friends

Over the weekend my family and I went camping with four other families. By the end of the camping trip a few people had new nicknames for each other. The nick names ranged from dreamsicle to cupcake.

I'm not sure most people lose sleep over being defriended on Facebook . . . it's like, "Oh no, my old coworker from 1998 doesn't want to look at my vacation photos anymore!  How will I survive?" But if you do worry about it, researchers with LiveScience at Arizona State University used focus groups and studies to come up with these ten SCIENTIFICALLY-PROVEN rules to keep people from de

I have a lot of friends who have their own business's and I think it is important to support them. That being said, I am pretty sure someone older and wiser once told me to never hire my friends because it will always turn out badly.

Apparently, you can use Facebook to tell if someone's popular . . . or a self-absorbed, self-righteous narcissist.  Just check if they have more than 800 Facebook friends.

I like my co-workers and I have to admit that I know some of them better than I know my closest friends just because I spend a lot of time with them. Although, I have learned over the years that it can be a bad idea to hang out with co-workers socially. On the other hand some of my old co-workers are truly my best friends. So which way is the right way...to hang out or not to hang out?

A friend of mine called me last night and asked if I would set him up with a co-worker of mine. I automatically said, "sure" without even thinking about it. Later that I night I was thinking about when I would tell my co-worker, and it hit me...maybe it isn't such a good idea to set them up.

I like seeing all of my Facebooks friends posts. I love it when they tell everyone what they are up too, I love it when they complain about silly things and I really love it when they post super cute pictures of their kids.

I have some good friends who live out of town. They have always told me to call them if I ever needed a place to stay. So I decided to take them up on their offer. I called my friends to make arrangements for the weekend and the response I got was disappointing, she said, "Well, I guess we can rearrange our schedule"...

I take a local exercise class twice a week in Twin Falls. One of the reasons I like this class so much is that it gives me a chance to have a little interaction with adults. Don't get me wrong, I love my interaction with my kids, but I can only talk about Thomas and Friends for so many hours.

If you're deep in debt, here's a tiny bit of relief.  You know that debt collector who's been trying to hunt you down?  Now he can't legally harass your long lost friends from elementary school to get you to pay up. Apparently, debt collectors have been trying to SHAME people into paying up by tracking them down on Facebook . . . then harassing their FACEBOOK FRIENDS.

Your friends can be a big help when you're trying to lose weight:  They can work out with you, give you advice, and offer you encouragement.  But some friends can actually PREVENT you from losing weight, and you might not even realize it. Here are three types of friends who can derail your diet. #1.)  The Friend Who Doesn't Like To See You Struggle.  If your friend tells you that you seem miserabl

Apparently the key to being popular ISN'T being really good at football.  Nope . . . you just have to have a LARGE HEAD.  An evolutionary anthropologist at Oxford University just finished a study that found a person's number of friends was connected to the size of their BRAIN.
