Different people love different things and what is appealing for some might be off-putting for others. Well, in the case of a man from Pflugerville, Texas, his pink house, which he loves and feels at ease at, is described as repulsive by mostly all of his neighbors.

Emilio Rodriguez, however, doesn’t care what others think as long as he’s happy with his unusual home.

Speaking of it, when we say it’s pink, we mean it. Starting from the roof, the walls, the bricks, and even the pillars and the gutters, everything is covered in pink. That this man is totally smitten with this color could also be seen from his tatooes, which are pink as well.

What’s most, not only he isn’t planning on changing color as his neighbors demand, but he’s even considering getting a pink driveway and a pink car. As for those living around him, they believe that Emilio’s home is affecting the value of theirs in a negative way.

Emilio suffered a car accident in the past and was left paralyzed from the waist down and now he says that being surrounded with pink brings a strange comfort to him. And yes, he’s even planning on painting his wheelchair in his favorite color.

The neighbors also complain that Emilio’s house doesn’t fit well with the “mountain view,” but there’s not really something that they can do about it.

“No HOA. I pre-planned this specifically because of that reason, so when people get mad I explain there is no HOA here,” He told CBS Austin. “Even if they made an HOA right here I’m already grandfathered in so we’re set. I did my homework beforehand.”

Well, there are also those who love this unique place. “Definitely it’s adding a twist to the neighborhood. There’s no other house like this,” Emmanuel Alvarado, a neighbor who lives a few blocks away shared with FOX7. “I would suggest to the neighbors to be open-minded. Because, you know, I think you should invest energy in to being unique. To being yourself and not let yourself be suppressed by society thinks is normal.”

What do you think of this? Would you consider living in a house like this?

Officer spots a child in backseat during traffic stop and tells the mom to follow him

Niya Sumter from Mississippi was driving her son to the doctor’s when she heard the sirens behind her. She truly hoped she didn’t do anything wrong and prayed she wouldn’t get a ticket. Sadly, that’s exactly what happened.

The officer who pulled her over, Bradley Sanders, noticed something unusual about this mother and her little one. The boy, who was sitting in the back of the vehicle, wasn’t in a child seat. Instead, little Kaemon was “strapped” in the seat and had a lot of wiggle room there.

Officer Sanders could sense Niya was a caring mother. He assumed that she probably couldn’t afford a child seat, so he did something truly incredible.

After he wrote her the tickets, he asked her to follow him to the nearest Walmart. Niya was confused, but agreed to drive after the officer. Once there, he bought her a brand new child seat so that Kaemon could be safe while on the road.

However, it wasn’t the only thing he did for this single mother. He also told her he was going to void her speeding tickets in the courtroom.

Niya was so very thankful to this incredible man who cared for her son’s safety. At the end of the day, officer Sanders is a family man and knows how much effort as well as finances it takes to bring children up.

Niya believed that the story of the kindness she received that day was worth sharing, so she took to Facebook to write what happened. “Can I say how good god is headed to my son Dr. Apt Got Pulled Over Mr. Bradley Sanders he Gave Me 3 Tickets After giving me my tickets he said follow me let’s go buy your baby a car seat ! Due to Kaemon Being in a big boy seat and trying to get out of it while the police talking to me. He told me in January when I go to court he will throw them out I just thank god.”

Thank you, Officer Sanders. We need more people like you in the world.

10-year-old girl lost her life after rock crashed through car’s windshield

A young life was taken away in a bizarre accident which took place on July 26, in Idaho, when a semi-truck accidentally kicked up a rock from the road. The 4-inch rock then flung through the windshield of another car and struck a 10-year-old girl who was sitting at the passenger’s seat.

The girl’s father, Brad Horsley, immediately drove his daughter, Kambrie, to the Oneida County Hospital in Malad. Shortly after she was admitted, she was transferred to the Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, but unfortunately, nothing could be done. Kambrie lost her life and left her parents and her five siblings mourning her loss.

As reported by Idaho State Journal, prior to the tragic incident, the rock which killed Kambrie had been dislodged from the roadway. The police tracked down the driver of the semi-truck but he had no idea a life was lost that day.

After thorough investigation, the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office determined that there was no wrongdoing involved in the events that led to Kambrie death.

Kambrie’s family described their Kam Kam as a sweet and loving girl “so full of life and love and always up for an adventure.”

The obituary, published on Horsley Funeral Homes, read: “She was always playing with someone’s child or talking to an adult she had just met.

“She loved all animals and was always happy to care for a new one. Her happy countenance shown about her always and she gave everyone the best hugs! Kambrie sped through her short life with such drive and intensity modeling love and inclusion in all she did.”

The devastated father who witnessed his girl losing her young life shared his heartbreak on Facebook and wrote just how much he loves and misses her. “Heaven gained the perfect angel today. She was the best all around girl,” Brad wrote. “I don’t know what I’ll do without her… Thank you for your thoughts, texts and prayers. Love my Kam Kam… Can’t wait to see you again. I’ll Love you forever. I know I’ll see you again!! Please continue to pray for us. This family will need it!!! She was the BEST. Families are forever!!!”

Rest in peace, Kam Kam.

This is all you need to know about Elizabeth, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s younger sister

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are one of the most famous twin sisters that we know. They started their acting careers at a very young age and have been under the spotlight ever since, because of one reason or another. Although acting is not their thing any longer, their lives have always been of great interest to the wide public and the media.

Their younger sister, Elizabeth Olsen, is also pursuing a career in the film industry and she has already made a name for herself starring in a number of movies. In fact, according to Elizabeth herself, she wanted to become an actress from very young age. She recalls how her parents told her it was up to her to decide whether she wanted to be part of the industry or not.

“My parents said, ‘OK, well if that’s what you really want to do, then you have to know that you are going to risk not being a part of the sports team, you’re going to have to risk not being a part of ballet after school,’” Elizabeth Best Life. “And so, I did that for three months of my childhood, but it wasn’t worth it to me to work for a living.”

Living in L.A. where everyone wants to try themselves as part of Hollywood, most of Elizabeth’s friends believed acting wasn’t a very cool profession as a lot of people they knew were doing it. However, young Elizabeth took drama classes while at high school and her dream of following into her sisters’ footsteps seemed more realistic than ever.

“My way in to being OK with the want of being an actor was through the theater, because it felt more academic and it felt less like the experience of celebrity and whatever it is,” she said.

“But it was more about the process, and the history, and the intellectual experience of what it means to collaborate and tell a story. And through thinking about theater from an academic perspective, I allowed myself to be OK with it. Which is sad that you have to give yourself a better reason to do something you want to do, but that’s what allowed me to want to pursue it in college.”

Elizabeth attended the New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and spent a semester studying in Russia at the Moscow Art Theatre School. Soon after, she was offered minor roles and later the more influential ones followed.

She starred in Silent House, Peace, Love & Understanding and Martha Marcy May Marlene shortly after she graduated from college.

“I’m so lucky [director] Sean Durkin wanted to go with someone who had literally no film experience,” Elizabeth told Philadelphia Style. “I think the reason Sean liked the idea was because I didn’t know what I looked like on camera, and I didn’t care about what angle of my face looked good. It added to the awkwardness of Martha.”

In 2013 Elizabeth starred in Kill Your Darlings in, and then in 2014 and 2015, the movies Godzilla and the international blockbuster Avengers: Age of Ultron followed.

She often speaks of the support and the advice she gets from her sisters. In her interview with Philadelphia Style, Elizabeth said of Mary-Kate and Ashley: “They’re very tight-lipped—notoriously so—and I was not caring what I was saying [in interviews] because I’d assumed no one would read it.

“That’s when we’d have conversations. They’d say, ‘You know, even if you don’t think anyone’s going to read this article, someone might pull the quote later for [something else].’ It’s all part of how you hope someone interprets you, and how they frame who you are and the work you do.”

Recently, she starred in the television series WandaVision, as Wanda Maximoff, and it looks like Elizabeth’s career is skyrocketing. But besides being a celebrity already, she tends to keep a low profile and keep her privacy only for herself. That is something she learned from her sisters. Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar, the young actress said: “There are ways you can be private – my sisters are intimately private and I respect that,” Olsen explained. “They showed me that you can be private, but also accessible to journalists, for those reasons. It’s helpful and I learnt my value system from them. They’ve always had the greatest friends and so have I.

“People always ask, ‘was it hard for you to make friends once you started working?’ And I’m like, ‘what are you talking about? No.’ I already had those and the ones I made through work are great.”

We wish Elizabeth Olsen be as successful as she has been so far. We can’t wait to see her in future projects.

The Bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect star has landed a number of roles where she played an overweight young lady. It’s not that she didn’t like that, but according to her, people, as well as producers, didn’t take her seriously so she decided to make a huge change and that started with her health. Wilson declared 2020, one of the toughest years for the humanity, her “Year of Health.”

“I literally feel as if I have to physically transform myself, because for some reason, even though we’re in a very imaginative industry, it’s very difficult for people to imagine me as a serious actress and I feel that I physically have to show you that I am different,” she told The Telegraph.

Her inspirational weight loss journey started in January of last year, and today, a year later, she looks incredibly hot. Her dedication and strong will helped Wilson complete her own goal and reach a target weight of 165 pounds.

In October of 2020, she posted a photo on Instagram eating pastry in Monaco and wrote: “Remember though girls, you still gotta treat yourself. I just do it with food now only once or twice a week and substitute bubble baths on alternate nights.”

Her story of dedication, hard work, and not giving up serves as an inspiration to a huge number of women from every part of the world.

“What I was trying to do is change those habits so that you’re more loving and you’re treating yourself with more respect,” she told Prevention. “I’m working on self-love, and that’s a hard concept to master. To foster self-love.

“I like to end in gratitude and write down what I’m blessed about. Even if it’s something very small … that’s amazing.”

What’s most, she won’t stop at nothing to keep herself healthy and stunning as she is.

81-year-old man forced out of woods and jailed after living in a cabin “off the grid” for nearly three decades

David Lidstone, known as ‘River Dave,’ ended up in jail on July 15 and now his life story is going viral. Namely, this man has been living in a cabin placed in the woods of New Hampshire for over 27 years. There, on a tiny part of the 73 acres of land, he created his own little heaven, with a small garden where he grows his own fruits and vegetables, and has his chickens.

Now, the land’s owner, 86-year-old Leonard Giles, has reported Lidstone of squatting, although he only learned he was living there back in 2015.

Sadly, while in jail, Lidstone’s cabin had caught on fire, and the veteran and a father-of-four was told his place was destroyed. The blaze is currently investigated by authorities, as reported by the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal’s Office.

River Dave was told he would be able to get out of jail in three terms. He either agrees to leave, the land’s owner knock down his cabin, or 30 days pass without any action. Now that his cabin is no longer there, judge ruled he can be released.

One thing is certain, Lidstone isn’t planning on leaving the place he called home for the last three decades. “I will sit here until I rot, or I will go home,” he said, as per AP News.

Most of his belongings had been taken out of the cabin before the mysterious fire took place and no animals were spotted nearby, neither leaving nor deceased.

As his story went viral, a huge number of people offered their land and cabins for him to live in.

At the same time, a petition for him to get back to his old place has been organized and over 6250 people have signed it so far. “He is a veteran, a local legend, a homesteader and most importantly human being,” petition organizer Tyler Groves wrote.

“I’d like to petition for Dave to spend his years on the land. He’s always willing to help anyone coming down the river and he always has fresh produce or eggs for the campers.

“He shouldn’t owe anybody anything. The property he’s on has a verbal agreement that he could stay there for the remainder of his life but however there is no proof of it how ever he’s been on the piece of land for over two decades with no harm to anyone.”

Lidstone’s estranged brother, Vincent, said: “What they’re doing to him isn’t right for anybody, whether he’s my brother or anybody’s brother. He’s 81 years old. Leave him alone.”

Jodie Gedeon, a kayaker and and one of Lidstone’s friends added “He’s just a really, really, big caring guy, and just chooses to live off the grid… it really is about humanity, it really is about compassion, empathy… he’s not hurting anybody.”

During all those years, Lidstone has been living peacefully, and to take his home from him at this age is so unfair. We hope he will find a way to build his cabin there again.

Tenants refuse to pay rent and leave tons of mess in former home – Landlord gets the revenge

By

Thomas Ravaux is a landlord who knows how hard it really is to find the perfect tenants who wouldn’t ruin the place and will pay the rent on time. What he experienced with the last family that rented his place is downright unpleasant and left people wonder how can someone live in such a mess and so much clutter around.

The tenants didn’t pay rent for the past 14 months so Thomas decided to pay them a visit and try to find a solution to the problem, but once he opened the doors of the house he was totally disgusted by what he came to. The place was so filthy and disorganized that he could barely pass through the hallway and into the rooms.

He immediately called his lawyer and made another call, to a dump truck company. The only thing he could do was to take things in his hands and teach the irresponsible family a lesson. 

Facebook/Thomas Ravaux

Thomas shared the photos of what he stumbled upon on his Facebook page, saying:

“This is how this flat was returned to me. Living like that with three kids, bravo. Not to mention the food that has gone bad in the fridge. Food offered to you by restaurant owners from their heart!

Shame on you. Good luck to your new landlord.”

People who got to see the actual conditions in which the parents were raising their children were worried for the kids’ well-being. 

Facebook/Thomas Ravaux

The only logical solution Thomas could think of was to pack up the garbage and the debris and simply dump it in front of the ex-tenants’ new place. He believed that should teach them good behavior and hoped they will never again do that to any other landlord. 

He told France Info that initially he was reconsidering that decision, but local police authorities assured him he won’t get into trouble for the garbage wasn’t his to deal with. 

“It was carnage inside. Everything was totally destroyed. The carpet is messed up, there are holes in the walls, all the paintwork needs re-doing, and we will need to disinfect it all. The smell is unbearable. I had a legal representative witness the damage before we emptied the place…

Then I loaded everything into a dumpster and brought them back home…

I met the authorities and we talked… For now, I’m not worried… The old tenants had to clear the sidewalk and bring everything to the dump Tuesday night. Everything is cleaned.”

People love his dramatic move.

“I’ve received a lot of reactions, all in my favor. Everyone supports me!”

We hope this story will teach a lesson not only Thomas’ tenants but any other person out there. If something isn’t ours, it doesn’t mean we can destroy it. We are glad they didn’t get away with it.

Granny gets hilarious revenge on driver who wouldn’t stop honking at her while crossing the street

As people grow old, they usually feel the need to take things slowly because their bodies are not as strong as they used to be. Many have troubles perform even the most basic tasks such as going to the store and running errands. 

What we should do in such cases is be patient and let them take all the time they need. We, as a society, should do all in our power to facilitate the life of the elderly people. Sadly, not everyone is considerate towards them. 

An elderly lady was trying to cross the road, and she was obviously having troubles walking. However, the person waiting for her to pass wouldn’t stop honking at her. This made the lady mad so she decided to teach him a lesson. 

The people who witnessed the incident were left in stitches by the lady’s act. This teaches us that we should never mess with old people because they’ve been around way longer than us and know a lot more. 

Check the video below and see the lady’s sweet revenge.
