Only about 40 percent of doctors tell their obese patients to lose weight. [Mine didn’t tell me to lose weight, but I did notice a line on my most recent bill that read “Replacement of waiting room chair cushion.”]
The average pet owner spends over $4,500 on their pet’s basic needs every year. [And by “basic needs” does that include my cable TV subscription so my dog can watch Animal Planet?]

1045a- HOW TO HUG AND WHY
Want to give your child or spouse a boost today? How a good, long hug? Research shows that if we hold a hug for at least six seconds, we optimize the flow of mood-boosting chemicals. According to studies, a family member is 47 percent more likely to feel close to a family member who often expresses affection than to one who rarely does. Also, frequent huggers have lower blood pressure and higher levels of oxytocin (a chemical that promotes bonding).
1115a-MOST PHOTOS TAKEN ON PHONES ARE NEVER LOOKED AT AGAIN
A survey finds three-quarters of photos taken with smartphones are never looked at again. And the number of unviewed is even higher for selfies: 87 percent of selfies taken are never looked at again. Probably because we take six of the same selfie and use the last one. The survey found the average person does a digital declutter about once every six months. However, 20 percent of you never dump old photos.

145p-BULLIED LIFE
Being bullied sticks with you for a long time after you’re out of school. A long-term study of the mental scars that bullying leaves finds its effects are still detectable 40 years later. People who were bullied as kids have a higher risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts once they grow up. They also have a lower quality of life. Lower life satisfaction. And are less likely to be in a relationship.

215p-VOICE FRAUD
The days of phone conversations with anyone other than family or friends are coming to an end because of voiceprinting. Through technological advances, thieves can capture a recording of your voice and then use a software program to generate an imitation “deepfake” version that lets them impersonate you. That voiceprint can then be used to call your bank and have funds transferred out of your accounts.
