After 20 years on the same route, the Whole Neighborhood Turned Out To Say Goodbye to a Beloved Mailman

#PostalWorker #FloydMartin #USPS #Marietta For the last 20 years, Floyd Martin's worked the same route in downtown Marietta, and all the people along his route have come to love him — REALLY love him. “He’s really part of our family," Sarah Bullington, who has lived in the neighborhood for 11 years, told BuzzFeed News. “He’s just really special.” Martin told BuzzFeed News the best part of his job was all the people he met and befriended over the years. "They would invite me to dinner. [On] holidays, they would try to make sure I wasn’t alone. They bring gifts to me. If my truck broke down, which it did, they would come out to check on me. They were there for me," he said. So when some of the neighbors learned Martin was planning to retire a couple of months ago, they knew they had to send him off in style. “I knew we had to do something big,” said Becky Poole, who has known Martin for about 25 years. “I had no idea it was going to be this big.” Aro...

Dr. Drew Pinsky warns Los Angeles could be at risk of a deadly epidemic this summer

#DrDrewPinsky #LosAngeles  #BrianKilmeade #Homeless  #Epidemic #InfectiousDisease Thousands of lives may be at risk this summer in Los Angeles and politicians could be to blame, according to one famous TV doctor. Radio host and addiction medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky talked about the horrific conditions on the streets of America's second-largest city Thursday before making the frightening prediction on Fox News Radio's "The Brian Kilmeade Show," which also airs on Fox Nation. "I live in the great state of California, the utopia that is California, which is a nightmare," Pinsky said. "I want to give you a prediction here. There will be a major infectious disease epidemic this summer in Los Angeles." Pinsky described to Kilmeade what he believes to be the almost medieval conditions in the City of Angels and compared local politicians to Nero, the infamous Roman Emperor who allegedly fiddled while his nation burned. "We ha...

Who is Boris Johnson, the man poised to be the next British leader?

#BorisJohnson  #UnitedKingdom #TheresaMay #Brexit #London LONDON — Boris Johnson is one of the most divisive political figures in the United Kingdom. He is also favorite among bookmakers and pollsters to become the next leader of the Conservative Party — and therefore the next prime minister — after Theresa May announced Friday that she would be stepping down June 7. But who is this mop-haired eccentric, viewed by many as an inspiring political entertainer and by others as a dangerous populist? May leaves a Conservative Party in open revolt. Johnson, a celebrity lawmaker who spearheaded the Brexit vote, is hoping to win over the rebels, finally, make Brexit happen and be the leader to put the party back together. But he's far from a consensus candidate. Thirty-two percent of people have a positive opinion about him, according to the pollster YouGov, the highest of any politician in the country. But far more, 46 percent, hold a negative view. "He has a polarizin...

Meet the doctor behind Usher and Kelly Clarkson’s weight loss

#KellyClarkson #Usher #DrStevenRGundry #WeightLoss #PlantParadox Kelly Clarkson and Usher both credit Dr. Steven R. Gundry with their weight loss. Gundry, 68, is the author of “The Plant Paradox,” which supports the theory that lectins — a type of protein found in wheat, beans and potatoes among other foods — are actually dangerous to ingest. Instead, he preaches the importance of eating vegetables including broccoli, Brussels sprouts and avocado and proteins, including tempeh and pressure-cooked legumes. Fruits are also acceptable to eat as long as they are in season. He started his research nearly 20 years ago after meeting a patient who came to him needing heart surgery. Now, he works with celebrities. “I work with a number of celebrities who would rather not [have] people know that I work with them,” Gundry told Page Six in a recent interview. “Oftentimes it’s to get people ready for a role in a movie and sometimes it’s because celebrities actually believe it or not lik...
