In a broad sense a platform dictating to news outlets how to conduct business probably isn’t the best thing, but man oh man would I ever not shed a tear if Apple News decided to put the hammer down on the way that some of its members use the important story notifications. That hammer, in …

A Not So Simple Question
Gill is back with a health update. Here’s her original post if you need to catch up. As always, we’re wishing her the best. When people ask “how are you?” what do you normally tell them? My standard response is “not bad.” But have you considered that those three simple words could force a not …
Straight Outta Oktoberfest
Best version of this I’ve heard since that Nina Gordon one.
Girls Just Want A Banana Boat
I feel fairly confident that this would not be an idea I would ever have, but I’m glad someone did. Thanks for tossing it my way, Barb. Incidentally, I feel like a bad friend. I don’t think I’ve ever plugged Barb’s World’s Bliss radio show even though she’s been on the air for like two …
Maybe Try Making It Back At Auction. Some Of Those Suckers Will Buy Anything
With the world of art being as silly and subjective as it is, how is it that I can’t recall having ever heard a story like this one before. It seems like such an obvious stunt to pull once you hear it. A Danish artist has pocketed 534,000 kroner ($84,000) in cash that he received …

Police were called Wednesday afternoon to Bob Tyler Toyota in Pensacola after “a customer complained to a sales associate about a naked woman in …
There Is Much To Be Learned Here. About The Law, About Customer Service, And About How To Truly Help
None of this should be happening. There’s little excuse for not knowing as a business owner that service dogs are allowed in your establishment in everything but very specific, extreme circumstances. But none of this should be happening either. Others have shown up to the restaurant parking lot, just to see the place in person. …
Wake UP, Methew
You may read many funnier things today, but the description of how this fellow was discovered hit me the right way just now. “On Friday, September 17th, Matthew Williamson, 37, was charged with Unlawful Breaking and Entering a Vehicle (UBEV) and Theft of Property 3rd Degree. Pleasant Grove police officers transported him to Jefferson County …
Psychological Warfare
Before I let Gill take over and talk about her great uncle, I just want to say thank you to everyone who fought and died on behalf of our country, and I’m sorry that our various governments haven’t always had your back. Many of you did and saw things that no person should ever have …
