Believe it or not, it’s been 10 years since the original iPhone was introduced.

Since then, iPhones – and all the smartphones that followed – have gotten better and faster.

But that doesn’t matter to some people, who have held onto their original iPhone for all these years.

It seems some people have kept their old gadget because they’re sentimental, while others were thinking ahead and are now selling them for thousands of dollars. And then there are the people who like their old iPhone because it’s steady and reliable, even if it’s old!

The hidden Monopoly vote you need to rock!

The game that wrecks parties, friendships and families is about to get a lot weirder if you don’t stop it! Monopoly is running a vote right now to determine their new pieces. Remember how a cat replaced the iron a few years ago? That could happen with every piece. Vote Now.

Fun Fact. They didn’t include the 2013 robot that lost to the cat.

Here is the B-Team Voter Card for this:

The Cole Swindell video that Bachelor girl was in

I got schooled in the ways of the Bachelor by Melissa today on Holly’s show. My favorite part (other than my future victory of their fantasy league) was finding out that one of the contestants was in a Cole Swindell music video. Danielle is the star of the Middle of a Memory video! No time code needed! She is all over this video!

You can join the Bachelor fantasy team here. Let’s get some more dudes in this league!

Good News! Mailman helps a dog

Here is today’s Good News Story! This is my favorite part of covering Holly’s show. Here is the best friend story of a mail man and dog!

Often, mail carriers don’t get along with neighborhood dogs. But this isn’t the the case for Jeff Kramer of Boulder, Colorado, who formed a special bond with a 14-year-old black lab named Tashi.

For years, with his tail wagging, Tashi has been greeting Jeff each day.

These days, though, Tashi isn’t moving around as well and isn’t able to bound down the steps to hang out with Jeff.

For a while, Tashi’s owner was carrying Tashi up and down the stairs to make sure Jeff could say hello to the dog.

And then, Jeff got the bright idea to install a ramp for Tashi, allowing the dog to get in and out of the house easily, and ensuring that the two friends can continue to enjoy their daily visits. (KUSA-TV)

Thank You To Law Enforcement

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan declared January 9, 2017 as Law Enforcement Appreciation Day in the state.

This coincided with National Law Enforcement Day.

To show support for Maryland’s law enforcement officials, the Government House was lit blue for the night.

“Maryland’s law enforcement officers are some of the bravest and most courageous men and women in uniform anywhere in the country, and I am honored to declare today as Law Enforcement Appreciation Day in recognition of their complete dedication to the protection of our citizens,” Gov. Hogan said.

In recognition and celebration of Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, Governor Hogan met with officers from the Maryland State Police, Natural Resources Police, Maryland Transportation Authority Police, Maryland Transit Administration Police, Maryland Capitol Police, and Baltimore City School Police. He also met with representatives from the Maryland Chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors, an organization that provides resources for families and coworkers of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.

 

Baby It’s Cold Outside!

We are in the midst of winter and it is cold!  Today’s high will be 28 degrees with an overnight low of 15 degrees.

These temperatures can be dangerous and you could suffer from hypothermia if you are outside too long and not protected from the extreme cold.

Hypothermia is when your body temperature falls from its usual temperature of around 98.6°F to below 95°F.  People are more susceptible to hypothermia if they are very young, elderly, have an under lying medical condition, consumed alcohol or drugs, or if they are unusually tired.

Hypothermia is due to the body losing heat without being able to replace it.  Some of the signs are:

Shivering

Slow, shallow breathing

Confusion and memory loss

Drowsiness or exhaustion

Slurred or mumbled speech

Loss of coordination, fumbling hands, stumbling steps

A slow, weak pulse.

In severe hypothermia, a person may be unconscious without obvious signs of breathing or a pulse

Medical experts say if someone is suffering from these symptoms – call 911 right away.

On a good note, spring arrives on March 20, 2017.  The Farmers Almanac says April and May will be rainier than normal.
