Have You Accidentally Ever Ended a Call by Saying “Love You” to Someone You Shouldn’t Have Said That To?

Have you ever been on a call with someone and absentmindedly said “Love you!” at the end . . . even though you weren’t talking to a family member?  Like . . . you said it to a random friend.

According to a new survey, it’s actually pretty common.  31% of people admit they’ve accidentally ended a call by saying “love you” to someone they shouldn’t have said that to.

Younger people are more likely to do it than older people.

42% of people under 24 say they’ve done it, as have 38% of people under 34 and 35% of people under 44.  Meanwhile, only 23% of people over 55 say they’ve done it.

8 year old boy catches 692-pound Tiger Shark

Can we call him the boy who caught Jaws?

An Australian boy named Jayden hooked the beast on a 33 pound line off the coast of the Brown Mountains while with a fishing group and his father. The bigger men in the group held onto Jayden’s harness as they reeled in the massive shark.

If it’s recorded properly, this catch will be the new world record holder beating out a 682-pound shark caught in 1997.

CPS classes cancelled for tomorrow ahead of teacher’s strike

Although a deal looks within reach as Mayor Lightfoot has announced she was ready to write staffing and class size promises into the union contract, two of the big issues for CPS along with a commitment to hiring more support staff, social workers, nurses, librarians etc.  Also according to Jesse Sharkey, Chicago Teacher’s Union President, they foresee this as a short-term strike.  In the interim, here are some resources you may find helpful as the parent of a CPS student thanks to WGN News:

If your child needs a safe place to go during the strike, CPS has a safe place site locator for parents.

All CPS school buildings will be open during the normal school day. Students who need a safe place to go are encouraged to attend their regular school, but will be welcomed at any CPS school that is age appropriate. More on CPS’s contingency plan can be found here.

Parents are encouraged to register their child online for the duration of the potential strike. While not mandatory, it helps ensure the district has enough staff and meals to serve each child. All CPS schools will serve breakfast and lunch to students.

School transportation services will not be available to for students during the potential strike.

All after school activities, including sports, tutoring and field trips, will be canceled.

According to Raise Your Hand for Illinois Public Education, there are many additional options for child care around the city during the potential strike:

Would you? Chicago Starbucks to Serve Malort Cocktails.

If you’ve ever walked in to your local Starbucks and thought to yourself, “A latte sounds nice but what I REALLY want is a shot of Malort,”  1) you have major issues and should seek counselling immediately, and 2) today is your lucky day!  The soon to be open world’s largest Starbucks announced that it will be paying homage to Chicago’s dive bar culture by featuring Malort (listen I know there is supposed to be those two dots over the O, but I can’t remember how to do it and I’m not Googling so deal with it) in some of their cocktails. I’ll have a double non fat skinny iced steamed dark latte with 2 pumps of vanilla, foam, a hint of nutmeg, and a shot of Malort…..wait.

Chicago is a dumpster fire. No, Chicago has dumpster fires

Five dumpsters and a garage were set on fire between the hours of 2:00 am and 4:00 am in the Lincoln Park and Lakeview neighborhoods on Tuesday.

The situation had police all over the area responding to scenes and searching for the apparent serial arsonist. Police say no one was injured, and the suspect was not in custody.

We know Chicago can be a dumpster fire (it’s our dumpster fire, we love this city), but we don’t want Chicago to turn into an actual dumpster fire. Please, whoever is lighting up, we urge you to knock it off.

Youth football coach fined for kicking too much butt

A Philadelphia football coach faces possible suspension and fine after blowing out a team over the weekend.

The Keystone Sports League, which features kids no older than seven years of age, prevents a team from leading by more than 30 points. The coach of the Conshohocken Golden Bears, Kyle Williams, knew he was close to approaching this rule as the game wound down. With his second-string players in, he urged them to not score, and if they had an opening, to fall to the ground.

The players did not listen, and they wound up in the end zone with little time remaining on the clock, thus putting the team up by 36 and breaking the league’s rule in the process. Williams is facing a possible $500 fine and two-game suspension because of it.

Do you agree with this league rule? Williams just wants his players to go out there and give 100% at all times, and because of that, he was punished.

This guy’s cracking jokes… from the grave!

An Irish veteran wanted to get a few more chuckles before he was finally put to rest.

Shay Bradley decided to record a comedy bit to be played posthumously at his funeral for his family and friends.

This goes to show that funerals don’t always have to be sad. It’s a time of remembrance, and Bradley wanted everyone to remember him as the fun-loving guy that he was.

Cheers to Shay Bradley!
