Why does everything turn out to be bad for you? A new study claims there could be toxic chemicals in your dental floss. The new report found that women using Oral-B Glide or similar brands of dental floss could have higher levels of toxic PFAS chemicals in their bodies. The chemical is often used for water-resistant or grease-resistant surfaces. Stain-resistant carpets and coated cardboard food containers can also lead to higher PFAS levels.
Well, here’s another good reason to stick to your weight loss resolution. According to a new study, it turns out that there’s a link between the size of your belly and the size of your brain. Researchers in the UK learned that obese people and those with large amounts of fat in the midsection also happened to have smaller brain volume compared to those who are an average weight. While the study published in the journal Neurology found that the two went hand in hand, it didn’t prove that being overweight caused brain shrinkage. Live Science points out that brain shrinkage can lead to problems such as “memory decline and dementia”.
If you want to avoid time-wasters and relationships that end in disaster or tears, doing this simple test each time you meet someone you think has potential makes sense.
There’s a total of 14 questions. Be honest with your answers and see what’s there, not what you want to see.
1. Does he get on well with his mother?
2. Are his parents together and happy?
3. Does he have a few serious, long-term relationships under his belt?
4. Does he blame all his exes for his break-ups?
5. Are his friends a mix of old and new and like him a lot?
6. Is he financially stable?
7. Has he cheated in the past?
8. Does he have achievements that are complete?
9. Is he OK at communicating?
10. Does he feel about sex the way you feel about sex?
11. Does he want what you want from life?
12. Do you both want or not want children?
13. Do you like each other’s family?
14. Do you have chemistry?
Bonus Points:
Personalize your score by adding in unique points that relate to you. Make sure they are personal because not everything applies to everyone.
Here are some examples:
Now add up your score from the first 14 questions and half a point for any bonus points you come up with (with a maximum of five).
The maximum score you can get is 16.5.
If you’re still in the very early, massively besotted stage and score this, deduct a few points automatically. Judgment is heavily skewed in the first three months. It’s only after the love and sex hormones stop releasing that you see each other clearly.
For everyone else, I’d suggest you only pursue those who get a score of 10 or over. Also look hard and long at the points that you answered ‘no’ on. How important are those things to you?
If you want to be tough, only continue seeing partners who score 12 or over. Especially, if you’re guilty of seeing the nice side of people and glossing over faults.
Good judgment is what you need for a great relationship, not good luck!
Now is YOUR man a keeper?

Now if only we can get something like this to happen in Chicago!

After 32 years in the NFL, the Bears’ defensive coordinator Vic Fangio finally lands a well deserved head coaching position. Unfortunately, it is not here in Chicago. Denver has STOLEN* him from us.
Fangio was the Bears defensive coordinator from 2014 through 2018 and in six of his eight seasons as a coordinator since returning to the NFL, he produced top-10 scoring defense. This includes the No. 1 defense by a mile this year here in Chicago.
“Fangio will receive a four-year contract that includes a team option for a fifth year, a source said.” More from ESPN HERE.
Bears Wire has 7 potential replacements in mind HERE.
Stay ruthless, D.

Tokyo-based Shiftall Inc. is unveiling a ‘smart’ beer fridge that’s designed to keep track of how many brewskis so it can automatically order you more when you run low.
Your new brew-buddy fridge will be able to hold 13 beers and keep a tally of your bottles.
The chill contraption, called the DrinkShift, is among thousands of high-tech products set to be displayed at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
A woman cleaning an airplane discovered a love letter written on an air sickness bag in a seatback pocket and has now taken to Reddit to hopefully track down the lovestruck young woman.
The letter, which was discovered last year, explains that the woman is on her way to confess her feelings to her crush.
Found this in the back pocket of a seat on an aircraft I was cleaning last year. Where ever you are, I hope it went well for you. from r/pics
“If you’re reading this, hello 🙂 My name is Andrea and I am incredibly bored. Right now this flight is going from Miami to DC. I’m 21,” the letter begins.
“… Right now this flight is going from Miami to DC. I’m 21.
So I bought the ticket last night at 4am because I have a huge crush on my best friend. He’s flying from Boston to New Orleans and has a layover in DC. I actually live in DC and was gonna go up soon anyway so I thought why not, I’ll surprise him at the airport during his layover. I’m gonna tell him I have a crush on him.”
Like any good romance, we got a bit of the conflict that was gitting in her way,
But see I’m going to Australia for a semester abroad in 4 days and I won’t see him for 5 months so it’s really the last chance I have.
She tells people to “do something crazy today like I am.” and concludes it by saying “Good luck whoever you are.”
It’s been a year now though, what has happened to these young lovers?

This seems to go against all logic, but…. apparently someone way smarter than me did the math and you actually get more pizza per square inch from an 18″ pie then from two 12″ pies. According to Fermat’s Library on Twitter, an 18″ pizza yields 254 square inches of pizza while 2 12″ pizzas only offers 226.
At some point in life, this info will come in handy. You’re welcome. 😉

On a day when Sears was preparing to go out of business for good, an 11th-hour deal will keep the retailer’s doors open for now. On Tuesday, Sears announced it it had accepted a bid of $4.4 billion from its chairman Eddie Lampert that will keep 425 Sears and Kmart stores open. The company filed for bankruptcy last October and was reportedly preparing to liquidate and shut down completely before accepting Lampert’s offer. About 50,000 employees will keep their jobs with the deal.

Think you could have kicked a better field goal than Cody Parkey?
Goose Island brewery is challenging Chicagoans who claim they could. This weekend, starting at noon, there will be field goal posts set up outside their tap-room at Fulton and Wood Street. They say whoever makes the 43-yard field goal wins free beer for a year.
They posted a thread of tweets talking about the game and how confident they are in those testing if they actually could make that kick.
THREAD
*deep breath* we think we’re finally okay with talking about yesterday’s game. 1/5— Goose Island Beer Co (@GooseIsland) January 7, 2019
A lot of armchair kickers on here are saying that they could hit that field goal, which we find DOUBTFUL. You’re gonna sit there on your throne of potato chips and vape pens and criticize this dude’s athleticism? GET REAL. 2/5
— Goose Island Beer Co (@GooseIsland) January 7, 2019
So you know what we’re going to do? Build a dang field goal post in the middle of the street outside of our brewery, and all you pro athletes can come out and prove us wrong. 3/5
— Goose Island Beer Co (@GooseIsland) January 7, 2019
This weekend during normal taproom hours we’ll have a chance for you to show off your kicking skills. Hit the 43 yard field goal and you’ll win beer for a year and eternal glory. More info coming soon. 4/5

Also, IT WAS TIPPED. 5/5

Oh, baby.
A pregnant woman recently took to Reddit to voice her baby-naming woes. Her husband had, shockingly, suggested that they name their new daughter after his ex-girlfriends.
The pregnant 23-year-old said how long she and her 24-year-old husband had been together while explaining his history.
Starting it off by saying “Divorce on table because husband and I can’t agree on baby’s name”:
Hello reddit. This title might look funny but its an actual problem between me (23F) and my husband (24M). We’ve been dating for a year, been married for 2 years. I got pregnant like 7 months ago so recently we started discussing name for the baby. Ever since we found out its gonna be a girl my husband wants to name it like his exes name. Its not any ex but the one he dated for long period of time and loved the most. In the beginning of our relationship we had may problems because of her but she moved away so the problems went away. He really loved her and he never hid that from me but I thought it was over once she moved away. Now he made it clear that he wants the baby to have that name and I can name the second child. When I asked him why does he want that name so badly he said just because he and his ex didnt work out doesnt mean he doesnt want something to keep reminding him of her. He doesnt understand how much its affecting me and keeps saying its just the hormones. Is he still in love with the ex or its normal that he wants to name OUR child like that. Thank you!
The post stunned Redditors sparking more than 3,000 comments on the post. One saying “I knew a woman who wanted to name her baby after an ex. She ended up stabbing the current bf. Just putting that out there.”
Some even confessed on how they were named after exes and how they felt about it.
Hopefully, they can settle this matter before the baby comes into the world.

I can’t make this stuff up. Starting this week, courts in Saudi Arabia have to notify wives that their marriage has ended — by text.
Why?
From the Guardian: “The measure approved by the justice ministry appears to be aimed at curbing cases of men secretly ending marriages without informing their wives.”
The article goes on to say that women will be notified electronically of any changes to their marital status and will have the ability to pull up any documents related to the matter through a website.
How progressive. 🙄 — [eric]
