If you missed this last week, a video went viral that’s led to a debate about airplane etiquette.<\/p>\n
A woman named Wendi Williams from Virginia was on an American flight from New Orleans to Charlotte.\u00a0 She reclined her seat and the guy behind her, who was in the last row and couldn’t recline, started PUNCHING it.\u00a0 And Wendi recorded a video.\u00a0Well . . . now, Wendi is saying she wants to press charges against the guy. \u00a0AND she’s considering suing American Airlines for defamation . . . because the flight attendant took the guy’s side and gave her a warning that she could be arrested for creating a disturbance. Also, since the video went viral, that flight attendant has been fired. As for the debate about whether it’s okay to recline your seat if it makes the person behind you uncomfortable, the CEO of Delta Airlines decided to weigh in.<\/p>\n
He says, quote, “The proper thing to do is, if you’re going to recline into somebody, you ask if it’s okay first.”\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n Authorities in Alberta say that adults are organizing “fight club”-style meetings between students in the parking lot of the school district. Parents of children enrolled in Grande Prairie and District Catholic Schools got a letter February 7th warning them about the fights, after police ordered they be informed. The letter says in part, “Two adults appear to be organizing the fights. The fight is pre-arranged, the location and time is selected and certain students are invited to the fight. Cars form a circle and turn on their lights. The fight then occurs and is videotaped. The two fights were intense and injuries were severe.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSonic the Hedgehog\u201d is giving Paramount its best box office news in over a year, with an estimated 3-day opening weekend of $55 million. That\u2019s the best opening weekend ever for a video game adaptation. The delayed release of the film prompted by an intense rejection of Sonic\u2019s initial design is turning out to be a blessing in disguise, with estimates for a 4-day US President\u2019s Day weekend haul of $63 million.<\/p>\n _________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rick Moranis is returning to one of the franchises he helped build.

A smelly combination of beer, brandy, and rum started coming out of the faucets on Monday. Apparently, about 6,000 liters of confiscated alcohol had been buried in a pit nearby and had seeped through the soil and into a well.

Prime suspect areas include bathrooms, which might be redesigned to encourage better handwashing practices, toy boxes, bookshelves and play areas with mats, especially those in the corners of rooms, where kids tend to congregate.<\/p>\n In the meantime, while we wait on her study results, experts make these suggestions to minimize the spread of germs: Getting a flu shot, making your child aware of proper coughing and sneezing etiquette, and keeping them at home when they have a cold or flu.<\/p>\n \u00a0___________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TUESDAY FEBRUARY 18TH<\/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\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [70] Cybill Shepherd, actress (\u201cMoonlighting\u201d 1985-89), \u201cCybill\u201d 1995-98)<\/p>\n [66] John Travolta, actor<\/p>\n [63] Vanna White, (\u201cWheel of Fortune\u201d since 1982)<\/p>\n [56] Matt Dillon, actor<\/p>\n [52] Molly Ringwald, actress (\u201cThe Breakfast Club\u201d, \u201cSixteen Candles\u201d, Pretty in Pink\u201d)<\/p>\n [29] Jeremy Allen White, TV actor (\u2018Lip\u2019 on \u201cShameless\u201d since 2011)<\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n He was actually leading when\u00a0RYAN BLANEY<\/strong>\u00a0contacted him from behind and spun him.\u00a0 His car hit the wall and flipped over, then got hit by\u00a0COREY LAJOIE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It was on fire when it finally came to rest.\u00a0 Newman is in serious condition, but luckily, his injuries are NOT life-threatening.<\/p>\n Seconds after the crash,\u00a0DENNY HAMLIN<\/strong>\u00a0edged out Blaney to win\u00a0his THIRD Daytona 500.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CGY 6 – ANA 4 \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ARI 2 – NYI 1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 FLA 5 – SJS 3 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 VGK 3 – WSH 2 \u00a0 TBL 4 – COL 3 OT<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n No winning ticket was sold for the $55 million jackpot in Friday night’s Lotto Max draw.<\/p>\n There were also four Maxmillion prizes of $1 million each up for grabs, but none were claimed.<\/p>\n It means the jackpot for the next Lotto Max draw TONIGHT will grow to approximately $60 million and there will be six Maxmillion prizes offered.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n No winning ticket for Lotto 649 Saturday night so the draw will grow to $7 million tomorrow night.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>LUKE COMBS GOES VEGAN AFTER LOSING BET\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Luke Combs\u00a0is undergoing a major lifestyle change — albeit temporary — after being on the losing end of a football bet with one of his bandmembers.
