed to keep your feet warm. But does it really work?   The answer is apparently . . . YES.  Experts say it really can make a difference.   (For what it's worth, the Rams won in overtime . . . on a kick, no less.)   Capsaicin is what makes peppers spicy.  If you rub it on your skin, [...]

It's 2026, and maybe we don't have flying cars . . . but we DO have some incredible innovations that no one could have envisioned 75 years ago.  Like Labubus.     A blog collected a list of 10 "hilariously wrong predictions" from the 1950s, and they include:     1.  Jetpacks were supposed to be everywhere.  Some designers thought jetpacks would be as ordinary as bicycles, not just sci-fi gimmicks.     2.  A hose would replace housecleaning.  One science writer thought there would be a future where cleaning involved hoses and hot air instead of brooms.  And houses that [...]

According to my horoscope, I'm supposed to avoid stress . . . so naturally every store I enter is playing a 10-minute remix of "Jingle Bell Rock".  The "New York Post" matched the vibes of various Christmas songs and zodiac signs . . . to show the song that "sings to your spirit". . . through your sign.     It's unclear what all went into these, so let's just roll with it:     Aries (March 21st to April 19th) . . . "Father Christmas" by The Kinks.   Quote, "Aries is punk rock energy . . . coming out [...]

Today is National Christmas Card Day, which is a helpful last-minute reminder that if you're planning on getting holiday cards out in time this year, you REALLY have to get a move on.     If you're new to this . . . or if it's been a while . . . Time.com has an article out on "How to Write the Perfect Holiday Card."  Here are the highlights:     1.  Decide what kind of card you want to send.  What do you hope it will accomplish:  Do you want to deliver general holiday cheer? Express gratitude? Reconnect with old friends?  [...]

Every winter, the same debate pops up.  How warm should you keep your house?     When it starts getting cold, do you grab a blanket first?  Or do you go straight to the thermostat and turn up the heat?  Which person are you?     (I put on wool socks AND turn up the heat.)     But did you know there's a magic number for your thermostat in the winter?     The U.S. Department of Energy says the sweet spot is 68 degrees when you're awake.  And when you're asleep or out of the house, they recommend dropping [...]

These last few months of the year are filled with leftover Halloween candy . . . then gravy . . . then sweets.  But maybe that weight we're all gaining ISN'T our fault?     The site "Study Finds" has an article on how cold weather MAKES us crave food.  Some of it comes down to our biology, not a lack of willpower.     The average person gains one to two pounds during the coldest months of the year.  And it's partly because your body just WANTS to.     Cold weather triggers hormonal changes that make you hungrier, and [...]
