Man Busted With Weed: His Excuse Was Perfection

Drug dealers and potheads alike, we here at Life Daily have a public service announcement:

If the cops pull you over with marijuana in the car, do not try to convince them you were simply “buying a salad.” The St. Mary’s Police Department of Georgia recently pulled a man over who claimed the 1lb bag of marijuana in his car was a salad. The cops weren’t buying his tale. They posted a photo of the confiscated “salad” on Facebook with the following caption:

No matter how hard you try to convince us this green leafy stuff is salad and you’re just coming back from the store going to make a chef salad, Well Sous Check UP! A SALAD THIS IS NOT!!

Richard Reliford (the umm…chef) was arrested and jailed according to the Facebook post.
Naturally, the internet, who is rarely shy about chiming in their two cents, had a few things to add.
Facebook user, Lisa Toal commented, “and I was going to offer up some ranch dressing!”
While Steven Wiggs, another user commented that somebody needed to arrest Reliford’s drug dealer. “If that’s supposed to be a pound…he just got robbed LOL. (Or so I’ve be told).” Nice save Steven Wiggs…nice save.

And in case you’re wondering what Reliford’s bagged chef salad looks like, St. Mary’s made sure to post the photo to Facebook:

Motivation Monday: 5 Signs You Need to Slow Down

Photo by old.vifin.dk

When you’re constantly over-stressed and over-exerted, you begin to lose sight of how unbalanced, and un-sustainable your lifestyle really is. Unfortunately, we are taught to ignore the warning signs until a major health crisis arises. However, by that point, the damage has already been done.

Don’t wait until you get some scary, life-altering diagnosis to realize that you need to slow down. Instead, start looking out for these five small signs, which will tell you if you need to reevaluate your fast-paced lifestyle.

5. You’re always sick.

When you’re overextending yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally, things start falling through the cracks. Your body’s ability to fight off infections plummets, and you’ll find yourself with a constant cough and cold. If you find you’re always feeling under the weather, it might be time to start listening to your body, and figuring out how you’re overexerting yourself.

4. You’re constantly on the phone.

If you’re compulsively checking your phone and scrolling through newsfeeds any chance you get, you’re creating a bad habit where you focus your attention and energy outwards, instead of using that time to process and deal with your emotions and the stress in your life. Despite the relief of an instant distraction, you’re problems and stress levels will only sore as you neglect to properly deal with unpleasantries.

3. You can’t sleep.

When you’re over-stressed for a prolonged period of time, the body’s nervous system is so overwhelmed that even falling asleep is a struggle. Instead of taking a sleep-aid, which will only mask the real issue, try paying more attention to what’s triggering your stress and remove them as best as possible.

2. You’ve developed a beer belly- even though you don’t drink that much.

If you feel like you’re eating all the right things, but can’t get rid of the gut that you’ve developed, chances are your body is trying to tell you to slow down and de-stress. Studies have found a link between an excess of the stress hormone, cortisol, and excess belly fat. Cortisol has been shown to stimulate the production of fat cells around the belly, which also increases your risk of stroke, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

1. You can barely find the time to eat, never-mind care about what you’re eating.

If you’re so busy that you can barely set aside enough time to pull through a drive-through, let alone make a home-cooked meal, you definitely need to slow down. However, when you don’t provide your body with all the nutrients it needs to function properly, you’ll be less able to cope with challenges, which will only increase stress.

This adorable owl is named Oakley, and he was hand-raised at the Eagle Valley Raptor Center in Kansas. 

Oakley was given his own stuffed owl in his pen to keep him company until he felt comfortable socializing with other owls.

“He is always leaning against the stuffed owl. It gives him comfort and keeps him from stressing,” an Eagle Valley volunteer says in the video.

In this recently surfaced video, Oakley is shown getting funky to Bobby Pickett’s Halloween classic “Monster Mash.” Little Oakley bobs his head back and forth, and is perfectly in time with the music.

To make the video even better, the stuffed owl bobs along too in the YouTube video titled- “Oakley” & The Oaklettes Learn to move with the Grove!

Since this video was uploaded, Oakley was released into the wild, and we hope he’s out there sharing his awesome moves with his fellow owls.

Watch Oakley dance to “Monster Mash” to get you in the halloween spirit:

5 Seemingly Harmless Things That Are as Dangerous as Smoking

Photo by www.huffingtonpost.com

We’ve all been warned about the dangers of smoking cigarettes, but even if you don’t smoke, you might be putting your health at risk every single day. Turns out, all of those late nights, sides of bacon, and pairs of uncomfortable shoes are more harmful to your health than you think. In fact- they’re as dangerous as smoking.

Take a look at the five seemingly harmless things that are just as bad for your health as cigarettes.

5. Not Getting Enough Sleep

According to the National Sleep Foundation, adults should be getting between seven to nine hours of sleep each night, however most people fail to reach that recommendation. Going to sleep an hour past bedtime might seem harmless, but over time, sleep deprivation can cause high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, and obesity.

One study found that people who get less than six or seven hours of sleep had a similar mortality rate compared to cigarette smokers.

4. Texting

Many people spend just as much time sleeping as they do hunched over on their phones, computers, or tablets, so it’s no surprise that ‘text neck’ is becoming a huge problem for people of every age. The bad posture is caused by leaning the head over towards the phone or screen, and that strain on the neck creates muscle tension which will injure the spine, and cause herniated discs and pinched nerves.

3. Wearing Uncomfortable Shoes

We’ve all told ourselves ‘pain is beauty’ at one time or another in an attempt to justify a painful fashion or beauty trend, but it turns out you shouldn’t take that pain in stride.

In particular, wearing uncomfortable shoes, like high heels, put the wearer at a greater risk of falls, and has also been shown to have a huge effect on posture, and even cause spine and feet degeneration.

2. Sitting for Too Long

For many people, sitting at a desk all day is part of the job description, but sitting at a desk for prolonged periods of time has been shown to have an array of negative health effects, even for people who exercise regularly. Sitting for long periods of time increases your risk of heart disease, depression, diabetes, and types of cancer.

According to a study conducted at the Pennington Biomedical Research Centers, people who spend more time sitting have a shorter lifespan regardless of age, wights, or level of exercise.

1. Processed Meat

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), processed meats like bacon, hot dogs, and ham have been shown to cause cancer, and have likened the food to other known carcinogens like alcohol, cigarettes, asbestos, and arsenic.

The report said that eating just 50g of processed meat, which is less than two slices of meat, everyday increased the chance of developing colorectal cancer by 18 percent. The WHO also went on to link all red meat to cancer, although there was less definitive proof.

Are you shocked that these seemingly harmless everyday activities are as bad for your health as smoking cigarettes? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

7 Reasons Taco Bell Would Make A Fabulous Lover

It’s time to have a serious talk, kiddies.

Image Credit: Giphy
Image Credit: Giphy

No matter the kind of relationship you are in, it doesn’t compare with how great that relationship could be if your partner was Taco Bell.

Maybe my thoughts on the subject are slightly radical and maybe I’ve been dating the wrong kinds of people, but no man has ever satisfied me quite as much as TB. When it comes to the meat department, most men just don’t measure up to the triple steak stack (sorry, gents).

Taco Bell will always be there for me in ways men have not. Here’s why I’d rather be in a relationship with Taco Bell any day of the week.

1. It’s Saturday night (at 1am) and you’re drunk. Who you gonna call?

You could reach out to that guy you met at the bar, but chances are his ass is drunker than yours. You could try to coax him into coming over to your place for a mediocre hookup, or you could have guaranteed satisfaction in the form of triple cheesy goodness.

2. Taco Bell offers a unique array of personality traits you’ll never find in your partner

I know I don’t have to specify what I’m talking about. Taco Bell is both sweet and spicy. It’s comforting and sexy. It is naughty and nice.

No matter what tastes your pallet longs for, Taco Bell has a taste that can satisfy.

3. Taco Bell is financially considerate

Taco Bell will never make you stretch your budget too far. You’d be pressed to find yourself on an inconsiderate date with that cheesy goddess. She will never take advantage of your good nature by ordering an item on the menu worth market price.

Instead, Taco Bell is aware of your humble budget and takes it into consideration when the two of you do go out on a date.

4. Taco Bell is not afraid to try new things

If Taco Bell created Doritos Locos Tacos, they’re proving they’re willing to stir things up and step outside its comfort zone. Whether it be taking risks on a business venture or a spontaneous road trip, TB would be game. And if you’re looking to shake things up in spicier realms, Taco Bell would be game with that too.

5. Taco Bell is always willing to improve the bland with a pop of flavor

Certain aspects of the relationship feeling bland? Bam! Have some mild sauce! Still too weak? Boom! Here’s hot sauce! Need warmer? Thwack! There’s Fire sauce! Feeling blue today? Ka-pow! Salsa verde, now you’re green. Taco Bell is not just there for you physically, it is there for you emotionally too.

6. Taco Bell willingly informs you of its whereabouts

You never have to worry about Taco Bell giving you the silent treatment, nor do you have to worry about it sneakily going behind your back. Taco Bell won’t be clingy either.

Taco Bell is the cool significant other who’s all like, “hey girl, go out and have a good time with your friends. When you’re ready for me, I’ll be waiting for you on the corner of 9th and 2nd. If you choose to go uptown, I’ll be waiting for you there too. Wherever you want me, I’m there, babe. I’ll even wait up for you until 1am or later.”

7. Taco Bell is sexy and you know it!

‘Nuff said

15 Red Flags You Are Dating A Narcissist

$

Contrary to popular belief, narcissism has little to do with vanity.

Sure, the Millennial generation is commonly criticized for being a bunch of lazy narcissists just because we don’t want to spend the prime of our life sitting behind a desk and choose to use that time post selfies instead. While it may appear that vanity on social media is a form of narcissism, it commonly falls more into the category of simply being insecure or seeking validation.

True narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a type of personality disorder that had roots tracing back to childhood. Amber Salvador, a clinical psychologist at Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital, says narcissism has to do with a lack of empathy for others combined with over-estimating ones own importance. Typically, psychologists have said it results in children who were given many material possessions, but didn’t receive love or support from their parents.

About 1% of the population today suffers from NPD, and if you can relate to the following, then congratulations, you have dated the 1%:

  1. The number one red flag of dating a narcissist is how they sweep you off your feet: You fall for them quickly and find yourself doing things you typically wouldn’t under ordinary circumstances. They love you like nobody has ever loved you before and you find yourself quickly aligning your personality and ideals with theirs.
  2. They seem too good to be true: The narcissist will present to you not only their ideal self, but they show you the ideal of what a relationship should be…you think.
  3. They want to know everything about you: This person will be extremely interested in you right from the start. They want to know everything about you from your interests, and your childhood, to your dreams. Narcissists will make you feel safe and want to be honest sharing because you feel like you could easily trust them. They will even share a little bit about their own past and their own issues, luring you into a false sense of security.
  4. Narcissists appear to have a lot of friends: However, they’re bad at keeping them around for a long time. They go through friendships quicker than you go through underwear.
  5. Narcissists are also constantly going through relationships: They may say that the relationship ended a long time ago, but really they’re constantly getting in and out of a relationship. They repeat old patterns as they quickly dive into new situations and leave a trail of tears in their wake.
  6. They make you feel like a million bucks: A narcissist will show you off to everybody they know like you are the gem in their collection. They make you feel like you are the epitome of all things great as they lull you into a false sense of security. Beware of anybody who wants to introduce you to their friends too quickly.
  7. Narcissists are very forceful sexually: The way they are attracted to you will make you feel irresistible while also giving you a weird feeling in your gut. Narcissists are categorized by their intensity and you will feel like they can’t get enough of you. They’re forceful and they’ll try to wear down your will within the first date or two. Similarly, you will feel an unparalleled sexual connection with them making it easy for them to wear down that will.
  8. They tend to move a lot: Narcissists are usually between jobs, just starting a new job, or new in town. They have difficulty sticking to one place and often find themselves lost in the throes of change.
  9. Their failures are always somebody else’s fault: A narcissist will blame the world for why they don’t have money, a job, or a car. It has nothing to do with their own poor choices; they just happen to be the victims of circumstance. Narcissists are bad at taking accountability.
  10. Their ex-boyfriends or girlfriends are often a psycho: If somebody is quick to harshly judge, condemn, or slander their ex, they may be a narcissist. Every relationship has its baggage but if they are too quick to spill their former lover’s lag, it’s a serious red flag.
  11. They may have had one “minor” indiscretion in the past: They’ll own up to cheating once or twice, but defend themselves and tell you it was completely acceptable. They may even be skilled enough with their words that you fall for it and say, “yeah, that seems legit.”
  12. They appear naive: Narcissists make you feel confortably safe. They want you, all of you forever and falling for them is the safest thing in the world.
  13. They emphasize the future very early: They put emphasis on your communal plans for the future without really asking you about it. They simply assume you’re going to be down and chances are you will be. They also use words that join the two of you, merging your separate identities. For example, they say “will we be taking the car or the truck” rather than, “will we take my car or your truck.”
  14. They are very quick to fall for you: They will tell you very early on that they love you, that you’re unlike anybody you have every known, and that you are a beautiful snowflake of individuality that makes them feel whole. RUN DON’T WALK!
  15. When they’re done, they’re gone: When you fail to conform to a narcissist’s idea of what they want you to be (which you always will), they purposely hold you at a distance. They cut you off, sever communication, and “punish” you. When they do come around again (and trust me they will), they bring flowers and make you feel those intense butterflies all over again. They do this so that you will not confront them again and because they want to keep you in line with the idea of their ideal partner.

Narcissists are exciting and they’ll sweep you off your feet before you even notice they brought a broom. If you happen to fall for a narcissist, I wish you luck. By the time you realize they’re a narcissist, it’s already too late.

A woman’s wedding day is the most important day in her life.

It’s important for you too, gentlemen, but there are few moments in life more important for ladies than the day she gets to live out her fairy princess dreams. For some ladies, the wedding day is a symbol of love for their partner, and for others, it’s all about the dress.

10 Reasons To Write A Bucket List

$

You’re going to want to add “create a bucket list” to your mental bucket list after you read this bucket list list (please–I insist).

I’ve noticed most people my age have a mental bucket list. For context, I’m twenty-two years old and, like my fellow Millennials, I’m not about to settle for subpar. The Millennial generation has extended the phase of emerging adulthood, pushed norms, and are currently changing the way we live our lives more than any generation before us. (I can personally attest to this. Currently, I’m writing to you from a Chipotle in central Florida because getting an office job in New York was too mainstream for this Millennial Hipster.)

We don’t like to live our lives according to the dictations of society.

We set our own pace and live the way we want. We do this because we seek greater fulfillment from an existence that stands beyond the border of the cubicle.

But living outside the norm is as challenging as it is rewarding. So many of us find ourselves creating personal bucket lists for each stage of life. For example, by the time I’m 25, I’d like to have lived in each corner of the United States. We also find ourselves creating smaller markers. For example, before the end of next summer, I need to try skydiving once.

We create small bucket lists in our heads that need to be completed before we kick the bucket of emerging adulthood and move onto the next stage of mature relationships and mortgages.

No matter the stage of life you’re currently at, I strongly encourage you to make a bucket list of things you’d like to do in the next five years. It can be a small thing, like getting in the habit of taking a walk every night before bed. Or it can be a grand pursuit, like moving to Kansas because you want to know if it’s everything Dorothy cracked it up to be. Regardless of the subject matter, I highly encourage you to make a list of things you’d like to accomplish before you kick the metaphorical bucket of this phase of your existence.

  1. It will give you a goal to strive for outside of work: We need personal interests and hobbies and therefore we need to set goals to keep us on track with those hobbies.
  2. It will increase your sense of identity: Few things define us quite like meeting our goals defines us.  
  3. It will keep you thinking about your life on broad terms: It’s easy to get caught up in the intricacies of that spreadsheet on your desk, but what about that goal to travel to Spain for Christmas?
  4. It will give you something to do on the weekends besides brunch: you always told yourself you wanted to take a painting class. Now you have to.
  5. It allows you to bond with people: Tell a friend you’re signing up for a painting class and ask if they want to take it with you. Now you’re bonding WHILE you achieve those goals.
Image Credit: Giphy
Image Credit: Giphy
  1. It will cause you to think outside the box: What do you want to be defined by with this stage of life? Probably not spreadsheets…
  2. It will distract you from the mundane: Unfortunately, life is often very tedious. We fall into routine and every now and then we need something to pull us out of that monotony. Let your bucket list be the line that pulls you away…from those spreadsheets (I’m beginning to notice a trend with spreadsheets).
  3. It gives you an excuse to step outside your comfort zone: Sometimes it’s hard to show up to a cooking class because it’s an uncomfortable step away from the norm. Giving yourself a deadline puts the pressure on you from you.
  4. It allows you to set minor goals for yourself: If you do heed my wisdom, make sure you have short term goals on your list (to be achieved in the next few weeks), medium goals (to be achieved in a year), and long term goals (like your goal to burn every spreadsheet in the office and move to Spain).
  5. It will make you feel like a badass: I dare you to jump out of a plane and not feel like a badass. Do it–you won’t.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson from the Brooklyn Nets gave his mom the surprise of a lifetime for her birthday.

Rondae and his brother, NBA D-Leaguer Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson dreamed of giving their mother and grandmother a comfortable home they can live in.

Their mother, Rylanda Hollis’s birthday was the perfect opportunity to surprise her and to give her the home she so deserved.

It was a moment to be remembered for the two brothers, and they had a videographer accompany them to film the entire thing.

Rondae had a realtor open the door when his mother arrived, and ask her, “Oh, who are you looking for?” And when his mom said the name, the realtor said, “Oh, OK, come in.” Then everyone popped out and said, “Surprise!” and Rylanda started crying.

She said it was her best birthday ever, and Rondae describes:

“That’s big in our eyes, to be able to do that. Being able to change your mom’s life, to be able to put her in a comfortable situation. … It makes that feeling in your heart go to ease.

For Hollis-Jefferson, this memory was worth putting himself in a less-than-glamorous living situation. Armed with a new multi-million dollar contract, Rondae is equipped to experience the high-rolling NBA lifestyle, but instead, he seems to be stayed as grounded as possible.

His sensible rental in New Jersey and a real home for the mother who gave him everything will do for now.

The Japanese countryside is known for being tranquil, peaceful and beautiful. 

Exciting, however, is not what you’d call this farmland, where life pretty much consists of field work during the day and sleep after the sun goes down. 

But, that’s going by human standards. 

If you’re a dog, rural Japan can be filled with thrills. 

These three Shiba puppies have dashed into the farm field and spotted a leafy green target. They have set their sights on a cabbage, and their primal hunting instincts have kicked in.

3 Reasons Why the Next Book You Buy Should Be a Coloring Book

$

Photo by www.techinsider.io

Coloring is a hobby we normally associate with children, but why should kids get all the fun? Aside from just being a fun activity, coloring has been proven to improve creativity, improve the way we deal with emotions, and improves focus.

While most of us haven’t picked up a colored pencil or crayon since they disappeared from school supply lists, publishers all over the world have been producing adult coloring books as people started to recognize their ability to relieve stress.

Take a look at the top 3 reasons you should pick up an adult coloring book, and revisit your old childhood pastime.

3. Coloring is therapeutic.

Coloring won’t cure a disease, but the activity has long been used to help people cope with conditions like PTSD, Cancer, and depression. One study found that art therapy significantly reduced symptoms of emotional and physical distress of cancer patients while in treatment.

Using art as therapy is so effective because it provides a way for people to express themselves when it’s difficult to put emotions into words. And you don’t have to be sick to reap the rewards, anyone can use coloring as an outlet to express emotions that they normally aren’t able to.

2. Coloring relieves stress and anxiety.

By allowing yourself to focus on colors and design, instead of your constant worries, you’re giving your brain a chance to unwind and organize itself. Coloring gives the fear center of your brain a chance to take a rest, which reduces your overall stress levels overtime. Like meditation, coloring trains the brain to respond less dramatically to stress.

1. Coloring trains your brain to focus.

Coloring requires concentration and focus to stay inside the lines, and to pick colors according to how they interact in the picture, which forces you to stay in the moment instead of letting your mind wander off. One clinical counselor, Leslie Marshall, explains that coloring “opens up the frontal lobe of the brain — the home of organizing and problem solving — and focuses the mind.”

Simply put, coloring allows you to forget about your worries and to-do lists, and focus on what’s right in front of you. Over time, this carries over into other areas of your life, and allows you to focus on one issue at a time.

Turns out Samantha had it right all along.

60-Year-Old Man With 1/3 of a Heart Attempts The Cinnamon Challenge

porky parry

Mike “Porky” Parry, one of Britain’s legendary and eccentric journalist’s decided to do the Cinnamon Challenge and we couldn’t believe it.

Many probably remember the cinnamon challenge from a few years ago where bloggers and anyone who wanted to injure themselves would swallow a spoonful of ground cinnamon and then not drink any water for 60 seconds.

At that point, they realized how much pain they were in and basically started spitting up the cinnamon, pounding water, and many felt like they couldn’t breathe.

Well apparently, Mike Parry felt this was the perfect challenge for him, even though he’s 60-years-old, with only one third of a working heart!

In 2004, Parry suffered heart failure and was diagnosed with advance dilated cardiomyopathy. He often reminds the millions of listeners to his radio show, Two Mikes TV that only one third of his heart works.

While he was no where near a good candidate for this challenge, Mike says this in his YouTube video:

“I’ve seen all these younger people than me who shoving this stuff in their mouth and then they’re all over the place because they can’t take it. Well, believe me, I’ve faced worse than tablespoons of cinnamon during my life.”

In his words exactly: “I bet you I won’t even balk because I’ve been trained to take pain. I’m told there will be an explosive reaction, there won’t be from me.”

“I can’t breathe,” Mike says.

“It’s like drinking cement, which then mixes with the saliva in your mouth, it hardens up, and forms a barrier.”

“Perhaps it wasn’t such a good idea to do this…I’ve got acute heart failure.”

Andy’s room in Toy Story was the room we all grew up dreaming to play in, and thanks to a group of die-hard fans, the legendary room has been brought to life.

Disney Pixar enthusiasts, Mason McGrew, Morgan McGrew, and friends, spent two years making a full scale version of Andy’s room. The two have recreated many scenes from the Toy Story 3, but knew that their work wouldn’t be complete until they finished Andy’s room.

“It’s the room that most of us grew up wishing we had. From the hardwood floor to the bright white woodwork, it’s all there.”

“A lot of time was spent on Andy’s desk. Before we renovated it, it was an old, broken brown desk. It was really awesome fixing it up for our remake though because it used to belong to my grandmother.”

“His posters were almost perfectly recreated for our room as well. I’ve got to thank my brother for those. The amount of detail he put into those things amazes me.”

“It may sound a bit obsessive, but we tried incredibly hard to make sure that every little detail was captured. For example, there is a white board next to Andy’s desk that we, for the most part, replicated perfectly.”

“One of my favorite aspects of Andy’s room in Toy Story 3 is his door. I just love the dart board, scattered stickers and posters on it. It really gives off the teenager-vibe.”

“With that said, I absolutely loved recreating it for our room. I still can’t believe we managed to find that dart board…and for only $5 at a thrift shop. Score!”

In the two years it took to complete the room, Mason and Morgan made sure to include every little detail.
