Flying under the radar is hard, but not impossible.

Freethink spoke to The Onion about what you learn from parodying the media from the print era into the digital age.

Loving someone is like moving into a house. At first you fall in love with all the new things, amazed every morning that all this belongs to you, as if fearing that someone would suddenly come rushing in through the door to explain that a terrible mistake had been made, you weren't actually supposed to live in a wonderful place like this. Then over the years the walls become weathered, the wood splinters here and there, and you start to love that house not so much because of all its perfection, but rather for its imperfections. You get to know all the nooks and crannies. How to avoid getting the key caught in the lock when it's cold outside. Which of the floorboards flex slightly when one steps on them or exactly how to open the wardrobe doors without them creaking. These are the little secrets that make it your home. ~Fredrik Backman

Giving your kid time on screens might actually be good for your whole family.

In a way, meals are a terrible time to attempt to foster whole-family connection, and it isn’t as essential as the culture wants you to think it is.

This was written by a cricketer’s wife in fun - New Zealand’s greatest all-rounder, the late Martin Crowes wife, Lorraine Downes, a former Miss Universe on his 7 death anniversary on March 3, 2023 in Auckland. Apparently, he had a great sense of humor and to be a wife of a cricketer, you must’ve an even bigger sense of humor and understanding. So here it goes….

Come all ye fair young maidens, harken unto me!

Never trust a cricketer,

whoever he may be.

Randier than a sailor

who's been six months at sea,

Never let a cricketer's hand

an inch above your knee.

First let's take the paceman,

pure speed from first to last,

My darlings do be careful;

his balls are hard and fast.

Then there's the medium pacer,

his balls swing either way;

He's really most persistent

and can keep it up all day!

Watch out for the off-spinner girls, another awkward chap.

If you leave him half an opening,

he will slip one through the gap!

Then there's the wily 'slowy',

pure cunning is his strength;

He'll tempt you, then he'll trap you with his very subtle length.

So ladies, do be careful,

your mothers would agree.

Never trust a cricketer,

whoever he may be.

And what about the opening bat, his struggles never cease!

He has only one ambition,

to spend all day at the crease.

The number three is a dasher,

he seldom prods and pokes.

When he goes into action,

he has a fine array of strokes..

And do beware the slogger,

not content with one or two;

When he arrives at the crease

then only six will do.

Then there's the real stonewaller.

Girls! he knows what he's about;

And if you let him settle in,

it's hard to get him out!

We come now to the last man,

I hope this will not shock,

He doesn't mind if he's last man in, as long as he gets a knock.

So, darlings, do be careful,

and be well warned by me:

Never trust a cricketer,

whoever he may be.

And watch the wicketkeeper.

Girls! he's full of flair and dash;

And if you raise your heel,

he'll whip them off in a flash.

If you take the field with the capt'n, you had better know the score;

Or he'll have you in positions

that you never knew before!

The cricket commentator

is a nasty sort of bloke,

He watches all the action

and describes it stroke by stroke.

Even the kindly umpire,

who looks as friendly as a pup;

You'll quickly find you've had it, when he puts his finger up!

So, darlings, please remember

and repeat it after me:

*“NEVER TRUST A CRICKETER, WHOEVER HE MAY BE!!!!!”*

The best thing about rock bottom is the rock part. You discover the solid bit of you. The bit that can't be broken down further. The thing that you might sentimentally call a soul. At our lowest, we find the solid ground of our foundation. And we can build ourselves anew.”

Can a 6-second kiss each day lead to a more intimate relationship?
