Gas Prices Are Going To Continue To Rise: GasBuddy says gas prices are going to continue to rise. Company representative Patrick DeHann tells WXIA, "The Russian invasion of Ukraine has driven up oil. That doesn't seem to be going anywhere. And so from that, I do expect oil prices to remain high this summer. There's less ability to produce gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel that the market needs. That's also not a short-term fix. You can't build a refinery overnight, and with this administration, it would be next to impossible to build one."

Optimism Adds Years To Your Life
A new study by Harvard reveals that being optimistic can add years to your life. Researchers studied 159,255 women over the course of 26 years. They looked at many factors of happiness including marital status, income, education and other things.
Researcher Hayami Koga says, Our findings suggest that there’s value to focusing on positive psychological factors, like optimism, as possible new ways of promoting longevity and healthy aging across diverse groups. Higher optimism was associated with longer lifespan and a greater likelihood of achieving exceptional longevity overall and across racial and ethnic groups. The contribution of lifestyle to these associations was modest. Optimism may promote health and longevity in diverse racial and ethnic groups. Future research should investigate these associations in less long-lived populations.”

Dear Fonseca
I recently got divorced and joined a dating site. I have a master's degree and am incredibly successful at my job. My friends say I need to dumb down my profile because it will intimidate men. They say if I do that then I will get more emails and have a better selection of men to choose from. I don't think I should have to dumb down my profile just to accommodate men, who are intimidated by me. I don't think I want those men anyways. Are my friends right?
