We talked about the snooze button the other day, and that 63% of people say sleeping in makes them happier.
Here are a few random trade-offs we'd be willing to make if it meant we'd get an extra hour of sleep every night . . .
1. Never use a spoon or knife to eat again? 33% say they'd do it.
2. Give up your favorite streaming service for a year? 30%.
3. Eat the same dinner every day? 28%.
4. Never go to a concert or sporting event again? Also 28%.
5. Sleep on the floor for a month? 24% said yes.

Most of the "That '70s Show" gang will be reunited for the Netflix sequel series "That '90s Show". We already knew Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp were coming back as Red and Kitty and now, Topher Grace (Eric), Mila Kunis (Jackie), Ashton Kutcher (Kelso), Laura Prepon (Donna), and Wilmer Valderrama (Fez) will all be making guest appearances.
The only one missing is Danny Masterson (Hyde), let's just say he has some legal problems.
Kurtwood shared a sneak peek photo of himself and Debra Jo on set and said, quote, "Same Red and Kitty. Different decade." And Topher shared a photo wearing a Point Place Vikings Class of '77 shirt and said, quote, "Yup, still fits."
In case you missed the show announcement last October, "That '90s Show" will be 10 episodes and it takes place in Wisconsin in 1995. It's about Leia, the daughter of Eric and Donna, as she spends the summer with her grandparents Red and Kitty.

Some woman went on Reddit and told the story of how her dog kept PASSING GAS. And the smell was so bad, she was worried it might have a medical issue.
She compared it to rotten eggs, and took him to the vet to see if something was wrong. But the tests kept coming back clean, so even the vet was stumped. They changed the dog's diet, and that didn't help.
But then five weeks . . . and several thousand dollars later . . . she found out what was really going on.
It turned out her HUSBAND was the one laying all those biscuits, and he BLAMED it on the dog.
She was so angry, she kicked him out of the house for the night, and told him he had to pay half of the vet bills. It was her dog, apparently, so she was the one who paid upfront. Most people think he should have paid for ALL of it though.
In the end, she made him go to the doctor . . . and he had to change HIS diet.
