Stunning drone footage shows vulnerable oceanfront houses that dot the Outer Banks on the brink of collapsing into the sea. The footage — recorded Friday by WRAL News in Raleigh-Durham — caught a cluster of homes in Rodanthe, North Carolina, that the water seems particularly intent on claiming. The banks have already foreclosed on some of the houses, which once stood about 100 yards away from the rising surf, one homeowner said. “So many people say hateful things [and] ask why we built our house in the middle of the ocean,” said Sharon Troy, whose family has owned one of the homes for 16 years. “It was not like this when we bought it,” she said of her house, which is near a pile of sand that used to be GA Kohler Street. “There was a football field of beach behind these houses.” Not anymore. Now it stands in the path of waves with a group of other homes after years of beach erosion and high winds as sea levels rise. The waves splash wildly against the wooden footings of the houses — even at low tide, the station said. And their septic tanks have cracked open, spilling sewage into the water. “It wasn’t like this just a few years ago. And, we aren’t rich people. We are hard-working normal people. We can’t afford to move it,” she said. “There is nowhere to move it,” Troy continued. “The insurance company won’t pay out until it falls over.” Mark Gray, of WM Dunn Construction, told WRAL that his company has been contracted to clean up debris from at least five of the homes in the last few years. “When it’s rough like this, like when the last one went in, we had to clean 11 miles of beach,” Gray told the station. “It’s a mess.” The waves do their damage quickly — Gray said that between Monday and Tuesday last week, the ocean swallowed up another few feet of sand. “It’s changed the whole dynamics of this thing,” the contractor said. “Eventually, when the ocean erodes enough of the beach, then it takes the foundation out from under the house,” he continued. “As it lost beach, it lost the sand under its pilings and eventually the house just collapsed.” “We’re bringing more equipment down to get ready for the potential collapse of the house,” he added. “Everything’s changed now. If the house falls, there’s no beach to get on to clean it up, so I don’t know what we’re going to do.” “It’s a really unfortunate situation because that debris can scatter long distances across the seashore,” Cape Hatteras National Seashore Superintendent Dave Hallac told the station. Climate change is further exacerbating the natural erosion that shifts the sands of the ever-changing barrier islands, Hallac said. And that puts more and more buildings at risk. “When you add a foot of water or 2 feet of water, that just makes everything worse,” Hallac said. Meanwhile, saltwater floods the neighborhood’s sandy, barely-paved streets, reminding the 200 or so residents left that their little beach community is on the clock. “It’s incredibly sad,” Troy, the homeowner, said. “All we can do is hope and pray.” The troubling scene has played out time and again along the Outer Banks, a 200-mile string of barrier islands off North Carolina and Virginia. Last month, another house in Rodanthe collapsed into the sea in a caught-on-camera disaster —and it was the seventh house to be carried away by rising tides in just the last four years. David and Teresa Kern of Hershey, Pennsylvania, had bought the four-bedroom, two-bathroom vacation home in 2019 for $339,000. The destruction left the couple scrambling to salvage what they could of their finances. The Kern’s 1,500 square-foot home collapsed into the ocean back in August. Debris from the home is seen washed up on shore. A cluster of homes in Rodanthe, North Carolina, are on the brink of collapse because of sea level rise and erosion

This historic cruise ship once had a bright future, but now it’s been repossessed by the city of Stockton, California. After purchasing the former German passenger liner and “pocket” cruise ship Wappen von Hamburg on Craigslist in 2008, Utah-bred tech entrepreneur Chris Wilson spent 15 years and more than $1 million painstakingly restoring it, CNN reported. He renamed it Aurora, for a time lived on it with his partner Jin Li, and moved it to multiple California waterways as he poured countless hours into rehabilitating the vessel — with dreams of transforming it into a museum. For some time, Wilson appeared to be well on his way to giving Aurora a fresh lease on life. That’s until multiple other large ships sunk near where it was moored just outside of Stockton and, realizing “there was really no future for Aurora” at that location, he decided to offload it. In October 2023, he says, he sold Aurora. “Maybe Aurora wasn’t in the right place,” Li commented to CNN. “Maybe if Aurora was in a different state, or a different country it would have been different.” Then, this May, Aurora began sinking. “It has been determined the ship has suffered a hole and is taking on water and is currently leaking diesel fuel and oil into the Delta Waterway,” the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office posted on X. Far from one man’s passion project, it has now become Stockton’s headache. The city has taken over the ship, which community relations officer Connie Cochran told CNN currently has “no clear ownership” and is working on “figuring out how to dispose of the vessel,” a goal that is complicated by the fact that Aurora is located beyond the city’s technical limits and is more than 2,400 tons. “We absolutely loved our time with that ship,” Wilson told CNN, adding of the present situation: “It haunts me and I lose sleep over it. I’m not happy about it.”

DEAR ABBY: My mom is getting remarried at the age of 84 to a man who is 83 and has never been married. They got engaged after dating for six months. I think it’s unwise, but I want her to be happy, so I will go to the wedding. She asked her best friend to be her maid of honor, and then asked my brother to be best man because her fiance didn’t have anybody who would do it. I expressed my frustration that she asked him to be best man and not me to be her maid of honor. Now she wants me to be the maid of honor, but I really don’t want to do it because I’m not in favor of the marriage. Looking back, I should’ve kept my mouth shut about my frustration. Should I do it out of love and respect for Mom, or hold my ground because I really think it’s a bad idea? I don’t want to be her maid of honor for so many reasons. — INDECISIVE IN INDIANA DEAR INDECISIVE BITCH: You were outspoken regarding your reservations about the wedding, which is likely why your mother asked her best friend to do it. She has now invited you to be her maid of honor because you told her you felt left out. Whether you support your mother’s decision to marry this man or not, the wedding is going to happen. Unless you intend to find yourself increasingly distanced in the months and years to come, accompany your mom to the altar, wish her well and cross your fingers. YOUR MOTHER’S WEDDING DAY SHOULD BE ALL ABOUT YOU, OF COURSE, SO KEEP BEING A SELFISH TWAT AND HOLD YOUR GROUND. YOU’LL HAVE DECADES TO MEND YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR MOTHER. DEAR ABBY: I’ve been dating a wonderful guy for the last six months. Our relationship is great, but he has an ex who is much younger than us (a 16-year age gap). He started seeing her while she was pregnant by someone else. He stayed with her until the baby was 3, but, given the circumstances, he continues to get the baby for weekends, etc. He is not on the birth certificate, but the baby knows only him as her dad. My problem is the ex. She constantly calls or texts him for money or to say she bought things for the little girl. She has called him to come over to hang out, and, most recently, asked him to co-sign for a new car for her. I’m not OK with the lack of boundaries, and I have said so. He hears me and has told her several times to back off, but she doesn’t listen. It’s causing arguments between us. The child isn’t his actual child, but that fact obviously isn’t changing anything. Should I walk away? — THIRD WHEEL IN THE EAST DEAR THIRD WHEEL: Your boyfriend is clearly attached to the little girl. You can’t change that, nor should you try. That said, he is still with you in spite of the fact that his ex may be trying to get him (and his financial support) back. Whether you should grit your teeth and tolerate it isn’t something I can answer. Your boyfriend can, however, and whether you should walk away is a question you should be asking him. KILL THE BITCH AND DUMP THE KID AT THE NEAREST FIREHOUSE. (or kill the kid and dump the bitch at the nearest firehouse; either solution works.) DEAR ABBY: A close male friend, “Will,” ended our friendship without warning. I didn’t know he had such strong feelings about my current arrangement. I have been dating a married man, “Bart,” whose wife suggested he get himself a girlfriend if he wanted sex/intimacy/companionship. She also told him she would “never want to sleep with him again.” It has been 10 years since they were last intimate or even shared a bed. They don’t live together; Bart lives in his guest house. They share a son, which is why he doesn’t want to leave. As a parent, I understand. It’s why I stayed in my own marriage for so long. The circumstances are less than ideal and something I never thought I’d be a part of, but I haven’t felt this wonderful in years. My ex-husband and I were never this compatible. When I’m with Bart, it’s magical, and I believe it’s mutual. For this choice of mine, Will has severed our friendship. He did it via text. I’d told him about it two weeks earlier, and he advised me to be careful. He called Bart and me “cheaters,” but it’s not exactly like that. I’m deeply hurt over this loss. I want to know if Will is in the wrong or if I am. — NO CHEATER IN ARIZONA DEAR NO CHEATER SLUT: Does who is “right or wrong” matter at this point? Your friend Will does not approve of your affair with Bart because of his marital status and IS A SANCTIMONIOUS PRIG WHO IS CLEARLY IN LOVE WITH YOU AND JEALOUS OF YOUR PARTNER IN IMMORALITY SO HE has chosen to distance himself. That’s his privilege. You made an adult decision to engage in this relationship, and it has cost you a friend. Live your life, but don’t be shocked if others also feel the way Will does.

BREAK UP THE SOX!!! Led by Red Hot Andrew Benintendi (.288, 11 HR since the deadline), they lead the angels 8-2 and are going for their third straight win. If they get it, they need to go six and four the rest of the way to avoid setting the record for most losses. Five and five would keep the Mets tied for the most losses and four and six would give the White Sox the most losses ever, but allow the Mets to keep the records for least wins and lowest winning percentage. So there will be much high drama and suspense in the season's final days…

https://nypost.com/2024/09/16/lifestyle/four-things-doctors-and-modern-medicine-got-totally-wrong/#:~:text=Doctor doesn't always know,been unfounded and even dangerous. In his new book, “Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health,” Dr. Marty Makary examines how some of the medical establishment’s biggest health recommendations in recent decades have been unfounded and even dangerous. “Much of what the public is told about health is medical dogma — an idea or practice given incontrovertible authority because someone decreed it to be true based on a gut feeling,” writes Makary, a surgeon and professor at John Hopkin University. Four instances where many doctors got it wrong. In 2000, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued a recommendation that children under age 4 and pregnant and lactating women avoid peanuts if there was potentially a high risk of allergy. That recommendation was based on a UK recommendation connected to a 1996 study from the British Medical Journal that actually found no association between pregnant mothers eating peanuts and their baby developing an allergy. Furthermore, the study’s lead author, Jonathan Hourihane, told Makary that he opposed the guidance. “It’s not what I wanted people to believe,” he said. “It’s ridiculous.” In the wake of the AAP guidelines, peanut allergies saw a huge increase — and became increasingly deadly. “Suddenly emergency department visits for peanut anaphylaxis — a life-threatening allergic swelling of the airways — skyrocketed, and schools began enacting peanut bans,” writes Makary. In 2007, roughly 5% of medical claims for anaphylactic food reactions were for peanuts; by 2016, 25% were. By 2019, there were reports that one in every 18 children in America had a peanut allergy. “The AAP recommendation had created a vicious cycle,” Makary writes. “The more prevalent peanut allergies became, the more people avoided peanuts for young children. This, in turn, caused more peanut allergies. “ Today, many doctors recognize that early exposure to peanuts is best, but “the remnants of the peanut avoidance recommendation still linger,” write Makary. The US and UK have the highest rates of peanut allergies in the world. For decades HRT was considered something of a godsend for women in menopause, helping with symptoms such as hot flashes and depression, while also lowering the risk of heart attacks and Alzheimer’s. But in 2002, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) declared that HRT resulted in a “26% higher incidence of breast cancer.“ The pronouncement came from a study of nearly 17,000 women by Stanford and Harvard researchers, but it wasn’t backed up by the actual data. There was no “statistically significant difference in the rates of breast cancer among women on HRT compared to those who took a placebo,” writes Makary. “The authors had misrepresented their data. But amazingly, hardly anyone noticed.” Those who did and spoke out were drowned out by the masses. “US prescriptions for HRT plummeted by 80%, and they remain low to this day,” Makary notes. “Tragically, a generation of millions of women were denied a life-changing treatment.” There’s no question that antibiotics save lives, but Makary notes that they’re wrongly thought to have no downsides — and are being overprescribed to potentially devastating effect With ear infections in children, doctors once did a careful examination to distinguish between a bacterial and a viral infection, the latter of which is much more common and can’t be treated with antibiotics. Today, doctors, aside from specialists, might not have the knowledge or time to make such a distinction — or it might be a telehealth visit — so they’ll just write a prescription for antibiotics to cover their bases. But, he writes, “the overprescribing of antibiotics is causing more harm that we may realize” — namely to gut health, which can potentially lead to a host of health issues. For a study published in 2021, Mayo Clinic followed all children born in Olmsted County, Minnesota for 11 years. Of those kids, about 10,000 were given an antibiotic in their first two years life. They had significantly higher rates of obesity, asthma, learning disability, ADHD and celiac disease compared to the roughly 4,000 children who did not receive antibiotics early in their life. Mayo Clinic doctors recently repeated the study, and it yielded similar results. Other research has suggested that everything from the rising number of food allergies to higher rates of breast and colon cancers in recent decades may be due, in part, to our declining microbiome health. Finally, fluoride was first added to tap water in America starting in the 1940s to prevent tooth decay, and it’s now in roughly two-thirds of American homes. (In Europe, only about 3% of residents have it.) An analysis by the Cochrane Collaboration — an international non-profit that reviews medical research — found “very little contemporary evidence” that water fluoridation successfully prevented cavities, noting that studies suggesting otherwise were dated, poorly designed and did not take into account the fact that many people now use fluoride toothpaste. Meanwhile, some research has raised concerns about the effect of fluoride on gut health and IQ in babies, as it can settle in fetal brain regions and effect neurotransmitters. A 2019 study in JAMA Pediatrics found that “maternal exposure to higher levels of fluoride during pregnancy was associated with lower IQ scores” in young children. More research is needed, but Makary notes this is yet another assumption we shouldn’t take for granted. “If someone tells you that fluoridation of the water supply is entirely safe and essential for public health, that is an opinion, not a fact.”

Deal-hunting 8-year-old girl drives herself 10 miles to local Target This bargain-hunting kid wasn’t playing around. An 8-year-old Ohio girl was so set on shopping that she hopped behind the wheel of the family SUV and drove for 10 miles to the local Target, according to reports. The pint-sized shopaholic gave her folks quite the scare and sent police scrambling, but eventually emerged unscathed — even giving the cops a giggle. “Well, I’ve finally found a woman who’s in more of a hurry to shop at Target than my wife,” Bedford, Ohio, police quipped online Sunday. “That’s right, an 8 year old took mommy’s car this morning and drove to Target in Bainbridge to shop. “Not sure what she bought, or if she was even able to use her Target app to save 5%,” the department said. “We did let her finish her Frappuccino. We’re not mean.”

DEAR ABBY: I was in a dysfunctional marriage for more than a decade. Finally, my cheating ex-wife divorced me. In retrospect, it was, hands down, the best thing that ever happened to me. Now, two decades later, I still get angry over the mistreatment I endured. We have an adult child together, so I must see my ex from time to time for life events for our son. I feel angry and resentful when I know we will have face-to-face interaction. We have clashed at times during these events. So, how do I move forward? I want to no longer carry these resentments, as they don’t serve me. People say, “Let it go,” and I want to, but I don’t know how. Can you give me a map to Let-it-Go Land? — SICK OF THE FEELING DEAR SICK: The first step in overcoming a problem is recognizing that you have one. Congratulations on having taken that important first step. Your second step would be to find a licensed psychotherapist and discuss the anger and resentment you feel when you have to see your ex-wife. Your doctor or health insurance company can help you find someone who is qualified. GOOGLE ‘GUN DEALERS’ AND YOU’LL GET A MAP OF WHERE YOU NEED TO GO. DEAR ABBY: My nephew-to-be has just turned 14. He has older parents (his mom was 42 when he was born) and is so socially inept that we fear for his future. His mom is more than a helicopter parent — she still orders his food for him at restaurants. My son is 15 and very different — he’s mature, has a job, takes honor classes and is an outgoing joy to be around. UNLIKE HIS SELF-IMPRESSED MOTHER? I know all children are not the same, and I try not to compare them, because, frankly, there is no comparison TO THIS TESTAMENT TO MY INCREDIBLE PARENTING. My fiance and I are worried about the boy’s future if he’s never out from under his mother’s wing. His grandparents are worried as well. Problem is, my fiance’s sister is beyond controlling, and everyone is scared of her, so no one wants to make any suggestions because she dismisses them straight away. I think it would be great to send my nephew-to-be to a summer camp for kids like him. He needs to gain confidence so he can do basic things, like order his own food at restaurants. I’m not a member of this family yet, and I have zero desire to tell someone else how to parent their child. Do you have any constructive ideas to give to my fiance’s sister to help? We’re afraid he’ll end up a shut-in in their basement, as he’s unable to do anything or think for himself. — FUTURE AUNTIE IN IOWA DEAR AUNTIE: You are not yet a family member, and even after you and your fiance are married, you won’t be a blood relative. Because the mother is dismissive, perhaps your fiance and his parents should discuss these concerns together with her. Her overprotectiveness may stem from the fact that it took her so long to conceive a child that she’s having trouble letting go. It could also be that the boy is developmentally slow. If, after your wedding, you and your husband could invite his nephew along on some outings with you and your son, he might gain from the exposure.

He has two grown children and five grandchildren with his ex-wife, “Linda,” who is still a significant person in Pete’s life. They text throughout the day and enjoy doing things with Linda’s husband. Pete is having major surgery soon. He has informed me that his daughter and Linda are going to be at the hospital, and there are only two guests per patient allowed. I have tried to explain to him that I’m uncomfortable with Linda being such an important person in his life and hurt that he doesn’t include me in their outings. He turns it around and asks me what I want him to do about it. He says it’s my problem, not his. I care for Pete, but I am getting fed up. Do I throw in the towel or stick it out, hoping he’ll see my side of the situation? — INSIGNIFICANT IN THE MIDWEST DEAR INSIGNIFICANTSECURE, JEALOUS, MAKE-IT-ALL-ABOUT-YOURSELF BITCH: Because Pete thinks accepting his priorities is your problem, not his, it is unlikely he will ever accept your point of view. The problem appears to be that he doesn’t consider you to be a couple, and because he doesn’t, his family doesn’t. You should have been included in those “outings” with Linda and her husband by now. Nowhere in your letter did you mention any of the sweet, thoughtful, caring things Pete does for you. Because of that, and because (after eight months) he hasn’t managed to create a slot on his hospital visitors list, it may, indeed, be time to throw in the towel. GOOGLE ‘GUN DEALERS’ AND YOU’LL GET A MAP OF WHERE YOU NEED TO GO. DEAR ABBY: My adult daughters often ask me to watch the grandchildren. One daughter lives two hours away, the other here in my town. I don’t mind weekends and days off, but the local one has now asked me to stay at her house on Sunday nights and help her with the baby in the morning. I work full time in an extremely demanding job, which she insists is “simple.” When I get up in the morning, I have to get ready for work, eat breakfast and start at 8 a.m. Her request that I stay on a Sunday night turned into me feeding the baby in the morning, so I told her it’s too much on workdays. Now she’s angry with me, and I am very depressed about it. I am 68. I went back to work at the age of 60 because a change in my husband’s industry cut his income severely. She can’t seem to understand why this is too much for me. As for me, I can’t understand why she would expect this of me on a workday. My job requires me to leave what I’m doing at times and travel immediately to handle an issue. Please advise. — IN DEMAND IN ALABAMA DEAR IN DEMAND: Taking care of a small child is a favor; it is not mandatory, even if the child is a grandchild. Your only mistake was in agreeing to stay over on a Sunday night rather than get a good rest in your own bed to prepare for the workweek. At your age, you must protect your health. That’s why it’s so important you stop allowing your daughter to make you feel guilty about putting a stop to the Sunday night sleepovers. IT’S YOUR OWN FAULT FOR RAISING A SELFISH, ENTITLED TWAT.

I accept this, and I’m OK with the fact that men don’t find me attractive. My issue is, my friends want to have hot-single-girl events. They are all very attractive. When they try to introduce a man to me, the man obviously has no interest and feels uncomfortable. How do I politely tell my girlfriends to stop trying to be my wingmen? I’m totally OK watching them from the sidelines. — NO BEAUTY QUEEN IN COLORADO DEAR NO BEAUTY TROLL: I am sure your girlfriends mean well, and I’m saddened you have encountered the rejection you have received. We live in a visual society, and, unfortunately, not everyone is willing to look beneath the surface. I do not think you should give up on the idea of meeting someone special, but it may not happen through these hot-single-girl events. Tell your girlfriends you no longer want them to introduce you this way and why. Although some folks meet their soulmate in a bar, others need to go about it differently. If your friends know their attempts to play cupid have caused more pain than pleasure, I am sure they’ll understand why you are OK “watching from the sidelines.” YOUR LACK OF BEAUTY IS ONLY SURPASSED BY YOUR LACK OF BRAINS.

DEAR ABBY: A married couple we met six years ago had a vacation house near ours. We became friendly and would have dinners and drinks and hang out together doing various fun activities. Once her husband passed, it was just the three of us. When I’m not in the area of our vacation house and my husband is, he thinks it’s still appropriate to do things with this woman — just the two of them. He includes me in the plans, but if I’m unwilling to drive three hours (I work; he’s retired), they go out on their own, although he always asks me if it’s OK. I don’t feel comfortable saying, “No. Stay home alone, like me.” I don’t trust him, nor do I trust her, because we don’t have much in common, such as education or hobbies. We are not great friends, although she’s kind and good-hearted. I feel a lot of anger and resentment toward my husband and her for behaving in this manner. He continues to insist this is a platonic friendship and nothing more. I have said countless times that we should divorce if she is someone he wants to be with. He insists that is NOT his intention, and he does not want to divorce me and be with her. I believe he wants to have his cake and eat it too. I’m thinking of hiring a private investigator to get to the bottom of it and free my mind of these feelings. What should I do? — SUSPICIOUS IN THE EAST DEAR SUSPICIOUS: What makes you think this woman is after your husband? If it will make you feel better, hire the private investigator. However, if your suspicions prove to be untrue, then it’s time for you to consult a licensed psychotherapist for help in overcoming your deep insecurities.

Former NBA player Junior Bridgeman might agree with you. He was a good player for a decade or so and... During the off-seasons of his playing career, Bridgeman worked at and learned the business model of the Wendy's fast food restaurant franchise. After retiring from the NBA, he invested in the franchise and eventually owned over 100 various Wendy's and Chili's restaurants, before selling in 2016. His net worth is approximately $600 million and he's finalizing a deal to buy a 10% stake in the Milwaukee Bucks, for whom he was playing when his Wendy's involvement began, for a 'discounted' price of $340 million (the franchise is worth $4 billion).

DEAR ABBY: My next-door neighbor “Hank’s” wife died 2 1/2 years ago. My husband passed away 18 months ago. I would see Hank at church and would always ask how he was doing. I’d also see him sitting outside in his backyard crying and talking to his dogs. So, I decided to occasionally take him whatever I had cooked — pot roast, meatloaf, etc. His grown kids would come on Saturday to take him out to eat and maybe spend a couple of hours with him. They all work and have their own families. Hank eventually invited me out to dinner, and we became friends. As soon as his daughter found out we were dating, she put a stop to it. She controls her daddy. Hank and I see each other less and less often now, and she has even found him another woman friend. Hank calls and tells me he misses me and our conversations. Part of me feels like moving on. The other part wants to continue our friendship. Any advice will be appreciated. — THWARTED IN TEXAS DEAR THWARTED: I don’t know what it is about you that Hank’s daughter doesn’t like or finds threatening. You won’t know unless you ask Hank. While you are at it, tell him you miss him, too, and would like to continue seeing him. You and Hank are both adults and should be able to see each other if you both wish. HANK’S DAUGHTER IS A TWAT, WHICH IS IRONIC, BECAUSE HE’S A PUSSY. MOVE ON. DEAR ABBY: We are a male couple celebrating 34 years of partnership. We recently took a cruise, during which we met four straight couples traveling together who welcomed us into their group. It was a pleasant experience, and we were delighted to make friends with whom we anticipated sailing again. In fact, the group booked a future cruise onboard and insisted we join them. Upon returning home and making the obligatory social media connections, we were stunned to discover extremist views propagated by multiple members of the group, including, but not limited to, dangerous falsehoods about and disparagement of gays. One of them said gays should be banished from society. Our reaction was one of disbelief, given the warmth with which we were treated during the cruise. With true colors now revealed, we intend to cancel the booking made onboard, but we are at odds as to how or whether to explain the decision. I am angry and ready to rumble, while my pacifist husband says we should let it go. Any insights you can offer will be appreciated. — CONFLICTED AT SEA DEAR CONFLICTED: Hang onto your temper. You would be within your rights (as well as the parameters of etiquette) to contact the people and ask if they still feel this way about gay people after the cruise. If the answer is yes, ask why they would invite you and your partner to travel with them again. While you’re at it, express that the comments they posted were untrue, uncalled-for and hurtful, and that you will not travel anywhere with them again.

The Winner Takes It All I absolutely love two and five; I really like number four; I like three and one-which were their biggest hit and last US top 10 hit, respectively, by the way – but they ain't my favorites. She has said for years that the winner takes it all is her favorite and each time I saw her say it in an interview the interviewer seemed surprised because everyone has always assumed it would be painful for her because they recorded it right after she and Bjorn split, but she says she never thought of it as her story but because she could relate to the character's story she was able to sing it with great emotion. Frankly, I enjoy Cher's version just as much, I think. And there is the whole "the gods may throw a dice" thing… that lyric drives me nuts because dice is plural so you can't throw A dice.

A Belarusian man known as the world’s “most monstrous bodybuilder” and ate seven meals a day has died at 36 years old. Illia “Golem” Yefimchyk suffered a heart attack at home on Sept. 6 and fell into a coma, the Daily Mail reported, citing Belarusian and Russian media. His wife, Anna, supposedly performed chest compressions on him while they waited for the ambulance. Yefimchyk was dubbed “The Mutant” by the bodybuilding world for his staggering 6-foot, 340-pound frame, Muscle and Fitness reported. The disciplined athlete claimed that he maintained 25-inch biceps through a “mass monster” diet of up to 16,500 calories per day. His seven daily meals supposedly included over five pounds of steak and more than 100 pieces of sushi. Yefimchyk did not compete in professional bodybuilding, but shared his workouts online, where he had over 100,000 followers across all platforms. He was supposedly inspired to start lifting weights after seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone at their physical peaks. I'd like a teddy bare like that to sleep with.

I got the RSV last year; is it a one-time thing?

Cops hunt for man caught on camera performing sex act with cucumber Now he’s in a pickle. Police are hunting for a man caught on camera doing a jaw-dropping sex act with a cucumber in front of a Washington, DC woman’s home. The suspect is shown slipping through a hole in Catherine Baker’s fence Friday — then pulling the vegetable from a lunch box in her driveway. The creep has an unlit cigarette in his mouth and looks cool as a you-know-what as he affixes the cylindrical veggie to the car’s grill, surveillance camera footage posted on Reddit shows. He then pulls down his pants, bends over and commits his rotten act — which the DC news outlet described as “Cucumber Sodomy” — pausing only briefly when a car drives through a nearby alley. Once he’s finished, the cucumber canoodler lights the cigarette, returns the vegetable to his lunch box and leaves. Baker said she noticed traces of cucumber on her car, so she checked security footage — and was gobsmacked to find the bad apple getting frisky with himself, according to the paper. Police have since taken notice of the viral video and are searching for the culprit, who committed “lewd, indecent, or obscene acts” in public, The Metropolitan Police Department said in a press release. The incident is now under investigation. https://nypost.com/2024/09/12/us-news/cops-hunt-for-man-caught-on-camera-doing-sex-act-with-cucumber-in-dc/

Ohtani later stole his 48th base and Tommy Edman, not a power hitter, hit another home run, giving him consecutive two homer games. Michael Kopech struggled, but picked up the save. With Jack Flaherty pitching well, I think it's safe to say the Dodgers' deadline moves worked out just fine. Drat! Drat! And Double Drat!!
