Issues with our vehicles usually mean spending a bunch of money on repairs. This is the reason why most of us try to locate the problem ourselves before asking from a professional to handle it.
If the issue is minor, we can save money, and that’s probably the main reason why we don’t call a mechanic right away.
Unfortunately, such a decision could cost one woman her life.
Alon Abare experienced horrific injuries one day after she made a choice to check on her car herself. This mother of four was scalped after her hair was caught under a fan belt as she leaned into the hood to check for a mechanical problem.
She felt excruciating pain and started screaming as hard as she could, still unaware of what had happened to her.
Luckily, her children heard her cries for help and acted very quickly, ending up saving their mother’s life.
Abare’s son Sam turned off the engine and her daughter Logan caught her hair free with scissors.
“They were focused, and they were driven by… you know, I think they wanted to save their mom,” Abare told Inside Edition.
She was lucky she was still alive, but her recovery has been a long and a painful one. She incurred outrageous medical expenses as a result of the incident, but the worst of all was the though that her children could be left without a mother.
Abare is now trying to warn women of the dangers of similar situations.
One of the most important things to do when checking on your car is to make sure you pull your hair back.
We wish Abare recovers completely.

Truth be told, despite the age limit of 21 for consuming alcoholic beverages, many students are curious to have a drink or two even before that. This is one of the reasons why many of them try to smuggle alcohol on their prom night although they are perfectly aware they are not supposed to.
So how can someone get away with bringing in alcohol at school?
A girl named Eleanor managed to do this in a very wise manner. Well, it’s not that we advice any minor to do so, but her clever idea did take the Internet by storm.

Namely, she and a couple of other friends took a photo of themselves, and Eleanor, believe it or not, had a hip flask “hidden” in plain sight and yet, no one was able to notice it.
What she did was use the huge flask as a detail to her overall looks and had it in her hands instead of a clutch bag. As the flask was a metallic one, it did resemble a woman’s bag.
What’s most, her intention of smuggling alcohol at school wouldn’t be exposed if she hadn’t exposed herself.

With the passing of Queen Elizabeth, Britain, and the world, lost a much loved monarch.
Besides being the head of the British throne for over 70 years, the late Queen was also a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
Kate and William’s children, especially Prince George and Princess Charlotte, had a hard time accepting that their dear great-grandmother won’t be part of their lives any longer.

Considering their age and the fact they both understand what it means when someone passes away, the Prince and Princess of Wales decided to let George and Charlotte attend the Queen’s funeral. Prince Louis, the youngest of the siblings, wasn’t in attendance.
The media reported that it was Kate Middleton who told her children about the Queen’s passing before they could hear it from someone else.
“She gently told George, Charlotte, and Louis about Elizabeth’s passing at Windsor prior to the official announcement. She wanted them to hear the tragic news directly from her to ease the blow,” a royal insider reported, as per Closer Weekly.
“Kate said that Elizabeth is in heaven with Prince Philip. There were lots of tears and hugs, naturally. The children are upset.”

The relationship between Queen Elizabeth and Prince George had always been a very special one. When he was born on July 22, 2013, at St Mary’s Hospital in London, the Queen visited him two days later and said she was “thrilled” to meet him.
For one, many believe that George inherited certain personality traits from his great-grandmother, one of which is being shy.
However, as the Queen managed to get past this characteristic of hers over the years, she also tried to help George do the same.

As Kate and William met with the Queen several times a week, their children got to spend time with her as well. George even had a super sweet nickname for his great-grandmother.
“George is only two-and-a-half and he calls her ‘Gan-Gan.’ She always leaves a little gift or something in their room when we go and stay and that just shows her love for her family,” Kate said back in the day, adding how the Queen was a great support to her.
“She’s been very generous in not being forceful at all and in any of her views, but I feel she’s been there, a gentle guidance really for me,” the Princes added.

During the celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, which marked her 70 years of reign, longer than any other British monarch, she and George shared a cute little moment which caught the attention of many. As the royal family appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony and the Queen waived to the gathered crowd while they chanted God Save the Queen, she turned to George and said something to him that had both of them smiling.
According to lip reader John Cassidy, she told her grandson, surprised, “Ah, brilliant! I didn’t know,” as airplanes had striped the sky red, white, and blue with smoke.

On the first anniversary of the Queen’s death, royal family members paid tribute to the late Queen through social media as well as church services, with William and Kate visiting St David’s Cathedral.
The Prince and Princess of Wales shared a statement on the anniversary on their Instagram account.
“Today we remember the extraordinary life and legacy of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth. We all miss you. W&C.”
One of the photos included Queen Elizabeth with her beloved corgis, and another one, which is dearest to the heart of the members of the royalty, showed the Queen surrounded by her great-grandchildren and grandchildren at Balmoral last summer. The photo was taken by Kate.
In the photograph, Queen Elizabeth is dressed in one of her signature tartan skirts, sitting in the center of the sofa in her living room at her beloved Scottish estate. On the couch with her is nine-year-old Mia Tindall, the eldest child of Zara and Mike Tindall, and in her lap is her two-year-old brother, Lucas.
On the Queen’s other side sits Peter and Autumn Phillip’s eldest daughter, 12-year-old Savannah Phillips. She is the eldest great-grandchild of the Queen.
Behind the couch are Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, as well as Lena Tindall, Isla Phillips, and the Queen’s youngest grandchildren, Kady Louis Windsor and younger brother James, the Earl of Wessex.
Although most of late Queen Elizabeth’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren are featured on the beautiful photo, four of them are missing, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s son August, and Princess Beatrice’s daughter, Sienna.
This will definitely remain a moment that the young members of the family, including Prince George, will cherish forever.

The love story of Hollywood heartthrob Pierce Brosnan and his wife of over two decades, Keely Smith, is yet another reminder that celebrity people do stay together and their marriages do last.
Brosnan loves reminding Keely what she means to him.
The couple say the secret to their marriage and everlasting love is that no matter how hectic his work schedule is or how much she’s busy, they always find way to spend quality one-on-one time together.
The actor has fallen for Kelly from the moment he laid eyes on her at a Mexican bar in 1992. They started dating two years later and tied the knot after seven years. He knew something was different about her. In an interview with The Independent, the former James Bond star revealed why he was drawn to Keely in the first place.
“I love her vitality, her passion. She has this strength that I wouldn’t be able to live without. When Keely looks at me, I go weak.”
On September 25, Kelly celebrated her 60th birthday and Brosnan presented her with a gift that made fans gush of his devotion to her.
“Sixty roses for my brown eyed girl on her 60th birthday,” he captioned a photo of the couple standing in front of a gorgeous bouquet of roses.
“Forever happy and blessed was I to be sitting there when you walked around the corner early one morning in Cabo San Lucas @keelyshayebrosnan,” he added.
For their 22nd wedding anniversary, Keely shared a number of images from their Irish wedding ceremony on social media.
“Happy Anniversary @piercebrosnanofficial. Thank you for always being up for this adventure called life,” she wrote.
Brosnan was first married to Australian actress Casandra Harris who tragically died of ovarian cancer back in 1991. Sadly, his daughter would lose her life due to the same illness. The Mrs. Doubtfire star had one child with her, but adopted her children from her previous marriage after the kids’ dad died. They took his surname. He has two sons with Keely, Dylan and Paris.
We wish Keely a very happy birthday.

Former Charmed star Rose McGowan, who is known for speaking her mind and for her bravery to stand up for herself, caused a stir with a tweet about Oprah Winfrey accusing her of being fake and a liar.
According to McGowan, the former host faked her support for the #MeToo movement.
“I am glad more are seeing the ugly truth of @Oprah,” McGowan tweeted along with an old photo of the talk show host smiling alongside convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein. “I wish she were real, but she isn’t.”
The tweet continued: “From being pals with Weinstein to abandoning & destroying Russell Simmon’s [sic] victims, she is about supporting a sick power structure for personal gain, she is as fake as they come. #lizard.”
This came after Oprah stepped down from the role of an executive producer of Russell Simmons’ #MeToo documentary. Simmons, a hip-hop music mogul, has been accused of more than a dozen cases of sexual assault or misconduct since November 2017.
At the time, Oprah revealed that the reason behind her decision was that “More work needs to be done on the film to clarify the full extent of what the victims endured, and it became clear that the filmmakers and I were not united in that creative vision.”
She told The Hollywood Reporter that she supported the women who endured sexual assault, adding that their stories need to be told and heard.
Speaking of Weinstein, whose long list of alleged sexual assaults dating back to the 1970s was the catalyst for the #MeToo movement in October 2017, Oprah said she was previously friendly with him. The host further added that she “didn’t know any of this was going on,” referring of Weinstein’s behavior.
“Everybody has a story, so I believe this is a turning point. We’re going to miss this opportunity if we only make it about Harvey Weinstein,” Oprah explained.
McGowan also tweeted that she has “a message to the evil creeps in all industries, all nations. We, the people, have a message for you.” She then linked Lily Allen’s 2009 song “Fuck You.”
The actress is among those who accused Weinstein of rape.

Albert Einstein has been quoted to have said, “Two things are infinite: The universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.” Whether it is true that this saying is of this renowned German physicist or not, we can all relate to the truth it holds.
The following situations are just the perfect proof of that. We hope you’ll have a good laugh.
1: My husband and I went through the McDonald’s driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 bill.
Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.
She said, ‘You gave me too much money.’
I said, ‘Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar back.’
She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request.
I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said ‘We’re sorry but we don’t do that kind of thing.’
The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change.
Do not confuse the people at MacD’s.
2: We had to have the garage door repaired.
The repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a ‘large’ enough motor on the opener.
I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.
He shook his head and said, ‘You need a 1/4 horsepower.’
I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, ‘NOOO, it’s not. Four is larger than two.’
We haven’t used that repairman since…
3: I live in a semi-rural area.
We recently had a new neighbor call the local city council office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road.
The reason: ‘Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don’t think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.’
4: IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE.
My daughter went to a Mexican fast-food place and ordered a taco.
She asked the person behind the counter for ‘minimal lettuce.’
He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce
5: I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked,
‘Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?’
To which I replied, ‘If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?’
He smiled knowingly and nodded, ‘That’s why we ask.’
6: The pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it’s safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an ‘intellectually challenged’ co-worker of mine.
She asked if I knew what the beeper was for.
I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red.
Appalled, she responded, ‘What on earth are blind people doing driving?!’
She is a government employee…..
7: When my wife and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our car after a service, we were told the keys had been locked in it.
We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver’s side door.
As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.
‘Hey,’ I announced to the technician, ‘it’s open!’
His reply was, ‘I know. I already did that side.’

Although superstitions are often connected to pagan beliefs and religious practices that existed many years ago, there are still plenty of people out there who are superstitious even nowadays, just like the dad from the following joke.
You can read it below.
A father put his 3-year-old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers which ended by saying, “God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy, God bless Grandma and goodbye Grandpa.”
The father asked, ‘Why did you say good-bye Grandpa?’
The little girl said, “I don’t know daddy, it just seemed like the thing to do.” The next day grandpa died. The father thought it was a strange coincidence.
A few months later the father put the girl to bed and listened to her prayers, “God bless Mommy, God Bless Daddy and goodbye Grandma.” The next day the grandmother died.
“Holy crap” thought the father, “this kid is in contact with the other side.”
Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed the dad heard her say, “God bless Mommy and goodbye Daddy.”
He was so troubled that he barely went through the day. He was constantly looking at his watch, anticipating for the worst to happen. As he felt safe at work, he didn’t go home once his working hours were over but decided to stay at the office until midnight. He had a couple of cups of coffee as he didn’t want to fall asleep either.
When midnight finally arrived, he felt a sense of relief and headed home.
When he got home his wife said, “I’ve never seen you work so late. What’s the matter?” He said, “I don’t want to talk about it, I just had the worst day of my life.” She said, “You think you had a bad day? You’ll never believe what happened to me. This morning the mailman dropped dead on our porch!”

There is something about old people that make us think about life and the things we are to achieve until we reach that ‘old’ age. For one, elderly people are wise and full of knowledge, and secondly, they are often hilarious, so it’s not surprising there are plenty of jokes about them.
This one is about to make your day.
An elderly couple entered a restaurant and ordered a single meal which consisted of a hamburger, french fries, and a single drink.
When the meal arrived, the man cut the hamburger in half and placed one part of it in front of his wife. He then did the same with the french fries and placed the drink in between. They both took sips one by one.
While the man had his piece of the hamburger, his wife was just sitting there watching him eat.
A man who noticed them decided to approach them and offered to buy them another meal, but the elderly man said, “No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything.”
As he continued eating, his wife was patiently waiting and was taking sips every now and then.
The man who was at the restaurant approached them once again and offered to at least buy them another drink.
The elderly man refused once again saying that he and his wife share everything.
Finally, when the husband finished eating and wiped his mouth, the man who was observing them approached them for the third time because he couldn’t help but learn why the woman was waiting for her husband to eat.
He got closer and asked her: “What is that you are waiting for?”
The wife replied, “The TEETH.”
