SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Turns out, being single isn’t nearly as bad as your aunt thinks. In fact, it's all about how you view being on your own. Three recent studies examined “singlehood self-expansion potential”. That's the willingness to meet new people, try new activities and pursue personal growth. It was found that your attitude, as a single, plays a major role in a single person’s feelings of fulfillment . People who believed single life offered opportunities to grow, rather than being something to escape, were more likely to seek new experiences, from hiking and playing sports to trying new restaurants and meeting people. And solo doesn’t necessarily mean alone: Up to 82% of participants sometimes had friends or family join them on these adventures.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Judy Judge is hanging up her robe. Nearly 30 years after Judy Sheindlin launched a career that made her TV’s most widely recognized judge, she’s passing her gavel to a fitting successor: her son, Judge Adam Levy. Sheindlin told People magazine that when “Judy Justice” wraps in October, she’s moving away from on-camera work to focus on other endeavors, including afternoon naps…and developing the animated series “Judyverse” based on the “Baby Judge Judy” videos circulating social media. Sheindlin will also produce her son’s syndicated court TV show, “Adam’s Law,” which debuts today.
Quentin Tarantino has found the leading man for his upcoming project, with “Ali G” star Sacha Baron Cohen set to take on the role next year. Cohen will play the title character in “The Popinjay Cavalier”, a London stage play written and directed by Tarantino. It’ll mark Tarantino's first professional stage play as a director, while Cohen will make his West End debut in the lead role. The stage play is a swashbuckling comedy set in 1830s Europe. The story centers on deception and disguise, drawing inspiration from classic swashbuckling stories on stage and screen. The Popinjay Cavalier is expected to premiere next spring.
DID YA KNOW!?
Did You Know... Some rocks can float. Pumice is formed during volcanic eruptions and is filled with tiny air bubbles, making it light enough to float on water.
JOKE OF THE DAY

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
Carrier Pidge: It turns texting into a slow-motion game by sending messages at the fictional speed of a carrier pigeon – about 110 mph (177 km/h). The farther away your recipient is, the longer the message takes to arrive, and there’s even a 0.2% chance your message gets “lost” forever, just like a real pigeon might.
Roost Social: It takes the same idea but adds a more playful, game-like twist. You can watch messages travel around the globe, choose different bird breeds, and play mini-games to level up your flock and make your birds faster…basically turning texting into pigeon training.
Want to wake up on the right side of the bed? Try drinking some water before turning in. Researchers found that drinking about 9 ounces of plain water within 2 hours of bedtime was linked to waking up in a better mood. One possible explanation is mild dehydration. Going several hours without water while sleeping may leave you feeling foggy, irritable or ‘down’ the next morning. The trick is timing: To avoid replacing a good night’s sleep with a few bathroom trips, finish your water about 2 hours before bedtime rather than right before hitting the hay.

THE LIST
REALISTIC WAYS TO MAKE EXTRA SIDE MONEY:
From financial advisor and writer Christopher Liew of Blueprint financial…
☞ Sell
your existing skills: The easiest side income is often charging for
something you already know how to do, whether that’s bookkeeping,
first-aid training, trades work, or marketing. Start with former
employers, colleagues and friends, price by the project rather than
the hour, and check your employment contract for any restrictions.
☞ Rent
out what you already own: Turn unused assets such as a spare room,
parking spot, basement suite or camper into income. Parking spots are
the simplest option, while rentals bring in more but require more
responsibility. But remember that rental income is taxable.
☞ Sell
what you’re not using: Your closets and garage may be hiding
hundreds or even thousands of dollars in unused electronics, tools,
bikes, furniture, etc. Check actual selling prices, take good photos
and price competitively, while remembering that selling your own used
possessions generally isn’t taxable.
☞ Gig
apps can pay, if you work them right: Rideshare and delivery apps
offer quick, flexible income, but timing is everything: focus on busy
periods, use multiple apps and track your vehicle expenses. Judge the
gig by what you actually keep after gas, maintenance, platform fees
and taxes – not by the gross amount shown in the app.
☞ Final thoughts: Extra income doesn’t have to mean starting an entirely new career. Before taking on a side hustle, look at the skills, assets and belongings you already have, run the numbers and make sure you report the income.
