For generations, the old Kansas farmhouse had been the center of the family. Holidays packed every room, cousins slept across couches and floors, and somebody was always moving through the house at all hours. So when footsteps sounded upstairs, nobody thought much about it.The family even joked the house had a ghost.But after Grandma finally moved out and the farmhouse sat mostly empty for the first time in decades, those same sounds became much harder to explain.Family members began hearing footsteps crossing the upstairs hallway while everyone else was downstairs. Doors opened and closed when nobody had entered the house. Multiple relatives experienced the same thing, often completely alone. And no matter how many times someone went upstairs to check, the rooms were always empty.The strangest part was how ordinary it all sounded—as if someone was simply continuing to live in the house long after the family had gone. #RealGhostStories #HauntedFarmhouse #GhostlyFootsteps #ParanormalExperience #KansasHaunting #HauntedHouse #TrueGhostStory #FamilyGhostStory #OldHouseHaunting #SpiritActivityLove real ghost stories?

Family holidays are supposed to create magical memories… so why do they often leave parents exhausted, stressed, and financially stretched? In this episode, Justin and Kylie respond to a mum asking how families can still enjoy meaningful holidays during a cost-of-living crisis — especially when accommodation, food, and travel prices keep climbing. They share the surprising truth about what kids actually remember from holidays, why expensive trips often aren’t worth it for young children, and the low-cost experiences that brought their own family the most joy. If you’ve ever felt guilty for not being able to afford the “Instagram version” of family travel, this conversation will help you rethink what really matters. KEY POINTS Why most young kids care more about pools and friends than expensive destinations The hidden pressure social media creates around family holidays How to create unforgettable memories without leaving your city Why experiences matter more than luxury Simple staycation ideas that genuinely feel special The power of involving kids in planning and saving for holidays How family connection matters more than the destination QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Don’t focus so much on what a traditional holiday looks like. Focus on the experiences that create the memories.” ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Plan one low-cost “novelty day” your kids wouldn’t normally experience Explore a local attraction you’ve never visited before Stop comparing your family holidays to social media highlights Prioritise connection and shared experiences over expensive travel Create a family savings goal together for a future holiday adventure See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Should you keep your Marketing running on holidays, or hit pause and wait for a better day? Jay and Daniel make the case for keeping the engine going, and back it up with actual tactics. Jay breaks down how to mine holiday auto-reply emails for retargeting gold and why long form content tends to perform especially well when people finally have time to read. Daniel explains why consistency beats timing every time, and why skipping one holiday post is how the skipping habit starts. They also get into what is happening with the LinkedIn algorithm right now, why posts are taking 24 to 48 hours to pick up steam, and why that actually works in your favor when everyone else goes quiet on a holiday.

This Day in Legal History: 27th AmendmentOn May 19, 1992, the 27th Amendment to the United States Constitution was officially published in the Federal Register, ending one of the longest and oddest ratification stories in American legal history. The amendment provides that any law changing the compensation of members of Congress cannot take effect until after an election for the House of Representatives has taken place. Put more simply, Congress may vote to change its own pay, but it cannot make that change immediate. The rule gives voters a chance to respond before the pay change takes effect.What makes the 27th Amendment unusual is not only what it says, but how long it took to become law. It was originally proposed by James Madison in 1789 as part of the same set of amendments that produced the Bill of Rights. Most of those amendments were ratified quickly, but this one lingered for more than two centuries. Because Congress had not set a ratification deadline, the amendment remained legally available for state approval. In the 1980s, a renewed ratification campaign helped bring it back to public attention. Michigan became the 38th state to ratify it in May 1992, giving it the three-fourths approval required by Article V of the Constitution.The amendment's publication in the Federal Register on May 19 marked the formal public recognition that it had become part of the Constitution. Its ratification raised a serious legal question about whether an amendment proposed in the 18th century could still be valid in the 20th century. The answer, at least for amendments without a deadline, was yes. The 27th Amendment stands as a reminder that constitutional change can move slowly, sometimes across generations, and still become binding law.The Supreme Court agreed to hear a case about whether Title IX's protections against sex discrimination in federally funded education programs extend to employees, including college professors and coaches. The case was brought by former Augusta University professor Thomas Crowther and former Georgia Tech women's basketball coach MaChelle Joseph, both of whom lost their jobs after workplace-conduct investigations. Crowther claimed Augusta University retaliated against him and discriminated against him based on sex after it suspended him and declined to renew his contract. Joseph argued that Georgia Tech fired her in retaliation for her complaints about unequal treatment of women's athletics and female athletes. Their cases reached the Eleventh Circuit together, where the court ruled that Title IX clearly protects students, but that its application to employees is less certain. That ruling placed the Eleventh Circuit on one side of a broader circuit split.The Fifth, Seventh, and Eleventh Circuits have taken a narrower view of Title IX employment claims, while the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Circuits have allowed employees to bring certain Title IX claims. The solicitor general agreed with the Eleventh Circuit's narrower reading but urged the Supreme Court to take the case because lower courts are divided. The case gives the justices a chance to decide whether professors, coaches, and other school employees can use Title IX directly to sue for workplace sex discrimination or retaliation.High Court To Examine Title IX Protections For Coaches, Profs - Law360A New York state judge partially granted Luigi Mangione's request to keep certain evidence out of his upcoming murder trial. Mangione is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel in December 2024 and has pleaded not guilty. Justice Gregory Carro ruled that police unlawfully searched Mangione's backpack during his arrest in Pennsylvania without a warrant. Because of that, some items found during the first search, including a loaded handgun magazine, a cellphone, and a computer chip, will be suppressed. But the judge allowed other evidence from a later police-station search of the backpack, including a gun, silencer, USB drive, and red notebook.Carro also rejected Mangione's effort to suppress his initial statements to police, finding that they were not obtained through an illegal interrogation. The ruling gives the defense a partial win, but prosecutors say they still have substantial evidence tying Mangione to the shooting, including DNA, fingerprints, video footage, and other items. Mangione's state trial is scheduled to begin on September 8 and is expected to last about six weeks. He also faces separate federal charges, though earlier rulings in that case removed the possibility of the death penalty.Judge grants accused CEO killer Mangione's bid to suppress evidence due to unlawful search | ReutersState lawmakers have rejected dozens of anti-vaccine bills backed by Make America Healthy Again supporters, showing limits to the movement's influence in state legislatures. The bills sought to roll back or end policies such as school vaccination requirements, but public health groups and medical associations mounted successful opposition campaigns. Groups including American Families for Vaccines and the American Academy of Pediatrics argued that vaccine mandates remain broadly supported and are important for public health. Their strategy focused especially on Republican-controlled states, where advocates used polling and personal appeals to persuade lawmakers that opposing vaccines could be both medically risky and politically unpopular. Anti-vaccine proposals increased this year because MAHA-aligned groups coordinated efforts across multiple states. Still, bills failed in places including Idaho, West Virginia, Tennessee, South Dakota, Florida, and Iowa. The debate is unfolding as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime vaccine skeptic, has taken steps against mandatory immunization policies, though some changes have been paused in litigation. Both sides expect the issue to continue, with anti-vaccine advocates encouraged by hearings and organizing momentum, while public health advocates say more legislation is likely to appear in future sessions.US states reject anti-vaccine bills as public health groups fight MAHA | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week argues that a federal gas tax holiday would be a poor answer to rising gas prices because it would do little for household affordability while further weakening transportation funding. Gas prices are being driven by forces Congress cannot easily fix by statute, including conflict involving Iran and instability around the Strait of Hormuz.Lawmakers are nevertheless showing bipartisan interest in suspending the federal gas tax, including President Donald Trump, Sen. Josh Hawley, and House Speaker Mike Johnson. The political appeal is clear because gas prices are highly visible and give lawmakers a simple way to say they are responding to voters' economic pain. But the federal gas tax has been frozen at 18.4 cents per gallon since 1993, even as infrastructure costs have continued to rise. Suspending it would take revenue away from the Highway Trust Fund, which helps pay for highways, roads, bridges, and mass transit.The column argues that Congress should separate the problem of household hardship from the problem of transportation finance. Instead of cutting the gas tax, lawmakers could provide targeted help through refundable credits, direct payments, commuter assistance, or flexible transportation support for low- and moderate-income households.If Congress insists on a gas tax holiday, it should at least pair it with an immediate dedicated backfill and longer-term reforms such as indexing the gas tax to inflation, adopting mileage-based fees, or modernizing road-use charges. The larger point is that high gas prices are real, but a gas tax holiday is a badly targeted discount financed by a transportation system that is already financially strained.

Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, and for many of us, summer brings familiar alcohol cues: barbecues, beach trips, camping weekends, and backyard gatherings.In this episode, Molly shares how to head into holiday weekends and summer events with more clarity, confidence, and peace. You'll learn how the habit loop of cue, behavior, and reward can show up around seasonal drinking, why cravings are not a sign that you're powerless, and how to make a simple plan that supports the version of you who wants to drink less.Whether you plan to drink or not, this episode will help you stay curious, avoid shame, and create more conscious choices around alcohol all summer long.Resources Mentioned: Unwinding Anxiety by Dr. Jud Brewer The Craving Mind by Dr. Jud Brewer Dopamine Nation by Dr. Anna Lembke Sunnyside Med The Alcohol Minimalists: Change Your Drinking Habits Facebook groupKey takeaway: You don't need rigid rules to change your summer drinking habits. You need awareness, curiosity, and a peaceful plan.Choose peace.Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Send Ken a Text Message about the PodcastVisiting a Loved One in Memory Care: Emotions, Adjustments, and Finding JoyKen shares what he has learned from five years of visiting his wife, Shana, in memory care, focusing on the emotions and common circumstances families face. He describes stages from the difficult move-in period—emotional shock, learning to live apart, guilt, shifting from full-time caregiver to advocate, and figuring out visit frequency—to finding a sustainable rhythm and shortening visits as Shanna tires more easily. He discusses getting involved with staff, residents, and activities, adjusting holidays and outings as Shanna's tolerance declines, and creating meaningful traditions like their anniversary dinner and storytelling with music. Ken emphasizes accepting constant change, letting go of expectations and what's out of control, adapting to Shana's physical decline, and choosing interpretations that preserve joy in small moments.00:00 Visiting Memory Care Fears 00:27 Episode Setup and Purpose02:19 Stage One Move In Shock07:50 Guilt and Visit Anxiety10:10 Building Support and Community11:49 Months Six to Twelve Rhythm15:19 Boredom to Finding Joy19:41 Holidays and Traditions22:48 Why Visits Still Matter24:15 Later Years New Limitations28:25 Preparing for the End30:47 Lessons and Final Story30k dl and upcoming webinar Get the FREE Guide to Responding to Repeated Questions Visit the Surviving Alzheimer's Podcast Website (survalz.com) to Register for the Support Group, Newsletter and more ...Visit the Podcast Facebook page

What's up, dudes? It's the toy company that practically owned Christmas morning in the mid-80s! Yes, it's Mattel — the plastic powerhouse behind Barbie, He-Man, Hot Wheels, and enough colorful cardboard packaging to completely bury your living room floor! Today we're talking the 1984 Mattel Christmas Wish List!Mattel goes all the way back to 1945, when Harold “Matt” Matson and Elliot Handler started a small company making picture frames. Eventually they pivoted from household goods to toys, and by the time the 1980s rolled around, Mattel had become an absolute giant in the toy industry. Barbie ruled the fashion aisle, Hot Wheels dominated the race track, and Masters of the Universe transformed action figures into a fantasy phenomenon.This Wish List provides a huge variety of toys. From Barbie Dream Houses to Snake Mountain, there's something for everyone. Crystal Barbie shimmered like Christmas tree tinsel, and Rainbow Brite practically turned the entire catalog into a neon explosion of color. Of course, Castle Grayskull towered over all of them!Secret Wars Tower of Doom? Check. Hot Wheels Crack-Ups? Rad! Poochie stationery and stamps? Absolutely! So grab your Battle Cat, fire up your Attak Trak, and circle your favorites in this 1984 Mattel Christmas Wish List!Give us a buzz!

What does it really take to build a life abroad when your career, visa options, and personal circumstances don't neatly fit the mold? In this episode, Ali Dubrow shares how she went from a U.S.-based reality TV career to designing a freedom-based life in France, with visa roadblocks, a big dog, and strong family ties.Key TakeawaysThe “move first vs. build first” decision isn't one-size-fits-all. Your energy, finances, and lifestyle constraints matter more than generic advice.Moving abroad before hitting $3-5K/month can sometimes be the faster, easier path, especially if your current environment is draining your time, money, or motivation.There are flexible “stepping stone” visa options and countries that let you live affordably while building your business.Building first makes sense if you have stability, time, and a strategic reason to wait; but it should come with a clear timeline, not an open-ended delay.At the end of the day, the right path is the one that gets you moving - not the one that keeps you stuck “preparing” forever. Whether you decide to move first or build first, the goal is the same: create momentum and design a life that actually works for you.Subscribe and ReviewIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!
