What is wrong with people?!?! This is wrong on SO many levels. There is a dude on TikToc who shared a recipe for "NyQuil Chicken" as a remedy for when you are sick. How is this going viral? My head wants to explode...OK, let's break this down:

We know that N95 masks keep us the safest. Sadly, the scammers know that too. There's lot of shady people out there charging you for high quality masks that are nothing more than cheap knockoffs. This is how you spot a fake:

The controversial Roe vs. Wade decision could be overturned this year but in the meantime, Jersey Shore Congressman Chris Smith explains four key ways to help in curbing the amount of abortions taking place in New Jersey and the U.S.

Well this holiday break really hit us over the head with COVID didn't it? I'm not surprised that we have some more colleges and universities that have decided to not only require being fully vaccinated, but they are also requiring boosters to attend school in person...

I can’t believe this took so long but the CDC FINALLY came out and discussed the differences between those “cute” cloth masks (you know the ones with your favorite football team or fake LVs on them) and the real-deal surgical and KN95 masks. All masks are not created equal but try to explain that to someone who wants their mask to match their outfit.

This is a question that you don't have to answer...how many hot dogs do you think you have consumed in your lifetime at The WindMill? If you are in Brick you were no doubt topping that meal of champions off with a Coke Slurpee from the 7-Eleven right next door until that went bye bye.

OK, now I feel like Oprah when she gave our free cars to her studio audience..."you get a COVID test...you get a COVID test...and you get a COVID test!!!!!!!!!!! OK, it is certainly not as good as a free car but did you know that you get a free PCR COVID test mailed right to your home just because you live in New Jersey?

Some days your life changes in a big way. This is a story about one of those days.

WHAT...A...MESS! I'm talking about having to be away from the show for 7 days, not being able to take care of my family, and feeling horrendous all in addition to my greasy hair (shown above) while fighting COVID. This selfie was from my bed where I was quarantined...I tried my best to stay away from my husband and kids...they were negative and I wanted to keep it that way. Full disclosure...I had COVID BAD and it was all my fault.

There is not enough we can say, and not enough times we can say it. Jersey Shore nurses. you are the best!

Thankfully, a very wise nurse gave me some good advice after I got my second vaccination shot. She was ahead of the curve.
