I always had a clipboard, notebook, folder... But made sure it had actual work in it. Luckily it was a car dealership and one had different buildings so we could walk between them with purpose and hide. Trust me, I worked hard. But these were my "cigarette breaks". It's hard being a woman working for Catholic in name only men owners. My coworkers were great so we covered for each other.
William Shakespeare was a genius because he truly understood the human psyche. He covered extremely universal themes in his plays, such as power, corruption, ambition, politics, revenge, fate, conflict, and most importantly, love. All of them were relatable back then. But they are also relevant today because humans stay the same.
Many things connect us, no matter how much time passes. Relatable memes might not be as grand or legendary as Willy’s plays, but the essence of “human connection” is similar in both. And speaking of memes, we associate them with something funny these days. But did you know that the word actually has academic origins?

Please tell that to my wife. At age 68 she still blames her mother for taking Tylenol while pregnant for causing my wife's current health issues.
In 1976, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins coined the term “meme” in his book titled “The Selfish Gene.” He compared biological genes to cultural ideas because both of them replicate, evolve, and get passed down from one person to another.
To describe how ideas spread and evolve, Dawkins wanted a one-syllable word that was catchy and sounded like “gene,” but also hinted at memory. So he borrowed from the French word “même” (meaning: same) and “mimeme,” derived from the Greek “mimeisthai” (meaning: to imitate), to coin the word we use today.

Especially when those verifiable historical events happened earlier that day ... to me.
Today, not everyone knows why or who coined the word, but memes are pretty popular. In fact, people use them to communicate, make someone laugh, or just break the ice. Stats reveal that Instagram users share more than a whopping 1 million memes per day.
When it comes to relatable memes, they make you feel “understood.” I mean, it’s nice to know you are not the only one who has embarrassed yourself in front of your crush.
Therapist Theodora Blanchfield claims that memes get trivialized and disparaged, yet they’re an important social currency in this day and age. She shares its boons by explaining that memes:
- Create connections.
- Help you say the hard things.
- Help you build emotional capital.
- Contribute to a “shared language.”
- And help you feel seen.

Memes can also help you cope with difficulties. According to experts at Mayo Clinic, a good sense of humor isn’t a cure for everything, but laughter can do a lot of positive things. When it comes to short-term benefits, a good laugh increases feel-good chemicals called endorphins that your brain releases.
It also activates and relieves your stress response and lowers your heart rate and blood pressure. That’s why you feel better and more relaxed. Moreover, laughter can stimulate circulation and help relax muscles, which soothes tension.

Another important aspect of laughter is its long-term benefits. For instance, it can lower stress hormones that weaken the immune system and boost certain immune cells that fight illness. Guffawing over relatable memes might reduce pain and help shift your focus away from unease. Along with increasing your personal satisfaction, laughter also helps your mood.

“Many people have depression, sometimes due to chronic illnesses. Laughter can help lessen your stress, depression, and anxiety. It may also make you feel happier. And it can also improve your self-esteem,” experts add.
Moreover, when you laugh about a challenging situation, it’s almost like taking a step back from it. This allows you to see things more clearly. And sometimes, the problem no longer seems as huge as it did before.

Change that 120 to 115 please. Nobody makes it to 120 any more. It's a planned obsolescence cliff. Fewer than 1 person in 60 makes it to age 95. Only 0.03% of people are age 100 or older.

I've seen this before and said as a person terrified of flying I would be happy for the distraction as long as the kid's parent understood I can handle my liquor on a plane and have never been arrested. I might need the alcohol if I have someone interesting to talk to instead of my husband🤣

Depends on the doctor. Last time this happened, the doctor made her wait in the waiting room for an hour. Then she went in and the first thing the doctor said was "You have four broken limbs and massive internal injuries due to an epic battle with fire breathing dragons, I can't do anything for you go straight to hospital emergency where you won't be able to afford their fees. You will not be charged for this visit. Bye".
