What Are the Signs That Made You Realize You Were Middle Aged?<\/b><\/p>\n

It’s hard to say exactly when you become “middle aged” . . . and maybe it’s more of a FEELING than a specific age.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A new survey found the average person doesn’t believe they’re middle aged until they hit 47.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But the survey also asked people to name the SIGNS that they’re becoming middle aged . . . and those start happening a lot earlier than 47.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are some of the most common answers . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

Feeling stiff . . . groaning when you bend down . . . picking comfort over style with your clothes . . . thinking police officers, teachers, and doctors look really young . . . hating loud bars . . . needing an afternoon nap . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Realizing you have some coworkers who don’t know what a cassette tape is . . . knowing your limit when it comes to drinking . . . hoping you get asked for ID . . . and giving people speeches on “saving” and “investing.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          Can Performing Random Acts of Kindness Make You Healthier?<\/b><\/p>\n

          When people are in a funk, usually they look to diets and exercise to get them feeling good again.\u00a0 But what if you could improve your mood, just by spreading a little more joy?<\/span><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          According to a new study, putting the well-being of others first, without expecting anything in return, stimulates the reward centers of the brain.\u00a0 And this leads to what they call a “helper’s high.”\u00a0 Here are some other kindness suggestions to help you be happier and healthier . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

          \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Volunteer.\u00a0 Find a cause that’s important to you and give them your time.\u00a0 Studies show that volunteering has been shown to minimize stress and improve depression.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Donate.\u00a0 If you have anything left over in your house that you aren’t using, find a way to donate it to help someone else in need.\u00a0 Donating to others has been shown to reduce blood pressure and can even improve your heart health.<\/span><\/li>\n
            2. Give a genuine compliment to someone you care about.\u00a0 Researchers have found that being kind could boost happiness in as little as three days.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Overtip your delivery person.\u00a0 This brave soul is risking COVID just to bring you food, so it should be a no-brainer.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                But if you need more convincing, a new study found that being generous can actually work as a pain reliever.\u00a0 Regions of the brain that react to painful stimulation appear to be instantly deactivated by the experience of giving.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                New Study Proves You Should Never Go to Bed Angry<\/b><\/p>\n

                You know the old clich\u00e9, “Never go to bed angry?”\u00a0 It’s not just something your great aunt once embroidered on a pillow.\u00a0 It turns out there’s some actual scientific evidence behind it.<\/span><\/p>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                A new study at Oregon State University found it really IS bad for you to go to bed angry.<\/span><\/p>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                The researchers found that when couples talked out their arguments and both felt better before they went to sleep, they’d have a MUCH less stressful day the next day . . . because the stress adds up and carries over.<\/span><\/p>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                And they weren’t just better the next day.\u00a0 Their overall well-being was better than couples who went to bed without working through their fights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                OFF-DUTY FIREFIGHTER REMOVES 15,000 BEES FROM CAR IN GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

                Do you think this person was shopping for some honey? A man parked his car in the parking lot of the Albertson\u2019s store in Las Cruces, New Mexico recently, and when he returned 15 minutes later he found thousands of bees flying around inside the Buick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                He called 9-1-1 and firefighters who arrived on the scene summoned Jesse Johnson, age 37, an off-duty firefighter with years of beekeeping experience. Johnson said it\u2019s common for bee colonies to split in the spring, with thousands of the insects and a queen flying off in search of a new home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                He said the vehicle\u2019s open window likely seems like an inviting location. Johnson said it took about a half-hour to remove the bees from the car and transplant them into an empty hive box\u2014he says the bees will join the four hives he keeps at his home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                The fire department said one firefighter and a store security guard were stung by the bees, but no one was seriously injured.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                        Instead, the 81-year-old pensioner is paying for the trouble of discovering the ruins of a long-lost 13th-century palace under his lawn in Somerset, England. Pole, who is disabled and lives on his own, said the palace has caused financial problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                        “It was exciting to hear the site contains something of real significance, but the cost of the investigation is going to cost me around \u00a315,000 (about $26,000) and has delayed the bungalow, Historians in the town of Wiveliscombe had been trying to locate the whereabouts of the building from the Middle Ages for 200 years but were apparently digging around the wrong backyards.<\/span><\/p>\n
