Punk driver slams snowman with truck, Poetic justice when he learns it’s built on huge stump

What’s better than a snowy winter and some chilly weather that allows us to get out and feel young again by breathing the fresh air while our ears and noses become red from the cold. This definitely brings us to the period when we were kids and lived for the joy of snowball fighting and building a snowman, the true representative of this amazing season. 

Cody Lutz, his fiancée, and his fiancée’s sister decided to have some outdoor fun and came up with the idea of making their yard more appealing, by placing the figure of the biggest snowman they could ever built. 

As soon as they started rolling the bunch of snowflakes that have already covered the whole place, they though that it would be nice if they use the old tree stump as a foundation and cover it with lots of snow in the form of a big ball. This way the snowman would be firmer and hopefully last longer. But they never though that the photo of their creation will reach to so many people for reasons you don’t assume. 

It turned out that some random person who drove past the snowman though it would be nice if they destroyed it. Yes, you’ve heard that right, and if you wonder why someone would feel the urge to knock down such a lovely handiwork, we don’t have the answer. It might be because some people are like that, hating everything that is beautiful.  

“I went to work on Monday and I came home to this Monday night which is (sic) the irony is pretty funny,” Lutz said.

Poetic justice — instant retaliation: The snowman made clear no one should mess with him. 

“This is Petersburg for you,” Lutz posted on Facebook after realizing what had transpired in the front yard. “What they didn’t count on, is the massive stump in the center. Life is hard, but it’s much harder when you’re stupid.”

The person with the truck hit the snowman, trying to crush it down, but ended up hitting the stump. Although we have no idea who the doer of this evil deed is, I guess we can make assumptions by looking at the neighborhood’s vehicles. 

“I think he got the last laugh for sure,” said Lutz, referring to the snowman.

“I accidentally said ‘karma’,” he explained, “since that’s kind of an internet colloquialism for ‘payback,’ but I’m glad Karma doesn’t actually exist. I’m glad that my sins in this life have been forgiven by the blood of Jesus on the cross. Im (sic) glad that through God’s Grace I am free from the guilt of sin in this life and the next! 😊”

No matter what you call it or if you believe in karma or not, this video brings so much laughter and satisfaction because the person got exactly what they deserved. 

4 Abused siblings were about to be split up – Judge’s tears flow when couple adopts all of them

Stories of kids who are not treated by their parents with the love and respect they deserve always sadden our hearts. Although the story of the four siblings Alisia, Bradley, Cody, and Emma started as such, the four of them eventually got their happy ending. 

These kids’ biological parents were abusers of illegal substances and as a result they neglected their children who were now taken away from them and given for adoption. 

The Kansas brothers and sisters were pretty much aware that the chances of the four of them ending up with the same family were equal to none, and that was something they couldn’t cope with.

Splitting them up would be heartbreaking for these siblings that only had each other.

They dreamed of continuing living under the same roof and didn’t want to leave each other’s side. The most likely scenario that was going through their mind was that the girls could end up in one family whereas the boys could end up with another. But this wasn’t certain either.

But as luck would have it, a loving couple crossed the children’s path and made an impact on their lives. 

A couple from Gardner who have recently gotten their licence to become foster parents came across the story of the siblings and somehow felt that it was a sign from God and that they had to step in and do their best to help. Eric and Phyllis Watson were aware that the children wanted to stay together.

“We were thinking one foster child at a time. Maybe two? We weren’t thinking four at once,” Eric recalls.

“The turning point for me was they were going to be split up and I didn’t want to see that.”

“And when he woke up, he said, ‘We’re gonna take the kids,’” Phyllis told. “Eric had thought things over, and couldn’t imagine separating the siblings.”

Eric and Phyllis were a bit hesitant about welcoming four kids all at once, because both of them have full-time jobs and wondered if they would have enough time to devote to each of them.

But, no matter what it took to take care of four children who came into their life all at once, the Watsons were willing to accept. They were now certain they wanted to adopt 17-year-old Alisia, 16 and 15-year-old Bradley and Cody, and the youngest, 11-year-old Emma.

The only thing that stood between the Watson family and their new kids was the official court hearing that would finalize the adoption. 

“Do feel you’ve developed a mother-child relationship? Have you the financial capacity to provide a proper home? Do you understand there are no give-backs here?” the judge asked the new parents, after which they replied with “Yes. Yes. Yes.”

The new parents were looking forward to the new life and they quickly got used to the big family. Although it meant buying a bigger house and a bigger car, it also meant more love and endless happiness. 

The kids’ original grandmother, Susan Bustamente told everyine how the oldest of the siblings, Alicia had always played the role of a mother in the family. 

“She’s been a mother to those kids since she was three years old,’” their grandmother said. “They’ve had a hard life but they’re strong,” she added.

This was the best day in the life of the lovely siblings. They are all nice and well-behaved kids who are beyond grateful to their new parents for not allowing them to be split up.

District Judge Kathleen Sloan, was brought to tears.

“Welcome to the very best hearing that I get to have in this courtroom,” the judge said at the adoption hearing. “The very best hearing that any judge gets to have in this entire courthouse, the very best hearing that any judge gets to have in the entire state of Kansas, the very best hearing that any judge gets to have in the entire United States of America.”

“There is nothing better than an adoption; in part because you all came in here happy and I get to let you leave happier.”

This definitely deserved the praise of everyone in the court room and the judge knew that best. Once the process was finalized, the new, “improved” family got applause in sign of support and a good luck. 

“It’s not what I had planned, but it’s so much better,” Phyllis concluded. “I love them like they are my own.”

This is indeed an amazing story that speaks of the ups and downs life puts on our way. Luckily, these brave siblings got a chance for a better life. 

‘Feral’ rescue dog becomes best friends with hummingbird

The incredible story of Ed Gernon and the dog he adopted is just a proof that every dog out there can make a great pet if given the amount of love and devotion they deserve. 

When this man paid the local shelter a visit, this particular dog caught his eye and despite the staff’s warnings that Rex was a street stray dog that used to get into fights with other canines, Ed decided to give him a chance and adopted him. 

Rex turned out to be the best pet one can ask for.

The bond between these new friends became very strong. They would spend most of their days together, taking long walks, playing fetch, and running around their hometown of Whittier, California. 

During one of their walks something unusual happened. Rex stood in front of a bush and refused to move an inch. Wondering what could be going on, Ed got closer and saw it was a hummingbird laying there on the ground.

It looked as though it was dead, and just as they wanted to proceed, Ed noticed the tiny bird’s heavily breathing. He couldn’t just leave it there, so he took her home with him.

Ed named the bird Hammer and was amazed how his dog who was considered a feral could love and care for this tiny creature so much. 

“It was this little creature. This fragile creature that the whole world wanted to kill and [Rex] was trying to protect her so I thought I’d go the distance,” Gernon said.

In order to nurse her back to health, Ed would feed his new pal Hammer sweet water every fifteen minutes, day and night. This, along with all the attention she was getting, Hammer started flying again. 

“It’s crazy. You live with Tinkerbell. It’s like that’s what this is like,” he said.

Rex and Hammer became best of friends. This lovely bird enjoys spending her days swimming in her friend’s water bowl. As for Rex, he loves watching her having fun. 

Ed is beyond happy seeing his loving pets having so much fun together. He often puts their adventures on tape. 

This is another video showing the two cuddling and enjoying their days.

 

No matter how much both Ed and Rex grew fond of Hammer, he is aware that the bids will eventually leave their home. She would probably want to be around those of her kind and form a family of her own. Ed leaves the house windows open in case Hammer wants to explore the outside world, but so far she opts for staying with her human daddy and her four-legged pal. 

“I rescue this dog. He rescues the bird. The bird rescues all of us in a weird sense and it’s just a miracle,” Gernon said.

This trio might be unusual, but they became inseparable and love each other to the moon and back.

New Mom About To Leave Walmart Empty-Handed – Then a Complete Stranger Steps In

What looked like an ordinary shopping day at Walmart turned into an experience Jason Yoshino will never forget. He was the one who witnessed an act of kindness that left one mother speechless. He shared the video of the encounter online so that we could all see how someone’s day and even life may change because of a good deed. 

We all know the struggle of having a little baby. They really are a real blessing from God and make our lives complete, but the costs related to their upbringing can be huge. That is the reason why many parents are looking forward to coming across different discounts and deals on essentials such as diapers. 

That was exactly what Katie was doing. She visited Walmart in Sioux Falls, South Dakota hoping to buy three boxes of diapers and get a price-match deal. She took the boxes and headed to the register when the cashier told her she could only get a deal on the first box. Unfortunately, that meant Katie was about to leave the store empty-handed. 

But here comes the part of the story that restores our faith in humanity and makes us continue believing there is still good in people. 

An elderly lady of 73 overheard Katie’s conversation with the cashier and just couldn’t allow this mother not to get what she was there for. 

The lady named Carol Flynn, a retired March of Dimes state director, was willing to pay the $120 bill. Katie told her how she couldn’t accept that because it was a lot of money, but Carol insisted.  

According to Jason who “ran to Walmart real quick to grab a few things,” this was something he would never forget, because in this world of cold people who only care for their own needs, seeing something like this is not that common. 

After the video vent viral and melted the hearts of many, Argus Leader contacted kind Carol who described her urge to step in saying:

“I just think we should do things like that. That’s kind of my thinking.”

Jason on the other hand told USA Today:

“You don’t see something like that every day in life. I’ll never forget it, to be honest with you.”

Katie was overwhelmed by the kind act.

“I couldn’t believe it. I was shocked,” she said. “I kept saying thank you and God bless you…Then I walked out in the parking lot and started crying. It just hit me. It was an awesome statement of what God’s love does.”

Carol was rewarded by Walmart, and the diaper’s company gave Katie four boxes of their products. 

This heartwarming story is just a proof that no good deed ever goes unnoticed and what we should do is always pay it forward. 

Doctor refuses to give up on lost cause patient

During our lifetime, we may face certain situations that seem impossible to overcome, so we find ourselves trapped in our personal inability to fight against the odds. But although life is full of unexpected things, we should always remember that it’s hard to beat a person who never gives up, like this brave doctor who did his best to make his patient “come back from the death.”

When the young man was brought to the hospital, he didn’t have pulse and the staff even contacted the coroner, but this particular doctor refused to believe that the young life was lost. What he did changed the way patients like this guy should be treated in the future and raised the question of whether sometimes doctors give up too early when things seem to be “lost.” 

YouTube

 

25-year-old Justin Smith was walking home that cold February night when he collapsed and his body froze. The paramedics assumed he spent around 12 hours laying there on the side of the road in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. 

Upon seeing the situation he was brought in, they knew he was beyond saving. Justin’s father Don who spent hours looking for his son was devastated by what doctors told him. He wasn’t ready to lose his son and refused to believe there was nothing to be done. 

YouTube

 

Justin was then rushed to the Lehigh Valley Hospital where everyone expected from the doctors to declare him dead. But then, all of a sudden, Dr. Gerald stepped in and told the rest of the doctors and Don that he wasn’t willing to give up on Justin just yet. This surprised everyone around who believed that resuscitating someone whose body was frozen and had no pulse nor showed any signs of life was not a logical decision.

Despite the odds, Dr. Gerald performed a risky operation on the patient. Before he was taken to the operation room, Don kissed his son on the forehead and said, “I love you!”

Surprisingly, this operation was the right thing to do. Justin’s body warmed up and his heart started beating again. 

It took this young man 12 days to open his eyes and realize what he had gone through. 

YouTube

 

What this doctor did is beyond believable. Unlike his colleagues, he never lost hope. Many believe that he did what he did because he experienced the loss of a child himself and that affected the way he was perceiving things.

His baby was born prematurely and only lived for several weeks. Maybe his father’s instinct didn’t let him allow another father to experience the pain he did. 

Justin is now aware that he was given a second change that he should grab and hold firmly. He lost his toes, but never lost the wish to live his new life to the fullest. 

NFL player asks shelter for least adoptable dog and here’s who they gave him

Animal shelters are crowded with animals who are in search of a forever home and a family that will love them to the moon and back. But let’s get honest. We are perfectly aware that many potential adopters are looking for young pets that are more or less in a perfect shape. It’s a sad fact that the chances of a senior animal to be adopted are way lower. 

But then, someone like Baltimore Ravens player Ronnie Stanley comes along the way and shows us that this doesn’t have to be the case. His story is just another proof how love and devotion can change the life of the saddest dog.

When he paid BARCS animal shelter a visit, he had an unusual request. He told the staff how he was looking for a very special dog. 

“We are looking for a dog that’s been here a long time and maybe not-so-adoptable,” he said.

There were so many dogs in there who already spent too much time at the shelter, so Stanley, his girlfriend Emily and teammate Alexander Lewis were at the right place. 

The staff showed Ronnie and Emily a few dogs, and they eventually decided to take lovely Winter in.

This is what BARCS wrote on their Facebook page. By the way, it went viral in a blink of an eye. 

“Beautiful Winter is a dog who has spent most of her six years of life falling into sad, unfortunate situations. She was found on a vacant property, on a hot day with no electricity, or open windows. She was dehydrated and extremely frightened. Winter has a long, hanging belly, most likely a result of over breeding–something we see far too often at our shelter. Due to her age, her belly is not something that will ever tighten up. Female dogs with such characteristics are often passed by in our shelter–but not by Ronnie!

Ronnie’s thought on Winter’s belly, as recalled by our volunteers: ‘Well, that’s just what happens when you’ve had babies.’ He was much more interested in getting lots of face kisses from Winter and falling in love, rather than being worried about the appearance of her tummy. What a great guy!”

Winter got a new a lease on life. She got to run around the backyard, take long naps in her parents’ cozy bed, hang around with other dogs, and spend days full of fun. And yes, she even got a new name, Lola. 

 

Stanley agrees that having Lola in his life is a real blessing. He is beyond grateful to the shelter’s staff for matching them with their loving pet. 

He made numerous contributions to BARCS, among which adopting another cute dog named Rico, as well as participating in a fundraising campaign where he matched donations up to $5,000.

Lovely Lola only shows that even senior dogs have a lot to give and we should always give them a chance to spend the rest of their days among people who would do their best for their life to be worth living. 

Hopefully, Stanley and Lola’s love will make other people opt for a senior pet. 

Jared Halley sings unforgettable Billy Joel medley

If you check Jared Halley’s YouTube channel you will come across many unique acapella performances of the songs of many famous singers and groups of all time. This Ohio’s song writer and producer’s work is so entertaining and fun that you will definitely ask for more. The latest video that really caught our attention is that of Billy Joel’s classics. And although we’ve heard many famous artists doing renditions of his songs, you will surely agree that this one is unlike anything you’ve heard so far. 

YouTube

 

Using only his incredible voice, Jared, or better said the five Jareds, covered 19 of the best Billy Joel’s hits. 

The medley starts with our all time favorite “Uptown Girl” from 1983 that depicts what it is like when a backstreet guy falls in love with an uptown girl. 

Then it switches to “You May Be Right,” a song that was on his album Glass House and a huge hit in US and Canada. 

YouTube

 

The next lovey melody that combines in perfect harmony with Jared’s lovely voice is Billy’s single from 1984, “The Longest Time.” The original song features instruments such as bass guitar and drum, but the sound they make is impeccably substituted with the background Jareds snapping fingers to the rhythm of the music. 

Some other songs, among which probably one of your personal favorite are, “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me,” “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” “New York State of Mind,” and “Just The Way You Are.” He also performed “My Life,” “Only The Good Die Young,” “The River of Dreams,” “Big Shot,” and “Honesty.”

YouTube

 

Among all those classics we are all very fond of, Jared included “Piano Man,” the song that got Billy a nickname as that of the song’s title. Through the lyrics of the song, Joel speaks of his experiences and all those people he got to meet while working as a piano player at a bar. The characters he mentions, including a bartender named John and a real-estate novelist named Paul, are actually based on real people. 

We are certain that if Billy Joel himself gets to listen to Jared’s performance, he would definitely love it as much as we do. 

One person writes, “How could anyone not enjoy that? Great vocals!! The talent to put this together is amazing!” and we can’t agree more. 

Trash collectors are about to crush garbage when they hear screams

We can believe that we are good people, but as long as we don’t treat the dependable and the vulnerable with the respect they deserve, we are away from the right to be considered humans.

It’s not that we should all be crazy about cats and dogs, but hurting any animal on purpose is the most despicable thing a person can do.

The following is the story of a poor soul that was severely neglected, but turned a real warrior and got out of the situation as a winner.

Back in 2017, two garbage men from Pennsylvania were on the job, and as they were about to press the button and crush the garbage they put into the garbage truck, a sudden scream prevented them from proceeding. 

They knew something was very wrong so they opened the track lid and came across a sight that broke their hearts into a million pieces. 

A gray cat was laying there, tied up and covered in gasoline. It was petrified and shaking. 

YouTube

Once it was taken at the nearest vet hospital, it was determined that her condition was serious. The cat was malnourished and dehydrated. Actually, the doctors agreed it was the most severe case of neglect they’ve ever seen or heard of. However, they never gave up on Miracle Maisy and provided her with all the help she needed in order to get on her way to recovery. 

She got this name because her survival was a real miracle. We hope she will get to spend the rest of her days surrounded with people who love her to the moon and back.
