Even if you did marry your Prince Charming, there are bound to be things you and him disagree about. Maybe its something more serious (like rules on disciplining your kiddos) or something less essential. These couples know exactly where you are coming from sharing the arguments theyve had with their spouse on online message boards here and here. Do any of these sound familiar?

1. Nest your cereal bowls please!

My wife and I have an ongoing passive-aggressive battle about how the dishwasher should be loaded. How hard is it to nest the cereal bowls on the top rack anyway?

2. Anyone for stir-fry?

The proper ratio of rice to water.

3. Not the flavors, just how many to buy

We don't really fight, but last night we had an mini argument about how many yogurts to buy.

4. We are all adults here

My husband and I argued over who would take one particular lunchbox to work with us the next day... We are both 31.

5. Dont bring out Monopoly

Over a game of Apples to Apples.

6. Tiptoe around that topic

My fiance and I got in an argument about what the top of your toe was (whether it was the part where your toenail is, or, you know, the part that touches the front of your shoes)."

7. Im with him on this

The first fight my wife and I had when we were dating was over tortilla chips. We were eating chips and bean dip and she kept taking the biggest chips and then breaking them in half to dip them. I got mad because I like the big chips so I can get a nice big scoop of dip, and there were already plenty of smaller chips in the bag. She argued that those smaller chips aren't quite the right size and that the only way she could get the perfect size was by breaking the big ones. We argued for like 20 minutes and then didn't talk to each other for the rest of the night."

In the end, we realized it was a ridiculous thing to fight about and agreed to disagree. Now we laugh about it whenever it comes up I still think I'm right, though.

8. But what if?!

My wife and I got into a shouting match as to whos friend's wedding we would attend IF they scheduled them for the same weekend. Neither was even engaged yet.

9. Breakfast battles

What Pop-Tart flavor was the best.

10. Yikes

My wife and I got into a screaming match because our broccoli wasn't growing as well as we thought it should, and clearly it was the other person's fault.

11. This means war

I ate the middle brownie. She was legitimately [upset] and didnt talk to me for the rest of the day. [The]worst part is I actually prefer the crusty ones on the edge; it was just easier to get the middle one out.
Its toxic: New study says blue light from tech devices can speed up blindness

It turns out checking Twitter or Facebook before bed is bad for your health.

A new study from the University of Toledo found that blue light from digital devices can transform molecules in your eyes retina into cell killers.

That process can lead to age-related macular degeneration, which is a leading cause of blindness in the United States, according to the researchs extract.

Blue light is a common issue for many modern Americans. Blue light is emitted from screens, most notably at night, causing sleep loss, eye strain and a number of other issues.

Dr. Ajith Karunarathne, assistant professor in the UT Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, said our constant exposure to blue light cant be blocked by the lens or cornea.

"It's no secret that blue light harms our vision by damaging the eye's retina. Our experiments explain how this happens, and we hope this leads to therapies that slow macular degeneration, such as a new kind of eye drop, he said.

Macular degeneration is an incurable eye disease that often affects those in their 50s or 60s. It occurs after the death of photoreceptor cells in the retina. Those cells need retinal to sense light and help signal the brain.

The research team found blue light exposure created poisonous chemical molecules that killed photoreceptor cells

"It's toxic. If you shine blue light on retinal, the retinal kills photoreceptor cells as the signaling molecule on the membrane dissolves," said Kasun Ratnayake, a Ph.D. student researcher working in Karunarathne's cellular photo chemistry group. "Photoreceptor cells do not regenerate in the eye. When they're dead, they're dead for good."

However, the researchers found a molecule called alpha-tocopherol, which comes from Vitamin E, can help prevent cell death, according to Futurism.

The researchers plan to review how light from TVs, cellphones and tablet screens affect the eyes as well.

"If you look at the amount of light coming out of your cellphone, it's not great but it seems tolerable," said Dr. John Payton, visiting assistant professor in the UT Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. "Some cellphone companies are adding blue-light filters to the screens, and I think that is a good idea."

Indeed, Apple released a Night Shift mode two years ago to help quell blue lights strain on the eyes, according to The Verge. The screen will dim into a warmer, orange light that will cause less stress on the eyes.
