TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Two Dad’s Show Off Baking Skills To Help People During Pandemic

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Two Dad’s Show Off Baking Skills To Help People During Pandemic

You know what they say… if life gives you a global pandemic, bake cookies! I’m not sure that’s actually what they say, but for these two dad’s in Pennsylvania it is.

Jeremy and Scott who are good friends have been at the forefront of a movement to bake cookies for first responders and business owners during the pandemic.  They’ve already delivered more than 15,000 cookies since April.

They started the charity called Cookies for Caregivers to thank first responders and local business owners working during the COVID-19 pandemic and have been keeping it going all year. They both say that it’s been a great way to stay busy, keep their minds off the pandemic, and do something good for others. After all, everybody enjoys a good cookie right? Yum.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do ballpoint pens have a hole in the top of the cap?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do ballpoint pens have a hole in the top of the cap?

You’ve seen it before when using a black or blue ballpoint pen. The little hole in the top of the pen cap. But why?

It’s actually for a very good reason that could save lives! The purpose of the hole is so in the event that someone accidently swallows the pen cap air can still flow through and the person won’t choke or lose their breathing. This can happen to anyone kids or adults. It can be avoided by not chewing on your pens which is a bad habit for a lot of people. But if it does happen, now you know what that little hole is for.

Thank you pen companies, for looking out for our safety,

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: New York Mexican Restaurant Double As Soup Kitchen During Pandemic To Help Others

Many restaurants and small businesses are going through tough times during the pandemic this year. Which makes this story even more touching.

A Mexican restaurant in the South Bronx, NY called La Morada has been all over the news lately, because they have also been operating as a soup kitchen during the pandemic.  They have their usual paying customers, but also serve around 650 free meals a day to people who are out of work. Incredible.
