Watch: Texas chicken named world's oldest at the age of 14

Aug. 12 (UPI) -- A Texas woman's pet chicken was officially named the oldest in the world by Guinness World Records at the age of 14 years and 69 days old. Little Elm resident Sonya Hull said she hatched the chicken, Pearl, in her personal incubator on March 13, 2011. Guinness World Records confirmed Pearl's age on May 22, officially earning her the title of world's oldest living chicken. "She's defied all odds because most Easter-Egger Hens live an average of five to eight years," Hull told Guinness World Records. She said Pearl's mobility is limited now, so she spends most of her time in the family's laundry room. "She is welcome to come out into the living room, because she likes to watch TV when she hears it on," Hull said. Pearl is also fond of the family's elderly cat and new kitten. "She doesn't seem to mind the other animals, and the kitten will sometimes sit with her," Hull said. Hull said Pearl's egg production has slowed, but she laid one right after the family found out she was an official Guinness World Record-holder. The previous oldest chicken living, an Illinois pet named Peanut, died Dec. 25, 2023, at the age of 21 years and 238 days old.

Asking Eric: I would prefer visiting by phone and emails

Dear Eric: My wife recently passed away and I am doing OK. Several of my wife's senior children keep wanting to come and visit me. How do I politely say no without hurting their feelings? When they have come before, I was stressed as to how to entertain them for a week. They think I am being helped by their visit but actually I would prefer visiting by phone and emails. Any suggestions? – No Visitors Yet Dear Visitors: I'm sorry for the loss of your wife. This kind of grief – recent and all-encompassing – can be very hard and we have to take it day-by-day. Loved ones are often at a loss for how to meaningfully help. So, a kind directness is going to be your best friend here. Tell the kids the truth: you love them, but you don't have the capacity right now. Tell them that phone calls and emails are really what will help you the most right now. Sometimes people need to be given a little guidance for how to show up. They'll appreciate the nudge, and you'll all have better, less stressful (virtual) visits. Dear Eric: Our daughter-in-law recently turned 40, and they had a large party, to celebrate, at their house. We were not invited but were asked to take care of their dog while they went to a family camp for a week prior to the party. We have had a somewhat contentious relationship over the years, but I thought we were doing so much better recently. We both feel hurt at having been excluded. Do you think we should just let it go? We're feeling a bit used! – Not the Dogsitters Dear Dogsitters: I understand your hurt but, thinking generously, it's possible that your daughter-in-law considered asking you to help with their dog to be a way of including you. It certainly could read as a peace offering; she wouldn't ask someone she still has hard feelings about to care for a beloved pet. See if you can bring up your feelings in a way that doesn't feel charged. Think of it as a temperature check. When repairing a relationship, we often have to overcommunicate to make sure everyone is on the same page. Dear Eric: Even typing this makes me seem ungrateful, but here we go. My husband is a gift-giver; it is how he shows his love. He is also a collector of many things (as is the rest of his family) and I am not. I am a practical person by nature. Sometimes his gifts are too numerous or just impractical (for example, he gives me a gift every day of December as an 'Advent calendar'). The fact of the matter is, I don't need or want all these gifts despite them being thoughtful and sweet. This is not just a Christmas event, it is for my birthday, Valentine's Day, Easter, our anniversary, etc. I have tried saying that I don't need all these things, but he says that he enjoys looking for them and giving them to me. How can we strike a compromise? I don't want to hurt his feelings, and our marriage is strong aside from this issue. – Too Many Gifts Dear Gifts: It might seem to some to be a champagne problem, but too much champagne can be a real problem. There are two sides to gift giving: the intention and the impact. Generally, I think it does everyone a lot of good to weigh the intention more than the impact. Or, more simply, it's the thought that counts. But in your case the impact – an accumulation of thoughtful things that you don't need – is crowding out the intention. First, what's the way that you like to show and be shown love? That's important here. If there are ways to divert your husband's energies so that he still gets joy from giving but you also get joy from getting, it's a win all around. However, if you prefer acts of service, for instance, and he loves to have something tangible to wrap and bestow, you're still going to be a bit misaligned. In that case, you might try talking with him specifically about practicality. Sure, it might not initially light his heart up to go shopping for a new set of silverware or a replacement printer, for instance, he'll come around when he sees you actually using and enjoying the gifts. A conversation is a great place to start, but a list will also be helpful here. You might also suggest that he look for things that you both can enjoy together. Maybe it's a board game, maybe it's something less tangible, like an excursion or a date night. By broadening his concept of a good gift, while narrowing the definition of a good gift , you'll find yourselves aligned more.

43 Painfully Dumb — Yet Hilarious — Mistakes

This was always my worst fear as a I still laughed at this misfortune. Good thing Amazon hid the item for privacy! This might be my favorite-ever translation error. (They meant "jerk chicken.") Nice. *Snickers.* Their advertising could use some work. I'm so scatterbrained that I'm convinced I'd do this. Finally! A church for atheists! This is an occupational hazard of being named "Curt," I guess. To be fair, they did do what you asked for! Someone didn't think this one through. Where'd she get this shirt? Asking for a friend. And where'd he get this shirt? Asking for an enemy. At least Monopoly's nice and cool! ...Yeah, I don't see that either. I think she's trying to tell you something. Hm, haven't heard this Shakespeare quote! Or this Disney classic! It's common courtesy to let someone know when you're going to shoot them. This teacher also had a sense of humor. No, no, I liked the first one. Well, that got dark fast. Gee, with this NYC heat wave, I'd sure like a pop stickle! Perfect for pride month! At least he knows you have a loving relationship? I feel like they could've saved some space on this ad, but what do I know? What a great ad for a window sign company! Someone forgot this newspaper would be black and white. Why does a drill bit this size even exist? I wandered down aisle 14 by accident! I swear!!!! is missing here, but I can't quite put my finger on it... I'm sorry, heat is doing WHAT? Well, that's a memorable typo. Now that's a headline! a lot of questions. I have a feeling they'll be missing that soon. Hey, this works! Are you my dad? He still gets mail for "Mike Rotch." Hmm, that's not the Texas flag I remember! The Easter Bunny's seen better days. I mean, this looks pretty scary to me. And finally...I can't decide if this was a mistake or if they knew exactly what they were doing here.
