However, some people don't know much about their middle names. This is the perfect day to ask our parents about them. Middle names first appeared in English-speaking countries, but records indicate that the practice may have been used in higher class, wealthy families first. In fact, at the time, it was common for those of high birth status to have many names–sometimes several middle names. This is still the practice in modern royal families. Some beloved cartoon characters even have middle names: Donald Duck's middle name is Fauntleroy.

    You Might Also Like: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

    Introducing BENNY BLANCO, DAVE BURD & KRISTIN BATALUCCO: Friends Keep Secrets… Or Do They? (Friendship, Weddings, Love) from On Purpose with Jay Shetty. Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty Today, Jay sits down with Benny Blanco, Dave Burd, and Kristin Batalucco for a first-of-its-kind conversation - three best friends building something together in real time. They talk about what that really looks like: how friendship changes when work gets involved, how marriage fits into ambition, where insecurity still shows up, and how messy it can be to create with people you genuinely love. Dave and Kristin tell the story of meeting at a bowling alley and how they almost got in their own way at the beginning. Benny opens up about what it was like to chase success for years and what shifted when he realized it wasn’t giving him what he thought it would. It’s funny, and honest, and gives you a real sense of who they are with each other, not just as collaborators, but as friends figuring life out together. With Jay's guidance they open up about commitment anxiety, the courage it takes to be emotionally direct, and the power of choosing your partner not playing games, not waiting to be chosen, but stepping forward with clarity. Kristen shares what it means to battle self-doubt while stepping into the public eye. Dave opens up about perfectionism and the tension between ambition and contentment. Benny reflects on how success once held him in a chokehold and how love reshaped his priorities. Together, they reveal that the healthiest relationships aren’t built on avoiding conflict, but on being able to argue passionately and return to love just as quickly. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Be Honest About What You Want in Love How to Stop Playing Dating Games How to Turn Conflict Into Deeper Connection How to Support Your Partner’s Ambition Without Competing How to Work With Friends Without Ruining the Friendship How to Fall in Love With New Versions of Your Partner The strongest connections aren’t built by people who never argue, they’re built by people who know how to come back to each other after they do. Keep choosing openness. Keep choosing courage. Keep choosing each other.  With Love and Gratitude, Jay Shetty JAY’S DAILY WISDOM DELIVERED STRAIGHT TO YOUR INBOX Join 900,000+ readers discovering how small daily shifts create big life change with my free newsletter.

During World War II, branches of the U.S. military began putting external name tags on uniforms so that aircrew and soldiers could be quickly identified, and by the Korean War cloth name tapes with surnames had become a standard feature of many combat uniforms. In the mid‑20th century, department stores, hotels, and restaurants began standardizing employee name badges as part of a professional uniform...and in 1959 the popular "Hello, My Name Is…" name tags are introduced by C-Line Products---just don't forget to take it off before you wash your clothes!

Nowadays baking soda or baking powder is incorporated to induce leavening during baking to make a less dense pound cake and vanilla, almond, orange, or lemon extracts can be added to change the flavor profile a bit too. Of course you can buy it premade...Sara Lee held the gold standard for decades but culinary experts rate the Costco/Kirkland version as the closest to homemade.

Being a caregiver is often physically taxing but also emotionally taxing...so if you know a caregiver--let them know how much they are appreciated...you could get them something to pamper themselves (a massage, pedicure, etc) or a gift card to their favorite restaurant, a day off, helping them with some of the chores, or making a donation in their name to a charity they love.

It has been discovered that during this period, ancient Egyptians made a version of pies called 'galettes,' which were rustic free-form pies, made from oats, wheat, rye, and barley. The crust was filled with honey and the galettes were then baked over hot coals. In the 1700s, American women cemented the tradition of serving pies with every meal and as more settlers moved to other parts of the continent, various kinds of regional pies were created. In the 1950s, banana cream pies became the favorite dessert of many American soldiers. The British version of this is the Banoffee pie, which is made using bananas and toffee. Whether enjoyed at a family gathering, at a local bakery, or made from scratch at home, today reminds us to appreciate the simple joys in life.

News; game: classic rock songs on the banjo; did you see that sinkhole in Omaha?;  goodbye/fun facts....Strawberries have grown in the wild for thousands of years, and it was the French who first brought this delicious red berry into their gardens for cultivation in the 14th century. Not long afterward, English Archbishop Thomas Wolsey created the winning combination of strawberries and cream for Henry VIII's court that so many people still enjoy today. However, the early species of strawberries were very different from those we feast on now. It wasn't until 1712 that a French excursion to Chile resulted in the mixing of different types of strawberry plants, and the garden strawberry we know today was born. If fresh strawberries aren't at their best in your grocery store, don't forget the many accessible forms you can always get your hands on. Frozen and dried strawberries can help in a pinch too.

Some historians have said that the famous hanging gardens of Babylon probably contained pistachio plants. In fact, pistachios are only one of two nuts that are actually mentioned in the Old Testament. By the 1st century AD that pistachios made their way to Europe as they traveled there with the Romans then eventually to the U.S. in the 1800's. For several decades, the producers and importers used red dye to hide flaws and try to make them more appealing to american consumers. By the1980s the dye went by the wayside and now they are sold in their natural color. The largest producer of pistachio nuts today is Iran but they are also grown in other warmer areas of the world, including California and Mediterranean Europe.
