Nettles took to Twitter to make the announcement, linking to a profile of the album in Rolling Stone. She says the project will be more intimate and emotional than anything she’s done with partner Kristian Bush in Sugarland. Some of the songs she wrote on her own, while others she worked on with songwriters like Sara Bareilles.

• Over a quarter of those who snooze on the left side of the bed feel they have a really positive outlook on life in general, compared with 18 percent of right-side sleepers.
• More than half of those surveyed refuse to swap sides of the bed.
• More than 75 percent admitted it would feel really strange to sleep on the other side of the bed.
• 25 percent said sleeping on the other side of the bed would definitely affect their mood the next day.
• 23 percent are convinced there is a wrong side of the bed.

Ok, as I stand at the foot of the bed, I sleep on the right side. But if I’m sitting in bed I would call that the left side. I’m confused. It really makes no difference to me. I still sleep soundly! So for me, there really isn’t a wrong side of the bed! BLOG YOU LATER!

As a life long member, it is always sad to see these things happen. My first thought, was sadly, that with these amazing marriages, once we see the wife of these incredible men pass away, they soon follow.  I know that sounds so sad, but in a sweet way, I think that their marriages are so incredible that these amazing men don’t last long without that spouse by their side.  I would be so sad to see that happen.

My thoughts are with President Monson today and his family. What a very sad day for all of them, and us. She was an incredible woman who led a life full of service and devotion. What a special woman. She will be sorely missed.

But, if you want to get rid of those crusty dry feet, you have to try this. It really does work.

It’s called the Listerine fix. Seriously!

Get your feet ready for summer.

Mix 1/4 cup Listerine (any kind), 1/4 cup vinegar and 1/2 cup of warm water. Soak feet for 10 minutes and when you take them out the dead skin will practically just wipe off!

Some of you out there may need to soak those puppies a bit longer. Just kidding!

I wish I would have had this fix years ago. Living in St.George, this is a MUST-DO!

The Most Embarrassed Cop In America
The most embarrassed police officer in American is a proud member of the NYPD! Authorities say a New York police officer who was trying to be a Good Samaritan and help a cat who was stuck in a tree, climbed up and then got stuck himself. They had to call the Fire Department to use a bucket ladder to get the officer and the kitty down. The NYPD has refused to release the officer’s name or comment. Guess this answers the age-old question — who’s better: cops or firemen? (myway.com)

Would You Sit Around And Wait For Stink?
Researchers at an Ohio State University greenhouse are sitting around awaiting the smell of stink! Actually they’re awaiting a rare second bloom by a rainforest plant known as a corpse flower — that does have a very unpleasant odor. The university says the nearly 6-foot titan arum is expected to open this week, releasing another round of its rotting-flesh smell a little more than two years after it first flowered. A second corpse flower opened briefly at the greenhouse last May. A university spokeswoman said cultivators are lucky to have three blooms in three years. Each brief bloom attracts visitors hoping to catch a glimpse or a whiff of it. The plant expected to bloom soon is nicknamed Woody, after Buckeyes football coach Woody Hayes. By the way, you can watch all of this on the Ohio State University website and avoid the stench. (The Columbus Dispatch)

No More Butt Crack
A British company called Polycell has decided there’s just too much accidental butt crack in the world. So they’ve designed special underwear for men and women to stop “unsightly cracks” from showing. The aptly named PolyPants have a higher, more secure waistband so that even if your pants drop in the back, your crack is covered. According to their own research, 61% of men and 47% of women have admitted to accidentally showing butt crack. Construction workers were deemed the biggest culprits with young people wearing baggy pants coming in a close second. Women in low-rise skinny jeans were third. 79% of those surveyed admitted they felt embarrassed if accidentally showing crack, although 7% said they actually felt “cool” when showing off their behinds.

American Airlines, We Have A Houston Problem!
It wasn’t “Houston we have a problem,” it was “We have a Houston problem– a Whitney Houston problem!” An American Airlines flight from Los Angeles to New York had to be diverted to Kansas City so marshals could remove a female passenger who would kept singing Whitney Houston’s “I’ll Always Love You” repeatedly! The tuneless singing began shortly after the flight took off, but around halfway through it became too much for fellow passengers and staff to bear. The woman was filmed being escorted from the plane, in handcuffs, still belting out the 1992 number one hit. Kansas City Airport spokesman Joe McBride said: “The woman was being disruptive and was removed from the plane for interfering with the flight crew. There was a federal air marshal on the aircraft, who subdued the woman and put her in cuffs and removed her from the plane.” The annoying crooner was later released without being charged, but had to make her own arrangements for the rest of her journey as the airline would not let her board another flight.

Too Many Pickles? Oh, That’s a Beatdown!
In Quincy, Massachusetts, 49-year-old Tina Drouin apparently felt a sandwich maker had put too many pickles on her sandwich. Police say Drouin ordered a steak and cheese sandwich from Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs at the Quincy train station around 2 p.m. But she went a little crazy and started yelling that an employee was putting “too many pickles” on the sandwich. She also started making “other derogatory comments regarding the preparation of the steak and cheese.” When the employee refused to give her a refund, Drouin allegedly punched her in the face and shoved “two large very heavy jars” of pickles at her. The jars shattered on the floor. Drouin then tried to run but the Nathan’s employee caught up to her and held her until police arrived and charged her with assault. (CNN)

Worst. Grandson. EVER EVER EVER!
The worst grandson on the planet lives in Orangeburg, South Carolina. That would be 43-year-old Richard Fleener II who investigators say stole money from his own grandmother and stole HER ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIR! Authorities say Fleener was living with his 78-year-old grandmother from November until February, when he stole so much money from her that her power was shut off for several days. Fleener is accused not only stealing the wheelchair, but also his grandmother’s television and window air conditioning unit. He’s been charged with theft and abusing a venerable adult.
