There’s speculation right now that we could have a FRENCH FRY SHORTAGE in this country after the unseasonably cold, wet weather damaged potato crops in Idaho, North Dakota, Minnesota, and some parts of Canada.<\/p>\n That most likely means fewer potatoes . . . and higher prices as a result.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n The official \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d Twitter account has unveiled the secret it has been teasing for the last while \u2014 the Blu-ray and DVD release of the whole series. Many fans were left disappointed by the news, because the box sets had actually already been announced. Game of Thrones somehow took over social media all over again last week with a simple three-word tweet: \u201cWinter is coming.\u201d The ominous catch phrase had many fans hoping for news on the prequel series, the books or some other loose end for the franchise, but that was not the case.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The late Robin Williams\u2019 house on San Francisco Bay has just hit the market. Located in ritzy Tiburon area, the 6,517-square-foot home sits on some of the country\u2019s priciest real estate, and that would explain the $7.25 million price tag. \u00a0With water views from almost every room, the sprawling 6-bedroom, 6.5 bath home built in 1987 definitely looks celebrity worthy. Williams, who passed away on August 11, 2014, originally hailed from Chicago. He was a long-time San Francisco resident, living for many years in the exclusive Sea Cliff neighborhood.<\/p>\n ________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TODAY IS\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n COUNTRY MUSIC NOTE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Dierks Bentley’s “Come a Little Closer” climbed to #1 in 2005.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n GOOD NEWS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Back in 2017, a family in Greenville, South Carolina lost a backpack.\u00a0 And a homeless guy named Ben Williams found it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He was addicted to drugs at that point and pretty desperate.\u00a0 But he still wanted to do the right thing.\u00a0 So he rode his bike and walked SEVEN MILES just to return it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shortly after that, he ended up getting arrested for drugs and was headed to jail.\u00a0 But the family he helped found out about it and volunteered to SPONSOR him.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Because of that, his judge had him go through addiction counseling.\u00a0 Meaning he could avoid jail as long as he stayed clean.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And now two years later, he just GRADUATED from that program.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He says the whole thing has been like a “rebirth,” and he’s excited about his future now.\u00a0 His next goal is to become an addiction recovery coach, so he can pay it forward and help other people get clean.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [70] Jeff Bridges, actor (\u201cThe Big Lebowski\u201d, Oscar-\u201cCrazy Heart\u201d)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [55] Marisa Tomei, actress<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [49] Kevin Sussman, actor (\u2018Stuart Bloom\u2019 on \u201cThe Big Bang Theory\u201d 2009-19)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0____________________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n Interesting Behind-The-Scenes Facts from Christmas Movies<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Buzzfeed put together a list of 29 supposedly “shocking” behind-the-scenes facts from Christmas movies.\u00a0 They’re not necessarily all that shocking, but several of them are pretty interesting.\u00a0 Here are the highlights . . .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Christmas classic, “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” celebrates its 30th anniversary this week (It opened December 1, 1989).\u00a0 To celebrate, here are seven of the best scenes, in 60 seconds or less.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n CHOCOLATE: IS THERE ANYTHING IT CAN\u2019T DO?<\/u><\/strong> <\/p>\n According to a new report, chocolate is every bit as effective in soothing a cough as codeine or any other pharmaceutical solution. Professor Alyn Morice, a respected authority on all things related to coughs and medicine, wrote in the Daily Mail that chocolate can soothe a cough better than codeine syrup by forming a sticky coating that protects the nerve endings in your throat that cause you to cough.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Melted chocolate also allows cough-supressing ingredients naturally present in cocoa to help calm your throat nerves.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But here\u2019s the weird thing: Drinking hot chocolate doesn\u2019t have the same cough suppressing effect, because the diluted chocolate solution doesn\u2019t stay in contact long enough with the nerves in your throat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You\u2019re much better off sucking on a piece of chocolate, and letting it slowly melt, and coat your throat.<\/p>\n \u00a0__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 4TH<\/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 [70] Jeff Bridges, actor (\u201cThe Big Lebowski\u201d, Oscar-\u201cCrazy Heart\u201d)<\/p>\n [55] Marisa Tomei, actress<\/p>\n [49] Kevin Sussman, actor (\u2018Stuart Bloom\u2019 on \u201cThe Big Bang Theory\u201d 2009-19)<\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BOS 2 – CAR 0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MTL 4 – NYI 2 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MIN 4 – FLA 2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 VGK 4 – NJD 3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 PHI 6 – TOR 1 <\/strong><\/p>\n ARI 4 – CBJ 2 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 TBL 3 – NSH 2 OT \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WPG 5 – DAL 1<\/strong> \u00a0 \u00a0VAN 5 – OTT 2 \u00a0 <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WSH 5 – SJS 2<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n DUSTIN LYNCH TOPS 1.5 BILLION STREAMS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Dustin Lynch\u00a0has a new single called “Ridin’ Roads and is gearing up for a new tour next year.
