SB1: Hi handsome! Do you come here often?
SB2: Get lost! I'm tired of hearing "Oh, God!"

"The sixth-grader, whom she was supervising during lunch in the cafeteria,
had been leaning back in the chair when Peschi kicked the legs out from the chair,
causing him to fall and hit his head on the floor."

Interesting verdict by the court ...
and event described in this article does not agree with video:
Teacher's foot is placed on back of chair that's leaning toward floor
and her foot pushes down, causing the chair to fall.

... and she was close enough to use her hands to push chair back
to its upright position (probably with reprimand to the student).

This viewer's verdict: She was trying to make a point
... on top of the student's head.

"Leonard Durkin died at the age of 71 after a long history of heart problems, SWNS reports. Before he passed,
he told his son that, when the time came, he would like his favorite snack to be placed on top of his coffin.
Durkin reportedly would visit the Burger King after stopping by his wife’s grave, which was located nearby."

"Long history of heart problems" and frequent "double bacon cheeseburger"
are not necessarily related ... since grave visits can be stressful.

"It's just a slim tube of ranch dressing, relabeled so parents
can trick kids into happily eating their vegetables."

At least, it would taste good on a Beyond Meat burger ...
and, for concerned kids, "It's not a ground up cow." would be true!

As I understand the problem, some veggies don't taste good
because children do not yet have well-developed taste buds.
But the training will be good for later life when taking
necessary medicine that doesn't taste good.

"Lose up to a stone with the fast 800 summer diet consuming 800 calories a day -
'5:2 diet' is a restricted diet (800 cal.) for two days a week, then eating normally for the rest"

"our modern diet — high in sugars and starchy carbs, with constant on-the-go snacking —
lies firmly at the heart of this terrible crisis, with its life-changing problems for sufferers."

However, fast weight loss is rarely recommended by doctors -
go for the better diet (sans bad carbs and with exercise).
And I've discovered that eliminating anything made with flour
(as well as bad carbs in general) helps control blood sugar.

Re: https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/woman ... ordered-16

"An unimpressed Boohoo shopper was left baffled after ordering size 16 bikini bottoms
- only to be sent two separate size eights instead."

Reminds me of the time, years ago, when I found a Hawaiian grass skirt at a discount store,
then left it anonymously on a female co-workers desk, intending to confess after she asked everyone.
But then I learned that it was only half of the skirt, so I never admitted the grassy deed.

She was flattered that someone thought she could wear such a small size
(if worn with a tie on one side, instead of two ties).

"The message from the Court is clear, government hostility toward religious Americans will not be tolerated."

However ... "the Supreme Court sent the Klein case back down to a lower court 'for further consideration

waiting for the states to better define gay rights and gay offenses in a society (even world)
moving slowly toward acceptance of the gay lifestyle.

... and if the trend continues, such businesses might best (and politely, etc.)
refer those cake orders to another baker without protest.

Entrepreneur Alert
Final cake decoration with controversial themes can be a mobile business:
customer's cake with neutral decoration is then theme-enhanced ...
and fewer cake making supplies/equipment are needed.

To avoid legal responsibility for a damaged cake, provide simple decoration
that the customer can apply (even with mobile's on-site instruction).
