Find out which three Chicago burbs made the list for safest in the US!

According to a recent study by MoneyGeek, in which they figured out the safest places to live in US, three Illinois towns made the list in the top ten! They based their research off of crime data and used that to calculate how much crime costs in each area. Buffalo Grove topped the list followed by Bartlett and Orland Park. Here’s the full list!

  1. Buffalo Grove, Illinois ($22 per capita)
  2. Franklin, Massachusetts ($32 per capita)
  3. Carmel Town, New York ($35 per capita)
  4. Shrewsbury, Massachusetts ($38 per capita)
  5. Bartlett, Illinois ($39 per capita)
  6. Monroe Township, New Jersey ($39 per capita)
  7. Long Beach, New York ($42 per capita)
  8. Orland Park, Illinois ($49 per capita)
  9. Yorktown Town, New York ($53 per capita)
  10. Lexington, Massachusetts ($59 per capita)

Do you own any used furniture?

We’ve all heard the stories of people finding money in previously owned couch cushions and jackets, etc. But THIS is a first… (warning, strong stomach recommended for the next part)

There was a couple who’s dog ruined their couch. Instead of wasting good money on a new one just to have the dog ruin it, they purchased a new-to-them (aka previously owned) couch from a craigslist-type scenario. All was fine until a remote was lost in the cushions a week later, and the new owner reached his hand in, only to pull out….

A HANDFUL OF FINGERNAILS :X

Upon further (vomit) inspection, THOUSANDS of fingernails were found in the cushions.

So what did they do?! Burn the couch, his arm and the entire apartment down?! (seems reasonable enough)

Not really, they vacuumed it and are keeping the horror couch.

Full story and PHOTOS (warning, again, you may puke on your keyboard) HERE.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go sit in a hot shower and cry. <3 Lauren

MGK brought the heat to the NHL All-Star Game

Despite thinking that he was performing at “halftime”, MGK had the honor of crushing it at the NHL All-Star Game over the weekend.

Next year, he’ll knock it out of the park at the Pro Bowl.

The call back when you DIDN’T get the job

A guy went to a bank for a job interview and thought that he NAILED IT! Apparently, he did not. The manager called him back to give the specifics as to why he did not get the job and it’s more than outrageous. I’m beginning to think this guy should just continue to be self-employed- ‘at Arby’s.’

You’ll be shocked at what Olympians are eating in Beijing

A Russian biathlete tweeted about some of the conditions at the Olympics in Beijing and she didn’t have raving reviews. In fact, her picture of one of her three daily meals is reminiscent of something from Fyre Festival. She said she’s been losing weight and is having trouble performing due the inedible food. I wouldn’t feed that stuff to my dog… Hopefully she brought some protein bars.

This woman shared her “wedding rules” on TikTok

All of these rules this woman laid seem pretty legit to me. You could argue that you want kids to come, but that’s a personal preference. You gotta have the flower girl and the ring bearer, right? Other than that, she’s dead on.

A woman explains a quick way to find out if there’s someone else!

Take a moment and think about this. The last time you were in a car and you looked at yourself in the mirror. You open the slider, then shut it all the way. This woman says, if you’re suspicious of someone else, just leave it halfway open so that another person will be forced to shut it all the way when they’re done using it. Now, there are holes in this argument. What if his mom or friend was riding in the car? All facts. But you have a woman’s intuition.

Green Day’s “Time of Your Life” like you’ve never heard it before!

This might be one of the best TikTok duets ever. You won’t expect what comes out of this guy’s mouth. In fact, he’s the last person you would think knows all the words to this song, but it fits perfect! Now try not to hear it this way, you can’t! It’s brilliant!

When an eagle flies INSIDE of your car…

33-year-old Renante was vloging his vacation in the Philippines while in his car and suddenly an eagle flew into the car! It crashed through the passenger window while he was driving slowly and hurt it’s wing. He helped it get back to it’s old self and released it shortly thereafter.

Ever wonder why you can’t tickle yourself?

Some people are suuuuper ticklish, while others don’t even care, But no one can really tickle themselves… why? Tickling happens when pressure is applied to sensitive parts of our bodies, BUT if you do it yourself, your brain anticipates the touch about to happen. That’s cancels out any possibility of a tickle. The more you knooooowww!

The coolest secret den you’ll ever see!

Dude proves Lake Michigan is frozen as he walks a mile out on it

Some dude caught the attention of people in high rises along the lakefront as he made his way out about a mile offshore. WGN got the tip and sent their Sky Cam out to figure out what the heck was going on.

He says he got lost and didn’t know he was on the lake?! Yeah. I remember my first beer. Thankfully this story has a happy ending, as he was safely returned to shore courtesy of some brave first responders. <3 Lauren
