She did, and soon her fingernails were growing normally. One day her friend stopped her and noticing her long, groomed nails -- asked her if yoga had totally cured her nervousness. "No," she replied, "but now I can reach my toenails." Golf alone A fellow comes home after his regular Saturday golf game. Noticing he always plays alone, his wife asks him why he doesn't invite any of his friends to play anymore. The husband asks, "Would you want to play with a guy who regularly cheats, or a guy who swears up a storm over everything, or how about a person who lies about his score, and has nothing good to say about anyone else on the course?" "Of course I wouldn't," replies the wife. "Well," says the husband, "neither would they."

I WONDER WHY LIFE'S PROBLEMS CAN’T HIT US AT 17 WHEN WE KNOW EVERYTHING * On May 27, 1831, trapper-explorer Jedediah Smith, who established the South Pass across the Rocky Mountains in modern western Wyoming as a well-known and heavily traveled route for fur trappers, was riding alone when he was attacked and killed by a hunting party of Comanche Native Americans on the Santa Fe Trail. * On May 28, 1983, Irene Cara's song "Flashdance (What a Feeling)," from the "Flashdance" movie soundtrack, reached the top of the U.S. pop charts and helped push the film to the No. 3 spot on that year's total box-office revenue list. It also proved to be the biggest hit of Cara's career. * On May 31, 1970, an earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale off the coast of Casma, Peru, in the Pacific Ocean caused an avalanche traveling at over 100 miles per hour that buried the towns of Yungay and Ranrahirca, killing an estimated 50,000 people and making it the worst natural disaster ever recorded in the country's history.
WE WERE CREATED IN GOD'S IMAGE;.. GOD WONT ALLOW US CREATE HIM IN OUR IMAGE * On May 30, 1899, amateur bandit Pearl Hart and her drifter boyfriend, Joe Boot, held up an Arizona stagecoach, making away with over $400 in cash. Although discovered and sentenced to prison, neither served their full term, and Hart was pardoned by the governor in 1902, living out the rest of her life in relative obscurity. * On May 29, 2014, LGBT advocate and Emmy-winning actor Laverne Cox of the Netflix original series "Orange Is the New Black" became the first transgender person to appear on the cover of TIME magazine. * On June 1, 1958, following a long political crisis over the Algerian War, former French president Charles de Gaulle was called out of retirement to head a new emergency government as prime minister for a six-month term in an effort to keep the country together. * On June 2, 1920, Eugene O'Neill won his first of four Pulitzer Prizes, for his play "Beyond the Horizon," which was also his first full-length work to be staged. Though he was initially not happy over the news, his attitude improved upon learning the award came with a $1,000 prize and did not involve a ceremony. (c) 2024 King Features Synd., Inc.

NEW RULES AFTER A DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE Not all of us left the service unscathed and with an honorable discharge (and all the benefits that would give us) clutched in our fist. Some of us, for one reason or another, did not make it out with an honorable or general discharge, or we even had a bad conduct discharge and/or a court martial. We left lots of benefits on the table when that happened. That's changing, at least a little bit. There are now finalized rules about discharge determinations that expand health care and benefits for some of those who did not get an honorable discharge. They're calling it a "compelling circumstances exception." There are certain circumstances where prior actions can now be reviewed. They'll take into consideration a list of things, such as length of prior service, mental health at the time, any sexual harassment or assault, physical problems, anything caused by combat duty and other reasons and circumstances for the actions that caused the discharge you were given. You have to apply to see what their determination is. You might find that they conclude, once they know all the facts, that the discharge is under conditions other than dishonorable. If you want to apply, see: www.va.gov/discharge-upgradeinstructions/. Additionally, see the detailed factsheet at benefits.va.gov/ BENEFITS/docs/COD_Factsheet.pdf. You can apply online, over the phone or by mail, or you can even show up at a VA medical facility and ask for care. Any of those will get the ball rolling. You'll be sent a letter asking for details. Give them. It's your chance to provide evidence or make a statement about what was going on that led to the less than honorable discharge. You can mail your reply or deliver it to a VA office, and you can also ask for a hearing to present your evidence at a VA regional office. The new rule will take effect June 25, 2024.
