Do you ever fight this battle at work:  You think you'd get more done if your desk was organized . . . but also, you have zero interest in organizing your desk? In a survey, 84% of people say they feel more productive if their workspace is organized, whether that's at an office . . . a workshop . . . a retail setting . . . an operating room . . . or working remotely at home. For remote workers, 59% like to work from a desk at their home, while 18% "change spots" throughout the day . . [...]

The internet is a SUPER WEIRD place sometimes, especially when it comes to memes. There's a meme on social media, where people are posting this:  "[Blank] would be a beautiful name for a baby girl."  But it ISN'T a beautiful name, it's an absurd name.  Like, "Ponderosa."  (???) If you're wondering WHY . . . well, you're asking too much of the internet. Here are some of the "best" ones: 1.  "Activia would be a beautiful name for a baby girl." 2.  "Ramen would be a beautiful name for a baby girl." 3.  "Sega Dreamcast would be a beautiful name for a [...]

What is your approach when you're packing suitcases for a trip:  Pack as lightly as possible to limit the stuff you have to lug around with you . . . or cram as much of your closet into your luggage as possible? There's a new survey out on Americans' packing habits, it found that there's one part of the country that is PACKED with OVERPACKERS . . . Pennsylvania. For a seven-day trip, the average Pennsylvanian will pack:  10 shirts / tops . . . seven pants / bottoms . . . three pieces of formalwear . . . three sets [...]

If you're originally from Philly . . . well, actually, YOU'RE NOT.  At least not according to Facebook and Instagram the past few days. A weird glitch removed "Philadelphia" as an option last week.  People noticed it wasn't their "hometown" anymore, and they couldn't add it back in either. If you tried to add Philadelphia as your hometown or current city, your only options were things like Philadelphia, Mississippi.  The only choice in Pennsylvania was the small town of New Philadelphia, about 90 miles outside the city. It affected businesses too.  Their address on Instagram didn't have the city anymore and [...]

Have you ever noticed the dusty stuff on packaged shredded cheese?  It's always there . . . whether you see it or not . . . and it's an anti-caking agent.  It keeps the shreds from sticking and lumping together. Different companies use different methods.  Kraft uses cornstarch . . . Tillamook uses potato starch . . . Sargento uses powdered cellulose, which is "refined wood pulp" . . . Lucerne uses both tapioca and potato starch.  Other anti-caking agents can include calcium sulfate, which is a component in cement. That sounds questionable, but they're all food-safe in small amounts.  Still, [...]

Some places don't accept American Express . . . some don't accept cash . . . and THIS PLACE didn't accept METH. A 40-year-old man in Colorado named Eugene Robertson was found guilty of multiple charges . . . including a bizarre interaction at a Burger King in 2022. He'd gone through the drive-thru . . . and offered to pay with a baggie of drugs instead of money.  The employee refused, so Eugene pulled a gun on him. He didn't shoot . . . and drove off.  Then, he tried pulling a similar stunt at a 7-Eleven across the street. [...]
