A 79-year-old woman named Ida Llanos\u00a0has\u00a0been a Delta flight attendant since 1962.\u00a0 And because of annual raises, her salary was around $250,000 a year.\u00a0 She recently got fired though, for allegedly stealing a carton of milk and some cereal from a flight.\u00a0 Now she’s suing, and says management really just wanted her out, because her salary was so high.\u00a0 She says they’d also been accusing her of other things that weren’t true, like drinking on the job.<\/p>\n
______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s that time of the year again, when the night sky lights up with meteors as part of the Geminid meteor shower.<\/p>\n This year, the meteor shower runs from Dec. 4 to Dec. 17,\u00a0peaking on\u00a0the night of Dec. 13 to 14, when roughly 150 meteors per hour can be seen from a clear, dark-sky location.<\/p>\n If you’re hoping to catch them on the peak night of Dec. 13 to 14, there’s one slight problem: We have an almost-full moon to contend with.<\/p>\n Turn off your phone and give yourself at least 30 minutes to allow your eyes to adjust to the (relative) darkness and be patient.\u00a0You can try either earlier in the evening, when the moon is low in the east (it rises around 6 p.m. local time), or you can try in the wee hours of the morning.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n After last September\u2019s car crash, which led Kevin Hart to have emergency back surgery, he commented on his recovery during an interview on \u201cThe Ellen DeGeneres Show\u201d. When asked about the accident, he replied \u201cI am about 65 to 75 percent back to my physical self.\u201d<\/p>\n However, he has still struggled with recovery, adding \u201cThe biggest triumph is when I put my sock on one day\u2026 it was the biggest thing in the world. I ran around the house, \u201cI got my socks on! You ain\u2019t have to do it, I did it myself!\u201d He also says that Oprah sent the best flowers.<\/p>\n ___________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Olivia Newton John\u2019s famous jacket from \u201cGrease\u201d sold at an auction for $243,200, all of which goes to the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre. However, the jacket is back in her possession, because the anonymous bidder gave it back, so she can display it at the center. The two shared a sweet moment when he surprised her with the iconic item, saying: \u201cThis jacket belongs to you\u2026(and) those who love you and those for whom you are the soundtrack of their lives. It should not sit in a billionaire\u2019s closet for country club bragging rights.

far, there’s no word what happened.\u00a0 But Jeff did talk to\u00a0“Entertainment Weekly”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0yesterday, and he said, quote, “It has been an unprecedented season.\u00a0We have learned a lot and it will inform our process moving forward.” He added that Dan was “not happy” when he found out they were removing him from the game.\u00a0 But after a long talk, he was, quote, “very respectful” on his way out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The\u00a0“Survivor”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0season finale airs next Wednesday . . . and because of the sensitive nature of the topics they’ll have to

now because the weather hasn’t been too cold yet.\u00a0 But it’s been getting colder.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first round of coats they put out were gone in a day.\u00a0 Now they’re asking people to donate

One Driver Follows Another to a Police Station <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n A 25-year-old guy named Derek Gebo from Trumbull, Connecticut was driving drunk in his red pickup truck last Friday when another driver passed him . . . and it sent him into full-on ROAD RAGE.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So he started tailing the other driver . . . and kept following even when that other driver pulled into a police station parking lot.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A cop in the lot told the driver it was a restricted area, but he said he was being followed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And as he talked to the cop, Derek pulled into the lot . . . got out of his truck . . . and started walking toward the car while he TOOK OFF HIS SHIRT.\u00a0 Ah yes, the universal sign that you’re ready to fight:\u00a0 Popping that shirt off.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The cop stepped in and noticed Derek was slurring his words . . . and he blew a 0.23 on the breathalyzer, which is about three times the legal limit.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So he was charged with DUI and driving in a harassing or intimidating manner.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n There’s Been a Huge Jump in Head and Neck Injuries Because of Cell Phones<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n If you’ve ever been walking down the street, staring at a text message on your phone, and walked headfirst into a lamp post . . . well, you’re DEFINITELY not the only one.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There’s a new report in a medical journal about a STEEP rise in head and neck injuries in the past 20 years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And the doctors behind it say it’s a DIRECT result of people tripping, falling, and slamming into things when they were distracted by their phone.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n An estimated 76,000 people in the U.S. between January of 1998 and December of 2017 hurt themselves so badly while they were distracted that they had to go to the hospital.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And the rate of those injuries went way up after 2007, when the smartphone revolution really started kicking in.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most of the injuries are pretty mild, but there have been some people who’ve wound up with traumatic brain injuries.\u00a0 There were also people who had broken noses because they were in bed, looking at their phone, and dropped it on their face.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The doctors say the study is a good reminder to, quote, “Be self-aware.\u00a0 Answer a text message, fine, but you shouldn’t be walking around reading articles on your phone.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

And I think that\u2019s the beautiful, cathartic part of music, that you listen to a lyric and it can hit you for different reasons \u2013 for literally what the song is about or something that gets pulled out of it for you. And so, yeah, I mean one of my best friends in the whole world, her mom lost her husband, and when I played the song for her before it came out as a single, I never thought about it the same, truly.
