There are many Millennial moms that were raised on &;quot;Unsolved Mysteries&;quot; and &;quot;America's Most Wanted&;quot; during formative years‚ which may or may not have influenced the way they parent. It can be hard to think clearly when Robert Stack's voice is echoing in your head every time your child is out of eyesight. The jokes about what is responsible for the average Millennial's parenting style resembling more like a helicopter are endless. But sometimes additional caution is warranted where others may find it unnecessary. At least that's what many folks on the internet believe after one mom seemingly split parents into two camps with her revelation about children's parties. Liv‚ who goes by the TikTok handle Liv SAHM‚ takes to social media to explain that her seven-year-old son was invited to a birthday party but when she went to RSVP‚ she noticed the invitation said‚ &;quot;drop off only.&;quot; The mom explains‚ &;quot;It's at someone's house. I don't know these parents. I don't know that there's actually going to be other adults besides this child's parents.&;quot;Liv states that she would not be dropping her young child off alone with strangers. To many parents this seems like a reasonable response. If you don't know the parents or any other adults then how can you ensure your child will be safe. Other parents felt like Liv was completely overreacting with a helicopter parenting style. &;quot;Little kids have been going to peoples birthday parties without clingy parents for decades‚&;quot; one person declares.&;quot;I'm a drop off kinda house. I want the parents to leave that is one less person I have to feed. I don't wanna have to make small talk with other parents‚&;quot; another says. &;quot;That's a big no for me too&;#33; And I always try to take my kids to classmates parties because people never show up‚&;quot; someone writes.&;quot;That's so worrisome. I completely agree with you mama bear‚ same with my son‚&;quot; a commenter says.&;quot;Yeah‚ that would make me uncomfortable too&;#33; It's always a little interesting to me when parents drop off their kids at parties‚&;quot; someone else adds. @livsahm No thank you&;#33; I don’t feel comfortable with that. #mom #momsoftiktok #momlife #sahm #sahmlife #birthday #birthdayparty #celebration #controversial #parenting #parentingtips #parents #no There's no right or wrong way to throw a party for a kid because there's no rulebook. Generally parents are accustomed to seeing invitations that say no siblings or the offer of parents staying or leaving. Many commenters pointed out that it seemed odd that the invitation was worded in a way that sounded like parents staying wasn't an option. Some parents noted that the world has changed since they were children and wouldn't feel safe dropping their kids off either. Others found no issue with it and think fellow parents are overreacting. What do you say‚ odd or perfectly fine&;#63;

As long as humans have endeavored to do anything great‚ there have been those who have tried to take them down. These are the opposite of the creators in life: the bullies‚ haters and naysayers who only want to bring people down to their level. But when you have a dream and desire‚ its easy to tune out the voices of negativity. &;quot;It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles‚ or where the doer of deeds could have done them better‚” Theodore Roosevelt once said. “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.&;quot; Some folks use the naysayers as fuel to push them to work even harder. Basketball legend Michael Jordan was infamous for letting his thirst for revenge drive him to even greater heights on the court.Another Michael Jordan‚ &;quot;Black Panther&;quot; star‚ Michael B. Jordan‚ came face to face with someone who doubted that he could reach his dreams‚ and he wasn’t shy about letting her know that he remembered. What's Upworthy about the encounter is that he did so with class and confidence.In 2023‚ Jordan was on the red carpet for the premiere of &;quot;Creed III‚&;quot; a film he starred in and directed. He was interviewed by “The Morning Hustle” radio show host Lore’l‚ who had recently admitted on the “Undressing Room” podcast that she used to make fun of him in school.“You know what’s so crazy&;#63; I went to school with Michael B. Jordan at a point in life‚” Lore’l said. “And to be honest with you‚ we teased him all the damn time because his name was Michael Jordan. Let’s start there‚ and he was no Michael Jordan.”“He also would come to school with a headshot‚” she added. “We lived in Newark. That’s the hood. We would make fun of him like‚ ‘What you gonna do with your stupid headshot&;#63;’ And now look at him&;#33;”In addition‚ her co-host‚ Eva Marcille‚ referred to Jordan as “corny.”Jordan had no problem discussing their past on the red carpet. “We go way back‚ all the way back to Chad Science [Academy] in Newark‚” Lore’l told the actor. Oh yeah‚ I was the corny kid‚ right&;#63;” Jordan responded with a smirk.“No‚ you did not hear me say that&;#33; I said we used to make fun of the name‚” Lore’l said.“I heard it‚” Jordan said. “I heard it. It’s all good. What’s up&;#63;” he responded. “But yeah‚ [you are] obviously killing things out here…you’re not corny anymore‚” Lore’l clarified.After the exchange went viral‚ Lore’l admitted that she teased Jordan in school‚ but they were only classmates for one year.“So the narrative that I bullied him all throughout high school—this was 7th grade. We were like 12 years old‚ and everyone made fun of each other‚” Lore’l said. “That was school‚ you know. That was one year. And‚ again‚ I’ve never bullied him. That just sounds so outrageous to me.”Jordan later shared some advice on how to deal with bullies.&;quot;Just stay focused‚ just stay locked in‚” he told a reporter from Complex. “You know‚ just follow your heart‚ try to block out the noise and distractions as much as possible and run your race. Don't compare yourself to anybody else. Just keep going.&;quot;

Why are global health officials issuing such ominous warnings about the bird flu&;#63;  Do they know something that the rest of us do not&;#63;  H5N1 has been circulating all over the planet for several years now‚ and it has been the worst outbreak that the world has ever seen.  Hundreds of millions of birds are already dead‚ and now H5N1 has been infecting mammals with alarming regularity.  The good news is that so far it has not been a serious threat to humans‚ but could that soon change&;#63;  According to the World Health Organization‚ the possibility that H5N1 could start spreading among humans is an “enormous concern”… The increasing spread of bird flu to humans is an ‘enormous concern’‚ the World Health Organization has warned. The virus‚ an extremely deadly H5N1 subtype‚ has caused devastating declines in bird populations following its emergence in Europe in 2020. It has since jumped to mammals such as cows‚ cats‚ seals and now people‚ raising the risk of the virus mutating to become more transmissible. The fact that so many different types of mammals are now being infected is definitely alarming. But perhaps cows would not be getting infected if we were not literally feeding them chicken crap… As epidemiologists scramble to figure out how dairy cows throughout the Midwest became infected with a strain of highly pathogenic avian flu — a disease that has decimated hundreds of millions of wild and farmed birds‚ as well as tens of thousands of mammals across the planet — they’re looking at a standard “recycling” practice employed by thousands of farmers across the country: The feeding of animal waste and parts to livestock raised for human consumption. “It seems ghoulish‚ but it is a perfectly legal and common practice for chicken litter — the material that accumulates on the floor of chicken growing facilities — to be fed to cattle‚” said Michael Hansen‚ a senior scientist with Consumers Union. It is not known if eating chicken crap is why so many cows in so many different states are being infected with H5N1. But at a time when the bird flu is running rampant among chickens and turkeys‚ it seems very foolish to take chicken crap and feed it to our cows. In any event‚ now there is a lot of panic about the potential for an H5N1 outbreak among humans. Authorities at the WHO are warning that the death rate would be “extraordinarily high” if such an outbreak were to occur… Experts at the WHO said humans face an ‘extraordinarily high’ mortality rate if the strain were to take hold‚ currently killing more than half of those infected. I agree. The bird flu is very dangerous‚ and if it starts spreading among humans on a widespread basis a lot of people will die. So why are U.S. taxpayer dollars being used to fund experiments in China that are specifically designed to make bird flu viruses even more deadly&;#63;  The following comes from an extremely shocking Daily Mail article… Lawmakers are demanding answers after it was revealed the US is sending taxpayer dollars to a Chinese army lab to make bird flu viruses more dangerous to people. Eighteen members of Congress are demanding answers from the Department of Agriculture (USDA) about the project‚ which was first revealed by DailyMail.com. It is part of a $1million collaboration between the USDA and the CCP-run Chinese Academy of Sciences – the institution that oversees the Wuhan lab at the center of the Covid lab-leak theory. In a scathing letter to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack last week‚ the bipartisan group said: ‘This research‚ funded by American taxpayers‚ could potentially generate dangerous new lab-created virus strains that threaten our national security and public health.’ As I warn in my latest book‚ mad scientists all over the globe are taking some of the most deadly bugs even known to humanity and are purposely trying to make them even more deadly. And way too often‚ your tax dollars are paying for it. Of course experiments on H5N1 are not new. Over a decade ago‚ gain of function experiments that were funded by Dr. Francis S. Collins and Dr. Anthony Fauci actually created a mutant version of H5N1 that “had gained the ability to spread through the air between ferrets”… And yet in late 2011 the world learned that two scientific teams – one in Wisconsin‚ led by virologist Yoshihiro Kawaoka‚ and another in the Netherlands‚ led by virologist Ron Fouchier – had potentially pushed the virus in that direction. Each of these labs had created H5N1 viruses that had gained the ability to spread through the air between ferrets‚ the animal model used to study how flu viruses might behave in humans. The ultimate goal of this work was to help protect the world from future pandemics‚ and the research was supported with words and funding by two of the most prominent scientists in the United States: Dr. Francis S. Collins‚ director of the National Institutes of Health‚ and Dr. Anthony Fauci‚ director of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Why would they purposely create such a thing&;#63; Ferrets were specifically chosen for that research because they have respiratory systems that are very similar to humans. Our ability to create deadly diseases far exceeds our ability to control them‚ and once something gets out it can spread around the globe in the blink of an eye. Right now‚ there is a lot of concern about a “mystery respiratory illness” that has suddenly appeared in Argentina… A mystery respiratory illness has hospitalised dozens of people in Argentina in an outbreak that shares eerie similarities with Covid’s arrival. Sixty patients have been sickened with ‘severe atypical pneumonia’ in the capital‚ Buenos Aires. An alert about the cluster of cases was last night circulated via an international public health surveillance system. Covid was brought to the attention of the world in late 2019 as a result of the same database‚ called ProMed. Hopefully this will turn out to be nothing. But it is just a matter of time before more great pestilences ravage our planet. Will H5N1 be one of them&;#63; I don’t know‚ but this is a story that I will definitely be watching closely.
