It’s real. There’s a doctor in NY that has been giving people “bladder botox” to stop them from having to use the bathroom frequently. It works well for women and men. With men, the procedure is called “prostate artery embolization.” It shrinks the prostate, so it doesn’t push against the bladder so much. This particular doctor has seen a 25% increase in the procedure this spring. He attributes it to people wanting to go on long road trips and not be embarrassed. Would you try it???

You were either Team Edward or Team Jacob after watching Twilight. Interestingly enough, Taylor Lautner’s fiance did the challenge of showing who she had a crush on vs who she ended up with and you won’t believe whose team she was on first… sorry Taylor!
Governor JB Pritzker just signed the fiscal year 2023 budget into law, providing $1.8 billion in tax relief to the working families of Illinois.
“The fiscal year 2023 budget provides historic funding for education, human services, law enforcement and violence prevention. It prioritizes fiscal responsibility, funding pensions at $500 million more than required, repaying the state’s remaining outstanding debts, and putting $1 billion in the Budget Stabilization Fund, also known as the “rainy day” fund, for unforeseen emergencies.”

• Freezes the motor fuel tax for six months – saving consumers $70 million
• Provides $520 million for a one-time property tax rebate – 5% of property taxes paid, up to $300 per household
• Permanently expands the earned income tax credit from 18 to 20 percent of the federal credit while expanding the number of households covered – putting $100 million per year back into the pockets of working families who need it most
• Provides $685 million for direct rebate checks to working families
o $50 per individual
o $100 per dependent, up to three children per family
• Provides families with a “Back to School” sales tax holiday on clothing and school supplies for a week in August and doubles tax credit for teachers who buy classroom supplies – saving $50 million

A strongman, Steve Keeler, lifted over 286 pounds for over 8 seconds with just his middle finger. To put it in perspective, think of him carrying a couch with just that finger. The retail manager smashed a Guinness World Record by deadlifting last weekend. Watch him do it!
The mystery behind Travis Barker‘s ambulance ride to a local hospital has been revealed.
TMZ is reporting that the Blink-182 drummer was suffering from a bout of pancreatitis & “doctors believe it was triggered by a colonoscopy.”
Concern was raised after news outlets reported that he was rushed into a hospital. Later, Barker’s daughter posted a pic of her Dad in hospital bed with a caption that read “please say a prayer” — that has since been deleted.
But now we have some context behind this Tweet sent shortly before this whole episode went down — when he was likely doubled over in agonizing pain:
Get well soon, Travis!
