EVERYDAY HEROES: Every Sunday after church for a year, Edna Kowalski took a cab to the county animal shelter to visit Chester, an old beagle mix who’d been at the shelter for two years. Within a month, the volunteers noticed Chester waiting at the front of his kennel by 11 every Sunday, before her cab even pulled into the parking lot. When the cab ran late, Chester paced until he heard Edna’s voice.
When a volunteer finally asked Edna why she didn’t just adopt Chester, she explained that her lease didn’t allow it and she couldn’t afford to move on her pension. When the shelter director told Edna’s building manager about how Edna had visited Chester 52 Sundays in a row, the manager agreed to allow Edna to adopt him.

MAHA: Once in a blue moon, I have smelled nail polish remover on my breath. I just learned that this is a real thing (as opposed to me being flaky). There are two reasons it can happen … one good, one very bad.
Briefly, when the body uses up readily available glucose, it starts burning fat. Acetone is a waste product of this fat-burning process that is expelled through the lungs. Acetone is a type of nail polish remover. If you’re healthy and fasting, exercising, and/or eating a low-carb diet, acetone breath is a sign your body is burning fat.
But if you’re NOT healthy, acetone breath can be a sign of a life-threatening blood sugar crisis. Symptoms of this include deep, rapid, and labored respiration; frequent urination and extreme thirst; persistent vomiting and abdominal pain; blurred vision; confusion; extreme lethargy; loss of consciousness.
NORTH CAROLINA: A year ago, a student at Ardrey Kell High School asked for and received permission to paint the above message on the school’s “spirit rock.” Within hours of the message appearing, school officials ordered it to be painted over, then publicly humiliated and slandered the student. The girl and her parents sued. The school board just settled, agreeing to pay $95,000 in costs and attorneys’ fees and issuing a public statement apologizing to and clearing the student of all wrongdoing.

For a while, X did not allow non-joiners to view videos. Several alternative sites arose, but then Eloon crushed them. Happily, it seems X again allows non-joiners to view videos. For now. They keep changing the rules to entice one to join and that just makes me less inclined to join.
.facebook.com/reel — now it seems that Facebook is messing with non-joiners. As it has been all along, at first there’s a popup to join, but one can close that and start the video. However, now, after about a minute or so there’s a new join-up popup over the video that cannot be bypassed. I’m not only not going to join Facebook, I will probably quit going to Facebook video links.
They just mess with us to their own detriment.

Too true! If I didn’t have so many family Facebook contacts, I’d have stopped going long ago.
