This ‘129 Ways to Get a Husband’ Article From 1958 Shows How Much The World Has Changed
It’s been twenty years since the first episode of the iconic movie “Sex and The City” aired, but the issues it discussed throughout the years, such as sexuality, promiscuity, and the never ending dilemma of how to find the perfect match are still tackling women from all around the world.
However, things change over time, and the definition of a healthy relationship today might be quite different compared to the past. While back then the role and the position of many women was underrated and the man was the boss of the house, it’s pretty different nowadays.
But one thing that didn’t change are the TV programs and the magazines that always find a way to attract women’s attention by listing various tricks of how to catch the man of their dreams. One woman came across an interesting copy of a 1958 McCall’s magazine. In that magazine, an article entitled ‘129 ways to get a husband’ caught her eye. She decided to share it, and it is every bit as good as you would expect.
So if you ever wondered, this is how the 1950s advised women to seduce the opposite sex. Interesting indeed! Take a look and tell us if you’d try any of these tricks.
Police Officer Learns The Hard Way NOT To Mess With Senior Citizens
This hilarious story will teach you not to mess with older people because they possess all the knowledge and experience of the world and may easily teach you a lesson. The witty comeback this old lady has for the officer who pulled her over is the best thing you’ll read all day.
An older lady gets pulled over for speeding…
Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?
Officer: Ma’am, you were speeding.
Older Woman: Oh, I see.
Officer: Can I see your license please?
Older Woman: I’d give it to you but I don’t have one.
Officer: Don’t have one?
Older Woman: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving.
Officer: I see….Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.
Older Woman: I can’t do that. Officer: Why not.
Older Woman: I stole this car.
Officer: Stole it?
Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.
Officer: You what?
Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see.
The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.
Officer 2: Ma’am, could you step out of your vehicle please!
The woman steps out of her vehicle.
Older woman: Is there a problem sir?
Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.
Older Woman: Murdered the owner?
Officer 2: Yes, could you open the trunk of your car, please.
The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.
Officer 2: Is this your car, ma’am?
Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers. The officer is quite stunned.
Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.
The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer. The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.
Officer 2: Thank you ma’am, one of my officers told me you didn’t have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.
Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too.
Moral: Don’t mess with little old ladies!
Stevie Wonder And Son Perform On Dancing With The Stars
When beloved singer Stevie Wonder took to the stage for Dancing With The Stars: Juniors last week, the audience erupted with applause. But Stevie wasn’t the only person they were clapping for!
This time, they gave it up for his dashing 13-year-old son Mandla Morris and his dancing partner Brightyn Brems. These two amazing teenagers lit up the audience.
Dad Stevie Wonder Provided Backup
The legendary singer performed “Isn’t She Lovely,” and it was definitely one of the highlights of this couple’s amazing performance. Working expertly and precisely, the two teens danced the foxtrot with absolutely no missteps. One wonders how long it took them to master this. They made it look so effortless.
“Well first it is so incredible to have the amazing Stevie Wonder performing tonight, I know if I had to do a performance with my dad on Dancing With The Stars it would not have looked like that,” said Adam Rippon, one of the judges. “You were so good, this is probably one of your best dances.”Val Chermovskiy agreed, calling the performance “incredible” and even dad Stevie Wonder, blind since birth, couldn’t resist joking:
“It looked good to me!”
“I was watching a beautiful couple twirling around the dance floor, you will remember this moment forever.”
But what really capped the whole thing off?
That father-son hug near the end of the clip. Stevie is clearly proud of his son.“He made a great choice, I am very happy he did and very thankful,” Wonder said.The judges rewarded them with a score of 27 out of 30 and Twitter users were also impressed.
There’s still a few more weeks until the winners are chosen, but we’re betting Mandla and Brightyn will be in among the top contenders! You can watch their dazzling performance in the video below. Featured image by SeriesClips via YouTube videoWow! You R the most blessed young man up there. UR dad has been my favorite singer since one of his first songs, "Finger Tips" Dad has staying power in the music industry. Great job and beautiful smile!

Boy Worried His Autism Would Put Him On The “Naughty” List
Christmas is all about family, love, tradition, and finding yourself. Offering words of support and kindness to those whose self-esteem is a bit down because of various reasons, will help lift the person’s spirit during the most wonderful time of the year. Because, at the end of the day, everyone deserves a perfect holiday spent with those that matter.
Six-year-old Lindon was looking forward to the holiday, but it seemed there was something that bothered this young boy. Luckily, the good old Santa Claus was there to make things right and revive the faith in the magic of Christmas.
When he and his family went to RiverTown Crossings mall in Michigan, Landon couldn’t wait to get closer to the Big Man and ask him an important question.
“Will my autism put me on the naughty list?”The poor boy though his condition could be a reason he’s not getting a present from Santa.
“You know I love you and the reindeer love you and it’s OK. You’re a good boy. You’re a good boy, you know?”Landon felt relieved and happy as he heard exactly what he needed to hear. His nervousness and anxiety faded away as Santa assured him that he was a great boy he would visit on the night of Christmas. The way Santa put it into words made Landon’s mom Naomi shed tears of joy. The Big Man told the little boy that he wasn’t neither better nor worse than others because of his mental state. With only five words Santa made everything right again: “It’s OK to be you!”
“Here was Landon, sitting with Santa and being told that it was ok to be himself. Mommy tells him all the time that he’s special and I love him the way he was made, but it’s always nice to hear it from others.”The reassurance from such an important person warmed their hearts and gave Landon the boost of confidence he was searching for.
“We have met a lot of amazing people in our Autism journey, but this one made the top of the list.”The old man was compassionate and said the right words at the right time. That day, he changed a little boy’s life completely, by making him accept himself the way he was. Once you see the whole story it will leave you in tears, so you better grab a box of tissues while watching.
80-Year-Old Destitute Woman Curled up Days on Street Until Traffic Cop Steps In
There are times in life when we feel like our world turns upside down and there is no way out of the desperate situation we found ourselves in. But, many times, in cases like this, certain people cross our path and enter our life only to remind us that we are not fighting our battles alone, and things aren’t always as bad as they seem.
An Indian traffic police officer is a living proof of this. He entered this old lady’s life and gave her a helping hand in the toughest of times. The 80-year-old woman named Buchamma was found curled up by a Hyderabad roadside nearby the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU). She had apparently spent the last three days there, and no one, except for Mr. B.Gopal, cared enough to offer her at least a glass of water.
“The elderly woman who was seated near JNTUH crossroads reminded me of my mother,”recalled Gopal, reports the New Indian Express.
“I could not stop myself from helping her.”
The kindhearted man felt he could at least buy her a meal.This gesture of Kukatpally traffic PS Home Guard B.Gopal (1275) towards a homeless woman by feeding her at JNTU shakes the heart @cpcybd @cyberabadpolice @TelanganaDGP @TelanganaCMO pic.twitter.com/tL7VO7Vt5J

“I offered her a cup of tea and then bought lunch for her,” says Gopal, reports The Hindu. “But she was unable to even eat with her own hands, so I fed her.”A passerby who witnessed the lovely sight twitted the officer’s kind act and it vent viral for all the right reasons.
“This is called change, not only friendly police, also called social responsibility,” tweeted one man. “Humanity can be clearly seen in this Gentleman,” wrote another. “Hats off B.Gopal.”One person commented:
“It’s people like you who enhance our lives, who make the world a wonderful place, who inspire us to put others first, who help us to overlook the evil. Thank you.”This lady’s life was pretty difficult, and her faith is sad, because she ended up on the streets and then thanks to Mr. B. Gopal she was moved to Anand Ashram, a shelter for the homeless. Besides having nine children, none of them provided for their mother.
Buchamma will have a roof over her head, and regular meals, away from her family. What the officer did not only changed Buchamma’s life, but it restored our faith in humanity. He is everything a person should be, kind, caring, and compassionate. We hope more people will follow his example and will help someone in need.Not just left behind… the old woman is shifted by @cyberabadpolice to *Anandashramam, home, Cherlapally with the help of jail authorities @cpcybd @TelanganaDGP https://t.co/VuOo0MVYZd

Woman’s Mistake Brings A Stranger To Her Home
Katie Egger Markis from Washington D.C was awoken by the sound of her smartphone. An alert from the home security provider told her something unusual was taking place at her front porch. As she was about to head to her teaching workout class, she got up from bed and approached the cameras that were showing a stranger standing at her front door. She has never seen that man before in her life so she sort of freaked out and got suspicious.
“Typically, posted videos from Ring cameras are about package thefts, break ins, people juggling car doors on the street to see what’s open…and our neighborhood list serve is always littered with these this time of year.”
“This guy was nice enough to stop his van, clearly checked the address on the ID and returned it under our mat. Anyone who lives in DC knows this is pretty much unheard of – you drop a wallet, you lose a wallet, and you usually lose everything in your accounts if you’re not quick, too. Counting my blessings today- I’m damn lucky. Random Dallas fan in the plaid with the white van: thank you. You’re what’s right in the world.”We sometimes make assumptions beforehand and later realize how wrong we may end up being, as in this case. Katie is beyond grateful for this man’s act. Take a look at the video below.
This Little Girl Tried To Explain Child Birth To Her Class. This Is Priceless.
Children are the most honest creatures who don’t really care whether you like what they have to say or not. They always speak their mind and that’s one of the reasons we love them so much. Now imagine how teachers may feel like, surrounded by a bunch of smarty pants who are eager to share everything they’ve seen and heard with the whole class. Students definitely tell stories worth sharing, pretty much like the one below.
It’s old, but gold! A must read that will make you burst out laughing.
I’ve been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second-grade classroom a few years back.
Usually, show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it to school and talk about it, they’re welcome.
Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater. She holds up a snapshot of an infant.
“This is Luke, my baby brother, and I’m going to tell you about his birthday. First, Mommy and Daddy made him as a symbol of their love, and then Daddy put a seed in my mother’s stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for 9 months through an umbrella cord.”She’s standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I’m trying not to laugh and wishing I had a video camera rolling. The kids are watching her in amazement.
“Then, about two Saturdays ago, my mother starts going, ‘Oh, oh, oh!”Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans.
“She walked around the house for, like an hour, “Oh, oh, oh!”Now this kid is doing this hysterical duck-walk, holding her back and groaning.
“My father called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn’t have a sign on the car like the Domino’s man. They got my mother to lay down in bed like this.”Erica lies down with her back against the wall.
“And then, pop! My mother had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!”The kid has her legs spread and with her little hands is miming water flowing away. It was too much!
“Then the middle wife starts going push, push, and breathe, breathe. They start counting, but they never even got past 10. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff they said was from the play-center, so there must be a lot of stuff inside there.”Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat. I’m sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, if it’s show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder – just in case another Erica comes along. If you like this story, please share it with friends.
The best obituary ever written in a newspaper. This is spot on.
It seems that nowadays common sense is not that common. People get offended easily, and most of them lost the ability to perceive things in a rational manner. Someone who realized this posted the best obituary ever written in the New York Times.
Read it below:
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
– Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
– Why the early bird gets the worm;
– Life isn’t always fair;
– And maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death,
-by his parents, Truth and Trust,
-by his wife, Discretion,
-by his daughter, Responsibility,
-and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers;
– I Know My Rights
– I Want It Now
– Someone Else Is To Blame
– I’m A Victim
– Pay me for Doing Nothing
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.
Share this with your friends, in loving memory of Common Sense!
