October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an international health campaign observed every October to promote early detection, raise funds for research, and support those impacted by the disease. It emphasizes the importance of mammograms, educates on risk factors, and honors survivors while advocating for advanced metastatic treatments. More than 2 million women around the world are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. Every year, more than 4,000 women and about 10-30 men will be d


Is Being Affected By A Full Moon A Real Thing?
There is a myth that a full moon will affect how someone is or how chaotic a night will be. People associate a full moon with how people act, especially in hospitals and with law enforcement, but there's been no real proof that a full moon causes people to act differently, but it can affect sleep. You may have noticed you have trouble sleeping, concentrating, or remaining calm during a full moon. It’s common to feel this way because the energy of the full moon stirs up your e


The Curse Of Billy Boils
After all these years of watching 911, my favorite Halloween episode is Masks. Even with the crazy storylines that the show has, this episode is one that shows just how crazy one little mishap can really drive the characters crazy. In the episode, the 118 is hosting a halloween event and it was during that event where Buck accidentally rips the arm off what he thought was a fake prop, but he later finds out that it was real, causing him to think he’s cursed after learning mor


Mickey Mantle | The Commerce Comet
Growing up, Mickey spent a lot of time playing baseball with his father, Charles “Mutt” Mantle and his grandfather. It was at a young age that he was taught to bat from both sides of the plate and depending on what arm the pitcher threw with, he would swing from the opposite side. Mickey’s father pitched right handed and Mickey would hit left handed while his grandfather pitched left handed, Mickey would hit from the right side of the plate. Mickey had considered himself a be


The Poltergiest Curse
Do you think the Poltergeist movie trilogy was cursed or was it just a coincidence that so many things had happened on set and caused the deaths of its cast members? Dominique Dunne was 22 years old when she was strangled by her ex-boyfriend. He had showed up at her house wanting to talk. A fight broke out and the ex attacked Dominique. She went into a coma, never regained consciousness and passed away five days later. Just weeks before her 23rd birthday. John Thomas Sweeney


I Had High Hopes For My Blog
When I started my blog in 2009, I hoped that within a couple years, it would develop a following and I would have some sort of a fanbase. I hoped that people would come back on a regular basis and read about my daily life, my thoughts and just about anything that was on my mind. I hoped that I would make connections, make some friends and just be able to be there for someone, but as time went on and the more I posted, it felt like nobody was listening. I always always hoped


Kids On Social Media
Parents shouldn’t post pictures or videos of their kids online. Even if the child isn't the one posting videos and pictures themselves, it's dangerous. I knew more about other people’s kids than I should because of how often people post about them. People share so much information about their kids online that anyone is able to access them at any point. The more you tell us, the easier it is for a stranger to be able to track your child down. Anybody can look you up and show


What Is Alexithymia?
Feelings and emotions are challenging for everyone, especially if we’re in a situation where telling someone how we’re feeling can’t be said because of what’s going on, but if you have alexithymia, it's a personality trait meaning you have no words for emotion. Not having the right words to express how you feel is hard. You don’t know what to say or what to do. The feelings that we have on a daily basis is frustrating because we don’t understand why it's happening. People w


The Ballad Of Terry Fox
Terry Fox was a young man who was diagnosed with cancer at 18 years old and due to the type of cancer and where it was located, his right left was amputated. Once Terry recovered, he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. His goal was to collect one dollar from every Canadian. He started his run in St. John's, Newfoundland and he was going to make his way back home in British Columbia. He dripped his right leg in the Atlantic Ocean before he started


Do You Believe In Second Chances?
Do you think if you went no contact with someone, would you give them a second chance if they were able to prove they respected and valued you as a person? When I think about who I’ve distanced myself from, I wonder if they know about it. Do they take the time to figure out that I’ve taken them off social media or deleted their number off my phone? Do they think about what they’ve done to make someone cut them out of their life? I wonder if people really change after finding
