Unless you have a plan to quit, you’ll be better served by a plan to cope. First things first: You’ll need to understand if your supervisor’s behavior is so bad that it is actually illegal....

There is no shortage of ways for how to cook brats, but grilling them ensures charred bits that add complexity and offer that char-grilled flavor we love about a good (and simple) cookout. Brats are convenient and require next-to-no prep, and are guaranteed to be seasoned perfectly throughout without having to fuss with a marinade like in other common grilling options. Plus, fresh brats, like other sausages, come off the grill juicy and tender and are basically impossible to mess up as long as you cook them over moderate heat....

Stores Sell Expired Sunscreen You need to check your sunscreen for an expiration date in the store just like you’d check a gallon of milk. Unfortunately, an investigation by Good Morning America found that some popular stores–including Target, Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens locations in Chicago, DC, LA, and New Jersey–were still selling sunscreens past their expiration dates, unbeknownst to sun-fearing customers. After visiting a total of 17 stores, the GMA team discovered 68 expired bottles still on the stores’ shelves despite policies to make sure expired products don’t remain out for sale....

It appears the treat was a campfire staple long before the dictionary officially recognized it: The first known s’mores recipe was published in the Girl Scouts handbook Tramping and Trailing With the Girl Scouts in 1927....
