When it comes to things that stress you out, there are some obvious ones like money, kids, work, and health. But there are plenty of LITTLE things that stress you out too. Here are four you might not have thought of . . .

#1.) YOUR DOG. An untrained animal can cause a lot of stress. If your dog destroys the house while you’re at work, or barks all night long, it raises your general level of stress and screws with
your sleep patterns.
–But don’t get rid of him. Think about hiring a trainer. Statistically, people with well-behaved pets generally live longer and have less stress.

#2.) YOUR ALARM CLOCK. Some research shows that alarm clocks with blue numbers can interfere with your internal clock, and basically make you feel like you’re jet lagged.
–You’re also more likely to have a heart attack in the morning than any other time of the day. So loud alarm clocks that jolt you awake aren’t a good idea. Look for one that starts out quiet and
slowly gets louder.

#3.) FACEBOOK. Constantly hearing how great your friends are doing is fine, unless YOU’RE not doing great. If your friends are all getting married and having kids, and you’re still single, it can take a toll on your self-esteem.

#4.) THE LIGHT IN YOUR BATHROOM. Fluorescent lights make every wrinkle look ten times worse. And research has even shown they increase A.D.D. symptoms in kids.
–If the light bothers you, replace the bulb with an old-fashioned incandescent one. It’s a cheap and easy way to improve your self-esteem.

(Woman’s Day)

He works at the Thundercloud Subs in Westlake. Who is he?

• It was almost named Pequods: Yes, that’s “an extremely vague literary reference” to Captain Ahab’s boat in Moby-Dick. The founders ended up naming it after his first mate instead—Starbuck.
• The logo explanation: The confusing image of a woman (what does it mean?) started out as another nautical reference—a picture of a siren—but was too risqué. After much editing, we got the green image you know and love.
• The kidney transplant: One barista at a Washington Starbucks donated her kidney to a regular customer in 2007.
• How many are there?: 16,700 locations in 50 countries—and in Manhattan, more than half of the stores are located within two blocks of another store.
• Going stealth: Starbucks has started disguising certain stores—one in Seattle is named 15th Avenue Coffee and Tea—in the hopes of attracting more customers, particularly “brand-adverse hipsters.”
• The Peet’s connection: “If you’re one of those people who hates Starbucks and loves Peet’s Coffee & Tea or one of those people who hates Peet’s and loves the bux,” prepare yourself: One of the Starbucks founders bought Peet’s and was chairman until 2001.
