    The Bottom Line:
    • Firefighters in Lacey, Washington, saved an unresponsive puppy exposed to fentanyl by administering Narcan, a medication used to reverse opioid overdoses.
    • The treatment was successful, and the puppy has recovered well.
    • The fire department says such cases are rare, but they say they’re always ready to handle all types of emergencies.

    The Full Story:Earlier this week, firefighters from Lacey Fire District 3 in Washington State found an unresponsive puppy inside a vehicle where fentanyl was present. The crew immediately administered a small dose of Narcan to the puppy, a medication commonly used to reverse opioid overdoses. The fire department says the treatment worked and the puppy is now doing well.Narcan, also known as naloxone, is an opioid antagonist that quickly reverses the effects of drugs like fentanyl by blocking opioid receptors. Fentanyl is a highly potent synthetic opioid, and according to the FDA, even a tiny amount can be dangerous for dogs. Despite the unusual nature of the situation, the firefighters’ training enabled them to respond effectively and save the puppy.The Lacey Fire District 3 shared photos of the puppy wrapped in a blanket and receiving care, writing that while using Narcan on a dog is rare, their teams are prepared for all emergencies. The department expressed relief and pride in the successful rescue.Source: PEOPLE

    Things I Like More As I Get Older
    This was on Reddit. Here are a few examples, what would be one of yours?
    • "Myself."
    • "Silence and people canceling plans – that’s foreplay now."
    • "Being at home, being in bed by 11pm, and grocery shopping."
    • "Not having plans."
    • "Having real conversations, no phone, hanging out with myself, and the self respect I have gained over the years with no need to please others. It's like a breath of fresh air."
    • "Not giving a s**t what people think is an incredible feeling."
    • "Birdwatching. Sorry – 'birding'."

    Things Men Do When They Are Alone
    This was from Buzzfeed. We threw in a few of ours as well.
    • "I take five decorative pillows off the bed and put them in the closet until the morning of her return."
    • "I cook a package of bacon and save the drippings. I cook basically everything in that fat until it’s gone. My wife and daughter are vegetarians."
    • "FINALLY, a chance to clean up without anyone in the way! Turn up the music and bust out the broom and mop and rags! Go outside for a smoke and get to it!"
    • "I don't know, but it's not gonna involve pants."
    • "Back in my early 20s, I would immediately pull the mattress off the bed and drag it into the living room, drive to Hooters and grab a giant bucket of wings, then come home and sit on my living room bed eating wings. Now, in my mid-40s, I fire up Farming Simulator and an audiobook."

    Why Is Corey's Sister So Weird?
    I finally got my birthday gift from my sister. The card had pictures of cheese on the front, with the word "fromage." That's the French word for cheese, just in case you didn't know. Which is cool, because we just went to Paris. On the inside it was a blank card. All it said was:
    OUI'D and then her signature...her full name with her middle initial. No "I love you," or "happy birthday." This the same woman who saw a good pic of me and texted this question: "Are you Team Zempy?" Like I must be on Ozempic to look good. Siblings, discuss.

  • These Are The Dirtiest Spots In Your Hotel Room

    These Are The Dirtiest Spots In Your Hotel Room
    2025/07/15
    Dirtiest Parts Of Your Hotel According To The Housekeepers
    • Decorative pillows - These don’t get washed often, if at all.
    • High-touch surfaces - Hotel room phones are the most unsanitary item. Higher-end hotels may give remotes, light switches and phones a wipe down before every check-in, but don’t count on it.
    • Carpets - They tend to trap dust and bacteria.
    • Hidden contamination spots - This is stuff tucked away, like barware inside drawers, that may be handled by guests without housekeeping staff knowing. Also, bathtubs with jets, only take a bath at a hotel if it’s a “super luxe five star hotel and only if it’s a non-jet bathtub.”
    • Hard to reach spots - High ceilings, chandeliers, ceiling fans, curtain rods and shower heads, which may be overlooked during a standard hotel room cleaning.

    Things Classy People Do
    1. Adopting stress management techniques. Classy people have stress in their lives, they just use techniques such as yoga or meditation to keep away anxiety .
    2. Learning to control their impulses. They keep their cool and stay even keeled, even when emotions are at its highest. Practice delayed response techniques, like counting to 10 before reacting.
    3. Dedicating time to being alone. Just like they show up for other people, classy people show up for themselves, too.
    4. Doing things that scare them. Rather than running from the things that make them uncomfortable, they do them. They face their challenges.
    5. Cultivating a healthy inner circle of people. They know that having a healthy inner circle will help them promote healthy habits. They also know that toxic people will stagnate their own growth.

    How Pets Keep Your Mind Sharp As You Age
    Recent research suggests that owning a cat or dog can actually slow down cognitive decline in older adults.
      Daily Walks = Brain Gains: Taking your dog out for regular walks doesn’t just keep    your legs moving…it also boosts circulation and reduces stress, both of which      support brain health.
    • Routine, Routine, Routine: Pets thrive on consistency, and guess what? So does your brain. Feeding, grooming, and playtime create a structured day, which has been linked to better cognitive functioning in older adults.
    • Conversation Starters with Fur: Walking a dog or sharing funny cat stories is a great way to connect with others, and socializing is key for brain health.
    • Emotional Support: Pets are amazing at sensing your mood and offering comfort just when you need it. That emotional bond can lower stress levels.
    • Mental Stimulation Through Play: Playing with your pet keeps you engaged and alert, whether it's tossing a ball or hiding treats. These mini-challenges promote problem-solving and coordination.
    • They Make You Laugh, And That’s Good for You: Laughter has been shown to lower stress and stimulate brain activity, and pets are basically fuzzy comedians.

    Timing Your Shower Can Help You Sleep
    Taking a warm shower one to two hours before bed helps your body temperature drop, which signals your brain it's time to sleep. This matches your natural body clock and can help you fall asleep faster and sleep better. Evening showers also have a creative bonus. When your mind is relaxed, you might come up with new ideas or solutions to problems you've been thinking about. If you need better sleep, try warm evening showers. If you want more energy in the morning, cold morning showers work well.

    Americans Are Divided On AI
    Americans are divided on the implications of artificial intelligence. According to a recent Gallup poll, 49-percent of U.S. adults surveyed said AI is "just the latest in a long line of technological advancements that humans will learn to use to improve their lives and society." But the polling also found that the other 49-percent of respondents said AI is "very different from the technological advancements that came before, and threatens to harm humans and society." Marcus is totally down, I am being dragged kicking and screaming 🙂

  • Get Rid Of Anxiety In Seconds With These Simple Steps

    How To Relieve Anxiety In Seconds
    Dr. Anita Phillips, a trauma therapist, says you can deal with anxiety in just seconds.
    • The first exercise is called the "voo" technique. You take a deep breath in, then breathe out while making the sound "voo" for as long as your exhale lasts. The vibration you feel helps work anxiety out of your body.
    • The second exercise is called tension release. You breathe in calmly, then as you breathe out, you tighten up your whole body. Then you breathe in again and relax everything. Making your body tense on purpose and then letting it go helps your mind feel more relaxed too.
    Phillips also suggests "shaking it out" while brushing your teeth - start by shaking your bottom, then let the shake move up through your whole body. See me perform these exercises on the IG.
    Happiest Shift Workers
    America’s most cheerful hourly employees are selling vapes, weed, and smokes, according to a new report. Over 1.51 million end-of-shift survey responses paint a less-than-ideal picture of the state of the union for wage workers. While the Net Happiness Score — the report’s metric for general workplace wellbeing — clocked in fairly high at 71.86%. The happiest industry sector turned out to be e-cigarette and marijuana stores, with 91.87% of employees saying they feel “good” or “amazing” about their jobs. They’re closely followed by caterers, baristas, dentists, and those who work in gyms, firearms stores, and sit-down restaurants.
    Successful Couples Do These 4 Things In The AM
    • Couples should say hello to each other in the morning. That tells your partner "I see you. You're alive. I'm alive. I appreciate you."

    • Second, successful couples make small loving gestures for each other. This might mean making coffee for your partner, putting out their robe, or setting up their breakfast bowl.

    • Third, they spend a few minutes together in the morning, even if it's just having coffee. It reminds them that even when the day gets stressful, they need to make time for what really matters.

    • Finally, successful couples include physical affection like a kiss or hug before leaving for work. This releases feel-good hormones like oxytocin, which strengthens their bond and makes them want to grow closer together.

  • Women Have Stopped Wearing Makeup On First Dates

    My Girlfriend's Apartment Is Giving Me Anxiety
    How would you handle this? You want to move in with your girlfriend, but she has a ton of knick-knacks, plants and just plain stuff. He is a minimalist and feels like he couldn't move in with her if she didn't at least get rid of half of it.

    No Makeup On The First Date
    In general, Gen Z has trended towards skipping out on classic date nights like traditional dinners and drinks in favor of more adventurous, active ventures like ocean swims, yoga sessions, or rock climbing. These activities allow potential paramours to get to know each other without the pressure of sitting across from each other and talking for hours on end — though eventually, there comes a point in a relationship where this is necessary. The latest move to ease the tension and anxiety of a first date? No makeup, a la Pamela Anderson. Both Millennials and Gen Zers have taken to the Internet to share their experiences with the movement, and overall, they’re psyched about their new looks, and the confidence boosts it can — potentially, as @madisonoud pointed out — bring with it. (No thanks, Tom Hanks)

    Looking Good Vs Feeling Good
    Along the same vein, people are saying that feeling healthy makes them feel attractive. Exercising and eating well, give the confidence a boost. Let me guess, you should cut ut alcohol? Booooooo.
