Over the last few years, delivery drivers have done a fantastic job keeping people healthy during the pandemic, so Toni Hillison Barnett told [News 11]( that she and her husband started a tradition of leaving snacks for their drivers on the front porch. The Barnetts, who live in Louisville, Kentucky, can see the drivers' reactions by recording them on their doorbell cameras. “I live for reactions like this to our snack cart! Thx to all of the delivery drivers out there! We appreciate you!” [Toni wrote on an Instagram post.]( Recently, one of the Barnetts’ delivery guys, a joyous fellow that we believe is known as Dee, went viral on TikTok because of his positive reaction to receiving some snacks during his deliveries. The snacks are tasty, no doubt. But it’s also wonderful to feel appreciated. After Toni posted the video, it received more than 100,000 views.

In an emotional video to her fans, the 54-year-old [French-Canadian singer]( apologized for taking so long to reach out and explained that her health struggles have been difficult to talk about. "As you know, I have always been an open book, and I wasn't ready to say anything before. But I'm ready now." While she has been dealing with health problems for a long time, doctors have only recently figured out why, and the diagnosis means she has to cancel her upcoming shows and reschedule her European tour.

Kids deserve the ability to simply be kids without the media picking them apart. We saw this during Obama's presidency when people from both ends of the political spectrum come out to defend Malia and Sasha Obama's privacy and again when a reporter made a remark about Barron Trump. This is even more important when we are talking about a child's mental health, so seeing detailed reports about Ted Cruz's [14-year-old child's]( private mental health crisis was offputting, to say it kindly. It feels icky for me to even put the senator's name in this article because it feels like adding to this child's exposure.

Either way, just about everyone has lived in a rental home that didn't allow pets. Most people just abide by the rules and vow to get a pet when they find a new home. Some people, on the other hand, get creative. I once came across a post on social media where someone claimed their pit bull puppy was actually a [silver Labrador](. But one woman on [TikTok]( was harboring a secret cat in her rental that had a no pets policy, and either her [cat was unaware]( or he was aware and was simply being a jerk. My money is on the latter since [cats are known to be jerks]( for no reason. I mean, have you ever left something on the counter for a few minutes? They make it their mission to knock it on the floor. So I fully believe this fluffy little meow box wanted to make his presence known in an effort to rat out his owner.

It also provided the perfect send-off before the band’s official breakup months later, ending with the lyrics, “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.” In 1969, “Abbey Road” was the last record the group made together, although “Let it Be,” recorded earlier that year, was released in 1970. Jack Black and Kyle Gass, collectively known as Tenacious D, recently reimagined two of the songs in the medley, "You Never Give Me Your Money" and "The End," for acoustic guitars for a performance on[SiriusXM's Octane Channel.]( everything with Tenacious D, it showed off the duo’s impressive musical chops as well as their fantastic sense of humor.
