I feel like this makes sense because as we age, like, our hormones kind of dwindle. Yeah. Right?

They decrease. Yeah. Yeah. So, scientists in Germany have discovered hormones can now be used to slow down aging. The hormones include insulin like growth factor one, growth hormone, estrogen, retinoids, and melatonin.

Okay. And some of these help combat wrinkles and gray hair. Okay. So now I need some hormones. You can go be good.

You can go I got both of those going on, wrinkles and gray hair. You're like, where? Hormones are us. Where? I need some help.

Definitely gonna need some of these. Yeah. Yesterday, apparently, Amazon had a global outage. Oh, that ain't good. I was not shopping on Amazon yesterday, but, some people experienced checkout issues.

Actually, millions of customers did. They reported being unable to complete purchases with comments like can't check out. But, apparently, it hit major cities, which is interesting. New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Seattle. So Can you imagine, like, trying to check out trying to imagine you're trying to get, like, a a gift or something like that, and you can't check out, and it's timely, and god really need it.

Yeah. That would be frustrating. I can tell you, like you said, you said you weren't shopping on Amazon yesterday. But this Amazon outage did not affect, the bustling metropolis of Grovetown, because we were getting Amazon packages yesterday like we were the hub. Mhmm.

Because my wife's ordered a couple of presents, for a friend of ours, his baby, who's turning one this weekend, and she also ordered a couple of things for our house. I mean, we every time I went home yesterday, there was more Amazon packages on the on the front door. So, yeah, this outage did not affect Grovetown, Georgia. I can promise you that. I love this.

I need to look and see if there's video of this, online because I need to see this. Yeah. This happened in England. There's a woman there named Hilda, and she recently celebrated her 100 birthday by throwing a rave. I love this.

It was a rave party thrown by Aldi. The celebration included a DJ, neon lights, and plenty of dancing. There were over a hundred people there. Wow. And she was thrilled and said, it was the best part of my life, baby.

Everybody in the back, go, Meemaw. It's your birthday. It's your birthday. I wonder if she was up dancing. At a hundred and five, that's impressive.

Yeah. DJ, would you mind putting on the stanky leg? It's my birthday.
