Brown and her mother tried olive oil and vegetable oil, to no avail, and the local hospital could offer little help. She cut off her ponytail to reduce the weight, but the spray on her scalp continued to painfully tighten and harden. On Feb. 10, she posted on Instagram, she was scheduled to fly to Los Angeles to meet with a plastic surgeon to undergo a procedure that costs more than $12,000 — which she got for free.
Instagrammer Matt Shirley of Los Angeles conducted an informal survey among his

Parking spots are hard to come by in the snowy West Ridge neighbor- hood of Chicago, and resident Adam Selzer has become the talk of the town for the nov- el method he’s using to save his spot — freezing pairs of pants and standing them up on the street like traffic cones, WBBM-TV reported.

“Soak a pair, put outside. In about 20 minutes you can form them to shape, and in an- other 20 they’re solid,” Selzer posted on Twitter.

Where’d My AirPod Go?
Bradford Gauthier of Worcester, Massachusetts, had a bit of trouble swallowing when he woke up on Feb. 2, but he went about his day after drinking some water. Later, “I tried to drink a glass of water again and couldn’t,” he said, and that’s when he realized one of the AirPods he sleeps with at night was missing and “felt a distinct blockage in the center of my chest,” he said.
“I figured ... I could just wash it out,” she told WD- SU-TV, but “it didn’t.”
more than 300,000 followers, asking them which state they hate most, Asbury Park Press reported Jan. 21, and from the 2,500 responses, he de- termined that, among the ex- pected regional rivalries, New Jersey hates every other state and Florida hates ... Florida. The Sunshine State was the only one to choose itself as most-hated, with four-fifths of respondents agreeing.
KVEO reported that it didn’t take doctors in the emergency room long to dis- cover the AirPod lodged in Gauthier’s esophagus. An emergency endoscopy re- moved it, and Gauthier went home feeling much better.
“I live in Florida, have my whole life, and would not hes- itate to unironically put that as my answer,” one survey par- ticipant wrote.
