11+ hour, 20+ min ago (498+ words) If you grew up far from your extended family as I did, then you know the ache of distance all too well. Before FaceTime, group chats, and "just checking in" voice memos, staying connected wasn't easy. You'd see family a few times a year at best, and every unexpected phone call felt like Christmas morning. Those rare moments of hearing a familiar voice could light up your whole day. So when I stumbled upon a TikTok of a tiny Chihuahua having the most wholesome phone call with his grandpa, it hit me right in the nostalgia and then melted me into a puddle of emotions. This video feels like every long-distance family moment rolled into one, but made even sweeter because the family member on the other end is five pounds, round-eyed, and absolutely committed to the conversation. In the…...

12+ hour, 15+ min ago (313+ words) Rescue dogs sometimes literally do not know how to be pets. That's something you have to teach them. They'll look to you for every little thing, and it's so important that you teach them everything you possibly can. Things are going to seem like common sense, and they are common sense, but they don't know that. Take this sweet dog, for example, who has no idea how to interact with a living room. He loves and hates coffee tables at the same time, and he definitely doesn't understand that stepping on them is kind of forbidden. How was he supposed to know?! Rue the City Pittie is doing her best to try to teach her brother, Axel, some manners, but this was literally his first day home, OK? Cut the poor boy some slack! As his mama says, they don't…...

12+ hour, 20+ min ago (387+ words) Growing up, my folks were strict about bedtime. When 9:30 p.m. hit, everything shut down with the force of a government mandate. The lights out, TV off, Nintendo put away, prayers said, and eyes glued shut, whether sleep was coming or not. As a lifelong night owl, it felt like torture lying there in the dark, tossing around like a rotisserie chicken, hoping sleep would magically happen. Now, as a chronically exhausted adult who wishes I'd developed even one healthy sleep habit, I cannot help but laugh and relate when I see someone who takes bedtime more seriously than I ever did. And by someone, I mean a golden retriever. As he marches up to the lingering guests, the audio choice is comedic perfection: the iconic scene from The Office where Dwight sings, "Learn your rules, you better learn your rules, if you…...

Organizers and local business owners held one of the most heartwarming events on a chilly Thursday, handing out free Thanksgiving dinners on Wilkes-Barre's Public Square. But there was more: free hot chocolate, free scarves and socks, and even free toys and decorations. "Everyone can't believe they're for free," Local crafter Bob Elick said of the gifts he made and donated. Josh Slusser and his family came from Nanticoke to volunteer at the event. "We just figured, what better way to spend Thanksgiving than to show our thanks."
