You can add the letter J on to your initials, BB that's if BBJ will let you. You might have to be BBJ 2 though

In my case, BBJ stands for "Big Bad John".
When I pop my clogs, BodyButter is welcome to the name.
In his case, it'd then perhaps stand for "Bread, Butter and Jam".

Scientists believe they could be on the cusp of a breakthrough, after a drugs company said it had the first treatment of its kind for Alzheimer's.

The drug, which is called aducanumab, cannot cure it but Biogen says it slows down the rate at which it progresses, essentially meaning people stay more like themselves for longer.

Funny that. They have gotten very good at not curing stuff.
 
A message in a bottle thrown into the sea in Massachusetts, USA has washed up on a beach in southern France, 9 years later.

The sender claims his mind has been "blown."

I'm not sure I would go that far; after all, it would have to end up somewhere. Crossing the channel is pretty impressive (better than washing up on a beach a few miles away from the original launch spot, but "mind blown"?

If it had wound up on the Moon, then maybe.

Still, a nice little story to start your Tuesday.

Yeah, spotted it on the news the other day but loads out there and they all ****ing brilliant.

Easy to take for granted but especially at that age I love that moment of shock and joy - 'dawning' on them I suppose you'd call it. Especially as babies of that age apparently can't control their face, react like that or smile! lol

Brings a smile to my face that's for sure!
 
A pool installation company owner in Florida has paid off the bills of 36 families who were in danger of losing power during the holiday season. After receiving his own utility bill, Michael Esmond got the idea to "take a little bit of stress out" of the season for his neighbours. He contacted the city of Gulf Breeze, where he lives, to ask about helping out everyone whose payment was overdue.
