Men will say women can never understand bro code because we don’t rate the man they send on errands in their group. But now it’s “settings guy,” and apparently being the man running errands for a group of men is a belittling position 😂😂
My thirteen-year-old son, Evan, took a weekend dishwashing job to save for a matte-black bike with orange lettering. Six months later, the bike still hadn’t appeared. Then his boss called.
“Do you know what Evan does with every paycheck?”
I said he was saving for a bicycle.
Sal went silent.
“Ma’am, you need to sit down. Everything your boy has told you about that money is a lie.”
The reality is that we gained technology and productivity, but somewhere along the way, we lost some of the time we used to spend with the people closest to us.
Mary and Alex shared a humble life in Lagos. Mary ran a small clothing store, dreaming of a better future for them both. When Alex secured admission to a university abroad, he lacked the funds to make it happen. Believing in his potential, Mary made the ultimate sacrifice. She liquidated her boutique's savings, sold her jewelry, and took out a heavy loan to cover his visa
An old man sat beside me on the bus every morning.
We never really talked.
He would simply smile, sit beside me, and stare out the window.
This went on for almost a year.
Then one morning, his seat was empty.
I assumed he was sick.
The next day, he wasn’t there either.
On the third morning, I noticed a small envelope on my seat.

A friend of mine split from her boyfriend last autumn and never bothered changing the Netflix password. She assumed he’d get his own login. He didn’t.
Twelve months later she opens the app and there’s a new profile: heart emoji, a couple selfie, and the name “Date night w/ Chloe.” Watch history is full of stuff they clearly put on together.
She doesn’t cancel the account. She changes that profile name to:
My father gave me $40,000 to invest for him.
One condition.
“Don’t lose my money.”
I told him:
“That’s not how investing works.”
He said:
“Then don’t invest it.”
So I put it into something relatively conservative.
Six months later, it was up $3,200.
I called him.
“Good news. You’re up.”
He said:
“Take it out.”
I laughed.
“Why?”
“Because I need the money.”
I reminded him that we agreed to leave it invested for three years.
He said:
“That was before my roof started leaking.”
When you are in a committed relationship, be mindful of how you interact with people of the opposite sex.
It is not possessiveness or insecurity.
It is about boundaries and respect for your partner.
You may need to change how you talk to others, especially if the conversation is becoming inappropriate or flirtatious.
Since comebacks are a crime now, the FA need to investigate Manchester United’s 2-0 lead that somehow got bottled. 😭
Manchester United clearly fixed the match for financial purposes so they could finally afford to fix their leaking stadium. 😭
