What if your partner was cheating…and you simply pretended not to know? Podcaster Dan Savage has coined the term “Tolyamorous” to describe people who tolerate their partner’s infidelity without being in an open relationship. Instead, both parties simply act like nothing is happening. “I’d rather have him and put up with the cheating than not have him at all. I have a wonderful lifestyle, a beautiful house,” 34-year-old wife Laura said. The unusual arrangement is common in relationships where partners don’t want to split up and want to present as monogamous. It can also happen when sex drives don’t match. “‘If I confront him and he agrees to stop the affair, I’ll have to have sex with him again,” 

Parents Name Their 12 Children Using The Same Four Letters: The Daily Record says a Belgian couple, named Gwenny Blanckaert and Marino Vaneeno, have named all 12 of their kids using only the letters A, E, L, and X. The names are  Alex, 15; Axel, 14; Xela, 13; Lexa, 12; Xael, 11; Xeal, 10; Exla, 7; Leax, 6; Xale, 4; Elax, 3; Alxe, 2; and now Laex.  Gwenny says, “:”We named our oldest son after Marino’s stepfather because we thought it was a beautiful name. The name of our second son became Axel and after that we started puzzling. We realized that they were the same letters, so we decided to continue like this. Right from the start we had set the bar at twelve. And we will stick to that. The day that we sit around the table with twelve children, our family is complete.”

Dogs Affected By Owner’s Stress: The Daily Mail says a study from the University of Bristol found that a dog’s behavior is influenced by the smell of stress in human sweat and breath. Dogs become more pessimistic when exposed to stressed-out smells. This also affects their outlook on life. Researchers say dogs are less likely to approach food bowls when exposed to stress. Dr Zoe Parr-Cortes says: ‘As one of our closest companions, dogs have co-evolved alongside humans for thousands of years. This causes dogs to experience a phenomenon called ’emotional contagion’ in which they pick up the moods of their owners.’

Men With Beards May Make Better Partners: A new study in the Archives of Sexual Behavior reveals that men with facial hair are more likely to prioritize long-term relationships and family than clean shaven men.  The research suggests that men with beards show less interest in seeking new relationships but are committed to maintaining existing partnerships and spending time with family. Women find bearded men more attractive for long-term relationships, highlighting the appeal of facial hair in romantic partners. The research involved 414 men, ages 18-40, with varying degrees of facial hair.

A new survey by DatingAdvice.com reveals that Gen Z is shifting away from dating apps and embracing odd hotspots instead. A majority of twentysomething singles would rather meet their potential match at a funeral, protest, hospital, or doctor’s office than through a dating app. A whopping 93% of young men and 88% of young women say they prefer to meet in person rather than on Hinge, Bumble, or Tinder. Study author Amber Brooks says, “Just remember to read the room and be cautious with your approaches. After all, no one visits the doctor expecting to be asked out.”

A 59-year-old Indian man found himself trapped in an elevator for 42 hours while heading to a doctor’s appointment.

In a series of unfortunate events, the alarm bell didn’t work, he dropped his phone and it stopped working, and the lights went out. “I shouted and screamed for help and tried pulling apart the doors with my hands,” Nair said. His family even filed a missing person’s report. Fortunately, he was freed Monday morning when an elevator operator finally arrived.

Some TikTokers are rediscovering cheap, Depression-era desserts. But would you serve guests a water pie? Water Pie does not require milk or eggs, items that were expensive during the 1930s.

After pouring water into the crust along with flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and butter, the liquid-y concoction goes into the oven. Due to the melted sugar and fat from the butter, the pie comes out sliceable. Some chefs spruce up their water pies with citrus, coconut, or cinnamon. Other unusual Depression-era desserts include vinegar pie, wacky cake, and tomato soup cake….. More HERE

The “tip-of-the-tongue phenomemon” takes place when the brain is doing its best to access stored information. It is often an attempt to get a message across by making up a spontaneous placeholder word in the hopes that another person will help. People also use filler words like “um” and “ah” in order to buy time to make the intended word appear in their mind. Some wacky words date as far back as the 1600s, including “Jiggumbob” and “Whiblin.” Other countries also have common placeholder words like “Doomaflitchie,” “Huppeldepup,” and “Dingsdabumsda.”

Michigan man Corey Harris became an internet sensation when he attended a court call while driving with a suspended license. However, there’s a new twist in the case: While Harris has claimed that he didn’t know his license was still suspended, it turns out that he’s never had a license at all. “He has never had a license. Ever. And has never had a license in any of the other 49 states or commonwealths that make up this country,” Washtenaw County District Court Judge J. Cedric Simpson said. When Harris was 19, he applied for his first Michigan I.D., which was not a license. Harris’s license privileges were suspended in 2010 due to unpaid child support, and a judge lifted the suspension in 2022, court records show. However, this applies to the privilege of obtaining a license, and is not a license itself…. More HERE

Please is not the magic word — It’s a strategic weapon: UCLA research suggests that people use the word “please” as a secret weapon. The recent study found that people are more likely to mind their manners when they think someone will say no to their request. Researchers analyzed 17 hours of recorded video. In over 1,000 observed requests, people said “please” just 7% of the time. People were more likely to use the word if someone had declined a similar request in the past, or if the person they were asking was doing something incompatible with the task. For example, asking someone who is busy to do something else. This could also mean that when we hear the word “please,” we might assume the other person thinks we don’t want to help them. “In the wrong context, saying ‘please’ may run the risk of sounding pushy or dubious about another’s willingness to help,” Andrew Chalfoun said….
