    Living around other people means putting up with their quirks, shall we say. Unless you're a hermit in the woods, you're going to be subjected to someone doing something that annoys the bejeebers out of you.

    Some things, though, are just too much for people to take. Nail biting, excessive talking, nose picking...these can be horribly nasty to deal with. JoAnn from Bensonhurst takes on these bad habits and others in the latest episode of her show. You may want to sit down for this ...

    People are one of two ways about pets: They either love them,  sometimes a little too much, or they want nothing to do with the mess and the hair and the smell and can't imagine why someone would allow an animal into their home.

    I'm a pet person, and so is JoAnn from Bensonhurst. Her little pooch, Gizmo, has been a frequent presence in her videos, and in this episode, she answers questions from readers about pets.

    We meet her dog park friends, and JoAnn brings up a subject that most visitors would probably never think of -- but should.

    Ah religion. It has the power to bring people together ... and the power to make them want to kill each other once they are together. It's filled with so much emotion and so many big questions that it can leave the average person swimming in a murky sea of doubt and uncertainty.

    Fortunately for us, there's JoAnn From Besonhurst who has all the answers in her latest episode for CafeMom Studios. Well, at least the answers according to her. From who should be allowed to become Catholic priests -- gay women, of course -- to what's up with the Mormon religion, she preaches her truth in the most hilarious way.

    I don't know what the deal is, but the minute you get pregnant, it's like everyone and their mother suddenly feel the need to fill your head with all sorts of advice about what you should and shouldn't be doing now and after your baby arrives.

    And honestly, sometimes you hear so many conflicting tips on how to do things correctly that it can be beyond overwhelming and hard to tell who has the right intentions and who is simply trying to put their two cents in. And that's why I'm loving this new episode of JoAnn From Bensonhurst from CafeMom Studios -- because she tells it like it is, and gives valid (and hilarious) advice without coming right out and telling pregnant women what to do.

    We all have questions in the back of our mind about sex, and sometimes it's easier to ask a stranger than to let your friends know the crazy stuff that goes through your head.  That's got to be why people are asking JoAnn From Bensonhurst all these sex questions, right?

    Here are some of the questions she's been asked with her outrageous answers, translated into what normal people might say.

    Question: "My husband wants to have sex in public places. I'm scared. Should I?" JoAnn's Answer: "What the hell, if it's 3 in the morning, park in a dark spot, whip it out, shove it in, get him happy, and go home." Translation: Try to find a way to accommodate your partner's preferences while honoring your own boundaries.

    Read on for more hilarious questions and answers decoded and a video of the episode, below.

    There are so many wonderful things about being married I could hardly list them all, but as always, with the good comes some bad. And for many of us, the bad comes in the form of the people who raised the one we love ... the dreaded in-laws.

    It should be easy to love them ... after all, they raised your spouse and presumably did a pretty good job since you fell in love with him, right? But all too often your mutual love for this person sets you at odds.

    JoAnn From Bensonhurst takes them on in the latest episode of her show, where her parents join her. (Her parents are so clearly in love, it's really sweet, and her mom needs her own spinoff, please!). And she's got the true secret for dealing with in-laws:

    JoAnn From Bensonhurst cracks me up. You know why? Because the woman does not hold back. The Brooklyn mom really does "tell it like it is," and that's why so many of us love her. Over the course of her short, but super-vibrant viral career, she's come up with more than a few zingers. And her gems are words to live by, I'm telling you!

    In honor of JoAnn, CafeMom will host an afternoon viewing party on Twitter for the entire season of JoAnn from Bensonhurst today at 2 p.m. EST. (You could win a $25 gift card to Amazon as well as a CafeMom lunch bag!) But before you #LettheGoodTimesRoll, check out ten of the most outrageous quotes from JoAnn, sure to make your day ...

    I'm sure that ever since the dawn of time, there have been dating rules of the road. Some dos and don'ts have stood the test of time, like having the tact to thank someone after they've paid for dinner (or, in the dark ages, perhaps they hunted or gathered it) or knowing better than to talk so much that you don't let your date get a word in edgewise. But other rules are a bit hazier, I'd say ...

    Not according to JoAnn From Bensonhurst, though. The Brooklyn mom is talking "manners" in her latest episode on CafeMom Studios' YouTube Channel, and when it comes to courtship courtesy, she certainly makes some some awesome points. But I gotta say, I'm not with her 100 percent on some of her old-school rules.

    Suzanne Somers is about to give Three's Company fans a much-anticipated treat they've been waiting more than 30 YEARS for! The actress, who became well-known for her role as the daffy blonde Chrissy Snow, will reunite with her former co-star Joyce DeWitt on Suzanne Somers Breaking Through on CafeMom Studios' YouTube Channel this coming Thursday! 

    But in the meantime, Somers sat down to chat with TV Land's Vice President and Creative Director Tom Hill to talk about the show and the impact it made on pop culture. As Hill says in their one-on-one, Three's Company has been a bedrock of classic TV comedy.

    Before I moved to New York, the land where everybody lives in dimly-lit walk-ups, I lived in Los Angeles. And apartments in L.A. are much different than those in NYC, in that they make you much more exposed to your neighbors.

    I've been in the building I live in now for over a year -- there are neighbors I've seen maybe three times. Seriously. And the only reason I found out that the couple on the first floor moved -- three weeks ago -- is because I just saw somebody new moving in. It's great.

    All places aren't like this, though. Like I said, Los Angeles, completely different. When I sneezed, my entire complex would say "bless you" in unison to me. It was awful. Because when you get friendly with neighbors, bad things and awkward situations are bound to happen.

    After watching the hilarious video from CafeMom Studios featuring JoAnn from Bensonhurst, I now realize that I made a cardinal mistake when I lived in Los Angeles -- I got to know my neighbors in the first place.
