An eight-year-old boy in North Carolina was with his family in Utah recently, when he suddenly had to have surgery on a brain tumor.<\/p>\n
Luckily, he’s okay.\u00a0 But he missed his dog Frank, so a complete stranger who heard the story volunteered to\u00a0drive\u00a0Frank 2,300 miles to reunite them.<\/p>\n

Which Is Worse?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n If you double dip a chip, you contaminate the bowl of dip with bacteria.\u00a0 If you drop food on the ground, pick it up, and eat it thanks to the five-second rule, it’s also got bacteria on it.\u00a0 But which of those moves is RISKIER?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to a new study by a food scientist . . . a bowl of dip where someone’s double dipped is filled with MORE bacteria than the average floor.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He found that when you dip a chip into a double dipped bowl, it picks up WAY more bacteria than you would if someone hadn’t double dipped.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And since those are germs that go from person to person, we’re talking things like the cold, flu, coughs, and more.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But when you drop something on the floor and quickly pick it up, it’s actually transferring less bacteria than you think . . . because, quote, “most surfaces are not going to have any kind of dangerous bacteria there.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One more thing:\u00a0 Surprisingly enough, he found that when you drop food on CARPET, it picks up fewer germs than on tile or wood floors.\u00a0 And he says it’s because the carpet actually ABSORBS a lot of bacteria.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S GOOD NEWS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n There’s a

to do with herself.\u00a0 But she says playing BINGO every night was too boring for her.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So she signed up for classes at the University of Texas, with a major in sociology.\u00a0 And

of coal for one couple.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Their names are\u00a0Setiam<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Katherine Allah<\/strong>, and here’s how Lifetime helped ruin their Christmas . . .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Setiam and Katherine took a photo with their kid to send out as a Christmas card, as many families do.\u00a0 And somehow, someone at Lifetime got a hold of it, and used it in the movie\u00a0“Christmas Harmony”<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the scene, a woman wants to put that card and another one up on the fridge, because she thinks they’re “festive.”\u00a0 But her guy tells her not to because, quote, “They’re ugly.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Allahs say they were embarrassed when friends and family started calling to tell them they were in the movie.\u00a0 They obviously didn’t give Lifetime permission to use the photo, and have no idea how they even got it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They’re suing for all the movie’s profits.<\/p>\n

The really big cooking trend for 2019 just might be\u2026foil pack dinners!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Searches for foil pack dinners, also known as \u201ctin foil dinners\u201d, and sometimes as \u201chobo dinners\u201d, are up over 200% this winter, and are said to be perfect for busy cooks, because they don\u2019t involve a lot of prep, they are low-mess, flavorful, and can be very nutritious.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you aren\u2019t familiar with the routine, cooking a foil pack dinner is a pretty simple process: dump some ingredients in tinfoil, bake (or grill), and serve.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And you can prep the packets ahead of time so all you have to do at dinnertime is toss them in the oven.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
