He said, 'The reason I wrote the score was because I wanted to have a Disney love song . . . "'I didn't want it to be sung by the rat and the pig' . . .

If you didn't already regret that lower back tattoo from spring break, you might after this: A study found tattoos might cause CANCER. (!!!) Researchers in Sweden looked at 12,000 patients and found people with tattoos had a 21% higher risk for lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. They say the ink triggers an immune response and some of it gets deposited into your lymph nodes. They think the low-grade inflammation from it might be the cause, but they're not sure. They don't expect people to stop getting inked up. They just want to figure out how to make the ink safer. [...]

Only 5% say they feel like they're becoming a LOT more negative with each passing year . . . while 19% think they're slowly becoming more of a downer. 33% don't notice much [...]

Your Memorial Day cookout might cost a little more than last year. "Consumer Affairs" looked at how much seven barbecue staples cost now compared to 2023, and it's a 10% bump. $27.39 a year ago, and $30.18 now. Most of that is because hamburger meat prices are up, but nothing on the list is cheaper than it was in 2023. They compared data from over 150,000 stores across the country and looked at what you'd need for a basic cookout with burgers and dogs. Here are all seven items, and what they'll cost the average American this year. 1. Eight burgers: $8.07, up 15%. [...]

Courtney Vroman2024-05-24T17:31:43-05:00May 24th, 2024|Categories: KARL, KARZ, KMHL|

Dolly Parton's first album, "Hello, I'm Dolly", came out in 1967. Fast forward 57 years . . . and now she's working on her 50th album. This one is rumored to be called, "Dolly Parton: Smokey Mountain DNA". 50 albums, over 57 years, is truly impressive. News about the 50th album has largely been kept under wraps until her niece, singer Jada Star, recently talked to "The Sun". She said, "It is an album that documents [Dolly's] whole life. It has been a huge undertaking which involves the whole family." Dolly usually plays it pretty close to the vest with announcements, so you can't help but wonder [...]

There's a NEW airline that's starting up, which provides a first-class experience . . . for DOGS. It's called Bark Air, and yes, this is a real thing. And it isn't just an airline where dogs don't have to be in crates in the cargo hold. (This BLOWS THE DOORS off that. Sorry, that's a poor choice of words.) The dogs are pampered with plenty of space, along with treats, earmuffs, and beverages . . . including a dog-friendly champagne and even a dog coffee. (???) This is a luxury charter airline so the prices are high. It costs $8,000 for a one-way [...]

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer, which means it could also be considered the unofficial start of ICE CREAM season. (I'm kidding. We all know "ice cream season" is a year-round thing.) The International Dairy Foods Association recently conducted a survey, where 97% of Americans reported "loving" or "liking" ice cream. They asked people for their favorite flavors, and despite the silly stuff some creameries are doing . . . like mac-and-cheese ice cream . . . America likes the CLASSIC flavors. Boring Vanilla is #1, followed by Chocolate . . . Strawberry . . . Butter Pecan . . [...]

Was This Daycare In The Right Or Wrong??? You Be The Judge

Courtney Vroman2024-05-24T11:24:01-05:00May 24th, 2024|Categories: KKCK|

I get why the parents would be upset here. Resistance training like this will only make the kid faster long-term . . . A mom went looking for legal advice on Reddit after she found out a daycare employee put ankle weights on her two-year-old to slow him down. She only found out because she showed up early last Friday to pick him up. An employee claimed they had to use them to protect other kids. He's a little bigger than some of them, but he's never hurt another kid or been aggressive in any way. They claimed [...]
