Iconic weight-loss brand Jenny Craig made a surprising announcement in late April: It's closing its business after being in operation since 1983. The brand's original announcement indicated that Jenny Craig would transition to an e-commerce model, according to a company email obtained by NBC News. However, in early May the company announced it had shut down entirely. "It's with a heavy heart, we're announcing the close of our business," reads a message on the Jenny Craig website. "The last 40 years would not have been possible without you." The message — which is the only thing left on the website, aside from a photo of a smiling woman — also says that all auto-delivery subscriptions have been canceled and the company's coaching sessions, food orders and merchandise sales "have ceased online and in corporate centers."

Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me... Dame Olivia Newton-Something-or-other

Okay, I made a (rare) error. She was still just a footnote to the history made by ABBA.

How dare you even question anything about the contest that launched the legend that is ABBA when they won it in 1974, also helping to launch the career of that year's 4th place finisher (some Aussie chick named Olivia Newton-Something-or-other)!

I heard he's in OshKosh. (B'gosh!)

I know a few people who think the last 2 seasons without Megan Boone have been quite an improvement.

Still haven't watched an inning of baseball this season. I'll sit in front of my computer and hop back & forth between all the box scores for 2 hours, but have had no interest in watching.

NCIS: Los Angeles’ Daniela Ruah Previews 2-Part Series Finale TVLINE | When the final season was announced, I polled our readers on what they most wanted to happen by the end of the season. The Top 5 were: Nell and Eric return…. No good guys die…. Callen and Anna get married (happening)…. Kensi learns she’s pregnant…. and No. 1, Hetty returns in some fashion. How many of those five will they get? Four. Four of those things happen.

Gee... and I always liked you. 😝😇😜

This thread makes me think of Jerome Robbins' Bored-way, which I walked out of at intermission, and my 2 friends who'd stayed walked out of after one second act number. It was all numbers you wouldn't have picked over other numbers from that show, and was as dull as dishwater.

Not realizing the severity of the situation when the story first came out, my initial thought was that he must have tripped over his dick and hurt something. Sorry, Mr. Foxx. 🙁

A family-run bus business in Astoria that has been in operation since the 1980s may have to close down after its premises were repeatedly broken into and its vehicles were damaged by youth vandals. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to try to save the business. Astoria Express Transit, known for its fleet of yellow school buses, has been repeatedly targeted over the last two months by youths who have caused damage and loss of earnings to the business totaling more than $100,000, according to its owner Gail Gualotuna. The alleged assailants got into the company’s 26th Avenue yard in broad daylight on April 2 and then started up a bus Gualotuna had just purchased a few weeks earlier. They then “wreaked havoc,” Gualotuna said, driving the bus into several parked buses and other vehicles – smashing windows, doors and mirrors. Some of the carnage was captured on CCTV footage. The same vandals broke into the location again on April 23, Gualotuna said, although she managed to chase them off the site before they could do any damage. A different group broke into the yard on Sunday, May 7, and threw rocks and stones at a bus smashing a further five windows and a door, Gualotuna said. Police confirmed the three incidents took place. Covering the cost of repairs to her buses has put the company in the red, Gualotuna said, and she is considering laying off some of her 10-person workforce next month if circumstances don’t improve fast. Her father, Luis, set up a GoFundMe page this week to try and bring in some much-needed cash to keep the business afloat. The fundraiser has so far generated around $2,000, with a goal of raising $50,000. Gualotuna said she is upset and worried about the future of the business her parents established in 1986 after immigrating from Ecuador. Gualotuna took the business over when the pandemic hit, she said. “I’ve worked so hard these past two years after the pandemic to continue this business,” Gualotuna said. “But I don’t I don’t know if I can keep up with it. I don’t know.” Gualotuna spoke with the Queens/Astoria Post on Tuesday, May 9, after law enforcement and small business owners in Astoria launched a new initiative aimed at deterring suspects from repeatedly targeting local businesses. The new initiative, called the Astoria Merchants Business Improvement Program, sees police issue suspects with a trespass notice if they return to a premises after previously shoplifting there. The notice can also be issued to individuals who persistently harass or threaten staff and customers at the location, or if they continuously damage the premises. However, Gualotuna said the program will not deter repeat offenders from harming her business, given the assailants who have been targeting her company are minors who were apprehended and then let out again. “What can I do?” Gualotuna said. “They get arrested, get let go and come back,” Gualotuna said. “What do I do in that case? I feel like my hands are tied.” Gualotuna said many youths who commit crimes in the city are not being punished, so they do not fear law enforcement. “They’re not scared of the police. They’re not scared of being arrested,” Gualotuna said. She said the attacks on her business are tough to take. “I’m recovering from the pandemic. I took out loans to be able to keep running like I am now, but it’s becoming impossible to keep up with the loss that I’m constantly having to repair my buses,” Gualotuna said. She added that the company cannot generate revenue when the buses are out of service and getting repaired. Astoria Express Transit transports students to local schools and also provides services for private trips and camps. She feels that the city is soft and crime, which is putting businesses and staff at risk. “They pick and choose what they want to be serious about,” Gualotuna said. “I feel like there’s not too much justice in the system … especially for the small business owners, families that are hard working-class families. [Law enforcement] need to be stronger, reinforce more.” https://queenspost.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/May-7-damage-Photo-provided-by-Astoria-Express-Transit.jpg

No baa-d ending here. Oklahoma police rushed to rescue who they believed to be a man screaming for help — but to their surprise, the source of the cries ended up being a goat. Hilarious bodycam footage captured two Enid cops walking down a field toward the faint sound of someone yelling, “Help.” “I think that’s a person,” one confused officer said. After another anguished scream, officers David Sneed and Neal Storey both broke into a run directly toward what they thought was a man in distress. The yelps — which sounded deep and similar to the voice of an adult man — became louder and closer together as the brave officers ran in the direction of uncertainty. In spite of what they “herd,” Sneed and Storey quickly realized their damsel in distress was a pissed-off barn animal. “It’s a goat,” Sneed said. “It’s a goat?” a confused Storey responded before laughing: “Ah, it is!” The silly billy was upset that he had been separated from his friends, the farmer explained to law enforcement. The property owner greeted and laughed with Sneed and Storey outside the goat’s pen as it continued to shriek, prompting the farmer’s dogs to join in on the noisemaking. “Sometimes a call can really get your goat,” the Enid police department said in a statement. “Thank you, gentlemen. Your swift actions (although in the end not necessary) are appreciated by us all. “All in all, you really can’t say it was that baaad of a call.” https://nypost.com/2023/05/10/oklahoma-police-run-toward-screaming-man-find-goat-instead/

A bizarre neighborhood dispute has erupted in Perth’s northern suburbs. And it’s over the smell of food … On behalf of their vegan family members, a Burns Beach resident has written to their neighbor asking they close their window when cooking their “sickening” meat — PerthNow reports. The upset writer presented the letter with “PLEASE TAKE SERIOUSLY” written on the front of the envelope containing the request. The letter submitted to Hey Perth on Facebook begins: “Hello neighbor, could you please shut your side window when cooking? “My family is vegan — we eat only plant-based foods — and the smell of the meat you cook makes us feel sick and upset. “We would appreciate your understanding — thanks. Sarah, Wayne, and kids.” The letter has garnered hundreds of reactions from users on Facebook, primarily dumbfounded by what they’ve read. “I bet her mouth starts watering when old mate mows his lawn and she gets a whiff of that deliciously fresh cut grass but!” one user wrote. “I’m offended by the smell of the kale she always cooks,” another wrote. Others said it was time to get their BBQs out despite the letter. “Oh, man … I’d be firing up the bbq and inviting the entire street,” one said. I'm guessing the author's iron deficiency makes him obnoxious.
