Days of Our Lives Recap: Brady's Vote Decides The Fate of University Hospital
Days of Our Lives Recap: Brady's Vote Decides The Fate of University Hospital originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's Days of Our Lives recap: University Hospital – Lobby: Brady arrives and Kayla tells him there's no change in John's condition. She says if anyone can recover from these injuries, it's John Black. He asks to go see his father, but Kayla says Marlena is in with him now. Brady asks about Bo and Kayla says she thinks he is slowly getting better. Brady shifts and discusses the board meeting. Kayla says it's ultimately important to so many people. Brady isn't certain who he should vote for and Kayla feels the same. Just then, Brady gets a call from Kristen and Kayla heads off to check on her patients. Kristen says Rachel isn't feeling well and wants to bring her into the hospital. Brady says he's already there. Kristen says she doesn't think there is anything wrong physically. She says she thinks they have a lot to discuss. Salem PD – Jada's Office: Jada sends Shawn Douglas a text when Belle arrives to review a couple of cases. Jada tells her the entire station is pulling for her father. She asks about Shawn and wonders if Belle has heard from him. Belle says she hasn't heard from him and Jada mentions he called in sick. However, she doesn't really believe he's ill. Belle explains about Bo's condition and how Shawn Douglas was trying to get a dose of the Sepsis drug to help save his life. Belle says she is bound by client-attorney privilege but guesses he didn't want to incriminate Jada. She realizes this is all connected to the meth lab explosion. Belle doesn't provide any details but does say Shawn D was there. Belle shifts back to work and tells Jada she wants to nail the person who beat up Philip. Jada is on board and says she already spoke to Kate. Belle notes the Salem Inn is being cagey about the CCTV footage. She says she spoke to someone who saw Xander in the square at that time, but she would rather pull the hotel's footage. They shift to discussing EJ's shooting. Belle can't believe there's no update on Ava but notes she doesn't ever stay away from Salem for too long (Come home, Ava!). Jada says she no longer thinks Ava is the culprit. Belle agrees that Ava is dangerous but would never be this sloppy. DiMera Mansion – Living Room: Rachel tells Kristen she came downstairs the night of the shooting and saw Johnny, with a gun, fighting with EJ. Kristen wonders if it was just a dream but Rachel insists it was real-life. Kristen wonders why she hid the information and Rachel says she didn't want to get Johnny in trouble. Further, he got what he deserved. Kristen apologizes for putting that awful thought in her head. Rachel says he sent her grandmother away. Kristen pushes for even more details and Rachel says she didn't see Johnny shoot her uncle. She got scared and ran upstairs. Rachel says she went back to sleep and doesn't remember hearing a gunshot. Kristen tells her daughter to keep her story to herself so they don't get Johnny in trouble. Rachel says she feels even worse than she did before. Horton Square: Chad rushes over and helps EJ off the ground. EJ says he tripped but Chad pushes for more details. EJ explains about Johnny and Chad says he's sorry for what's happening between the two. Just then, EJ flashes back to the gunshot and says he deserves everything he's getting. Chad offers to speak with Johnny but EJ thinks it won't do any good. Chad asks about the Sepsis drug and asks EJ if he had anything to do with the theft. EJ isn't thrilled with the accusation but swears on their father's name he had nothing to do with stealing the drugs. Further, he had nothing to do with beating up Philip. EJ says they have to band together as being distracted allowed Titan to swoop in and take over DiMera Enterprises. With that, EJ says Chad needs to vote for him at today's board meeting. He thinks the hospital will bring their family a new and better chapter. Chad says his brother can count on him. Kiriakis Mansion – Living Room: Julie arrives with EJ and Xander's proposals for buying University Hospital so they can review them. Julie stops and wonders about Victor's missing portrait. Maggie says Xander happened. Julie wrongfully assumes Xander tossed the portrait because it originated with Konstantin. Maggie says Xander's anger was directed with Victor and all the baggage that comes with being his son. Julie thinks his reaction is rich and had no right to steal the portrait. Julie can't believe when she hears Xander attacked Philip. Maggie says he didn't confess but also didn't deny it. Further, Sarah thinks their marriage is over. Julie feels sorry for Sarah, but Maggie says, if he is responsible, she doesn't want Xander anywhere near her family. They both realize they have an impossible choice to make about the sale of the hospital. Brady Pub: Xander is leaving Sarah yet another voicemail and says she will not keep him from his daughter. Xander gets a call and says he's looking for help with a custody case and needs someone who will fight dirty. With that, he exits the building. University Hospital – Lobby: Maggie and Julie arrive and speak with Kayla about the board meeting vote. Julie wishes there was another option, but Kayla says they are stuck with either EJ or Xander. Julie knows Tom Horton wouldn't stand for 'any of this crap.' Kayla says she has a plan, just as Xander walks up and asks about Sarah. Kayla says she can't discuss staff scheduling with outside parties. Before he can go off on her, Maggie says that all parties present know exactly who Xander is and what he's done. He stands down but says he won't be an outside party after he owns the hospital. Just then, EJ and Chad arrive saying not so fast. Maggie thanks Kayla and Julie for having her back and they say they are always in her corner. Julie asks Kayla about her aforementioned plan. She worked it out with the board to make sure the votes are anonymous, meaning neither EJ nor Xander will have any clue whom to blame when one of them loses. University Hospital – Exam Room: Brady arrives to see Rachel and Kristen. Rachel heads off to get some water leaving her parents time to chat. Kristen says she informed their daughter about her Grandpa John, which she thinks was the impetus for her illness. She informs Brady about Rachel seeing Johnny with a gun, fighting with EJ the night of the shooting. Kristen thinks holding that secret is what's caused her to be ill. Brady thinks they have to go to the police, but Kristen says she's unwilling to put their daughter through such an ordeal. She also notes how they are still being watched by Child Protective Services. They go back and forth for a while when Brady realizes he needs to get to the board meeting. Kristen asks him to promise to keep quiet and he agrees, for now. University Hospital – Lobby: Belle arrives at the hospital and runs into EJ. He says he was going to check in on John but thought better of upsetting Marlena. He says how sorry he is and wishes he could be half the father John is. Belle thinks it's the nicest thing he's ever said about her father. Belle and EJ embrace when Brady arrives filled with piss and vinegar. Brady thinks EJ is out of line for being around any member of his family with how much grief and heartache he has perpetrated on them. Belle tries to hush up her brother, but he pays no attention. Endings Belle begs Brady not to cause a scene on this very day. Brady agrees they need to focus on their father. Maggie, Kayla and Julie return from voting and run into Chad. Kayla says Brady's vote is the only one unaccounted for. Julie thinks the result of the vote is a lose-lose situation, no matter what. EJ tells Brady he didn't mean to intrude on his family's pain. He notes he checked in with Sydney who said their plane to Salem was grounded. Just then, Kayla arrives saying he needs to get to voting. EJ assumes Brady is going to vote for Xander. Just then, Xander arrives, and Kayla notes the voting is anonymous so no one can be intimidated nor retaliated against. With that, Kayla pulls Brady to the side and tells him the vote is tied and he is the deciding vote. Rachel returns to the exam room and tells her mother her exam with Sarah went quite well. Sarah told her that her stomach hurts when she gets upset, too. Rachel says she feels much better. In addition, Sarah gave her a birthday gift. Rachel wonders how Sarah knows it's her birthday. Kristen avoids the topic and says it must be in her chart (For those who don't know, there was a baby switch involving Kristen and Sarah). Julie and Maggie decide to head down to the cafeteria. Just then, Jada arrives and places Xander under arrest for Philip's assault. She cuffs him in front of God and everyone Keep checking back for the latest Days of Our Lives recaps!

My era of raising kids? It's a wrap
"I still have no clue what I'm doing." That was the first sentence I wrote when my FLORIDA TODAY parenting column, Momsense, was introduced to readers in April 2013. My kids, Kristen and Jacob, were 10 and 6. I was knee-deep in raising two kids, working full time and trying to maintain some modicum of grace, even in the midst of a divorce. My goal back then was to write about current parenting issues and share honestly about my experience parenting — the ugly parts and all. And to make others laugh and realize they're not alone. There were the parties that no one liked to RSVP to, leaving me with loads of leftover birthday cake. The shopping trips that almost escalated into 'Code Adams' because someone thought it would be fun to launch into a surprise game of hide and seek at Kohl's. Toddler faceplants during moments of social discomfort. Dealing with the misery of lice. The sudden calls from your little one in the bathroom, yelling, "Can someone wipe my butt?" I remember fantasizing about the day I didn't have to bring a stroller or diaper bag wherever I went. I dreamed of the kids being old enough to hang out for a few hours at home when I went out with friends. Twelve years later, part of me feels like I still don't know what I'm doing. Yet I feel this incredible urge to share this journey with those of you starting out or still in the middle of it. And please listen to me. Embrace every single moment. Even the tough ones. Because one day, you'll wish you could go back. You'll miss sneaking into your tiny baby's room just to watch her sleep. You'll even miss dropping your son off at VPK for the first time and praying he won't think you abandoned him. You'd do anything to have them beg you to read 'Goodnight Moon' one more time before bed. But you can't. This parenting thing never ends. It just changes shape. Drastically. Maybe you're thinking of starting a family. Or you're smack0\-dab in the middle of child-rearing and not so sure how much longer your patience can last — or if you can continue to survive on four hours of sleep a night. Our babies grow up. They stop puking on our favorite shirts. Diaper blowouts in the middle of a flight are a thing of the past. They stop begging you for the latest video game. They learn to drive. They figure out what they're good at. They have their own dreams, goals and plans. And you go from needing to rent a U-Haul every August to shuffle belongings from one college apartment to the next to not really being needed at all. They say it goes fast. You may not believe it now, but it does. My daughter just graduated college. My son, high school. And I, apparently, just graduated to the 5-0 club, leaving me wondering about menopause and awaiting a hip replacement in July. Who am I now? What am I? I'm still figuring that part out. But I know this for sure — I am one proud mom, even if my role in my kids' lives has changed. My ex and I have been able to co-parent successfully. And despite living in two households, welcoming a new stepdad and experiencing the grueling pain of losing their amazing bonus mom to breast cancer four years ago, my kids have somehow turned out to be amazing humans. They've each found their "thing" – and are excelling at it. My children even set me straight more than five years ago when I was drinking heavily at nights and on the weekends. I quit after my son begged me to, tears in his eyes. So, I didn't just teach them about life. They taught me, too. Parenting never ends. I have loved these two since the moment they were conceived. I always will. I will never stop worrying about them until I take my last breath. But that's the unofficial contract you sign when you become a parent. You pretty much live with a piece of your heart outside of your body. It's the hardest job in the world. But the very best one. As the school year closes and if you're facing a houseful of bored kids for the next few months, here's my final piece of Momsense. Take a memorable trip with no set agenda and make some special memories. Laugh every chance you can. Be a sounding board for fellow moms who get it. And remember this. If you're about to have a bad parenting moment, it's perfectly acceptable to lock yourself in your bathroom and scream into a pillow. Not that I would know.

US woman shares why she prefers Indian milk over American milk after moving to India: ‘India is superior'
An American woman living in India has caught the attention of social media users after sharing a video comparing milk varieties in the United States and India — and explaining why she now prefers the Indian version. Kristen Fischer, who moved to India with her husband in 2021, has been documenting her life and cross-cultural discoveries through social media. In one of her recent Instagram videos, she explored the surprising differences in milk between the two nations — a staple she never thought varied so significantly. (Also read: US woman explains why she believes raising kids in India is better than in the US) Kristen wrote in the caption of the video, 'I love creamy milk as much as the next person. Yet, in America, people tend to prefer low-fat options over rich taste.' Referring to Indian culinary practices, she added, 'This is where India is superior. They know how to make a good chai or dessert using full cream milk to get the best flavour.' Kristen noted that milk is far more central to Indian cuisine than what she experienced in the US. 'Did you know India is the world's largest consumer of milk, accounting for more than 25 per cent of global milk production?' she said. 'It's used in a lot of dishes here. What I find interesting are the differences between the milk I used to buy in America and the milk I buy in India,' she explained. In the US, she said, milk options typically include skimmed (0% fat), one per cent, two per cent, and whole milk (about 3.5% fat). In contrast, Indian milk is often richer. 'Double-toned milk has about 1 per cent fat, toned milk has 3 per cent, standardised milk comes with around 4.5 per cent fat, and full cream milk goes up to 6 per cent,' she explained. Kristen said that Indians generally seem to prefer creamier milk. 'I love milk in India. I always thought it was better here and could never figure out why. Now I realise it's because of the higher cream content,' she wrote in the video's caption. She also noted, 'Now, of course, I realise that there are way more varieties of milk than this. I just was highlighting some of the most common varieties to simplify the explanation.' Watch the clip here: A post shared by Kristen Fischer (@kristenfischer3) The video sparked a wave of comments from viewers, many echoing her sentiments and sharing their own experiences. One user wrote, 'Totally agree — Indian milk tastes so much better, especially in chai!' Another commented, 'I didn't know milk could vary so much between countries. This was eye-opening.' A third added, 'Yes! I miss Indian full cream milk so much since moving to Canada.' (Also read: American mom living in India names 10 things she wishes US had: 'First time I ever…') Others praised Kristen for her observational content. 'Love how you always highlight small but meaningful cultural differences,' said one viewer. Another chimed in, 'Never realised how lucky we are in India with our dairy — thank you for this perspective!' Meanwhile, one humorous comment read, 'And that's why Indian sweets are unbeatable — it's all in the milk!'
