Story 1:  Don’t Let Someone Be “Brutally Honest” with You Unless They Pass This Test

Elizabeth Gilbert wrote “Eat, Pray, Love” and a bunch of other books.  And she did an advice column on when to let someone give YOU advice.

In her 20’s, she had a friend who loved to be brutally honest with her.  But she realized that when someone asks if they can be “brutally honest,” they tend to go heavy on the brutal part.

So she came up with four questions she asks herself before she values anyone’s feedback on her writing, or life in general.  And the answer to all four has to be yes . . .

  1. “Do I trust the person’s taste and judgement?” If not, there’s no point in asking.
  1. “Do they understand what I’m trying to do?” Because if they don’t get it, their opinion probably doesn’t really matter.
  1. “Do they genuinely want me to succeed?” Some people let their ego get in the way, and aren’t really trying to be helpful.
  1. “Are they capable of delivering the truth in a sensitive and compassionate way?”

She says the last one is the most important.  Because unless they can do it with a dose of kindness, it’ll just discourage you and hold you back.

Story 2:  Dim Romantic Lighting Can Make Your Food Taste Worse

Keep this in mind next time you try set up a romantic candlelight dinner:  It’s NOT going to make you seem like a very good cook.  A new study in the Netherlands found that dim romantic lighting can actually make food taste WORSE.

Quote, “Guests in the bright light condition rated the overall taste as more intense as opposed to the guests in the dim light condition.”

The researchers say it’s because food is really a “multisensory” experience . . . so it helps you enjoy your food if you can really SEE it.

Story 3:  A Suspect Repeatedly Tells the Cops Her Name Is “My Butt Just Farted”

If you’re going to give the cops a fake name . . . maybe don’t make it a full sentence?  And a ridiculous one at that?

The cops in St. Petersburg, Florida got a call last Wednesday night about a woman who refused to leave a gas station.

When they got there to arrest her for trespassing, they asked her for her name, and she said, quote, “My name is ‘My butt just farted.’”  And no matter how many times they asked for her name, she kept repeating that her name is “My butt just farted.”

Believe it or not, that ISN’T her name.  She’s actually a 33-year-old woman named Melinda Lynn Guerrero, and one of the ways the cops knew that was her name is . . . she has “Guerrero” tattooed on her back.

She was charged with trespassing and providing a false name to law enforcement.  The cops believe she may’ve been under the influence.
