SIDEWALK CHALK

Subdivisions... We love them because there are plenty of people and kids around and fun going on and we feel safer; but then there are the RULES and The homeowners association... 

JOGGOBOT

We saw this and it is the NEXT step to staying in shape and having a fitness coach that will help push you. The hard part about working out is NOT being motivated is we all want to be fit BUT it's getting up off the couch after a hard, long day at work and then finding someone to do it with you. 

AROUND THE WORLD

Jake Villanueva is a 23-year-old Surrey, B.C. man who has cancer. On Father's Day of last year Jame was diagnosed with kidney cancer and given 6 months to live. Jake was asked how it felt to have that diagnosis and he said, "When you're told you have a terminal disease, you can never work again, you basically have to come home and live with your parents: Can you imagine at 22 what that must feel like?"

Ashley and Brad,

Most of the time I feel like I'm with an amazing guy. My boyfriend is strong and smart and funny and we get along really well.

The only major problem in our relationship is that he has no idea how to handle me when I get upset.

If I'm stressed out and start crying, he totally shuts down and doesn't even attempt to comfort me.

I've gotten upset with him about this a few times and his answer is always the same -- he says he's not naturally good at that and that's what my girlfriends are for.

I don't know what to do about this.

SPRAY ON TAN

Okay, when I say THE TANNED MOM, I think we all know WHO I am talking about!  And just maybe HER look has convinced you that tanning beds are not good for us.  So onto the next alternative: THE SPRAY ON TAN! 

After all, no burning the skin, no PRE-mature aging, no UVR rays, no melanoma or other skins conditions. BUT (and you may not like this) even the SPRAY ON TAN has its side effects! 

AHHHHH

Burger King Bacon Sundae

Well...well... all the way from New York City comes something WE here in Tennessee came up with... and I'm not so sure I'm proud of it!

Burger King wants to lure customers in the U.S. this summer with a barbecue party — and a bacon sundae.

The world's second biggest hamburger chain is launching several pork, beef and chicken sandwiches as limited time offers starting tomorrow.

SHUT YOUR MOUTH

Mimi Duphily was hanging baskets of pink geraniums on antique street lamps downtown for the Middleborough Beautification and Activities Group when she noticed something else that needed cleaning up -- citizens' mouths.

"The cursing has gotten very, very bad. I find it appalling and I won't tolerate it," said Duphily, a civic leader in the otherwise quiet New England community, which calls itself the Cranberry Capital of the World. "No person should be allowed to talk in that manner."

THE SHOW IS COMING BACK

There must be something with certain TV shows that get people really excited.

Last week Lynne mentioned that she is so excited the TV show Dallas is coming back on TV.

Apparently the new version of Dallas follows the kids of JR and Bobby.

The original Dallas ran from 1978-1991.

Larry Hagman, along with original cast members Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy, will be on the show.

TEACHER TELLS THE TRUTH

David McCullough Jr. is an English teacher at Wellesley High School in Boston. Over the next few days some people are going to be OUTRAGED over what he did a few days ago at his school's graduation. Not us. We think he's a HERO.

David spoke at the graduation and TOLD THE TRUTH. You're not special. Even if your parents have told you that every day. No one's going to hand you anything in the world. So if you want anything from this point on, you have to earn it.

THIS IS HAPPY NEWS

Ever wonder when you’ll die?

According to some researchers, they discovered, after studying 2 million people, their is one day that you're more likely to die.

Think about it, is it Thanksgiving or Christmas when stress is high being with family?

Is it your wedding anniversary and the stress of buying a gift for your loved one?

Nope, you’re more likely to die on your birthday than any other day of the year.

Researchers analyzed 2.4 million deaths over a 40-year period and came up with this theory.
