Not sure if this has been discussed, guess I'm just curious......what's your favorite day of the week?

Friday is mine, and I’ve been retired for quite some time, but I still love Fridays. Monday does come in a strong second……just cause I don’t HAVE to get up and get going. But I’m sure most love Fridays as well eh??

Ken Jeong new spokesman for "down there care". 😂

The way Ken Jeong puts it, he's helping Cottonelle assemble a team like Marvel's "The Avengers" — but with butts.

With an imaginary cape made of toilet paper and flushable wipes, Jeong partnered with the brand to become Cottonelle's first-ever "Assvertiser." His new title was announced Wednesday by Kimberly-Clark, the Wisconsin-born company which produces Cottonelle.

Jeong's mission? Spread awareness about "down there care" by getting people to talk about their personal situations and feel confident to find solutions.

As part of the campaign, which Cottonelle calls "Assvertising," people can compete for $10,000 to join Jeong as brand ambassadors later this summer.

Seeing the sky for the first time after being caged for 28 years..............

A 28-year-old chimpanzee, who was caged her entire life, saw the open sky for the first time in her life in a heartwarming video captured at her new home in Florida.

Vanilla, the rescued chimp, spent years at a New York biomedical research laboratory where chimps were often housed in small cages, which were “suspended from the ground like bird cages,” according to Save the Chimps, a chimpanzee sanctuary.

In 1995, Vanilla and about 30 chimps were sent to the Wildlife Waystation – a now-closed animal sanctuary in California – where she joined a small family group.

When Wildlife Waystation closed in 2019, due to financial difficulties, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife moved all the animals living in the Los Angeles County sanctuary to locations around the country. CDFW officials said finding a new home for the 42 chimps “proved especially difficult.”

and another one of those pesky polls........read it or don't.

Wisconsin is shaping up to be a tight battleground in the Republican primary for the presidency, according to Wednesday's Marquette University Law School Poll.

Former President Donald Trump was favored by 31% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents surveyed, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was at 30%.

But in a head-to-head matchup, DeSantis was favored by 57% and Trump by 41%.

And in theoretical general election matchups next year, President Joe Biden led DeSantis by 49% to 47%, while Biden had a bigger lead against Trump, 52% to 43%.

"We should be looking at this for how the election is shaping up not as a prediction for where it will end," poll director Charles Franklin said.

…………. In the overall Republican primary sample, former Vice President Mike Pence was at 6%, U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina was at 5%, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley was at 3%, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy was at 3% and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was at 1%. Twenty-one percent of voters hadn't decided.

The Wisconsin numbers, especially on the Republican side, run counter to some recent national polls that show Trump building a large lead over DeSantis.
