The Grammys were handed out last night, and it was a stripped down performance focused telecast. Kind of refreshing. Highlights were Dua Lipa opening the show, Fantasia Barino channeling Tina Turner, Joni Mitchel, Billy Joel, Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs, and Miley Cyrus.

Someone polled thousands of Americans and asked if they think joint pain and headaches can really predict storms. 52% said yes . . . 24% said no . . . and another 24% said they're not sure. So almost half of us think it MIGHT be B.S.
Around one in four people claimed THEY can feel it in their joints when the weather's changing. And one in six said they can tell because a headache is coming on.
So is it really a thing, or are people just delusional? Turns out there really is some science to back it up.
When a storm is on the way, the air pressure drops. And that can cause the tissue in your body to swell up and irritate your joints, especially if you have arthritis. And yes, it can also cause headaches.

People on social media are talking about the everyday things that people do that are "super disrespectful" to those around them.
Buzzfeed collected a few.
Abandoning stuff in a store, in the wrong place or shelf. If you're too lazy to return it to where you got it, then just hand it to the cashier at the checkout.
Parents who let their kids run amok in public spaces and don't do anything when a kid makes a nuisance of themselves. "The excuse of 'they're just a kid' translates to 'bad parenting.'"
Drivers who just hang out in the left lane . . . driving SLOWLY.
People who park in designated spaces that don't pertain to them . . . like accessible spaces for people with disabilities, or "curbside pick-up" spots.
People who don't clean up after themselves in a communal space . . . like a breakroom, a park, or even a fitting room.
People who just stop walking in the middle of a busy place, like the airport. (OR THE SUPERMARKET!!! YOU KNOW WHO YOU PEOPLE WERE THIS WEEKEND...OR MAYBE YOU DON'T...YOU SHOULD...GEESH!!!) Just move over to the side.
People who cough or sneeze in public and don't cover their mouth . . . or people who spit in public, as they're walking down a sidewalk or something.

The word "disaster" comes from the Italian "disastro," which translates to "evil star." Because in astrology, it was considered unlucky to be born under a bad star.
