View this post on Instagram @realnikkimckibbin was a fiery, funny lady who could sing the Hell out of a rock song with the same kind of ease and command she lovingly used to cut you with her twangy Southern wit. ? ? Even in our 20’s when we were on American Idol together I could tell that she’d had a challenging life, and that not that many people had been kind to her along the way...? ? ...but I’ll never forget the day that her idol, Stevie Nicks, sent her flowers with a card that said “You are the Gypsy that I was...”. Nikki was on cloud nine and the joy and excitement that radiated from her was infectious. After the kind of emotional beating she took at the hands of the masses, she deserved to feel good about herself, even for a little while. ? ? Rest well, “Gypsy”...and thank you for the laughter, merciless teasing, strength, vulnerability, love and friendship you showed me during our time together in the spotlight. #rip #americanidol A post shared by Justin Guarini (@justinguarini) on Oct 31, 2020 at 3:48pm PDT The competition TV show released the following statement regarding McKibbin’s death:“Nikki McKibbin was an incredible talent and we are deeply saddened by the news of her passing.

An 11-year-old boy who asked the White House if he could mow the property's lawn was granted his wish Friday.PHOTOS: 11-year-old cuts White House grass after writing to President TrumpFrank Giaccio told CNN's "New Day" he even waived his usual fee for President Donald Trump -- even though anchor Alisyn Camerota noted that the billionaire chief executive could probably afford the fee."I always wanted to do something big and so I was like, 'Why don't we just start here?' This seems like the perfect example," Frank, of Falls Church, Virginia, told Camerota.In August, Frank wrote a letter to the President asking if he could be allowed to put his landscaping skills to good use for the White House. In his letter -- read aloud at a briefing by press secretary Sarah Sanders -- he even offered to bring extra fuel and charged batteries."I would like to show the nation what young people like me are ready for," Frank wrote at the time.Asked on Friday why he waived his fee, Frank replied, "My dad said, 'Just do it for free,' and I was like, 'Fine,' and that's where it's gonna go."Beyond that, he wasn't able to tell Camerota what type of mowing implements the White House staff would supply him with.But Sanders offered Twitter audience a look at the mower Frank was using, adding that he was "doing a great job."The President later joined Frank as he trimmed the Rose Garden's grass.Trump even congratulated Frank on a job well done by giving him a high five, CBS's Mark Knoller tweeted.After his morning of hard work, Frank joined Sanders in the press briefing room, taking care to thank his father, Sanders, Trump "and a couple other people" from the podium.When reporters asked Frank if he'd mow their lawns, Sanders cut in."Make sure these guys pay you top dollar. Tell them if you're part of the press, you have a special deal that's double the normal rate," she joked. "I think that's pretty fair."Trump tweeted a video in the afternoon that recapped Frank's day, which included his appearance in the briefing room, meeting the President and Vice President Mike Pence and visiting the Oval Office.The-CNN-Wire 2131

Amy Andrle and her husband grow and sell recreational marijuana at their Denver dispensary L'Eagle."We're a true mom-and-pop shop,” Andrle says. “We have everything riding on this."This year, Colorado marijuana sales already passed billion. But it’s a valuable industry that comes with a lot of rules. "On any given day, you could be subject to people stopping in to see how you're conducting your business," the owner says.State and local governments keep a close eye on the industry. As it evolves, the regulations constantly change. With marijuana on ballots again in the upcoming election, Andrle hopes the "green rush" that hit Colorado continues to spread. “I think there's going to be an anti-federal prohibition at some point,” Andrle says. “I think consumers deserve that. They all should have a right to the same medicine if you look at it from a strict medicinal standpoint there are so many benefits that come to it. Why shouldn't every state have that?"Michigan and North Dakota are voting whether or not to legalize it in the upcoming election. Recreational use is already legal in nine states, as well as in Washington D.C. 1169

Anyone looking to buy an appliance may need to wait a while — due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some appliances are currently backordered for several weeks, even up to a few months.Tobie Stanger, a senior editor at Consumer Reports, says that anyone currently in the market for home appliances should be flexible."If you really need a refrigerator, they're out there, but you may not get what you want. So you'll have to be flexible," Stanger said.Consumer Reports has been around since 1936 and works to create a "fair" marketplace for all consumers. Stanger is an appliance expert and says some of the backlogs have to do with the pandemic and global factory shutdowns in the earlier part of the year.Add that to increased use of home appliances and increased demand, and you've got a problem."The companies are trying to ramp it up. They still, in sone cases, cannot find parts," Stanger said. "I have been told by one of our retailers that there are a couple of manufacturers that are not taking new orders until the end of September. So, they're trying, but it's a real grind."The Repair Association supports the aftermarket of "technology products" — anything with a computer chip. Gay Gordon-Byrne, the association's executive director, says the U.S. is overly reliant on China for all electronics."Everything from toys to tractors, refrigerators, cell phones, industrial controls — it is a massive problem if you can't fix that equipment," she said.Gordon-Byrne says that since things are backordered, there's a huge demand for repairs — which creates more problems."About 90% of the stuff on the market today can't be fixed — it either can't be fixed because it's made not to be fixed, or you can't fix it without the (original equipment manufacturer) because they want to make sure they're the only people that can fix it," Gordon-Byrne said.That means consumers are forced to buy new appliances — or, in this case, wait out the backlog.Gordon-Byrne suggests supporting independent, small appliance businesses and repair shops.Consumer Reports has similar advice."We recommend that, in addition to looking at the big box store, that you look at your local independent appliance dealer. They maybe have a reputation for not having as good a price, but we talked to many consumers who were able to get the independent to match the price," Stanger said.Matt Zieminski, a board member at The Repair Association, says not to ignore the refurbished option."There is actually a thriving refurbish effort right now where a repair shop will go around and pick up those units, take the effort to pick them up, clean them make them as good as new again and then resell them," Zieminski said.It may not be convenient, but the pandemic is forcing everyone to get creative and perhaps be patient to get what was once taken for granted. 2835
