Leaving aside the issue of whether pouring hard liquor on an arrow wound does any good (you notice the characters doing so in films don’t exactly have a ton of options), it doesn’t sound so crazy. Alcohol kills germs, after all—heck, it’s the main ingredient in hand sanitizer! And vodka is pretty dang strong as alcohol goes. Wouldn’t it stand to reason it’d kill germs and viruses on your hands?...

Bricklebaum, voiced by SNL’s Kenan Thompson, is the jolliest Who in all of Whoville and super pumped about Christmas. He’s also neighbors with the most cantankerous being in Whoville or… whatever it is the Grinch actually is. The Grinch’s nastiness does not at all diminish Bricklebaum’s holiday cheer. Bricklebaum even considers his neighbor to be his best friend, though obviously, the Grinch feels quite differently. Thompson talks with Fatherly about voicing this very high-energy character....
This pledge was one of the more aggressive statements Biden made during the transition, both due to its aggressiveness and the logistical problems in opening schools when they’re largely under local and state control. Add that to teacher’s unions understandably protecting their members and students in negotiations with school systems, demanding time-consuming steps like installing adequate ventilation and waiting for teachers to be vaccinated before they return to the classroom, and it’s clear that Biden’s promise to reopen most schools by the end of the first 100 days is a genuinely ambitious one....
READ MORE: The Fatherly Guide to Screen Time The American Academy of Pediatrics‘ findings on how much screen time is appropriate for early childhood development isn’t much of a finding at all — some is good, a lot is bad, but mostly the kind of media they’re consuming is paramount. So while the debate hasn’t been settled yet, you can still weigh the arguments for and against allowing your kids to consume games, TV, and other electronic-based content by looking at this screen....

FaceApp is a smartphone application that uses the technology to demonstrate a variety of “What if” scenarios for your face. “What if your hair was a different color,” “what if you were the opposite gender,” etc. The company got in some hot water with a “what if you were (insert race)” a few years ago — for obvious reasons — but it’s struck viral social media gold with its latest filter, “what if you were old,” which is essentially the “Mommy, What Will I Look Like?...

High-quality wallets are, like most baseball gloves, made of cowhide, but because the cowhide never gets worked in beyond the area near the fold, the leather tends to be perfectly smooth or even feel lightly laminated. And it doesn’t give off that Little League smell. Fielder’s Choice wallets, because they’ve all lived other lives, have a nostalgic smell and a well-earned softness. They feel personal. Fielder’s Choice figured out what set their product apart....
In the popular Disney movie, Olaf was just kind of there. No one seemed to question how he was moving and talking or really where he came from, why he loves summer, and what happened when Elsa created him and how Anna reacted when she first met him. Well, answers to these pressing questions are just around the corner. Once Upon a Snowman, a new short that’s coming to Disney+ sets out to answer all those questions we’ve had since the first Frozen movie that wasn’t answered in Frozen 2....

Fascinatingly — and a bit unexpectedly — as Beck has branched out and grown his brand, he has also become more introspective. Has he changed his mind on abortion or gun control? He has not. But he has, in a sense, changed his mind about Glenn Beck. What Beck is publically reconsidering is the effect of polarization and political demonization of both liberals and conservatives, which he now acknowledges has created serious problems for America....
“He Doesn’t Listen.” Therapists agree that this is one of the more common complaints women have about their husbands. Communication is, of course, essential, but it tends to dry up. When this happens, frustration builds and many wives say they’re forced to ask their husbands again and again about something. This leads to accusations of nagging and more frustration. “The persistence of this complaint is related to chronic power struggles and repetitive conflicts in which partners begin their conversations by listing the other person’s faults and shortcomings, leading to too much attack and self-protection,” says relationship expert, psychologist, and therapist Polly Young-Eisendrath, Ph....
Watches are also something we pass down. As we have given our children the gift of time, it seems fitting to give them a way to measure its passing and to use it well, fleeting as it is. Of course, they also serve as a reminder of us, of our relationship and our love. An heirloom you wore day in, day out is a gift that will resonate and they will cherish....
Home Depot, Walgreens, Walmart, and Target have all instituted new rules to help keep customers safe during essential shopping. Hopefully, these new rules will help limit the risk of spreading COVID-19 when shopping, which obviously cannot be eliminated outright but can help keep the curve flattened. Home Depot Home Depot has announced it will limit the number of customers in each store and will only allow customers in one at a time, to help limit overcrowding at the entrances of the stores and within the stores themselves....

Inevitably, the divorce will tear or strain the safety net one used to share with their spouse — including health insurance. Understanding how the dissolution of a marriage affects those products can help put parents on solid footing after the split....
“I need to talk to you about the fact that your father is gay,” he said. I said nothing. I can still remember being struck by the strangeness of him telling me in the third person. It seemed both impossible and inevitable; a fact that, to my mind at the time, seemed like it should have negated my existence. And yet it was also a fear I’d been avoiding and sweeping under the rug ever since the happy “normal” life we once had fell apart without adequate explanation....
My wife and I maintain a pretty active sex life. We have two kids, jobs, and a lot of other obligations, but we prioritize time with one another because it’s important. Plus, hey, we enjoy having sex with one another and I’d like to keep it that way. I know plenty of couples where that isn’t the case. Anyway, one night after the kids were in bed, my wife and I had some wine and were a little bit more um, amorous, than normal....
When it comes to lawn care, there are two types of homeowners: those who pay others to do the work, and masochists. I came to this realization one recent Monday morning following a weekend of yard work. I could barely raise my arms and my legs felt like I was walking in quicksand. Yet I couldn’t stop admiring the lines in my freshly cut grass nor thinking about what I would do differently next time....
