A recent survey asked about the annoying things that parents do. Actually, it was probably more concerned with the irritating things that NEW parents do. And 69% of people agreed: It’s annoying when parents use “baby talk” to speak to their children. You might not really want to hear ‘em, but here are some examples of what they mean…
• “Cuddles,” “dolly,” and “night-night” are America’s favorite baby talk words.
• “Night-night,” “tummy,” and “binky” are the top baby talk words people hear young parents say.
• “Boo boo,” “tummy,” and “wuv” are the top baby talk words people use with a romantic partner.
• Nearly half of pet parents admit they use baby talk with their pets.
Other annoying things that parents do: 70% said it’s when parents keep bringing the conversation back to their kids. And 72% are sick of hearing about kids’ bodily functions. The top phrases that non-parents find annoying were found to be: “You’re not a parent, so you wouldn’t understand,” which 68% identified as a sentence they don’t want to hear, followed by, “You think you’re tired now, just wait until you have kids!” (51%).

Heinz
has dropped a new ad, claiming that many people these days are using
the company’s ketchup packets as their workout supplement of
choice. Traditionally, athletes have relied on specialized energy
gels for a quick and easily digestible source of carbs during
extended workouts. We don’t know how practical it is for a
jogger…or a swimmer…or a cyclist…to try to rip the tiny,
tearable corner of a ketchup packet mid-competition, but experts
agree that the science is sound: Having a readily available option
like ketchup packets could offer a crucial energy boost during
training or competition. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/4za6yce8

CBS also recently announced the end of “Young Sheldon”, following a final season of 14 episodes.
Jim Carrey is NOT planning on returning to Whoville anytime soon, contrary to recent online rumors. The reports claim a sequel to “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” is in the works with Carrey attached to return, but his rep has gone on record as saying: “There is no truth to Jim reprising his role as the Grinch in a sequel to The Grinch”. Carrey starred in the live-action 2000 adaptation of Dr. Seuss’s 1957 book, released by Universal Pictures. Universal has not responded to a request for comment.
Two worlds will collide in the next “Karate Kid” movie, which will star both Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan and is set for release Dec. 13, 2024. Sony has dropped a YouTube video announcing a global casting search for the next would-be Karate Kid. Jonathan Entwistle will direct the new film, which will be both a sequel to the original 80s theatrical series and the blockbuster 2010 remake. Macchio will reprise his role as ‘Daniel LaRusso’, whom he played in the original film trilogy and brought back on Netflix’s “Cobra Kai” series. Chan will return to the role of ‘Mr. Han’, a kung fu master based on ‘Mr. Miyagi’, which he played 2010 remake. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/mr4b8fpt

So…now vaping is a sport. Although “cloud chase” contests date back a decade, now, the games are “blowing up” in popularity. Competitive vapers stand back-to-back as they inhale as much vapor as their modified device and lungs allow. Then, they exhale before crowds of “cloud gazers.” Wire gauge, battery and juice utilized all affect the size and density of the cloud. Enthusiasts travel the world to compete for cash prizes, endorsement deals and custom gear in the competitions, put on by vape companies. And blowing out the biggest cloud isn’t the only way to win. Some competitions focus on vaping tricks, like making the cloud of smoke into different shapes, or moving it in intriguing ways.
