Flashback Friday: On the hunt for Easter Eggs
A crisp sunny morning brought out more people to Sherman Park than anyone expected.5,000 people meant a lot of competition for some 15,000 chocolate easter eggs so many mapped out their strategy beforehand and set their goals.
'One. One? That's all you want? Yeah.''Six. Six. Why six? I don't know. Maybe one for now and five for later?''A hundred. A hundred? What are you going to do with a hundred eggs? Eat them all.'With speed and accuracy kids and parents picked, poked, and prodded at every nook and cranny.
The process was sometimes tiring but often successful. And when it seemed that some got more than their share, there was a spirit of giving. Before long the pressure was off and the kids hopped to some well deserved refreshments, a few egg holders with lucky numbers received some extra prizes, but for most a few muddy eggs and the thrill of the hunt were enough to satisfy.

You've Got ‘The Ick.' Is Your Relationship Doomed?
He was charming. He spoke several languages. Things were going well until Ann Parker, a retired public relations consultant, noticed something strange about her date's driving style. 'Every now and then, he'd release the steering wheel and quickly lick his hands,' she said. The relationship did not last much longer. Ms. Parker was experiencing the immediate turnoff known to daters as 'the ick,' a sudden pang of aversion, usually prompted by someone's behavior, appearance or personality trait. Although the term isn't new — by some estimates, it was first used in the 1990s on the series 'Ally McBeal' — 'the ick' often crops up in popular culture and gets frequent mention online. #Theick racked up nearly 225,000 TikTok posts in the past year, according to a representative for the company. The term even prompted psychology researchers from Azusa Pacific University to do a study, published in May, which found that over a quarter of surveyed singles who had experienced 'the ick' found it worrisome enough that they reported ending the relationship immediately. 'The Ick' may have a catchy name, but it captures something significant about the uncertainty of dating: the sneaking realization that a person might not be right for you. Want all of The Times?
