Story 1: Four Things to Look Forward to in August
Here are four things to look forward to in August despite the pandemic.
- In sports, Major League Baseball and the NBA got under way this week, and the NHL will join them this weekend. The season resumes tomorrow, after being on hold since mid-March.
- On TV, “Big Brother” returns to CBS next Wednesday, and it’s an All-Star season . . . Shark Week is back on Discovery a week from Sunday, on August 9th . . . and the “Video Music Awards” are set to air on MTV on August 30th.
- There are a couple things happening in OUTER SPACE that you can enjoy while still social distancing. SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Demo-2 mission will return to Earth from the International Space Station this Sunday. (You can watch it on Space.com.)
There’s also going to be a full Moon this Sunday morning . . . it’s called a Full Sturgeon Moon. And the Perseid Meteor Shower is going on now, but it’ll peak on August 11th and 12th between midnight and dawn. Just go outside and look up.
- There are no federal holidays in August, so you’re not going to get any days off work. But there are a TON of fun, smaller holidays, including: National Girlfriends Day tomorrow . . . Friendship Day on Sunday . . . Chocolate Chip Cookie Day on the 4th . . .
National Underwear Day on the 5th . . . International Beer Day on the 7th . . . National Relaxation Day on the 15th . . . our personal favorite, National Radio Day on August 20th . . . and National Dog Day on the 26th.
Story 2: The 10 Signs Your Relationship Will Fail, According to Science
Science is having a rough time making friends these days . . . and telling people their relationships are doomed isn’t going to help.
A new scientific study out of Western University in Ontario, Canada found there are 10 factors that can predict if a relationship is likely to fail.
The 10 factors are, in no particular order:
Your partner’s commitment . . . appreciation . . . sexual satisfaction . . . how satisfied you think your partner is . . . conflict . . . life satisfaction overall . . . negativity overall . . . depression . . . commitment issues . . . and issues with depending on others.
And if some or all of those are serious issues in your relationship and your life . . . well, that’s not a good sign for your relationship.
But it’s not a GUARANTEE you’re doomed. The researchers say if you’re both working on building and strengthening your relationship, that can reduce the negative factors over time and improve the odds you stay together.
Story 3: A Woman Goes on a Rampage After She Comes Home to Find Her Husband with Another Woman
There’s a 29-year-old woman named Nicole Denison from Safety Harbor, Florida and she works as a flight attendant for Allegiant Air. Well . . . it looks like her husband got confused about her work schedule.
Because Nicole got home around 11:00 P.M. on Wednesday and found her 34-year-old husband having sex with another woman.
And Nicole went on a RAMPAGE. She started swinging at her husband and hit him in his face and his arm.
Then she pulled an “Animal House”, grabbed his acoustic guitar, and smashed it against the wall . . . which destroyed the guitar AND put a huge hole in the wall.
Nicole was arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery.
