When we lose someone close, we feel overwhelmed. Sadness and grief settle in our heart and the thought of never seeing that person again can be unbearable.

However, despite these feelings and the urge to kiss the person whom we lost, a doctor from Moldova, Dr. Viktor Ivanovik, shares the risks associated with kissing someone deceased. His video, in which he discusses this highly sensitive topic, has caused a widespread discussion and debate on social media.

According to him, around nine hours after someone dies, the body starts to decompose, a natural process during which bacteria from the decomposing tissues start to surface.

These bacteria can pose health risks to individuals who come into contact with the body, particularly through kissing.

He says he’s perfectly aware that this practice is seen as a final farewell and sort of respect towards the deceased person, but he believes people should be aware of the risk they put themselves into by unknowingly expose themselves to harmful pathogens.

As expected, people’s opinions were divided.

“I kissed my father and would do it again, no matter the risk! He is my father!” one person commented. Others, however, appreciated his advice and wrote they would reconsider their decision of kissing someone who has died as a final goodbye no matter the emotional connection they had with the deceased.

Dr. Ivanovik emphasized the issue of one’s sense of smell being affected if kissing someone who passed away.

The body’s decomposition can produce an unpleasant odor that might remain in one’s memory longer than expected. Some people report a significant change in their sense of smell and taste after such an act, adding another layer of complexity to the already emotional farewell experience.

“Honestly, I don’t think anyone can resist not kissing their parent on the hand or forehead one last time. I kissed my father’s hand for the last time,” a follower commented.

Arts and crafts offer plenty of benefits that go beyond the creation of physical objects. It is a way of expressing our creativity, imagination, and self-expression. At the same time, they are a great mean of relieving stress and anxiety and improving our overall well-being.

At the same time, arts and crafts serve the purpose of educational tools.

Nowadays, there are plenty of materials and techniques people use in order to create something from scratch. Whether it is knitting, painting, sculpting, woodworking, or working with ready made materials, the opportunities to express yourself creatively are endless.

In the past, these options were rather limited but people still found ways of creating beautiful and functional items using what they had.

Among the rest, they used dolly pegs, charming figures that carry an irresistible allure that seems to withstand the test of time.

Even in modern times, these wooden figures hold a special place in many people’s homes.

Dolly pegs are way more than laundry tools. In fact, they serve as a canvas for creativity and DIY projects. Their versatility allows them to be transformed into personally customized items with little effort.

With just some paint, fabric, and creativity, dolly pegs can be transformed into distinctive ornaments, fridge magnets, or delightful desk accessories. This crafting process provides a cost-effective way to explore art, sparks creativity, and offers a gratifying means of artistic expression.

They can also be used as fun clips for papers, photos, or artwork, or as organizers for cables, cords, or other small items.

Letting children play with them and decorate them the way they want can lead to a fun time and a nice activity that would allow them to spend some quality time away from the screen.

All in all, these seemingly ordinary clothespins can be awesome craft supplies.

Have you ever decorated any yourself?

A group of men gather in the mountains to sing ‘You Raise Me Up’—their performance will give you chills

“Sometimes, music is the only medicine the heart and soul need.” I remember the times when music helped me heal and I still find comfort in the tune and the lyrics of my favorite piece of music.

For many, this mood-changing song is “You Raise Me Up” and if you belong to this group, we have some great news for you.

BYU Vocal Point performed a mesmerizing rendition of this track and people say it’s the best they’ve heard so far. 

You will love it even more if you are a fan of acappella performances that let you enjoy the pureness of the singer’s voice. 

The Vocal Point ensemble has been part of the music scene for almost 30 years. It was founded by the students at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. It consists of nine changing members who have released numerous albums, had many concerts, and earned awards throughout the years. 

Speaking of what they do best, the group says, “With inventive arrangements, humor, and remarkable vocal percussion, Vocal Point continually invigorates audiences and generates fans.” Currently, more than 520K people follow them on their YouTube channel. 

Their rendition of Josh Groban’s song along with the video which depicts a mesmerizing scenery has been seen more than 10 million times. 

Listening to them sing takes me to a whole new world, and it makes me re-play the video over and over again. I am certain it will trigger the same emotions at other people as well.

It starts with Jantzen Dalley excelling the opening line before two other members of the group join in. 

Some of the comments people left are, “Halfway through the first sentence, I was tearing up instantly :$ This is so beautiful! ❤”

The vocals of all the nine singers blend in a flawless harmony, and having one member beatboxing only adds to the overall experience. 

Though this ever lasting song was originally composed by the Irish-Norwegian duo Rolf Lovland of Secret Garden and Brendan Graham, and performed by Brian Kennedy, it’s Groban’s 2003 rendition that put it under the limelight again. 

Performed by more than 125 artists so far, “You Raise Me Up” is one of the songs with most covers done. 

As the song progresses, more singers join in. At this point, the performance resembles a choir of angels that give us goosebumps.

This song, along with the video, do raise us up. 

“I love this song so much!! We can all be the person to lift someone else up. Go out today and try to raise someone else up!😄”

Make sure you check this cover out! It’s worth every second of your time.

Found this at a yard sale but I have no idea what it is – Thoughts?

If you want to be kinder to the environment, you may consider washing your clothes by hand every once in a while.

However, not using the washing machine for washing clothes could be time consuming and hard, so there are other alternatives, such as the hand laundry machine. These machines provide the same effect like the electric washing machines but use less water and no electricity. With minimal physical effort, you can reduce the chores on laundry day and save some money, too! On top of that, the hand laundry machines are way less expensive than the electric ones.

Jawad Ahmed, a laundry merchant at The Home Depot explains that “Using a portable washing machine doesn’t have to mean compromising.” Speaking to The Spruse, he added that “With just a smaller load capacity, a compact washer can penetrate deep into fabrics to eliminate dirt and odors, saving you water and energy with the same outstanding cleaning performance as a regular-sized washer.”

What’s great about these machines is that they are portable and smaller in size so you can place them anywhere you want when you don’t use them.

Would you consider giving it a try?

Backing into parking spaces: Yes or No?

By

When a person starts taking driving lessons for the first time, it may seem like an overwhelming and nerve-wracking experience, as they are suddenly tasked with mastering multiple skills at once, such as steering, braking, accelerating, and observing the road, all while maintaining awareness of their surroundings.

However, what most new drivers find hardest of all is the act of parking.

Well, the parking can indeed be a challenging task, unless you’ve done it plenty of times over the years and are an experienced driver.

Some of the challenges drivers come across when it comes to parking their vehicle are the narrow parking spots, busy parking lots, poor visibility due to weather conditions, blind spots, or the lack of parking sensors, and other distractions.

Reverse parking, a common driving practice that involves positioning a vehicle into a parking spot by reversing into, is considered tough by many, and that is the reason why many people avoid it and urge others to do the same.

For one, this form of parking requires plenty of practice, and is also time consuming. If the vehicle has significant blind spots, backing into a space can be more challenging and demand additional care.

Of course, there are also advantages that go with backing into parking spaces.

If your vehicle is parked in reverse, it would be much easier to drive when exiting because you will have better visibility of the oncoming traffic. Having the rear of the car accessible can make it more convenient to load and unload items from the trunk.

Backing into a space lowers the chances of hitting objects or other vehicles because you have a clearer view of their surroundings when entering the space.

Tell us what you think of this? How do you park your car?

Fishermen noticed a glimmering object by a creek, marking the beginning of what would become a ‘miracle’

By
Monica Pop
-

With their wives away, Mario Garcia and his son-in-law, Nivardo De La Torre, decided to spend some time scouting fishing spots in Indiana. What they looked forward to was a day of fun, but they ended up saving a man’s life when they stumbled upon his wrecked vehicle beneath an Interstate 94 bridge in the city of Portage. At first, they were convinced the man was dead because of the severity of his injuries, but they soon realized he was still alive despite the mangled wreckage.

Authorities believe the man, who was later identified as 27-year-old Matthew R. Reum, lost control of his vehicle while traveling westbound on Interstate 94, causing the car to veer off the road, miss a guardrail, and go airborne before landing in the creek.

The vehicle rolled over multiple times and ended up hidden from the interstate, which likely played a role in the delay of his rescue.

Indiana State Police

Reum, who was disoriented and unable to recall how long he had been trapped, was airlifted to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. Rescuers from local fire departments faced significant challenges reaching the crash site due to its remote location along Salt Creek, which is surrounded by moving water and requires a hike to access.

“His vehicle missed that guardrail, so he’s driving on the grass shoulder before he goes airborne,” Sgt. Glen Fifield, a spokesperson for the Indiana State Police, said. “His vehicle goes down into the creek, where he rolls several times. It rolled underneath the bridge.”

“You could barely tell what it was,” Garcia said. “It was mangled completely.”

WBBM

By the time Garcia and Delatorre found him, Reum “had almost lost all hope because nobody was there,” Garcia said the driver told him.

“He was alive and he was very happy to see us,” Garcia added. “I’ve never seen relief like that.”

The mild weather, with temperatures reaching the high 50s, helped make the discovery possible and probably contributed to Reum’s survival.

GoFundMe

“Quite frankly, it’s a miracle that he’s alive in this weather. We’ve been lucky enough during this Christmas season – our temperatures, as you know, are above normal,” Fifield said. “So that was working in this individual’s favor.”

State police said, “The will to survive this crash was nothing short of extraordinary as it was also determined that Mr. Reum was able to drink rain water for hydration in order to survive for such a long period of time while being exposed to the elements.”
