Here's What to Do When You Run Into Someone Who Isn't Social Distancing
With stay-at-home orders relaxing and more and more places starting to re-open, you're bound to run into people who aren't taking the social distancing guidelines as seriously as they should. Here are four tips on how to handle it . . .
Speak up. Especially if you're in a higher-risk group for the virus. If you're not able to move out of the way to avoid the person, try asking them to take a few steps back . . . and mention that it's because you'd like BOTH of you to stay safe.
Don't get angry. Shouting at someone isn't going to get them to change their behavior. So if you DO speak up, keep it cool and respectful.
Don't assume you know why someone isn't following the guidelines. Give the person the benefit of the doubt, especially since the guidance on social distancing and face masks has changed over time. And some people aren't able to wear face masks for legitimate health reasons, like if they have breathing problems or are extra sensitive to touch and textures.
Thank people who DO practice good social distancing. It reinforces their effort and helps YOU have a more positive mindset by focusing on the good instead of the bad.

Kanye West ‘neediest, moodiest and worst tipper’ of celeb bodyguard’s clients
‘Battlefield Earth’ writer says 'Cats' is the new worst movie ever
Arrest warrants are out for New York Giants cornerback DeAndre Baker and Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar in an armed robbery investigation.
CARRIE FISHER's family supposedly doesn't want her likeness used in "Star Wars" again.
And now, there's going to be a TV mini-series about the behind-the-scenes drama on the set of "The View".
(22:45) KL, Have you ever milked the cucumber?
The New Trend Is . . . Milking Cucumbers?
Apparently, there's a new trend from TikTok going around where people are MILKING CUCUMBERS.
Here's what that means. You cut the end off of a cucumber, then start rubbing it in a circular motion against the area of the cucumber you just cut it from. And as you do it, white stuff starts coming out of the edges of the cucumber. Then you brush off that stuff and eat the cucumber . . . and, believe it or not, it TASTES BETTER.
Why? Apparently, that white stuff is an organic compound called cucurbitacin, and it causes the bitterness you sometimes get in cucumber slices. So by "milking" your cucumber, it can taste fresher and less bitter.

America now has its OWN World War Two vet walking for charity. Captain Tom Moore raised millions in the U.K. last month. Now a 99-year-old in Oregon named Bud Lewis is doing it. He's raising money for a charity called the Sunshine Division by walking 100 laps around a track before his 100th birthday in August.
We could cut the time it takes to test a vaccine by a few months if 100 people are willing to get the trial version AND be infected with the virus. So a site called "1 Day Sooner" is letting people sign up. And over 20 THOUSAND have already applied.
A 7-year-old in Wisconsin was planning a lemonade stand before everything shut down. So she launched a virtual one with coupons, and it's raising TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars for charity. Enough to feed over 600 families a week.
A guy in Belgium who has access to a crane has been taking it to nursing homes, so people can visit family members at their windows on high floors. He was driving by a home recently . . . saw a guy yelling up to his mom from the sidewalk . . . and realized he could help.
Someone made a site called IsolationCreations.org to celebrate all the creative stuff people have done in lockdown. Like music and art projects.
All next week, Krispy Kreme is congratulating 2020 graduates by giving them free donuts. If you show up in your cap and gown, or something that says "Class of 2020" on it, you get a dozen donuts free.
