Myspace is Planning a Comeback… and Tom Might be Waiting for Your Friend Request

Aug 4, 2026 | Internet, Show | 0 comments

If the sight of Tom instantly transported you back to customizing your profile with glitter graphics, auto-playing songs, and carefully arranging your Top 8 friends, you’re not alone.

More than 20 years after Myspace changed social media forever, the platform’s owners say it’s getting another shot at life.

Tim and Chris Vanderhook, who purchased Myspace in 2011, have confirmed they’re planning a relaunch. In a new documentary simply titled Myspace, Tim says the company is “waiting for the right time” before bringing the iconic platform back.

This isn’t the first revival attempt. After acquiring Myspace, the brothers tried transforming it into a music-focused destination, but the effort struggled as advertisers and users flocked to Facebook and other emerging social media platforms.

Still, Myspace left a lasting mark on internet culture. Long before influencers, algorithms and endless scrolling, Myspace gave users complete control over their pages. You could personalize nearly everything, discover new music, and connect with artists. In fact, singer Adele has credited Myspace with helping launch her career after a friend uploaded one of her demos.

No timeline has been announced for the relaunch, and it’s anyone’s guess what a modern Myspace will look like.

One thing is certain: if Tom is still your first friend, he may soon be welcoming millions of people back. The only question is whether anyone still remembers their login… or how to code a profile with HTML.

Thanksgiving Turkey Cooking: Top 7 Methods Most Recommended by Experts

Nov 20, 2025 | Dining, Holidays, Show | 0 comments

Top 7 Methods Most Recommended by Experts

Here are the best ways to cook your turkey according to the foodies:

  1. Roasting
    The classic move. Experts still swear by roasting, whether you cook the bird whole or break it into parts for faster, more even results. A meat thermometer is key—don’t trust wiggly drumsticks or “clear juices.” Cutting the turkey up before roasting also frees precious oven space for all those sides.

  2. Braising
    If dry turkey is your seasonal nemesis, braising brings the fix. Simmering pieces in broth or cider delivers tender, fall-apart meat and next-level leftovers. Some experts even mix roasting and braising for peak juiciness.

  3. Wet Brining
    A salty soak infuses deep flavor and guarantees moisture. It’s not technically a cooking method, but pros insist it transforms lean turkey into a juicy, well-seasoned bird after 12–24 hours.

  4. Spatchcocking
    Remove the backbone, flatten the bird, and boom—faster cooking, crispier skin, and more even heat. It’s a favorite for cutting time without sacrificing flavor.

  5. Dry Brine
    Skip the bucket of liquid and rub salt and spices directly onto the skin. After 24–48 hours, you get deeper flavor and crackling skin with less mess.

  6. Smoker
    Low-and-slow smoking delivers big flavor, tender meat, and frees up the oven. Wood chips let you play with taste profiles.

  7. Grill
    Take the turkey outside and treat the grill like an oven. You get smoke, crisp skin, and extra kitchen space—plus a little peace and quiet.

Your Pet’s Microchip May Not Work Now

Feb 12, 2025 | Show, Sports, Television/Streaming | 0 comments

After a national pet microchip and registration company shut down, pet owners are being encouraged to reregister their pet’s microchip.

The Texas-based microchip and registration company Save This Life went inactive, according to Texas tax records. Calls to the phone number listed on its website lead to an out of service message. Pets listed on Save This Life’s pet registry were delisted from the American Animal Hospital Association’s national database.

The American Animal Hospital Association keeps a central database of all the chip numbers.  But pets registered through Save This Life aren’t in it anymore.

The good news is your pet’s microchip is fine.  You just have to re-register it through another company.  A few do it for free.  Others charge around $20.

Your vet might have your pet’s chip number on file, or they can scan it.  If you have it written down, you can check it yourself at AAHA.org.  All the bad chips start with one of these two numbers:  991 or 900164.

A pet microchip, about the size of a large grain of rice, uses passive radio-frequency identification (RFID). When lost pets are brought to shelters, a scanner can get the information on the microchip and allow the shelter workers to identify the pet owner.

Pet owners can check with their veterinarian, many of whom have scanners and records of the pet’s microchip.

While Save This Life has gone dark, the microchip would still work. That number can be registered in more than one database.

6 Things Parents Should Stop Expecting From Their Grown Children

Feb 10, 2025 | Show, Sports, Television/Streaming | 0 comments

Congrats, parents! You raised fully functioning adults. But if you’re still expecting them to follow your rulebook, you might be setting yourself up for disappointment. Let’s be real—times change, people grow, and clinging to outdated expectations only pushes them away.
 
1. To live the same way as you
Just because you love a suburban lawn and 7 a.m. church doesn’t mean they do. They’re not your clones—let them live their lives.
 
2. To share your opinions
Times have changed. They aren’t interested in hearing how things were “better back in the day.” Respect their views, or get ready to be ignored.
 
3. To uphold family traditions without change
That annual Thanksgiving dinner at your house? Yeah, that might not be a thing forever. New traditions aren’t a betrayal—just life moving forward.
 
4. To always spend time with you
They have jobs, partners, and social lives. You don’t need to see them every holiday. Missing a dinner doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten you exist.
 
5. To express gratitude a certain way
You raised them out of love, not for payback. Stop expecting a standing ovation for doing what parents are supposed to do.
 
6. To take care of you as you age
Your kid isn’t your retirement plan. Get a financial advisor instead of assuming they’ll put their life on hold to be your personal nurse.
 
Final Thought
Want a close relationship? Ditch the guilt trips, drop the expectations, and enjoy them as adults—not extensions of yourself.

America’s “Perfect Day”

Feb 7, 2025 | Health, Home, Relationships, Show | 0 comments

If you had a totally free day to do whatever you wanted, how would you spend it?  A new poll looked at what America’s “perfect day” would look like.  And we wouldn’t do anything special . . . just a whole lot of relaxing.
 
Here’s the full breakdown of what our perfect day would look like:
 
  • 6 hours and 54 minutes of sleep
  • 2 hours of eating
  • 3 hours of family time
  • 1 hour and 24 minutes hanging out with friends
  • 1 hour and 6 minutes hanging with pets
  • 3 hours and 6 minutes watching TV
  • 1 hour and 24 minutes spent on hobbies
  •  1 hour 30 minutes messing around on our phone.
  • 48 minutes of exercise
  • 48 minutes spent shopping
  • A 42-minute nap.  That’s on top of the seven hours of sleep you got.
  • And finally, 1 hour and 18 minutes spent listening to music.
The average person expects to have 16 perfect days in 2025, which isn’t too bad.  It’s around one perfect day every three weeks.

Four Ways to Find a Great Bottle of Wine for Cheap

Feb 13, 2024 | Dining, Home, Show | 0 comments

Feeling lost amidst the sea of wine choices? You’re not alone. With countless options vying for attention, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But fear not, because help is at hand. We’ve consulted a wine expert to bring you insider tips on how to make the right choice every time.

1. Say No to Mass-Market Brands:
Ever noticed certain wine brands dominating the shelves? Brands like Barefoot, Yellowtail, and Josh might seem ubiquitous, but don’t let their popularity fool you. Often, these brands prioritize marketing over quality. Instead of falling for the hype, explore lesser-known labels for hidden treasures that deliver on taste, not just advertising dollars.

2. Sweet Nothings:
When it comes to wine labels, the word “sweet” can be a red flag. It often indicates added sugar, compromising the wine’s integrity. For those who prefer a hint of sweetness, opt for wines labeled “off dry.” These wines retain a subtle sweetness naturally, adding depth without artificial enhancements.

3. Beware of Gimmicks:
Don’t be swayed by fancy marketing gimmicks like “bourbon-barrel aged” or boasting about “natural flavors.” These tactics can often mask inferior quality. Instead, focus on wines that showcase the true essence of the grapes, without unnecessary additives or shortcuts.

4. Explore Beyond California:
While California wines may steal the spotlight, don’t overlook other regions producing exceptional offerings. Washington state is gaining recognition for its quality wines, offering a refreshing alternative to West Coast favorites. Venture further south to South America, where countries like Argentina and Chile are producing remarkable wines at affordable prices.

Armed with these expert insights, you’ll navigate the wine aisle with confidence, bypassing the noise to discover true gems that tantalize the taste buds. Cheers to exploring the world of wine with a discerning palate and an adventurous spirit!

Insomnia Is Killing Your Sex Life

Jan 23, 2024 | Health, Show | 0 comments

A recent study suggests that insomnia in women might be snoozing their satisfaction in the bedroom. Yep, turns out lack of quality sleep might be a buzzkill for the ladies.

The research, from Elevier’s Journal of Psychosomatic Research, reveals that over half of women wrestling with insomnia struggle to reach that grand finale. On the flip side, only a third of well-rested women face similar issues. For the men, 23 percent report problems in the climax department.

Dr. Wilfred Pigeon from the University of Rochester says that women bear the brunt with twice the rate of both sleep troubles and bedroom blues compared to men.

Experts recommend a solid 6 to 8 hours of quality sleep, which is often easier said than done. Need solutions? Dim those lights, stash the smartphones, and maybe skip the steamy movies before bedtime. And hey, if you’re still struggling, therapy, melatonin, or even a crossword puzzle might be your ticket to dreamland.

Whether you’re counting sheep or seeking satisfaction, a good night’s sleep might just be the key to sweet dreams in more ways than one!

Cracking the Egg Debate: Debunking Myths and Embracing Nutrition

Dec 1, 2023 | Health, Show | 1 comment

Eggs have had a tumultuous journey in the realm of nutrition, often caught in the crossfire of debates concerning their health benefits versus their detrimental impact on cholesterol levels. Their status as a versatile, cost-effective source of protein has long been countered by concerns over their fat and cholesterol content. So, are eggs truly a dietary ally or an enemy to be avoided?

The controversy surrounding eggs traces back to the late 1960s when the American Heart Association (AHA) sparked a nationwide discourse by recommending limited egg consumption due to its potential link to increased cholesterol levels and, consequently, heart disease risk. This led to a decline in egg consumption and the industry’s struggles to rehabilitate its image. However, subsequent research over the years has thrown conflicting evidence into the mix, causing confusion among consumers and scientists alike.

A pivotal turn came in 2018 when a review challenged the established belief that dietary cholesterol significantly impacted heart health. Instead, the focus shifted toward saturated and trans fats as primary culprits. Yet, the seesaw of conflicting studies persisted, with a 2019 report suggesting a significant correlation between egg consumption and heightened heart disease risk.

Amidst these scientific flip-flops, a prevailing viewpoint has emerged: moderate egg consumption for most individuals appears to pose minimal risks to cholesterol levels. It’s essential to recognize that dietary nuances, such as overall diet composition and lifestyle factors, play integral roles in health outcomes.

Eggs, packed with vital nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and various B vitamins, offer a nutrient-dense profile beneficial to overall health. They also boast minerals like selenium, molybdenum, magnesium, and heart-healthy fats, along with choline, a crucial nutrient supporting brain and nervous system functions.

Ultimately, incorporating eggs sensibly within a balanced diet—complemented by fiber-rich fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—can promote overall well-being without unduly raising cholesterol levels. The key lies in moderation and the holistic composition of one’s dietary choices.

So, crack that egg open, savor its nutritional bounty, and embrace its place within a diverse and wholesome diet regimen.

Embracing Relationships with an Expiration Date: A Modern Perspective on Love and Commitment

Many of us have grown up with the notion that love is eternal, perpetuated by fairy tales where finding our soulmate meant spending a lifetime together. Yet, as we navigate the complexities of modern life, the conventional narrative of everlasting love is being challenged. With divorce rates at around 50% in industrialized countries and a significant portion of adults grappling with intimacy and long-term relationships, a new perspective on love is emerging.

One groundbreaking relationship trend stirring interest is the concept of a time-capped relationship – an arrangement with a predetermined end date agreed upon by both partners. While unconventional, such relationships offer unique opportunities and experiences that can be mutually rewarding. Here are three compelling reasons why exploring a relationship with an expiration date might be worth considering.

1. Divergent Paths in Life: The fast pace of contemporary life often sees individuals pursuing diverse career paths or educational opportunities that lead them in different directions. In such scenarios, a time-capped relationship can alleviate the anxiety of an uncertain future together. Instead, it allows partners to cherish the present without the weight of an indefinite commitment.

2. Non-Exclusive Commitment: For those unready or unwilling to commit exclusively, a time-capped relationship provides a practical solution. It eases concerns about commitment by acknowledging the desire for non-monogamous or less rigid relationship structures.

3. Novelty and Variety: Some personalities thrive on novelty and variety, finding long-term relationships monotonous. For individuals inclined towards sensation-seeking experiences, these relationships can offer excitement and honesty without the constraints of traditional commitments.

Ultimately, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to relationships. Embracing alternative narratives of love allows individuals to redefine their romantic experiences based on personal preferences. Whether it involves exploring time-capped relationships or other non-traditional forms, prioritizing individual happiness and fulfillment is key in today’s evolving romantic landscape.

Flexible Work Hours Can Make Your Heart 10 Years Younger

Nov 10, 2023 | Health, Show, Workplace | 0 comments

Some intriguing findings to share  regarding the impact of flexible working hours on heart health. A recent study conducted by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Penn State University delves into the potential benefits of deviating from the conventional 9-5 routine.

The research suggests that modifying office hours may lead to a remarkable reduction in the risk of heart disease, up to 10 years younger than the traditional routine. This adjustment proved most advantageous for employees over the age of 45 and those already at a higher risk of heart-related issues.

The study encompassed participants from diverse sectors, including an IT company with high-tech workers and a caregiving company with low-wage caregivers. Notably, supervisors received training to support their employees’ work-life balance, emphasizing enhanced control over schedules and tasks.

Co-lead author Lisa Berkman emphasizes the significance of the study, stating, “When stressful workplace conditions and work-family conflict were mitigated, we saw a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease among more vulnerable employees, without any negative impact on their productivity.”

The study measured the health metrics of 1,528 participants initially and after 12 months, taking into account variables such as blood pressure, BMI, glycated hemoglobin, smoking status, and cholesterol levels. While overall interventions didn’t show a significant impact on participants’ cardiometabolic risk scores, those with a higher baseline risk experienced a noticeable reduction, equivalent to aging 5.5 to 10.3 years younger in health terms.

These findings suggest that strategic changes in workplace culture can positively influence employee health without compromising productivity. It’s a call to consider broader implementation of such measures, particularly for workers facing health inequities and with less control over their schedules. Let’s ponder the possibilities of a healthier, heart-smart work environment!

Dentist Claims it’s Better to Eat Your Trick-or-Treat Candy at One Sitting

It’s that time of year when candy stashes are about to invade our homes. But if you’re concerned about your dental health, there are some steps you can take to avoid those dreaded visits to the dentist.

According to Dr. Olivia Mason from Almost Heaven Dentistry, the key to protecting your teeth from the sugary onslaught is managing the exposure time to sweet treats. Her advice may come as a surprise – she suggests eating your entire bag of Halloween candy in one sitting. While this might not be easy on your stomach, it’s apparently better for your teeth than nibbling on candy over the next few months.

Dr. Mason also points out that sticky, tacky, chewy, and gummy candies are the worst culprits when it comes to dental health. Although chocolate isn’t ideal, it’s easier to clean off your teeth.

But it’s not just your teeth that could suffer from excess candy. Jefferson County Health Commissioner Andrew Henry warns that consuming sweets before bedtime can disrupt your sleep, especially for children. He advises parents to limit their kids’ candy intake and make sure they put it away after indulging in their Halloween haul.

So, as Halloween approaches, keep these dental health tips in mind. Enjoy the treats, but do so in moderation to protect your teeth and your sleep.
