They say what goes around comes around, and that is one of the reasons why we should always be kind towards everyone we meet. But not every person is kind. Some are bad, just like this awful thief who tried to steal the wallet from a veteran. But what he didn’t know is that karma would strike back right away.
The incident took place in Stafford, England and was shared by a witness named Martin Burrows who filmed the whole thing. According to him, the thief noticed the pensioner was collecting donations for the Royal British Legion and decided to get the money for himself. But things didn’t really turn as he expected because of a group of bikers who stood for the old man.
The members of the Oxleather Motorcycle Club heard a woman who witnessed the stealing scream, “Stop, thief!”
So just seconds after he mugged the poor veteran, the bikers caught the thief and held him in a headlock until police arrived.
The awful man wanted to turn things around and started screaming how he was assaulted, but all the onlookers were convinced the bikers didn’t really assault him, only tried to teach him a lesson. Thankfully, Martin had it all on tape in case the thief tried to press charges against the bikers.
Soon after, police came at the scene and arrested the thief. He really got what he deserved for stealing from the elderly veteran.
Nowadays, many people believe looks is all that matters. Going under the knife and spending huge amounts of money on facial and body improvements for the sake of looking younger and more attractive is not something new as many people do it.
Carla Bellucci from UK is one of them. This mom of three had plenty of corrective surgeries throughout the years, but what caused stir and outrage is that she wants her 14-year-old daughter Tanisha to do the same.
If you wonder why would a mom force her daughter to undergo many beauty treatments from such young age is because according to her, “ugly people get nowhere.” Luckily, UK laws prohibit cosmetic surgeries on minors, so Tanisha “only” gets regular nail treatments, hair extensions, and eyebrow tinting for what Carla spends around $240-per-month.
But as Carla is determined to make her daughter look more beautiful and have the Kardashian look, she puts $150 on the side each month so that Tanisha could get her lip fillers once she turns 16.
Speaking to Closer Magazine, this 37-year-old mother said, “Tanisha isn’t the most academic of girls, so I don’t really care about her education, unlike with my boys. She will need to rely on her looks to get on in life so she will need to be perfect.”
And yes, if Tanisha is about to resemble the members of the Kardashian clan, she will have to get a surgery to fix her “flat” bottom.
“If she wants to be a successful influencer and reality star then she will have to fit the look of the time – so surgery is the obvious option. She’s good looking, but surgery will make her prettier,” Carla added. She is convinced Tanisha will get new veneers and breast implants once she reaches 18. On top of that, this mother is planning on paying for her daughter’s Brazilian bum-lift, which is highly popular but controversial cosmetic procedure that involves the transfer of fat to help create more fullness in the backside.
This particular procedure has been reported to be extremely risky, but Tanisha doesn’t care much. She says, “I know what I want and I’ll find the best way to get it. Surgery doesn’t worry me. Mum’s had it and she’s fine.”
This mother’s words and actions had people worried. They believe she should teach her daughter that real beauty comes from within. What are your thoughts on this?
If you’ve ever seen the movie “The Legend of 1900,” you know it’s about a kid found on a cruise ship who grew into a remarkable musician abroad the boat. If you loved this story as much as we did, we now present you another person who shares the same talent and has performed on many many cruise ships throughout the years.
Tommy Johnson, or as he calls himself, the real “Boogie Man,” has also worked with a great number of starts. However, his nickname is not related to the mythical creature scaring little children who show disobedience, but to his out-of-this-world piano skill. This “Boogie Man” takes boogie woogie to a completely new level and steals the hearts of pretty much everyone who ever stumble upon his piano playing.
Believe it or not, Tommy taught himself to play the piano when he was just four years old, and at the age of seven, he had his first public performance on The Horace Heidt Show. Two years latter, this music prodigy was featured in Life Magazine. Today, he’s 80 years old, but he’s still charming audiences wherever he appears to perform.
“My intention is to take people of all ages on a magical musical tour where they can forget their everyday troubles and woes and find happiness for an hour or two either in concert or with my CD’s. I am eternally grateful for the gift given to me and I want to share it with you,“ he writes about himself.
He plays with such ease that it makes us believe we could do it as well. His music is smooth and so entertaining that you always want to return for more.
People love his playing and can’t help but comment.
“I wonder what musicians like Mozart and Chopin would think of piano playing like this. Absolutely amazing!”
This video of him playing boogie woogie has gathered more than 6.3 million views.
Boogie woogie is a music genre that gained its popularity during the late 1920s and was developed by the African-American communities in the 1870s. It’s very distinctive and I don’t think there is a single person who doesn’t love listening to it being performed on the piano.
“It brings a giant smile to my face to know that I can make somebody’s day a little brighter with the simple things that I enjoy. I love to hear from you all, no matter how big or small your comments are… they all mean so much to me,” Tommy wrote in a comment.
This will certainly make your day. It’s simply a must see. Incredible man with an incredible talent, so worth watching. Take a look at the real “Boogie man” below.
Since the moment we are born, our parents do all in their power to see us happy and thriving. Many times, they sacrifice a lot to see us turn into decent humans, so when they get old, it’s fair from us to return the favor.
Colette Kingston has always had an amazing relationship with her parents and believe they are the reason she is now the person she is. So when her father passed away, her mom Opal Zucca was left on her own. Colette though it would be for the best if Opal moved in with her and her husband. But knowing how independent her mother is, she knew she would refuse the invite. And that’s exactly what happened.

Although Colette trusted her mom living by herself, she was still worried at times, as Opal was in her late eighties, so she visited her very often.
As time passed by, Opal was diagnosed with dementia and Colette again offered her to move in with her, but she said no again.

Eventually, Colette came up with the idea to install a security camera in front of Opal’s home that would register any movement outside. That’s how she saw her mom being involved in an accident one day. As the elderly lady was trying to move the trashcan away from the street, she slipped and fell, hitting her head.
When Colette saw this, she panicked and rushed to her mom’s place just to see the sanitation worker helping Opal getting on her feet. He then walked Opal inside the house and took the trashcan to the driveway. Colette was very grateful this man, Shelby, stepped in for her mom. From that moment on, Shelby checked on Opal every time he would empty her trashcan.

Colette sees Shelby engaging in conversations with her mom, and she’s happy he became her friend. Knowing he’s around, Colette is at ease and knows her mom is safe. Recently, she posted a video of Opal and Shelby on Facebook. He could be heard saying, “You are looking good. I like that hair. You got it down. I got to work on mine,” and then waves goodbye.

People who have seen the adorable video couldn’t help themselves but comment.
They only have words of praise for this incredibly kind man who makes huge difference in this elderly lady’s life. This are some of the comments:

The Internet used to be the place people reached for whenever they needed instructions or information, but nowadays it seems it’s a place they use to vent their frustrations and many times get into arguments with people they’ve never met. And sometimes, a “simple” math equation can be enough reason for a “war” to start between social media users. If you wonder what we are speaking about hear this.
Just recently, someone posted this on Facebook, 8 ÷ 2(2+2) = ?, and wrote, “only 1 in 1,000,000 can solve this simple equation.” Well, based on the stir it caused, it’s not that simple after all.
Based on what thousands of people commented, the opinions are divided between the following answers, 1 and 16.
Even different calculators give different results.
Of course, not everyone is trying to find the answer to this mysterious math problem. Believe me, many are here because of the comments and people’s arguments.
It turns out that politics isn’t the only topic that makes people feel like they have to share their opinions about. Psychologists say that the huge number of people “fighting” about things like this equation is that they have to show the rest of the online world how smart they are.
Academic Sian Beilock of the University of Chicago says that when these debates of who’s right and who’s wrong make people feel like jerks at the end once they realize they are investing too much time and energy convincing others why their answer is the best one. “Often people feel the most stressed when the audience is made up of people they know. It’s very painful to fall on your face in front of your friends and family,” Beilock explained.
When we were at school, teachers taught us that mathematics is a subject without ambiguity, so how is it possible for a math task to have two different answers? Mathematicians explain that same as the syntax of a language, equations are solved by “reading” them the proper way, or ordering the operations the right way. PEMDAS, which stands for Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction is how we were told operations are ordered. Based on this common knowledge, the answer to this popular equation is 1. But is it really like that?
This simple task really shows the lack of our educational system to teach students the ambiguity and the beauty of the subject of mathematics.
Most of the social media users who provided an answer agree that what is in parenthesis should be calculated first, the problem arouses when they have to decided whether division or multiplication comes next. Based on what you choose to do first, the answer is different, of course.
In such cases, we use the most common standard convention, which says operations are done from from left to right. What it means in this case is that division comes first and the correct answer is 16.
Steven Strogatz, a professor of mathematics at Cornell, said, “No professional mathematician would ever write something so obviously ambiguous. We would insert parentheses to indicate our meaning and to signal whether the division should be carried out first, or the multiplication.”
At the end, we have to agree that our education system many times fails to teach us how to think outside the box, a so-much needed trait for solving many everyday problems.
If you have a bigger family you live with under one roof maybe the social distancing we are forced to respect because of the coronavirus pandemic won’t fall hard on you. Sadly, there are people who live all alone and they find it hard to cope with the lockdowns and not being able to socialize with their family and friends. This is especially true for the elderly citizens, which can be seen from this story about a loving 72-year-old lady from London.

She has always been independent, but now, because of this social distancing thing, she needed the help from her neighbors and she wasn’t afraid to ask for it. Namely, she ran out of books and DVD’s and was getting quite bored without any so she stuck a note on the front door of the building where she resides.
The note, that later vent viral, said how she was spending her days “going round the twist” without any books to read. But will her neighbors be so kind as to answer to this lady’s recquest?

The answer will surprise you.
One of the neighbors, Connie Bliff, who took the photo of the note and later shared it online, rushed upstairs to grab some of her books and DVD’s she believed this lady would find enjoyable. But as she went to her front door, she saw many of the neighbors already offered their books as there was a pile there.
The elderly lady couldn’t believe how kind and generous her neighbors were, so she stuck another note thanking everyone for taking their time and thinking of her.

Maybe this doesn’t sound like much, but it’s obvious it meant the world to this lady.
After Connie shared both notes on Twitter, she didn’t expect so many people to see them and retweet them. Some of the comments said:

This story helped Connie raise awareness of the importance of helping the elderly during these tough times for the humanity. She asked from people to help their lonely neighbors as much as they can.
Don’t forget that even the smallest acts of kindness can truly go a long way.
Did you get the chance to check one of the best YouTube accounts out there, that of Grandma and Ginga? If not, this is your chance to see one of their cutest and most hilarious videos.
These two sisters are living by the rule that no one should ever pay for their stuff, but themselves. They don’t even want to take money from one another. But what happens when one of them tries to buy the other one some hot dogs? Well, you have to check that out yourself.
Genevieve and Arlene, who go by the names Gee and Ginga were driving around with Gee’s daughter when Ginga payed for the hot dogs. Of course, Gee who is the older sister, 104 years old to be exact, was looking for some money in her purse. When she finally found them, she rolled the cash and handed it to Ginga, who is 99 years old. And that’s when their argument started.
“Hey Arlene, take this,” said Gee. But Gee pretended she had no idea why her sister was offering her money and kept asking, “What is it for?” to what Gee answered, “Take it. I’ll tell you later what it’s for.”
Gee insisted her sister take the money as much as Ginga refused to do so. She even tried to persuade her saying, “I’m getting tired holding it.”
At one point, Ginga revealed the very much obvious reason for their senseless “argument” saying, “I bought those hot dogs.”
Gee’s daughter have seen these kinds of situations many times before, so she was just waiting for the outcome of the “money fight” between these lovely sisters.
And yes, as expected, Gee would stop at nothing until she makes Ginga take the money for the food she bought. But when Gee says, “Please take it! You went and got all the hot dogs,” Ginga replies, “So what? I don’t give a shit.”
Someone watching this hilarious video wrote, “Love old people who talk like sailors lol…”
In fact, understanding the next part of their conversation was a bit hard, as all we heard Ginga say is, “You put your rambom buh. I’m not give you no napkins. Gee, I got you napkins. Gee, that haptom bee.” But as the video goes on, we understand she’s trying to threaten her sister that she won’t give her any of the napkins if she continues offering the money.
When the time came for Gee’s daughter to get some gas at the gas station she got out of the car, filled up the tank, and paid for it herself. Of course, she wasn’t ready for another money argument.
The video has been seen by more than 1.4 million people who agree how these two ladies are beyond sweet and hilarious. One person wrote, “One thing I admire about Ginga and that’s after watching all these videos, that she is a class act when it comes to handling money.. never wants free stuff and pays people right back in her own way. Respect!!”

Rosie Schutter isn’t your ordinary 5-year-old girl. She’s a warrior who battled a 5-pound tumor and ended up winner. Now her family is celebrating life and are over the moon to have their sweet daughter home again, healthy and happy.
However, it isn’t just the members of her household who are excited for Rosie to be out of the hospital, but the rest of her family members and friends as well. However, because of the coronavirus pandemic and the social distancing that is taking place all over the world, they weren’t able to visit her in her home. That’s why they came up with a super cool idea, to organize a car parade in front of her house.
Seeing all those people being there just for her made sweet Rosie excited. She felt like a princess and waved at them as she greeted each and every one of the family members and friends with a huge smile on her face.
“It’s been four or five days here where we’ve only been able to video chat. So even just getting my wife and Rosie back home today was super emotional, but just to see our friends and family come by and see her light up, so excited,” said Steve Schuter, Rosie’s father.
Rosie was diagnosed with a rare kidney cancer that affects children some time ago, but had her surgery back in October 2019. Up until this day, she was receiving chemotherapy treatments, and this awesome car parade celebrated her last round of chemo.
All the signs and honks made this girl’s day even better. Steve said how she still has a couple more outpatient treatments, and this parade was the perfect thing to boost her spirit and remind her of how much she’s loved by everyone.
“She’s kind of become her old social self again. So something like this is just right up her alley. Just being able to see everybody and say hi and so I just absolutely love to see how happy it made her,” Steve added.
Take a look at the video of this special celebration below and don’t forget to share it with your friends.
