McKamey Manor in Tennessee is said to be the\u00a0scariest\u00a0haunted house in North America.\u00a0 It’s so intense that you have to sign a FORTY-page waiver, pass a sports physical and drug test, prove you’re 21-years-old, provide medical insurance, and watch a two-hour video of previous visitors quitting before the end.\u00a0 \u00a0You get a $20,000 prize for finishing, but no one has ever finished.<\/p>\n
______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Don’t underestimate how much your old sneakers could be worth. Dave Russell of Sacramento, California got $50,000 for his “funky, old shoes” that happened to be a pair of extremely rare prototype Nike running shoes from 1972. Russell said he was given the shoes, now known as Nike Waffle Racing Moon Shoes, at age 25 when he participated in the 1972 Olympic trials in Eugene, Oregon. Only 12 of the prototypes, designed by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman, were ever made, and ten of those pairs were given to athletes trying out for the Olympic team. Russell said he only decided to sell the shoes a few months ago, and got an offer from The Graduate Eugene Hotel, which is building a Nike museum in Eugene.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n (Tom Holland, Benedict Cumberbatch)<\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Last night on “The Tonight Show”, Jimmy was talking to Michael Douglas about all the people he’s played golf with and said he’d love to play with him.\u00a0 Michael said they’d get together but Jimmy doesn’t think he was being serious.\u00a0 (From “The Tonight Show” on Wednesday, October 23, 2019)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n _______________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TODAY IS\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n SATURDAY- _____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n COUNTRY MUSIC NOTE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The\u00a0Dixie Chicks<\/strong>\u00a0made their chart debut with “I Can Love You Better” in 1997<\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n ‘JOKER’ HAS CREATED A NEW TOURIST ATTRACTION IN THE BRONX– LOCALS ARE NOT HAPPY <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Some people will do anything for a “like” on social media.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A staircase in New York City has become an unlikely landmark after it was featured in the movie “Joker.” Fans are flocking to the location, in the Bronx, to recreate scenes from the movie, and locals are taking to social media to remind people the area might not be the safest.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The stairs are located at 167th Street in the Bronx, and were also heavily featured in promotional materials for the film.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One Twitter users wrote, “Those awful stairs on 167 are now renamed ‘the joker stairs’ [on Google Maps] so I just want to remind everyone that the Bronx is not a friendly place for tourist attractions you will get robbed beloved.”<\/p>\n __________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n RANDOM REPORT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n GOOD NEWS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n An eight-year-old girl from Chatham is using her love for knitting as a way to help others.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Eden Koomans received a knitting loom kit last Christmas and according to her mother, Cathy Koomans, the young girl quickly fell in love with the hobby. After knitting a hat for herself and sister, Eden wanted to continue making hats but wasn\u2019t sure what to do with them. That\u2019s when she got an idea.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWe went over to the Chatham-Kent Hospital and went over up to the pediatric ward, remembering that when my girls were little they each received a hat from the hospital,\u201d said Cathy. \u201cSo, [Eden] asked if they wanted to get some hats that she was making and they said they would be interested. That\u2019s kind of where it started.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Eden first got an interest in knitting when she saw her aunt making socks. Since receiving her own knitting kit nearly a year ago, Eden has been working on creating the hats and recently finished her 20th one, which was the goal she had set for herself. On Sunday, Eden and Cathy went to the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance to deliver the hats to newborn babies in the pediatric wing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cathy said it wasn\u2019t totally shocking to see her daughter take on such a big initiative to give back to others, but she was still amazed to see someone so young remain dedicated and passionate to a goal.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [91] Marion Ross, actress (\u2018Marion Cunningham\u2019 on \u201cHappy Days\u201d 1974-1984)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [62] Nancy Cartwright, really rich voice actress (\u2018Bart Simpson\u2019 and others on \u201cThe Simpsons\u201d since 1989)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [48] Craig Robinson, actor<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n THE APPS ON YOUR PHONE ARE KEEPING YOU UP AT NIGHT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n You’ve likely heard that the blue light emitted by your phone and other electronic devices with screens can potentially make it harder to fall asleep at night.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But now researchers say it’s not so much the light, but the amount of time people spend on their phones, that could ruin sleep quality. Professor Russell Foster says, “The amount of light that you get from screens is relatively low. […] for most people it is not going to have a big effect. […] It seems unlikely that it is the light effects versus the alerting effects of these devices.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also, keeping your phone on dark mode or using a screen filter won’t really help anything either– you’ll need to unplug more often if you want to sleep better.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n AIR (CHARGING) PORTS:<\/u><\/strong> <\/p>\n It\u2019s like a modern-day lifeline.\u00a0 Well, not so fast.

He’s so excited and pleasant all the time but it’s genuine every single time.
