AWESOME NEWS: A Pub 500 server in Mankato received an unexpected gift on Wednesday in the form of a massive tip. What started out as an average Wednesday for server Lexxi Pickell, was actually a plot for three ladies to pay it forward.

This afternoon, 3 Mankato Women gave a $500 tip to a waitress whose boss said it couldn't have been given to a better person. Randall Gimm has the story.

My husband says I’m “too sensitive,” but he’s not the one being side-eyed and insulted. I want just one holiday that doesn’t leave me stressed and resentful. If I stay home, I risk a big fight. If I go, I know I’ll hate every second. Would you fake festive cheer or finally draw a hard line?”

Proceeds from this campaign will directly support shelter animal care and enrichment.. While this raccoon gave us all a much-needed laugh, our officers handle hundreds...
