History Facts lists eight names US parents no longer give their newborns, which you may no longer hear in Virginia. The girls' names are Doris, Gertrude, Mildred, and Judith. I know or have known women with all four names, but they are either baby boomers or boomer parents' ages and someone's grandma or great aunt. Consider the ages of females in Virginia you know with these names.

I was at an all-time low when I saw the post. It was just like dozens of others about motherhood and parenting, but this one cut more deeply.

Please Notice the Mothers Whose Babies Will Never Quite Grow Up

Being a parent ain’t easy, some situations require a level head and quick thinking, especially when a child is having a medical emergency. In a viral video by TikTok user Kat Taylor, she shares with the viewers a scene she just witnessed in which a child had an asthma attack at a basketball game.

For those who aren’t aware, a spacer is basically a bigger tube that connects to the mouthpiece of an asthma inhaler (or puffer as Kat calls it). It makes it easier for the recipient to breathe in, although in this case, it wasn’t working for some reason.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
