Things are pretty good at Sunderland AFC at the moment. We’ve won our first four games of the season conceding just once, we had a busy final day of the transfer window bringing in four new players, and several of our better players have signed new contracts recently. The new kits and some good touches around the SoL and on club media have added to this sense of quiet positivity.

Are people getting more high maintenance or is it just me? One thing that you can't deny is that CERTAIN people require a lot more TLC and attention, on the daily and especially during trying times. This applies to both platonic relationships and romantic. We usually call these people high maintenance because, well, they usually require (or demand!) all of your efforts and then some to be satisfied. These characteristics are closely linked to their zodiac sign temperament, so read on to see who is on the list!

5 Zodiac Signs that are the Highest Maintenance and Most Demanding

It's been eight years since beloved former child star and Oscar-winning actress Patty Duke died from sepsis (a ruptured intestine) at only 69 in 2016. She was also the recipient of two Golden Globes, three Emmys, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the 1960s, she was the star of her own TV sitcom. In the mid-1980s, she served as President of the Screen Actors Guild. Through it all, she was married four times (including once to actor John Austin), had three sons, and never stopped acting. This is her tragic yet triumphant story.

The Pittsburgh Steelers brought in two quarterbacks with significant starting experience this offseason when they signed Russell Wilson and traded for Justin Fields. The 35-year-old Wilson is a legend on the downside of his career, and he hasn’t looked like his Hall of Fame self since 2020 with the Seattle Seahawks. Fields was supposed to be the Chicago Bears QB of the future until the team landed the rights to Caleb Williams. He always had talent but never really put it all together.

Justin Fields might be Steelers Week 1 starting QB after all
