I never thought dying of a broken heart was bs but my grandfather literally died a month after my grandmother passed away!!!! He legit gave up, he stopped eating, stopped caring for himself, stopped talking, and he just lost it and one day we were trying to clean him up and he just laid down and never got back up....he forgot who we all were and hospice ended up coming in and doping him up until he took his last pawpaw was the kind of man that could cut a limb off and duct tape it back on and refuse to go to the dr or er...him and my mawmaw were the cutest couple and they practically raised us and they were so good to us and he loved my mawmaw sooo much....he would pull a pic out of his wallet that was of her when she was around 19 and he would say "look how beautiful my baby is" i miss them so

How refreshing to have a real live narrator . . . Rather than AI!

My grandfather died from a broken heart. My grandmother died first and he followed her 3 weeks later. They were married 65 years and never argued. He loved her so much he couldn’t live without her. 💜

My dad was a physician…an oncologist. He never told his patients how much time they had left because he had seen so many die to the day their doctors told them.

My grandparents were married for like 60 years.

After my grandma died, my grandpa spent the next 6 months making sure when he was gone, we would be taken as good as care of as he could manage.

Immediately after signing the final document, he was rushed to a hospital. There he hung on to life until everyone who was gonna show up and say goodbye said what they needed to, then died.

He died of a broken heart. He was too stubborn to go before he did his best for us, but in truth he died the minute he found my grandma dead. He just didn't let it take him until after he took care of business.

Toilet seats. The only time they're disgusting is when someone hovered over the seat, peed (or worse ) all over it and didn't even bother to clean up after 🤮

The "Starve a Fever, feed a Cold" isn't about food, it's about temperature. Starve a fever (take away heat). Feed a Cold (add heat). So if you have a cold, you need blankets, for a fever something to help cool you off.

The thing you stand behind is not a podium
That's the thing you stand on that's the podium
The thing you stand behind to give a lecture
Is oh my God a lectern

Never in 44 years have I heard ants can lift 5000 times their weight. Only ever heard 50.

Starve a fever, feed a cold - I grew up thinking that meant when you were overheating you “starve “ the fever with a cool cloth and when you have a cold, you bundle up. The extra heat (feeding) cooked the virus. I never thought it had anything to do with food

Classic case of "Broken Heart Syndrome": Debbie Reynolds died the day after her daughter Carrie Fisher died.

Detoxing is just a polite way of saying “ shitting your brains out “ lol

Never heard that tomatoes cause cancer

Call me a purist! "Irregardless" drives me NUTS! UGH! Can't stand it!
It's utterly redundant and just sounds sloppy when spoken.

When I was born in 1969, my Dad worked for Dr. Pepper. He was in delivery. I have pictures of him, my Mom and my two older brothers in front of the truck.

I was always taught to do warmups before the stretching. You can pull cold muscles and that hurts.
