Get your Dramamine; you’re going to need it. You have undoubtedly heard the term “sea legs.” Merriam-Webster defines the term as “bodily adjustment to the motion of a ship indicated especially by ability to walk steadily and by freedom from seasickness.” For those who spend their life at sea‚ gaining sea legs is necessary just to brush your teeth. The video below gives you a good idea of why you needed the Dramamine. Life on a Boat in the North Sea – you need grippy shoes‚ and damn good balance!pic.twitter.com/WKT4jpbWFd— Epoch Inspired (@EpochInspired) February 26‚ 2024 It does get easier for people who spend a lot of their life at sea. The size of the ship you are on also makes a difference. The smaller the vessel‚ the more impact the waves have. This is why people on large cruise ships don’t notice the waves as much. Once you get your sea legs‚ life at sea becomes “just another day.” If you have a playful spirit and time the cresting of the waves just right‚ you can channel your inner Harry Potter. Image from X (Twitter). If you are on the bridge steering the ship‚ you could have trouble holding onto the ship’s wheel when floating sideways. At that point‚ any anchor is a good anchor. Image from X (Twitter). Life At Sea Brought Us A Favorite Menu Word A common phrase many of us use every day is “slider.” We understand the term means a hamburger‚ but did you know the use began at sea? When Navy cooks would make hamburgers for the crew‚ the patties would slide across the griddle during rough seas. Cooks began calling them sliders‚ and it stuck. Even people who wouldn’t think about life at sea know the term. Image from X (Twitter). If you are going on a cruise‚ please don’t let this deter you. As mentioned earlier‚ a cruise ship is very steady unless it hits a big storm. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

It’s tough to be so far away from the ones you love. Julia Long and her son‚ Denver‚ understand this well. While they live in Texas‚ Julia’s mom resides all the way in California. Needless to say‚ in-person visits don’t get to happen as often as they’d like. Still‚ when Denver turned 4 years old‚ Grandma found a way to use balloons as part of a clever birthday surprise. It starts with a call between Grandma and Denver. During it‚ everyone sings “happy birthday‚” all while the little boy smiles. But Grandma also takes this time to reveal that she has lots of birthday balloons to give him — and the thousand-plus miles between them can’t get in her way! Birthday Balloons From Grandma Surprise This Adorable 4-Year-Old “I’m gonna send balloons up in the air‚ and they gonna reach you all the way in Texas‚” Grandma explains to Denver. “And they gonna come to Texas‚ and you gonna have them‚ okay?” By the time the birthday song ends‚ it’s time for Denver and Julia to see if Grandma’s balloons have arrived. You might think it would take a while for balloons to travel well over a thousand miles‚ but with the power of Grandma’s love (and Julia’s help)‚ anything is possible! Facebook Much to the delight of little Denver‚ all of the balloons that he saw on the video call are now outside his home‚ attached to one of his parents’ vehicles. The look of pure joy on Denver’s face when he sees that his Grandma’s balloons actually made it to him is absolutely priceless! This is a magical birthday he’s sure to never forget.

League of Legends now has a ridiculous 167 champions available to play on Summoner's Rift. And‚ only naturally‚ some of those champions don't receive the same love and attention as some of the more popular money-printing champions do (I'm looking at you‚ Ezreal‚ Leona‚ and Lux). Rek'Sai is certainly in the camp of ignored champions; however‚ LoL developers Riot saw to it that Reksai received a minor rework to her abilities to bring her up to date in patch 14.4. When her win rate and play rate barely moved‚ the devs decided it was time for some major buffs.
