A poll of unlucky-in-love adults found more than one in five has seen their relationship come to an end following a quick message. And one in eight has been ghosted — where a relationship is ended with no explanation and sudden withdrawal from all communications. Apparently being dumped by text isn’t the worst way: 13 percent of adults say they would actually prefer to be dumped by text so they could avoid the awkward break-up phone calls or the humiliation of being told “it’s not you, it’s me” in a coffee shop or restaurant.

Two
employees of a McDonald’s in Maine are facing drug charges after a
customer found a prescription medication used to treat opioid
addiction inside her son’s Happy Meal box. Mom Shirlee
Marchesseault said her “blood was boiling” when she discovered
Suboxone packets nestled alongside her 11-year-old’s toy and
McNuggets. “I didn’t even know what to do,” Marchesseault told
the outlet about the June 30th incident. Auburn Police on Wednesday
alleged that one of the fast-food workers had illegally sold the
drugs to the other — who then unknowingly dropped them into the
kid’s meal. Investigators found that the packets had allegedly
fallen out of employee Michael Sevey’s shirt pocket as he was
manning the drive-thru window of the Auburn restaurant. Sevey, 43,
allegedly got the Suboxone from another staffer, 23-year-old Mariah
Grant. Sevey was charged with unlawful possession of drugs, and Grant
was charged with unlawful drug trafficking. Both are scheduled to
appear in court on November 3rd. It was unclear if the two had
retained attorneys.(https://bit.ly/2VnkxVG)

Lived in and loved by some of the most powerful actors and entertainers in the world, the historic W.C. Fields Mansion in celebrity-rich-and-gated Laughlin Park is for sale, priced at $15 million. Some of the neighbors were Cecil B. DeMille, whose home was built on the highest point with stunning views, and Charlie Chaplin. Angelina Jolie bought the Cecil B. DeMille Mansion in 2017 for $24.5 million. Though W.C. Fields was, by far, the most eccentric resident, the home has attracted many other important residents, including Maurice Chevalier and Lily Tomlin. The home’s grounds are rumored to have been designed by Lloyd Wright. Currently owned by Bobby Patton, the Texas oil magnate who co-owns the Los Angeles Dodgers, today’s celebrity neighbors include Angelina, Casey Affleck, Emma Roberts and Kristen Stewart.

Newborns
don't have kneecaps. This belief is only a half truth, as babies
actually technically do have kneecaps when they are born. Those knees
just aren't hardened yet, and remain soft cartilage throughout their
childhood until they eventually turn into bone.

An Arizona man who threatened to set off a bomb during an attempted bank robbery told police he just wanted to pay his rent and buy a car. 32-year-old Anekin Genesis entered a bank in Glendale and passed a demand note to bank employees stating that he had a bomb. He told employees that he would detonate the bomb if he was hurt or arrested. Police said surveillance images show Genesis “pointing to his watch and telling bank employees they were running out of time.” When the employees hid for their safety, Genesis left the bank empty-handed. Officers responded to a report of an attempted robbery by a suspect who may be armed. A witness told a responding officer that the suspect had fled on foot. Police quickly found Genesis hiding behind bushes nearby and took him into custody without incident. The department shared officer bodycam video of his arrest. Police said officers found evidence of the attempted bank robbery on Genesis: a partially written demand note he was writing for another bank robbery attempt. During an interview with detectives, police said Genesis “confessed, saying he thought he would rob a bank to pay his rent money and buy a car.” Genesis was booked into jail on one felony count of armed robbery.
