Who Invented Buffalo Wings?

Former Black Eyed Peas hip-hop pop-music front-runner Stacy Ann Ferguson, a.k.a. “Fergie,” is now a half-century old, a.k.a. “50.”. Fergie was born March 27, 1975, in Hacienda Heights, CA to parents Theresa Ann Gore and Jon Patrick Ferguson. After finding early “Big ‘80s” fame as a child star on TV shows like Kids Incorporated, and various Peanuts specials, Stacy Ann Ferguson’s star began to go international when co-founded the girl group Wild Orchid, and performed on two albums in the 1990s.

Two hundred years ago this month, President John Quincy Adams took the oath of office as the Sixth President of the United States (serving March 4, 1825–March 4, 1829). In the immediate years thereafter, American politics would usher in the so-called “Second Party System” (1828–1854), dominated by the Democratic Party of Andrew Jackson of Tennessee and the Whig Party of Henry Clay of Kentucky.

Listen up, fellow Americans! I've learned the hard way that hospital billing is a minefield. My personal experiences have taught me one crucial lesson: NEVER pay a hospital bill without thorough scrutiny. I once received a mysterious bill during college that turned out to be for someone with my same name who had no insurance. Last year, they overcharged me $100 and even sent it to a collection agency after I spent hours on the phone challenging it.

U.S Senator Rand Paul this week introduced the Nutritious SNAP Act of 2025 to restore personal responsibility and state flexibility to the federal food assistance program. The purpose of the bill is to confront an uncomfortable truth: while the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) was created to fight hunger, it is now fueling a new public health crisis — obesity and chronic disease — by subsidizing the purchase of junk food with taxpayer dollars.

For many, headaches are an all-too-familiar part of daily life. Whether it’s the dull throb of tension or the sharp pulse of a migraine, reaching for medication can feel like the only option. But what if relief could come from your plate instead of a pill bottle?

Over 200 passengers and crew members aboard two separate cruise ships have fallen ill with norovirus, a highly contagious gastrointestinal illness, according to news reports. The outbreaks occurred on Cunard's Queen Mary 2 and a Seabourn Encore ship, disrupting voyages and prompting quarantine measures.

Liberty, Ohio — What was meant to be a joyful weekend, a homecoming, a picnic, and a mother gathering groceries for a celebration—turned into a mystery. Somewhere between the checkout line and the park, something went wrong. By the time the sun rose again, a mother of three had vanished, leaving a running car, unanswered questions, and a family still waiting for her return.

Gen X’ers swear they had Mad Max-level freedom as kids: biking miles alone, playing in woods until streetlights came on, and surviving on PB&Js packed in brown paper bags. But millennials/Zillennials side-eye this like, “Sure, Jan.” So—did 80s parents really not care, or is this just Hollywood romanticizing?

Hey everyone, let’s talk about this: If someone is riding your bumper, do you speed up or play it cool? Here’s my recent experience. I merged onto a winding road heading home (no-passing zones, obviously), and the car behind me was basically glued to my rearview. I gradually increased my speed from 55 to 65 mph over the first 5 miles, but they stayed dangerously close. When we hit the long, straight stretch? I pressed the gas pedal to the floor. Lost ’em temporarily, but then they started gaining speed again—only to pull into my neighbor’s driveway like nothing happened.

Bread is a staple in many diets, but not all loaves are created equal. While whole grain and sprouted breads can provide fiber and nutrients, many store-bought bread brands are filled with refined flour, added sugars, preservatives, and unhealthy additives. These ingredients can contribute to blood sugar spikes, weight gain, and other health issues. If you’re trying to make healthier choices, here are some of the worst bread brands for your health that you may want to avoid.

As a 45+ vegetarian since my 20s, I’ve prided myself on clean eating—until my recent bloodwork showed high cholesterol. How?! I mostly eat whole foods like lentils and quinoa, though I’ll admit to weekly indulgences in processed meat substitutes (Beyond Meat, Daiya cheese). My doctor warned that coconut oil in vegan snacks and sugary sauces might sneak in saturated fats.

If you rely on Section 8 or invest in rental properties, you’ll notice this. They’ve changed the way they calculate voucher amounts, and it could seriously impact renters and landlords.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced an adorable and sweet puppy named Timon. At just 3 months old, this large-breed puppy has already captured hearts with his sweet disposition and engaging personality. Timon has proven to be a wonderful foster companion, showing remarkable respect. “He's been nothing but respectful to his foster fur-brother & sister and simply enjoys being in their company,” explains the nonprofit rescue.

I grabbed avocado toast and coffee at a casual café yesterday. The total was $15, but the tablet screen prompted a tip starting at 25% ($3.75) on top of an auto-added 15% “service fee” ($2.25). No signage warned about automatic fees, and the cashier just stared at me when I asked to remove it. The kicker? I picked up my order at the counter and bused my own table!

After tons of trial and error, I finally found three affordable skincare products that actually do the job. On my third bottle already. Super gentle, no stinging, and the light rose scent is soothing. I drench cotton pads with it (no guilt at this price), and my skin feels refreshed and hydrated.

What you eat before bedtime can have a big impact on how well you sleep and how rested you feel in the morning. The right nighttime snacks can help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and even improve the quality of your rest. The key is choosing foods that promote relaxation, support healthy digestion, and contain nutrients linked to better sleep.

Y’all won’t believe the daily reality check I get living next to the “Jones family” 💀. Three luxury cars (all 2023 models) Fighting over who has to shovel the driveway at 6am.

The 1970s were a golden era for candy lovers, with a variety of unique and creative sweets hitting store shelves. While some of these candies have stood the test of time, others have faded into history, leaving only nostalgic memories for those who enjoyed them. Here’s a look at some of the most popular 1970s candies that are no longer available today.

A possible surge in overdose deaths in Denver could indicate some irregularities in the street drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned Monday. The Denver Post reported there have been a dozen outdoor deaths in March in Denver, including nine in a nine-day stretch. “Over the past month, there have been a lot of reported overdoses in Denver being responded to with naloxone by people who use drugs, services providers, and around the Colorado State Capitol,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville said in the needle exchange’s newsletter Monday. “Over the past couple of weeks, we started noticing the public death posts on social media and then multiple sources from the city reached out to let us know they were overdose related. We alerted HRAC participants and other service providers for quick communication. Unfortunately, many in the city have expressed that we will need to wait for weeks and months before they will officially determine these deaths as overdoses. That is incredibly frustrating as we need real time information of the drug supply and the names of those we have lost.”

if you struggle with wobbly eyeliner like I used to, this technique is a GAME CHANGER:. Plant your elbow firmly on a table (stability is key!) Hold your liner up to your eye with your main hand.

Denver’s homeless hotels and clogged traffic on Pena Boulevard dominated the public comment period Monday during the City Council meeting. Homeless advocate Ana Miller told the council the conditions at the former Best Western homeless hotel on Quebec, one of many such hotels owned by the city, are “Absolutely grotesque … worse than most poorly run prisons ....(I’m) tired of hearing things are fixed. When you’re done using (a hotel) it will need to be completely gutted for habitation again. I want the council to look into these conditions and do something about it. Push for better oversight of how they’re running their shelters.”

Folks, check out this epic fail from my landlord: Rent shot up by $275 in January, and their “repairs” are straight-up crayon-level disasters. Instead of fixing the rotting wooden columns, they just hammered tons of nails into the base like they’re building a Pinterest project. Then, to cover up the white paint nightmare on our lawn, they rinsed paint buckets directly on the grass and… ​

Undocumented immigrants found in Jacksonville will soon face mandatory local jail sentences under a bill the City Council approved Tuesday night. City lawmakers voted 12-5 to pass Council Vice President Kevin Carrico’s proposal, Ordinance 2025-0147 , which could result in up to 60 days in jail for undocumented immigrants in the city.

So I was sipping coffee at this café today when I eavesdropped on two older guys next to me. At first it was just small talk, but then one said:. 'You know, I worked my whole life to retire comfortably... and now that I’m here, I have no idea what to do with myself.'

My mom married my Texan stepdad two years ago after splitting with my dad (who moved to Florida). My stepdad’s ultra-conservative—he hates that I’m applying to art school (“useless degree!”), shames me for dating (my boyfriend’s 25 and a mechanic!), and constantly trashes my mom’s “California parenting.” Now that Mom’s pregnant, he’s pushing me to leave our Arizona home by August when I graduate. Mom says she’s “too stressed” to stand up to him, even though I planned to live here while working part-time.

When Brooke took the CEO position at The Bold and the Beautiful, she genuinely believed Ridge would rehire her. Will she eventually leave town for a while if things don't work out? We must give Brooke the credit.

Buying a condo and dealing with renovations was exhausting enough, and now this… I've been so unlucky lately. I bought my place in December and registered with the HOA, only to find out they raised the fees starting February. I contacted the HOA and found out they notified the seller about the hike a few days after I signed the contract. But here's the kicker: none of this was disclosed in any of the documents I received. I’m starting to feel like the seller intentionally hid this from me. Does anyone know if the seller is legally required to give me all the disclosures before I signed? Feels like I just got blindsided, and I have no idea what to do next.😮‍💨

Denver advocate for the homeless Amy Beck told the City Council Monday that 600 families are living on the city’s streets. It’s a striking increase from just 18 unsheltered families listed in Denver County on the 2024 Point in Time count dashboard.
