But when life hands you a check for $15,000, it's best to return it. That's what one generous woman did when she found a bundle of cash on her way to work. Last February, Diane Gordon, a resident of Michigan, had her car break down. Since then, she had been walking nearly three miles to and from work five days a week. However, luck was on her side when she did a good deed. On the 21st of January of this year, she was walking home from work and stopped at a gas station for a snack. While there, she noticed something on the ground that she had never seen before. It was a plastic bag filled with a substantial amount of money - $14,780 to be exact. "I looked down on the ground and found a plastic bag with a large sum of money in it," Gordon, a grandmother of two, told the news station. "When you turned it over, there was even more money." She said that, without a second thought, she knew that this money did not belong to her and that she had to call the police. "This doesn't belong to me, I need to call a police officer," she remembered thinking to herself after finding the $14,780 in cash. [Read the story]( Did a friend forward this to you?

The drug, called Zuranolone, was developed by Sage Therapeutics and Biogen, two companies out of Cambridge, [Massachusetts.]( FDA has given the drug’s application priority review and the period ends on August 5, 2023. Currently, there is [only one FDA-approved medication]( for PPD, [Zulresso]( which is only available through a 60-hour, one-time infusion and can cost up to $35,000 per treatment.

As the name suggests, celebrity guests on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” take a dance class taught by kiddy instructors. Sure, the “students” are usually pretty seasoned performers, like [Jennifer Lopez]( [Justin Bieber]( and [Jason Derulo]( but their experience doesn’t make learning the moves any less intense. Anyone who’s tried to [keep pace with a toddler]( knows it’s a helluva workout. Billy Porter was the latest guest invited to participate in this wholesome fitness trend, and he did not disappoint. The acclaimed dancer was at first a tad cocky, ignoring Corden’s warnings that the instructors were “ruthless.” Then again, anyone who looks that good in a black, glittery tracksuit has the right to be. “That’s cute, James, but I’ll be fine” quipped Porter, just before the first toddler rolled in. Then, one by one, about a dozen more teeny tiny dancers came in to have Porter and Corden mimic their moves, all set to Harry Styles’ “As It Was.” In other words—it was the greatest dance class ever taught.

If you're just an average person buying eggs for breakfast, it may seem ridiculous that egg prices are so high when it appears that the local Tractor supply always has baby chicks for sale. But with an outbreak of [avian flu infecting nearly 58 million birds]( while [people move away from meat protein]( and consume more eggs, the price increase makes sense. It's painful to people's budgets, but it's how the market works, and families aren't the only ones feeling the pinch. Small businesses that rely on eggs are also experiencing their budgets busting due to egg prices. Sweet Anna's Bakery in Dallas, North Carolina, already had to raise prices due to the cost of eggs and other ingredients, but owner Courtney Johnson discovered she had a connection. Fifth grader [Rylen Robbins has 21 chickens]( that were producing too many eggs for his family to eat. (You see where this is going, right?)
