A lot of people celebrated 2/22/22 yesterday… or as most people referred to it as, “TWOsday”.
But for this one couple here in Connecticut it was an extra special day as they welcomed twins! They two baby boys were born 1 minute apart at St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport.
You’ve probably heard this all your life. Trouble sleeping… have a glass of warm milk before bed to help. But does that actually work? And why?
Depending on the person it certainly can… there are a couple different reasons why. First, milk contains a variety of amino acids which hare the building blocks of proteins. Those proteins help promote good sleep in different ways. The other reason is that drinking a warm glass of milk could be soothing or relaxing to you for personal reasons. Like if your parents used to give you milk before bed when you were a little kid. That can calm your thoughts and set your mind up for a good night’s sleep.
What do you consider to be a date? Anna wasn’t thrilled when she asked her husband if they could have a date night and he told her that they’ve had two date nights every week for the last six weeks. You won’t believe what he considers a “date night”. Do you agree? Catch up with the podcast.
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.
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.
