I Ve Eaten Chick Fil A For 135 Days Straight

We had a couple of vacations cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic and there were no concerts or sporting events to go to. Then, one day in July I looked down and realized I’d been to Chick-fil-A for 12 days in a row. I remember thinking that there had to be a record. I looked it up online and the unofficial record was by a guy in California who had been to Chick-fil-A for 114 days consecutively not including Sundays when they are closed....

I Was A Teacher I Abandoned Being Woke For My Students Sake

Far from the deadbeats I expected to encounter at the Washington Heights high school where I taught English, my colleagues were dedicated, passionate and hard-working. They were also unabashedly leftist. The teachers’ lounge was an echo chamber of adoration for Michael Moore documentaries, diatribes about America’s hunger for war—accompanied by the refrain “Bush lied, people died” repeated ad nauseum—and promises to move to Canada. I suspected that this ideology seeped into the classroom....

I Was Attacked By A Bear This Is How I Survived

In September 2020, I was returning from walking my usual route, when one of my two dogs sensed something ahead of us. I wasn’t far away, around one hundred feet. I knew something was wrong immediately, because she barked and jumped up. A large black bear emerged from the woods; and my only thought was: “I’m screwed.” I couldn’t run, because the animal would likely charge me down. If you are confronted by a bear, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources recommends creating lots of noise....

I Was Gutted That He Left Mason Mount Admits It Was Tough To Deal With Ex Teammate Leaving Chelsea

Mount, along with Reece James, is considered to be one of the best Cobham graduates since former Blues captain John Terry. But Rice, who joined the west London outfit’s youth setup in 2006, failed to impress in his early years, unlike his England team-mate. After being released from the Chelsea academy at the age of 14, Rice joined West Ham United. He made his senior team debut for the Hammers in 2017 and has established himself as one of the best holding midfielders in the world....

I Was Thinking The Same Thing About Him Last Year Coming Off Their Run Steph Curry Appreciates Giannis Antetokounmpo Labeling Him The Best Player In The World

When the Golden State Warriors point guard was made aware of Antetokounmpo praising him as the best player in the NBA, Curry responded with humility: Both players won the Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP Trophy for the first time in their respective careers after facing a ton of doubts. Giannis Antetokounmpo won the award despite not having the most aesthetically-pleasing game, an inconsistent jumper and erratic free-throw shooting. He silenced his doubters, though, by carving up the Phoenix Suns for 50 points in Game 6 to close out the series....

Accompanied by U.S. soldiers, we were part of a group of about 500 people who were trying to escape invaders from North Korea. Suddenly, several U.S. warplanes began firing at us, and dropping their bombs....

Since making his international debut in Nigeria’s 4-2 victory over Argentina in November 2017, the Deportivo La Coruna man has put Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Daniel Akpeyi in the shade to be Gernot Rohr’s most preferred choice in goal. His first real baptism came against Croatia where he conceded two goals. However, he is not weighed down despite the burden attached to his role in the Super Eagles. “I don’t let the history get to me, I try to overcome the pressure because I know Nigeria has produced goalkeepers,” he told media....
