Police Chief Gets Blasted On Facebook For Having 3 Secret Girlfriends

A Texas police chief has been burning the relationship candle at both ends. Actually, picture a candle with even more than two ends. Maybe it’s better to say he was juggling quite a lot, and now all his balls have hit the ground.

His former girlfriend, Cecily Steinmetz, put his butt on blast using Facebook and a whole bunch of receipts.
Jason Collier was put on administrative leave at the Stinnett Police Department in northern Texas, after being put in the position last year in February.

Heading off to a sporting event with your sister? This guy was prepared.

ring the late seventies and eighties, Sizzlean was a popular bacon alternative produced by Swift & Co. The breakfast strips were marketed as a healthier alternative to bacon and boasted less fat and less shrinkage than regular pork bacon.

Sizzlean was supposedly 50% leaner than pork belly bacon, in fact, although it actually contained 37% fat. And let’s be honest, if it didn’t, it wouldn’t have tasted as good.

Most websites on nostalgia or food history tend to paint Sizzlean as one of those crazy ’80’s’ concoctions that belong in the waste bin of failed ideas. This is due to one basic misconception: The idea products are only taken off the market because they don’t sell. In truth, Sizzlean did not fail, at least not in that way. Did it outsell bacon? No. Was it successful? Yes.

Is this the perfect side dish for that romantic Valentine's Day meal? Candy flavored mac & cheese. Thanks, but no thanks.

Kraft is releasing a limited-edition Valentine's Day version of its iconic macaroni and cheese. According to a press release, the box "includes a candy flavor packet to turn the mac & cheese pink and add hints of sweet candy flavor."

According to Today.com, a company spokesperson says "the vibrant pink hue comes from beetroot and carrot concentrates. As for what makes it tastes like candy, the extra packet of powder contains fructose, natural flavors and vanilla extract, they said."

I know we aren't supposed to judge. But, I now know the face of mental illness.

The FBI, what don't they have their paws into?

A Pennsylvania lawyer looking into whether the FBI dug up $400 million worth of Civil War gold is planning to ask a judge to unseal documents in the case so he can find out the truth.

William Cluck told PennLive a magistrate judge in Harrisburg sealed documents in the March 2018 excavation case involving the FBI from the public, and is now demanding to know if gold was even found.

Cluck represents Finders Keepers LLC, a treasure hunting company that he said told the federal authorities about the excavation site in the Dent’s Run area of Elk County.

Looks like I am set.

Speaking of fishing. Perhaps dartist should check this out. Quite the catch while hard water fishing.

I know, I know. Mis. Hum. you are too judgmental. In tonight's "I could have told you so." A typical city slicker: I thought living in a van would be enjoyable and easy to boot.

I rented a camper van for a weekend to take a small road trip to Philadelphia and see how I like van life.

The heat in the van broke, the electricity ran out, and the bathroom was too small.

I learned I could never live in a camper van full time because they're not real homes with working systems.

In the past few years I've caught myself fantasizing about quitting my job, breaking my lease, and embarking on an aimless and endless road trip in a camper van.

In my daydreams, I could picture myself traveling along the coasts, parking next to the sea, and opening the back doors onto picturesque landscapes. I dreamed of seeing the world and doing it in a van, just as a record number of people have done since the start of the pandemic.

In my daydreams, I could picture myself fencing my property in and setting up machine gun turrets. But, that's me. YMMV.

After 4 months of snow and about 2 more to go, I'm not real excited at the moment about this.

My guess? Most of these have to be prison tattoos? Or are there really tattoo artists this bad?

The ONT Musical Interlude. Except for 5% of the population. I couldn't imagine going through life without music.

INSIDE THE MIND OF A PERSON WHO HATES MUSIC
She’s not a hipster who can’t stand Taylor Swift. Danyel is among the 5 percent of people who experience musical anhedonia, or an inability to derive pleasure from song

Six months ago, when Taylor Swift released her twangy, emotionally charged album folklore, Danyel watched as her sister “cried to the sad songs and lip synched like she was on stage” to the more upbeat ones. Danyel, however, chose to forego this emotional rollercoaster. “It just didn’t connect with me,” she tells me.

In fairness, it’s not just Taylor Swift who fails to connect with Danyel. As long as she can remember, the 24-year-old has never heard a single piece of music that she’s enjoyed. Despite music’s claim of being the “universal language,” Danyel is among the 5 percent of people who experience “musical anhedonia,” or an inability to derive pleasure from song. “I never understood how my friends in high school would lie in their room or go on long car rides and just listen to music the whole time,” Danyel explains. “I’ve definitely tried finding something I like, but nothing’s ever clicked for me.”

Can you imagine life without Tanya? NO!!!
