TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: The reason one mom is thanking two quick thinking barista’s for what the did for her daughter
It’s always great to hear stories of people looking out for each other even if they are complete strangers.
This story happened at a Starbucks in Corpus Christi, TX. The mother of the 18-year-old posted what happened on her Facebook page last Friday. Her daughter decided to go to the Starbucks to study when a weird man started bothering her at the table. Talking loudly, trying to get her attention, etc… that’s when the barista’s went into action.
They came up with a clever plan by writing on a cup “Are you okay? Do you want us to intervene? If you do, take the lid off the cup,” and dropping it off to her.
The guy realized what was happening eventually and left the store. Luckily the girl said she didn’t feel threatened at all so everything turned out okay. But what a smart move by those Starbucks workers!
We need more people like this looking out for each other in the world.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why is 2 22 22 “Twosday” so special and will it happen again?
If you haven’t noticed by now from everyone you’ve talked to today and all the posts in your feed… it’s 2/22/2022 AND… it falls on a Tuesday, or TWOSDAY as the internet has dubbed it. So why is this so special and mind blowing?
First of all it won’t happen on a Tuesday again for another 400 years. 2422 will be the next time we can celebrate. Which barring some miracle scientific breakthrough is well past all of our lifetimes.
A few other fun Twosday facts to throw at your friends today…
- This century alone we have already had a couple Onesdays (1/11/11 and 11/11/11)
- There has also been 11 other months with repetitions such as 01/01/01, 06/06/06 and 12/12/12.
- Looking ahead we will have a Threesday on 3/3/33 11 years from now. And a Foursday on 4/4/44 11 years after that.
Fun! I would suggest playing a lot of 2’s and 22’s in the lotto tonight.
