Bindi Irwin is on the path to recovery

Many said that late Steve Irwin’s children had big shoes to fill when they decided to follow into his footsteps. However, they are showing the world that they are continuing their father’s legacy in the best way possible. The love they feel for the animals is enormous and their efforts to preserve different species is effortless.

Bindi Irwin and Robert Irwin, together with their mother Terri, work as zoo keepers in Australia. They are involved in conservation, promotion, and protection of animals.

Bindi, who is now a mom of daughter Grace Warrior, often shares photos of her little one and updates her fans of important events of her life.

This time, she shared a photo of herself from the hospital, telling her fans that after years of living in pain, she has finally decided to take care of a condition she suffered from.

Namely, Bindi was diagnosed with endometriosis, a disorder in which cells identical to the lining of the uterus develop outside of the uterus.

The thing is that she spent years trying to figure out what was wrong with her.

“Dear Friends, I battled for a long time wondering if I should share this journey with you in such a public space. It came down to the responsibility I feel to share my story for other women who need help,” she wrote on the social media and explained that doctors’ ignored her symptoms for long.

“A doctor told me it was simply something you deal with as a woman & I gave up entirely, trying to function through the pain. I didn’t find answers until a friend @lesliemosier helped set me on a path of regaining my life. I decided to undergo surgery for endometriosis,” she wrote, adding that the doctors found thirty-seven lesions and an ovarian cyst.

Then, it was a friend of hers who encouraged her to do all in her power to detect the reason behind the pain she experienced for so long.

Finally, she was diagnosed and could get the treatment needed.

“Things may look fine on the outside looking in through the window of someone’s life, however, that is not always the case. Please be gentle & pause before asking me (or any woman) when we’ll be having more children,” she wrote.

“Our graceful warrior is the most beautiful light,” the proud mom wrote. “Grace is named after my great-grandmother, and relatives in Chandler’s family dating back to the 1700s. Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior. Her last name is Powell and she already has such a kind soul just like her dad.”

“After all that my body has gone through, I feel tremendously grateful that we have our gorgeous daughter. She feels like our family’s miracle. I’m aware of millions of women struggling with a similar story. There’s stigma around this awful disease. I’m sharing my story for anyone who reads this & is quietly dealing with pain & no answers. Let this be your validation that your pain is real & you deserve help. Keep searching for answers. www.endofound.org,” she concluded.

Experts Are Shedding Light on the ‘Death Rattle’ Phenomenon Before Passing

By

Bryan Seal

-

When someone is nearing the end of life, their body undergoes many changes, some of which may occur months before their passing. However, in the final 24 hours, loved ones may witness a common and often unsettling phenomenon—a noise known as the ‘death rattle.’

What is the ‘Death Rattle’?

According to Medical News Today, the ‘death rattle’ is caused by changes in breathing patterns and the buildup of secretions in the throat. Hospice Nurse Julie, an expert in end-of-life care, describes the sound:

“This is just a collection of a small bit of saliva in the back of the throat that just sounds really bad.”

Julie adds that fever is also common during this stage:

“We lose the ability to control the core temperature, so our temperature will fluctuate at the end of life. Again, it’s all very normal and part of the death and dying process if you are dying naturally at home.”

What Does the ‘Death Rattle’ Sound Like?

The ‘death rattle’ occurs when a person’s ability to swallow diminishes, allowing secretions to build up in the respiratory tract. The sound is often described as a “crackling, wet noise” that grows louder with each breath.

Some describe it as a faint groaning or snoring sound, while others liken it to a louder gurgling noise. Despite its alarming nature, it’s important to note that the individual is not experiencing pain or discomfort during this process.

Research shows that the average lifespan after the onset of the death rattle is around twenty-five hours. However, the process tends to last longer for those receiving hospice care compared to hospital patients.

What Can You Do to Ease the ‘Death Rattle Noise’?

While the ‘death rattle’ is a natural part of the dying process, there are ways to reduce its intensity to comfort those nearby:

Turn the person onto their side to allow secretions to drain.
Raise their head slightly to promote drainage.
Moisten their mouth with damp swabs to keep it hydrated.
Use suction to remove secretions when appropriate.
Limit fluid intake to prevent excessive secretions.
Administer medications designed to clear secretions, as prescribed by medical professionals.

It’s important to understand that while these measures can help reduce the noise, they likely won’t eliminate it entirely. Medical professionals can provide explanations and support to help loved ones cope with the situation.

A Natural Process

The ‘death rattle’ may sound distressing to family and friends, but it’s a natural stage of the dying process. Loved ones should take solace in knowing that the individual is not in pain or distress.

Understanding the phenomenon and its implications can help bring comfort and clarity during this difficult time. By being present and informed, families can focus on providing love and support as their loved one transitions peacefully.

Woman Transforms a Plane Into a Stunning Home!

By

Bryan Seal

-

Buses, tiny homes, and shipping containers have seen a rise in popularity as creative building materials for unique homes. But what if we told you someone took this trend to new heights? This is the story of how a woman transforms plane house into a luxurious and functional home.

One-of-a-Kind Housing

In 1993, Jo Ann Ussery faced unexpected tragedy when her house was destroyed in a storm. With limited funds and two children to care for, she had to think outside the box. That’s when her brother-in-law, an air traffic controller, suggested she consider an airplane as her new home. This incredible story showcases how a woman transforms plane house into something extraordinary.

Ussery purchased a decommissioned Boeing 727 for just $2,000, plus shipping costs. Nicknamed “Little Trump” after Donald Trump’s private plane, the aircraft became her blank canvas. She spent under $30,000 renovating the interior, creating one of the most impressive transformations of its kind.

Major Refurbishment

The 138-foot-long Boeing 727 offered nearly 1,500 square feet of space, making it ideal for conversion. Ussery parked the plane nose-first over a lake on her property, creating a scenic view from what used to be the cockpit. This was just one of the creative touches that showed how a woman transforms plane house into a stunning, functional home.

Inside, Ussery installed three bedrooms, a kitchen, a laundry room, and even a master bathroom. The cockpit was transformed into a luxurious bath with a soaking tub overlooking the lake. While the exterior retained the airplane’s iconic look, the interior became a cozy and stylish home.

A Plane House Like No Other

Ussery’s incredible vision proved that even a retired aircraft could become a beautiful living space. For several years, she lived in the plane house before planning to open it as a museum. Unfortunately, during transportation, the plane was tragically damaged beyond repair. Yet her story remains an inspiring example of how a woman transforms plane house into something truly extraordinary.

What do you think of this unique housing concept? Could you imagine living in a plane house? Let us know in the comments!

Country music world praying for Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo

By

Bunnie XO, Jelly Roll’s wife, spoke on her podcast, Dumb Blonde, about the common ‘misconception’ about OCD and how she’s dealing with it daily.

“I know some people joke about being a little OCD, but as someone who’s actually living with OCD, I’ll be the first to tell you it’s not a laughing matter,” Bunnie XO said.

“It isn’t just being tidy or organized. OCD is actually having disturbing, unwanted thoughts that cause you overwhelming anxiety because they just feel so wrong, and you really don’t wanna be thinking about them.”

Bunnie XO then went into details about her repetitive behaviors.

“You do [them] to try to make the anxiety from those thoughts go away; but that just doesn’t work in the long run, and they just keep coming back,” she explained.

“The idea that OCD is only about hand-washing and organization is a complete misconception,” Bunnie continued. “It often focuses on the things we care about most, our relationships, religious beliefs, our hobbies, and passions, in an attempt to make the distress from their unwanted thoughts go away.”

Earlier this year, Bunnie XO shared with fans that she experienced a “pretty scary” situation after undergoing an MRI/MRA scan.

According to her, her results showed that she had a “two-millimeter aneurysm on my carotid artery,” but days later, she was told it was likely instead “an artifact.”

“I tell you what, this health scare put so much in perspective for me,” Bunnie XO told her followers. “It honestly made me want to change a lot of things in my life.”

She continued, “Be more appreciative of my family & friends. It also made me reevaluate my relationship w/ God & learn to have faith for the first time in my life.”

In May, 2024, Bunnie XO suffered the loss of her father, Bill. He died of cancer.

Bunnie XO paid tributes to her dad on the social media, writing, “Hey Bill, I’m going to miss you. You are still my favorite rock star & my hero. This one’s going to hurt.”

Boy gives up dream shoes to buy boots for poor classmate

By

Monica Pop

-

David, a young and talented football player, always dreamed of making it to the national team. Despite being just 12, he practiced a lot, and was determined to make his dream come true. He also dreamed of a pair of spiked shoes.

Every now and then, while sitting at the window seat on the school bus, he daydreamed of lifting the trophy of an important championship and thanking his mother for everything she had done for him. “That would be an awesome speech,” he would mumble.

For months, David had been saving for a new pair of sneakers. He loved those sneakers so much. Every day, he would sell lemonade on the stand he had built himself and would help his neighbors with errands in order to be able to collect the money himself without burdening his mom who already had a lot on her plate raising him and his twin sisters.

David stopped by the shoe store and told the owner that he had been saving up for the new shoes. “Young man, your shoes will be here waiting,” Mr. Manning said with a smile on his face.

One day, on the way to school, a boy named Guillermo asked David if he could take the seat next to him. “Of course,” David replied.

Guillermo admired David. He wanted to be famous among the schoolmates just as David was.

That day, Guillermo told David that he liked his shoes, but David said they were old already and that he was saving up for a brand new pair.

Guillermo felt a bit embarrassed and hid his feet under the seat. The truth was that it was his shoes that were old and worn out, not David’s.

In the days that followed, David and Guillermo became close friends. One day, David told his friend, “Guillermo, I finally did it. My piggy bank is full. I’m getting my dream shoes today.”

Guillermo was very happy for David, and as the two talked, the bus suddenly jolted over a pothole, and one of Guillermo’s shoes fell off onto the bus floor.

David was taken aback. The shoe had a hole on the sole. He felt sorry for his friend and a bit embarrassed because he was bragging about the new shoes this whole time, while his friend’s were really old, the canvas was coming apart, and there was no sign of a lace.

The following day, David asked Guillermo to go with him to the store.

Once inside, Mr. Manning told David, “Congrats, young man, you earned your own money for the shoes. They are perfectly set in a box, waiting for you.”

“Mr. Manning,” David said, “I want the shoes, but in a smaller size, please.”

Mr. Manning was confused. “But these are your size, young man,” he said. David then pointed to Guillermo and said, “I want them in his size.”

Guillermo was stunned. “No, David, there is no need to…” But David stopped him before he finished his sentence. “Guillermo, you are such a good friend. You say I;m your idol and you call me your hero. Please, let me get these shoes for you.”

Mr. Manning knew David was a special boy, but he was still stunned at how kind his heart was.

He took out a pair of shoes in Guillermo’s size and handed it to him.

The two friends were happy and headed home.

Once home, however, David’s mom asked him if he got the shoes. Looking at the floor, thinking she would scold him, he said quietly, “Mom, I bought them for my friend Guillermo. His were really old, and I thought he needed them more than I did.”

His mom gave him a hug. “Oh, son, you are such a kind and compassionate young man. I’m so proud of you.”

As the two talked about Guillermo, a truck pulled in front of their home.

It was Mr. Manning. He brought plenty of shoes for David, his sister, and his friend.

“I know how much you wanted those spiked sneakers, and I’ve seen you selling lemonade and delivering newspapers. You helped a friend in need, and I wanted to surprise you today.”

David learned that day that even the tiniest act of kindness always goes a long way.

According to the police, King and two of his friends, were approached by a group of men whom they didn’t know.

Courtland Young, another of King’s friends, urged people to refrain from commenting on matters they knew nothing about. “I can’t speak about this right now, but I’ve been in touch with his family and close friend,” Young wrote on the social media.

Chris was best known for his collaborations with Trippie Redd, who also paid tribute.

Actor Keke Palmer also posted about King. She shared an old photo of her chatting with the late rapper.

“I wish I had more photos but it’s actually perfect because this is exactly how it began,” she wrote. “I can’t believe I’m saying rest in peace. This is terrible. I really don’t know what to say. I just want to share that I loved you and I remember all the city walk, grove moments. That was my high school.”

My brother-in-law asked me to bake a cake for his birthday

By

Monica Pop

-

Jacqueline never felt like she belonged in her husband’s family. They all treated her like she was not good enough for Tom, and Jack, her brother-in-law, was the worst of all.

Every family gathering was a chance for her mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and the rest of the family to mock her by making passive-aggressive comments. They simply didn’t see Jacqueline as the right fit for Tom whom they considered ambitious.

The worst of all was that Tom was never supportive of Jacqueline.

On the contrary, he always defended his family, saying they were just making jokes and she was making a big deal out of nothing.

With each passing day, this woman’s self-confidence was diminishing. She struggled to find ways to show her worth, but every attempt was a failure. It seems like her husband’s family enjoyed undermining her and humiliating her at every chance they had.

Jacqueline, who was a cake decorator, did her best to fit in, and she believed she could do it through her work. For every family occasion, she would bake perfect cakes and cookies, but still, her mother-in-law, Alice, and Jack, would make mean comments.

Her work became Jacqueline’s sanctuary. The only thing that brought joy.

One day, as she was busy in the kitchen, she received a text message from her brother-in-law. He wanted a cake for his birthday. Jacqueline was surprised by this unusual request. Jake never asked her for anything. What’s most, he always made comments about her cakes, saying she could do better. Still, she felt like things might change, and that this was an olive branch from her brother-in-law.

On the day of what Jacqueline believed was Jack’s birthday, she went to his place to deliver the cake herself. It was a three tiers of soft blue and silver buttercream, adorned with delicate hand-painted fondant flowers.

What Jacqueline didn’t know when she stepped foot at Jack’s place was that this day would be the one that changed her life forever.

It wasn’t Jack’s birthday, and it wasn’t a birthday party.

A huge banner with the words “Bon Voyage” written in glitter, gold and white was in the middle of the room.

It was a going-away party for Tom, who was moving to Europe with his mistress. Photos of him with the other woman were placed all around the room. The entire family was aware of his affair and his decision to leave Jacqueline, and they were eager to celebrate it.

Although her heart broke into a million pieces at that moment, and she felt like her entire world collapsed, Jacqueline found the strength to control her feelings. She wouldn’t let her brother-in-law and the rest of Tom’s family to humiliate her any longer.

Instead of yelling and crying, she placed the perfectly-made cake on the kitchen counter and started cutting it into perfect slices. She handed the first to Tom, her husband of many years who never stood by her side but let his family mock her. The second one to his mistress, saying, “And for you, a taste of what it takes to maintain what you’ve stolen.”

She handed the last piece to her brother-in-law.

“Thanks for inviting me to this unforgettable event. But I’ve had my share of people who only see me when it suits them,” she told him.

She then left the place, and for the first time in years, she felt calm. She no longer needed to try hard to receive Tom’s family’s approval. Luckily, she understood that this was for the best and that she could start her life over.

In the days to come, Jacqueline learned that Tom’s mistress bragged about moving to Europe with him, and somehow, his boss learned of that and figured out Tom was lying about the “family reasons” he listed on the request to be moved to Europe. His work contract was terminated. Being jobless, his mistress left him without giving it a second thought.

All of a sudden, he regretted his decision to divorce Jacqueline. He appeared at her apartment, apologizing for the way he and his family treated her. But it was already too late.

Jacqueline had her freedom. She was staring her life over, unburdened and unbroken.

Neighborhood: I tried to escape my past, only to discover a new neighbor knew my deepest secret

By

Monica Pop

-

When Alice made the decision to move places, all she hoped for was a fresh start. She did her best to leave her past behind and settled into what she believed was a quiet and welcoming neighborhood.

The new house was dusty and felt lifeless, as though it had been waiting for a new owner to bring it back to life. Like Alice, the place seemed to long for a new beginning.

Still unpacked, Alice heard a knock on her door. A handsome man with two cups of coffee, still steaming, welcomed himself inside. He introduced himself as Michael, Alice’s neighbor.

Before Alice could say anything, he started talking about the town and the neighborhood, telling her how welcoming everyone was. Michael had a grin on his face the entire time, which seemed to fade away when Alice told him she had a lot of unpacking to do and forced him to leave.

But just as she closed the door, there was another knock.

“Hello, I’m Suzanne, your neighbor,” the woman said. She seemed to have the bubbliest personality and knew everything about everyone in the neighborhood.

“Have you met Michael?” she asked, adding that he was the gem of the community. “By the way, he’s single,” she said as she winked at Alice.

It took some time before Suzanne finally left.

Alice looked at her cup of coffee that was standing on the counter for too long, and just as she was about to take a sip, there was yet another knock, and then another, and another. Before long, her kitchen counter was filled with gifts from her new neighbors. There were pies, chocolates, potted plants, you name it.

Exhausted from the forced small talks with her neighbors, Alice thought to herself that this neighborhood could be a bit too welcoming for her taste.

She could finally unpack her things and take some rest. However, as she was going through her things, she found a note that changed everything and brought the sense of fear and unease she was trying to escape from.

“I know who you are and what you are running from. Be careful with new friends,” the note read.

Alice was fearful. Who could leave that note there? Was it Michael, Suzanne? It could be anyone.

A few days passed by and Suzanne stopped by at Alice’s place. She said she was organizing a welcome party for her. The entire neighborhood was invited. Alice said there was no need for that because she had already met almost all of the neighbors, but Suzanne insisted.

At the party, there were a bunch of people whom Alice had never seen before. Everyone was eager to meet her and learn as much as possible about her life. She felt uncomfortable at times, but with Michael and Suzanne there, she did have some fun. Well, until she spotted a familiar face.

Alice’s heart raced. Why is he here? Who invited him? Could it be the same person who left the note? A flood of questions swirled in her mind.

Michael noticed she wasn’t feeling well and offered to take her home, but Alice declined. Instead, she found Suzanne among the crowd and asked her if he could spend the night at her place. Suzanne said yes, without asking any questions.

That night, Alice told Suzanne everything about Tim, her ex-boyfriend. She shared that she fell pregnant with him, but he was unsupportive and became angry. Sadly, that made Alice feel unsafe, so she left him.

Tears started falling down her face when Suzanne took her hand and said, “There’s something I need to tell you too.”

“I found Tim on the social media and invited him to the party,” she said. “Honestly, I thought you could fall for Michael, but you know… I like Michael and I wanted to distract you… I didn’t mean to cause any harm,” Suzanne confessed, and it looked like she was ashamed of herself.

Before Alice could say anything, Tim appeared at the door.

“Alice, we need to talk,” he said softly, as though he regretted ever treating her the way he did.

Tim explained that he got scared when he learned about the baby, and his reaction was overwhelming. But even before he could say he was sorry, Alice moved places and he couldn’t reach her. It was like that until Suzanne sent him a message.

He then pulled out his phone and showed Alice photos of the nursery room he prepared for their baby.

His words seemed genuine. He was truly sorry, and Alice realized she judged him too quickly.

She was also scared when she learned about the baby, but she never admitted that, she only blamed it on Tim.

At that moment, Tim whispered, “I love you, Alice, and I will you with every breath I take.”

“Oh, Tim,” Alice said and embraced him.

That evening was a new start for Alice and Tim. They learned they still belonged together.
