There’s a new trend online where people are texting their “number neighbor” . . . that is, the person whose phone number is one digit different than yours.<\/p>\n
Like if your number is 867-5308, you’d text the person whose number is 867-5309.<\/p>\n
People are posting\u00a0screenshots\u00a0of their text conversations with their number neighbors on social media, and the responses really run the gamut . . . from people having great conversations to people getting cursed out.<\/p>\n
______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’s funny how such a little creature can cause such a big problem. A stowaway gecko caused a scene on a flight from Mexico to England when it ran through the plane. Officials were called to Birmingham Airport after the lizard was seen darting around the flight from Cancun, Mexico. The team captured the lizard and took it to a local veterinarian for a check-up. They’re now trying to find a new home for the world-traveling lizard.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cJames Bond 25\u201d is shaping up to be an impressive film with the likes of Daniel Craig, Lashana Lynch, Rami Malek and more among the cast members. But now it might be getting a royal touch. Reportedly, when Prince Charles visited the London set in June, he was offered a cameo. Now he is considering it.<\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Corey Feldman has revealed new details about the long-rumored \u201cGoonies\u201d sequel, saying that he co-wrote the original pitch for the movie.<\/p>\n Feldman, who co-starred in the original as \u2018Mouth\u2019, spoke to reporters at an event in Los Angeles this week, and reminisced on how badly he had wanted the sequel to happen. Rumors of a \u201cGoonies 2\u201d treatment and script have long circulated in Hollywood, and while it is fun to imagine, at this point it is unlikely to happen. Feldman said that \u201cwe can\u2019t get everyone to agree on\u201d a single idea.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TODAY IS\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n 2003 [15] A massive power failure in eastern Canada and northeast USA leaves some 50 million people without electricity for up to 2 days<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n COUNTRY MUSIC NOTE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n AUGUST 14TH<\/sup>, 1995\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Garth Brooks’\u00a0The Hits\u00a0became the first best-of album by a country-based artist certified for shipments of 7 million units.

Also, drinking water before or during a meal or snack is another good way to hydrate.<\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n WEDNESDAY AUGUST 14TH<\/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<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [74] Steve Martin, actor<\/p>\n Happy birthday to the Ramblin’ Man himself, Steve Martin!\u00a0 The stand-up comedian, television star, actor, playwright, and all around “wild and crazy guy” turns 74 years old today.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [53] Halle Berry, actress<\/p>\n [36] Mila Kunis, actress<\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Toronto\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Texas\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 0<\/p>\n Seattle \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 11\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Detroit \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 6<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bonus Trivia:\u00a0 John Sebastian wasn’t even scheduled to perform.\u00a0 He was just hanging out.\u00a0 In a career changing moment, the Lovin’ Spoonful member grabbed a guitar when the crew needed time to set the stage for an upcoming band.\u00a0 His decision to help out got him featured on the soundtrack and in the movie.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n GEORGE STRAIT PLOTS VEGAS DATES IN 2020 – (08\/14\/2019)<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n George Strait\u00a0<\/strong>will expand his \u201cStrait to Vegas\u201d shows into 2020, with two additional shows at T-Mobile Arena on Friday, Jan. 31st and Saturday, Feb. 1st.
