The bigger you are, the faster your metabolism is. Hard to believe, huh?
Myth: Thinner people have a higher metabolism. Some people seem to be able to eat as much of any kind of food as they like and not gain weight. Is this because they have a naturally faster metabolism? Actually, many thinner individuals have slower resting metabolisms than larger people. However, the number of calories burned per day is most affected by the amount of muscle a person has. Muscles burn calories. According to research, boosting strength training helps accelerate weight loss much faster than diet alone.
Here's another one: Eating several small meals will boost metabolism. It’s become common to hear that eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day is better for weight loss than the traditional breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Where metabolism is concerned, how often you eat has little to do with the speed of your metabolism. The reason eating smaller meals more often helps with weight loss is because eating more frequently curbs cravings and lowers your hunger cues, which helps you make better choices on the quantity and kind of foods you eat. Go figure, huh? Both are pretty much 180 degrees from what we've come to believe over the years...

"I knew how some rivalries started - didn't know about this one...
The origin of RC Cola and its decades-long reign as a contender in the soft drink market is a bit of a David-and-Goliath story. Introduced in 1905, the brand traces its roots to a quietly rebellious grocer. A mild-mannered pharmacist by trade, Claud Hatcher was the owner of two drug stores in Georgia when he decided to shutter the pharmacies and join his father's Columbus-based wholesale grocery business.
At the time, Coca-Cola was all the rage. Back then, the soft drink, introduced in 1886 by Dr. John S. Pemberton, was sold to grocers in syrup form (remember old-school soda fountains?). The grocers, in turn, combined the syrup with carbonated water to create soda. Some businesses, including the Hatcher Grocery Company, distributed bottled Coca-Cola to customers at cost as a loyalty perk. By carefully guarding the secret formula for the syrup — still a closely held recipe even today — Coca-Cola had distributors like Claud Hatcher and his father, Lucius, on the ropes.
Fed up with increasing prices, the younger Hatcher decided to create his own soft drink syrups, experimenting with flavors and recipes in the basement of the Hatcher Grocery Company. First up, Royal Crown Ginger Ale. But Claud didn't stop there. He kept combining and tasting flavors until he had a fully developed line of fruit-flavored carbonated soft drinks. He named the brand Melo. Even though Hatcher's debut soda wasn't actually a cola-flavored soft drink, the basement of the family grocery business was where it all began.
Hay there Miss HillBetty. Are you real?

It may be a little 'shady', but fuck if it didn't work...
New York cops disguised themselves as construction workers and doled out nearly 1,000 tickets to unsuspecting drivers last month. State troopers in coordination with Department of Transportation conducted Operation Hard Hat from April 20 through April 24 on the New York Thruway, setting up 12 enforcement details within active work zones, according to New York State Police.
Some of the troopers donned orange helmets and safety vests while camping out in Westchester and Rockland counties to trick drivers into thinking there were no police officers nearby.

She wants to 'change the country'. What a frightening thought...
Democratic 'strategist' David Axelrod directly asked Ocasio-Cortez whether she planned to run for either while he hosted a conversation at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics. "What’s funny is they assume my ambition is a title or a seat,” the Bronx US House representative replied. “My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go. Senate, House seats, elected officials come and go.
“But single-payer healthcare is forever,” she added, in reference to the kind of national healthcare platform she has long supported over the private system in the US.
Ocasio-Cortez then ran through a litany of her other signature policy positions, saying: “A living wage is forever, workers’ rights are forever, women’s rights, all of that, and so anyways, to a finer point to your question is that when you aren’t attached, when you haven’t been like fantasizing about being this or that since the time you were seven years old, it is tremendously liberating.”
AOC might do well to ask the people in Canada and the UK how they feel about their 'single-payer', government run healthcare works. The average wait time to see a primary care doctor in Canada and the UK is not good. In 2026, the average wait time for a primary care doctor (general practitioner/GP) is often measured by immediate availability or within a few days for urgent needs, but routine appointments can take longer, particularly in the UK. Data indicates approximately 19 days for a routine GP appointment in England, while in Canada, while primary care is generally faster than specialized care, however, finding a regular family doctor is the primary challenge.

Why do Black and Gay folks get a full month but Mothers only get one day?
The one thing I'm most proud of about my Mom is that after she was done kicking me in the ass, dressing me in funny outfits growing up and making me eat liver and onions more than once, is the fact that, at some point about when I got married, she and I became very good friends. Maybe even my best friend. That's cerrtainly soemthing worth honoring today...

Wildwood, 1955...
On the boards, down the shore with my Mom, Sophie and my two brothers - Big Bob on left and TJ struttin' his stuff on the right. For whatever reason, Mom was constantly putting my in to different costumes and outfits. That may well say a lot about where I am today. Happy Mother's Day to alla y'all Muthas...
