Talk about taking pettiness to a whole new level! After a bitter divorce, a strip club owner decided to get revenge on his ex-wife in the most outrageous way possible. He bought the house right next door to hers—and then spent $7,000 on a giant middle finger statue to display in the yard, aimed directly at her home. The towering statue, complete with floodlights so it’s visible day and night, has become a viral sensation. Locals say the gesture is impossible to miss, and while some neighbors find it hilarious, others think it’s childish and disrespectful. The ex-wife, understandably upset, has called the move harassment, while the man insists it’s just his way of “expressing himself.” Regardless of where you stand, the stunt has sparked endless debate about how far is too far when it comes to getting back at an ex. Revenge may be sweet, but in this case, it’s also 7 feet tall and made of stone…..More HERE

A study at the University of Arizona and came to the conclusion that no, you can’t be happily friends with an ex. Apparently every contact you have with an ex – including texts, phone calls, and e-mails – makes you 1% more miserable.

“Quiet Dumping”…it’s basically a new version of ghosting but sneakier. Instead of just disappearing, the person slowly pulls back: less texting, less intimacy, fewer real conversations. If you’ve ever done that… there’s a name for you now, a quiet dumper! But the twist is, they don’t officially break up with you… they’re hoping you notice and end it…so they don’t have to.

Quiet Weddings Are Trending: PureWow says Quiet Weddings are trending. Couples are opting for small, intimate weddings over lavish affairs. The shift is being driven by financial constraints and a desire for more personal celebrations. The move represents a generational shift towards intimacy.

A 13-year-old kid in Kansas mowed lawns all summer to save up and buy a dirt bike. Then it turned out the bike he bought was STOLEN. So he had to give it back and was out all that money. But there’s a happy ending. The guy the bike belonged to started a GoFundMe to get him an even better dirt bike. People online have donated almost $5,000 to help him out….. More HERE

Doctors Recommending “Nappuccinos”: NBC says sleep doctors are now recommending coffee before a power nap. A “nappuccino” involves consuming coffee before a 20-30 minute nap. The “nappuccino” enhances alertness, concentration and energy levels.The caffeine clears adenosine build-up in the brain, providing a double boost of refreshment. The recommended nap time is during the midday slump between 1 and 3 p.m.  Doctors say the order and timing of a nappuccino are key. The nap should be no longer than 30 minutes because the caffeine kicks in right at that time. If you sleep for any longer, you’ll feel groggy when you wake up.

Mondays Are Bad For Your Health: The NY Post says Mondays are bad for your health. New research from the University of Hong Kong reveals that anxiety on Mondays leads to higher cortisol levels. This can harm your overall health. Experts advise conducting a weekly stress inventory to identify and manage sources of anxiety.  Professor  Modupe Akinola says, ‘’Monday anxiety was the only day linked to a lasting cortisol spike likely because the day carries a sense of “uncertainty, danger or dread. There is something effortful about Mondays — you have to get up, get dressed, get focused, deal with traffic, when over the weekend you typically don’t deal with these things. All of those extra demands that come on Monday make it feel like you may not have the resources to cope … and your body’s stress system is telling you to get ready to battle.”

Owning A Dog May Not Make You Happy: The Daily Mail says owning a dog may not make you happier. A recent study by Budapest’s Eötvös Loránd University reveals that dog ownership can lead to increased anxiety instead of joy.  Researchers found that the initial boost in cheerfulness from getting a new pet, especially a dog, only lasts up to four months. The demands of pet care, vet bills and disobedience may outweigh the initial benefits for many dog owners. The study suggests that the widely held belief that pet ownership leads to lasting improvements in well-being may not always be true.
