#ReadThisFIRST: Good Morning. You look as good as this Starbucks tastes!

Hey!

So welcome to the new day... I'm still dealing with this allergy BS when it comes to my voice, but, thanks to a few of your suggestions - including one about local honey - I think things are getting better. I think. Now, I've probably jinxed myself but you'll have these things!

You good? Anything you need from me to make life better? I got my hands on some of these Marvin Gaye stamps from the United States Postal Service yesterday and, I have to tell you, a simple thing for me that makes life better... is sending some unexpected SNAIL MAIL to people I know. Now, thanks to MARVIN, the envelopes have an extra dose of SEXY going on!

Wait, is SEXY a word that doesn't meet brand expectations? Should I have SENSUAL? Did MARVIN NOT CALL HIS SONG SEXUAL HEALING?

Well?

Holla' back! And if you want a handwritten act of random, you know what you have to do... especially if you've been following the STORY!

:-)

Now, let's get to work... Chris Cuomo style...

Today is NAME YOURSELF DAY: The day to pick a different name to use if you don't like the name you were given by those who named you. I've always been Toby. I say it's short for TOBIAS so I sound like an SMU trust fund type person, but it's really not that savvy. It's just Toby. You know, like the dog. The cat. A donkey on Meme's farm. The dude from the West Wing. The dude from This Is Us. It's a gender-neutral name so it works for guys and girls, I guess. Does that make it non-binary?

TODAY’S TOPICS:

MARCH MADNESS IS OVER. HOW DID THAT VASECTOMY GO?

March Madness is now over as last night was the NCAA Tournament Championship Game. We’ll have to wait 11 months for next year’s March Madness to start up so we can do this all again.

Did you make the most of it? Did you watch as much basketball as you hoped to? Did you watch an unhealthy number of games?

Speaking of health…

Did you take advantage of the tournament to get a vasectomy? How did that go? It takes longer to recover than you thought, doesn’t it?

Are you back to full strength?

Did someone give you a vasectomy cake to celebrate the big move?

Did you get any other gifts for going under the knife?

How Long Do You Really Want to Live?

According to a new study, guys are more likely than women to want to live past their average expected life span, which is 81 for women and 77 for men

How about you? How long do you really want to live?

The researchers found that the older you get, the more likely you are to want to live longer. Does that sound right? Could you see yourself worrying about it more as the clock ticks down?

Any interest in living past 100 years old?

If so, how much past 100 are you thinking? If not, what’s your number -- and what scares you about hitting 100?

Health is a big deal, of course. You don’t want to be old and unhealthy.

But … How interested in living a healthy lifestyle are you? There’s got to be a balance of health and fun, doesn’t there? Even if it means you’re going to conk out earlier than you had to?

YOU MIGHT BE GETTING RIPPED OFF BY MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTIONS

Financial advisors are suggesting that people take a few minutes to look at your debit and credit card statements -- and really see what’s going on.

There’s a good chance you’re suffering from “subscription creep,” which means you’ve been subscribing to services that you might not actually be using

There’s Netflix and Amazon Prime. And then, there’s food services and gaming services. And, music services. And, sports services.

Do the math and figure out the yearly cost of your subscriptions by multiplying the monthly charge by 12.

It could be costing you big bucks. (MarketWatch)

LIST: THE BEST AND WORST AIRLINES... ANOTHER LIST...

If you’re getting ready to travel on an airplane in the coming weeks, you may want to listen up. Yet another report is out revealing the best airlines out there and you may not be happy if yours isn’t high on the list.

As we previously told you, The Points Guy website recently named Delta Airlines as the best airline out there, and now the airline has received yet another accolade. The 29th annual Airline Quality Rating, was just released, with Delta once again coming out on top.

This list is determined by judging the nation’s largest nine airlines on 2018 data regarding mishandled baggage, consumer complaints, on-time performance and involuntary denied boardings. The AQR found that on the whole the airline industry improved in areas like involuntary denied boardings, mishandled bags and customer complaints, although on-time performance, which is actually the one factor weighed most heavily in the results, declined. 

As for the worst airline, well, just like The Points Guy, the AQR gave that title to Frontier Airlines.

Major Airlines Ranked From Best To Worst

  1. Delta Airlines
  2. Jetblue
  3. Southwest Airlines
  4. Alaska Airlines
  5. Hawaiian Airlines
  6. United Airlines
  7. Spirit Airlines
  8. American Airlines
  9. Frontier Airlines
