What to do with an unruly teen...
Grandparents of an unruly Iowa teenager abandoned her at an Omaha hospital under Nebraska's safe-haven law. The teen is back with her granparents after their attempt to teach her a lesson was followed by guilt.

When you are 110 years old..
Ocala-born Onie Ponder says in an interview with weshtv
"I never thought I would ever reach the age of 110,"she was Born in 1898 during the Spanish American War .
"I never thought of age even when I was in my 60s and 70s. I was too busy driving around looking at what other people had done, and I never thought of myself ending this world’s trip,"
"Less than 5,000. Everybody who had children had tohave them at home. There was no hospital. We didn't have a horse and buggy or a car, we walked everywhere, and that's what I think has given me the stamina I have,"
“If we wanted to play we always had somebody around to help us. We didn't have to run a half a block away to have fun. We had our own yard and it was fenced in to keep the kids in and the cows out."
