Officers On A Welfare Check Relieved To Discover Elderly Woman Playing Video Game

We all have our vices, spending our free time totally engrossed in fun that we forget the world around us. Being elderly doesn’t make anyone immune to those activities, either.  Case in point, a 91-year-old Westlake, Ohio resident. When she didn’t answer any of her calls throughout the day, including her daily check-in, a welfare check was requested. It turns out, one of her newfound obsessions, a game on her phone, was distracting her.  Police were relieved when they caught the 91-year-old woman playing a video game on her phone. The concern began on April 9th, when the Westlake resident did not answer her daily check-in phone call, which was programmed through an automated system designed to send daily calls to vulnerable residents.  The system alerted a dispatcher, who also could not reach the woman.

However, the police found a similar result when knocking on her door: no answer.  SHVETS production | Pexels …

Feel relieved when plans get cancelled? Psychologist reveals your rare personality traits

We’ve all heard of FOMO, the fear of missing out, but what do you call it when a surge of relief floods your body the second you spot the “Hey, I can’t make it” text light up your phone screen?  JOMO, or joy of missing out, made quite the splash online last year as many people, including myself, admitted they occasionally preferred when plans were cancelled as opposed to dressing up and heading out to make the preordained reservation. However, if you are continuously expressing a large sigh of relief every time a plan is rearranged or scrapped rather than the occasional sense of disappointment, then it could be your psyche’s way of telling you something.  It turns out that a genuine preference for reclaimed time over engaging in a social obligation has specific psychological signature attributes attached to it.  From a high degree of “internal locus of control” to an uncommon comfort with solitude, we’re diving into the personality traits that turn a “no-show” into your best night of the week, with the help …
