Anyone who is allergic to bees can relate to how scary this story is. Luckily everything turned out okay thanks to one piece of technology and a few quick thinking family members.
A woman in Ohio who’s allergic to bees was outside her house when she got stung ten times by yellow jackets. Yikes! She needed her EpiPen which was in the house but was quickly starting to feel the affects of the stings and couldn’t really move. Her husband wasn’t home at the time but he was able to use it to talk their son and neighbor through the process of using an EpiPen by using the family’s Amazon Echo Show and it’s “drop-in” feature. Which is basically like FaceTime or zoom.
In the end they were able to get the pen and administer the shot to help her. Thankfully the woman was okay. Thanks Alexa!

A friend of mine told me he does this to cure the hiccups and it works every time… peanut butter. But is this actually true? And why does it work? I found out for you.
Turns out he’s actually right. Peanut butter is digested very slowly by the body. The slow digestion process actually changes your breathing and swallowing patterns. There is a nerve called the vagus nerve that reacts differently to the peanut butter and adapts to the new breathing patterns. This in turn eliminates the hiccups.
Wow!
My friend was very serious about the fact that it can’t just be a spoonful either. It has to be globs and globs of peanut butter to really do the trick. Just be careful you don’t choke while trying this cure, but now you at least have a new way to do it with an added bonus of eating delicious peanut butter.

Can you be “just friends” with someone of your preferred sex? Steve Harvey said in an interview that there is no way men and women can have a real platonic relationship, someone will always want something more!

Couples Court: Amelia and John have been dating since high school and even though they’re not engaged yet, she thinks they should have a joint bank account. They live together and obviously marriage is next, but he thinks that they shouldn’t combine their finances until they’re officially married.
