Now onto this weekās blogā¦Ā
Ā
In honor of this weekendās 148th Annual Kentucky Derby Horse Raceā¦ Get your hats ready, because we have a fantastic Main Story for you this week!Ā
For this weekās Main Story, we learn about the often forgotten Race Horse companionsā¦ animal friends who give these thoroughbreds a little something extra to become the champions they were born to be.
Ahhhh the Kentucky Derbyā¦ the Macyās Day Parade for Sun Hats
Would you wear that hat to the supermarket? NoĀ
But after a couple mimosasā¦ am I going to make a bet on a sport I know absolutely nothing about
ā¦ 100% Yes!Ā
While trainers and betters typically wait on the sidelines, or in the stands - watching their horses round the track, speaking with the jockeys and getting a feel for the track conditionsā¦Ā
This week, we learn about the heartwarming and unspoken heroes of this historical eventā¦ Barnyard Buddies
You see, Race horses are notoriously high-strung, so a companion to keep them calm helps them perform at their best
So for this weekās Main Story of the Week, letās take a moment to learn a little more about these animals and the incredible relationships they have formed with these race horses!Ā
We assure you - there is no better way to start your week, than to watch this video:Ā
Enough horsing aroundā¦ lets get into this weeks POTTY Picks!Ā

We all have experienced the joy that is the ābonus fryā...Ā
You know what we are talking aboutā¦ that moment, where you go to your local McDonaldsā¦Ā
Devourā¦ and we meanā¦ eating alone in your carā¦ devour - the french friesĀ
ā¦ And then, you peak in the bagā¦ just to make sureĀ
ā¦ And what do you knowā¦ at the bottom of the bagā¦ as though it was trying to escapeā¦ are 2 and Ā½ Bonus FriesĀ
Life is truly about the little thingsā¦Ā
So when Rob from Illinois began renovating his bathroomā¦ he was shocked to findā¦ his own version of a āBonus Fryā
... in the form of a 60 Year Old McDonalds mealā¦ fries included, that was within his Bathroom wall
Rob told Newsweek that he found the āforbidden fries,ā as one Reddit user described them when he was renovating his bathroom and kitchen.
āWhile removing a fixture in the bathroom I noticed a piece of cloth stuck behind plaster and pulled it out to show my wife,ā Rob explained.
āIt was balled up, and we could tell there was something else inside. When we unwrapped it and found the old McDonaldās bag and fries we were very surprised and grateful that is all we found hidden.ā
The real question we are all thinking isā¦ did he eat the fries? Would you?Ā

āYou will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do.ā
David Foster Wallace
