Is the theory true that states after one is struck by lightning once, one is more likely to be struck again? Because if it is, me, my dad, and a good friend of ours are toast—literal toast people! Keep reading
Well, the latest craze to take the nation and the world by storm is here. I know you have all been dying for the next big thing. The wait is finally over. I think this has taken all of the life cycle of a butterfly to turn into full-fledged hysteria. I know for me personally, I heard about it less than a week ago, and as of this morning it has over 100 million users. So not to be left in the technological dust storm that is Pokemon Go, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and explore all of the benefits of this new frenzy before it is cast onto the ash heap of discarded phone apps.

We’ve all heard that age-old expression about dogs being “man’s best friend.” I grew up with dogs around the house and always enjoyed them. At the same time, I knew there must be more to the relationship than what I had experienced to warrant the title of “best” friend.
