A traffic reporter in Kansas City named Nick Vasos\u00a0was\u00a0out sick last Friday after he had oral surgery.\u00a0 And he tried to send an email to his co-workers to let them know.\u00a0 But instead, he CC’d everyone at his station’s parent company.\u00a0 So almost 200 news stations got the email, and a bunch of them did segments telling him to get well soon.\u00a0 The hashtag “PrayersForNick” also went viral over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old was officially diagnosed when she was 16, after years of thinking her symptoms were just a part of regular life. After seeing a story about someone else with the same symptoms, Emma did some research. She found the ice cube test, where an ice cube is placed on the skin for five minutes to test for a reaction. \u201cMost people will just turn red, or be a little numb. For me, my whole arm broke out into hives,\u201d says Emma.<\/p>\n An allergy Doctor says people like Emma who are allergic to the cold will likely always have the allergy, but the severity of their symptoms could improve over time.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n _______________________________________________<\/p>\n Through research conducted by Ancestry, a genealogy service that charts users\u2019 lineage via its database of more than 20 billion public records, Tom Hanks was shocked to learn that he is, in fact, sixth cousins with the late Fred Rogers.

The thought of doing burpees for 12 hours straight would be insane to most but that\u2019s not stopping a Montreal man from trying.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Samuel Finn will attempt to do just that TODAY when he\u2019ll try to complete 5,300 chest-to-ground burpees in half a day. If he succeeds, he\u2019ll nab the Guinness World Record for most burpees in 12 hours. Last month, he completed 2,179 burpees in five hours, his \u201clast big challenge\u201d after about six months of training for the big day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The attempt is being done in memory of his brother Cedric, who was diagnosed in 2017 with a rare and aggressive soft tissue cancer. He died nine months later at the age of 27. Finn started a hashtag and website for the attempt dubbed BURPEES4CED and says he\u2019s raised some $38,000 for cancer research.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The current record Finn will attempt to crush Friday is 5,010 burpees in 12 hours, which a Michigan man completed in October. It won\u2019t be easy. Jean-Francois Gaudreau, the owner of\u00a0the\u00a0gym where Finn will make his record attempt, has faith but was blunt about what it takes to accomplish Finn\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cYou need to be crazy to do burpees for 12 hours,\u201d said Gaudreau. \u201cIt\u2019s super intense because it\u2019s the same movement\u2026 It\u2019s super long. Very tough on the joints.\u201d<\/p>\n But the intensity of the endeavor is exactly why Finn chose it. \u201cI wanted to pick something that would be really suffering for me to show that we can do much more than we think even though we are going through hard times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong> <\/u><\/u><\/p>\n BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Seattle Seahawks quarterback\u00a0Russell Wilson<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a031<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Don Cheadle\u00a0<\/strong>is\u00a055<\/strong>.\u00a0 “Rhodey” Rhodes in the\u00a0“Iron Man”<\/em>,\u00a0“Captain America”<\/em>, and\u00a0“Avengers”<\/em>\u00a0movies, and you also know him as the incredible actor from\u00a0“Hotel Rwanda”<\/em>,\u00a0“Crash”<\/em>,\u00a0“Boogie Nights”<\/em>, and the\u00a0“Ocean’s Eleven”<\/em>\u00a0movies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Howie Mandel\u00a0<\/strong>is\u00a064<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n When You Load a Dishwasher, Should the Silverware Point Up or Down?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Here’s a mundane topic you might be oddly passionate about:\u00a0 When you load a dishwasher, should you put the silverware in so it’s pointing up or down?\u00a0 Or does it even matter at all?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Someone tracked down as close to an “expert” on the topic as they could find.\u00a0 A guy named Ashley Iredale has a degree in industrial design.\u00a0 And he makes a living writing about appliances like dishwashers and washing machines.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to him, it DOES matter which way you do it.\u00a0 And if you want to do it right, the silverware should be pointing DOWN.\u00a0 So the handles are at the top.\u00a0 Here’s why . . .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n First, it’s a little safer.\u00a0 Especially with knives, because it’s easier to cut yourself if you put them in blade-up.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Plus, it’s just more hygienic.\u00a0 If they’re facing down, you’ll only touch the handles.\u00a0 So the part of a spoon or fork that goes in your mouth won’t get germs or smudges on it when you take them back out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some people think putting them in the other way gets them a little cleaner.\u00a0 And he says that MIGHT be true with some dishwashers.\u00a0 But if there’s any difference, it’s marginal.\u00a0 So it’s not worth it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n The Most Anticipated Holiday Movies<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n The holidays are a big time for movies.\u00a0 And according to a survey by the Marcus Theatre chain, nearly HALF of us plan on going FOUR OR MORE TIMES between now and January 1st.<\/p>\n Here are the five most anticipated movies of this holiday season:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n _______________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n FRIDAY NOVEMBER 29TH<\/sup> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Seattle Seahawks quarterback\u00a0Russell Wilson<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a031<\/strong><\/p>\n Don Cheadle\u00a0<\/strong>is\u00a055<\/strong>.\u00a0 “Rhodey” Rhodes in the\u00a0“Iron Man”<\/em>,\u00a0“Captain America”<\/em>, and\u00a0“Avengers”<\/em>\u00a0movies, and you also know him as the incredible actor from\u00a0“Hotel Rwanda”<\/em>,\u00a0“Crash”<\/em>,\u00a0“Boogie Nights”<\/em>, and the\u00a0“Ocean’s Eleven”<\/em>\u00a0movies.<\/p>\n Howie Mandel\u00a0<\/strong>is\u00a064<\/strong>.<\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NJD 6 – MTL 4<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tootie, Blair, Natalie and Jo are going to wish you a merry Christmas on Sunday, thanks to Lifetime\u2019s new movie, \u201cYou Light Up My Christmas,\u201d which features the core cast of the iconic TV series \u201cThe Facts of Life.\u201d And while Kim Fields, Lisa Whelchel, Mindy Cohn and Nancy McKeon won\u2019t actually be playing their characters from the \u201980s sitcom, \u201cyou take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have\u201d the new made-for-TV holiday film.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n __________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n GARTH BROOKS EXTENDS STADIUM TOUR TO CHARLOTTE, NC <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Entertainer of the Year<\/em>,\u00a0Garth Brooks<\/strong>\u00a0has announced another stadium date, this time in Charlotte, North Carolina on May 2 and tickets go on sale next week.
