Different people are good at different things, and the fact is that we can never be experts on everything, but possessing basic knowledge about things is simply a must.
A woman waiting in line at Dunkin’ Donuts seems to be lacking general knowledge as she gets into an argument with the cashier over what “a dozen” means. Apparently, when she asked for a dozen donuts, she expected 50, no more, no less!
When the employee tried to explain to her that she’s wrong and that a dozen stands for 12, she got angry.
The person filming her posted the video on TikTok and wrote: “Karen and her “dozen” munchkins,” as the name Karen now stands for someone who tends to get into fights with those around them.
We are sure this video will make you laugh, and if you have ever stumbled upon a “Karen” yourself, you’ll understand what this cashier had to deal with.
For them, saving lives is just another day on the job, but for us, firefighters are our everyday heroes who many times put their own lives on the line for the sake of saving someone else’s.
A video taken some 20 years ago of two firefighters saving a baby from a burning building emerged recently and people praise the hard work and the dedication of the firefighters everywhere.

It shows a home that had gone up in flames on Hebble Avenue in Fairborn, Ohio, and a mother in distress and in anticipation of seeing her child being taken out to safety. As she’s looking at the two firefighters, Bob Swick and Scott Lewis, she finally notices Lewis at the window with baby Chelsea. Swick then takes the little one in his arms and shows incredible presence of mind.
Without even thinking twice, he gets down the ladder backwards while holding Chelsea and performing CPR.

Sweet Chelsea was rushed to the hospital and stayed there for a week because she inhaled an unhealthy amount of the smoke.
Thank you Swick and Lewis. You are a proof that not all heroes wear capes. You can take a look at the incredible video by the Fairborn Fire Department History below.
Brothers Eddie Carter and Ethan Kelly were over the moon when they were finally adopted back in 2007. Little did they know, however, that their life will turn into a living hell under the care of their new parents, Richard and Cynthia Kelly.
The boys were kept locked in the basement, beaten, starved, and intimidated, while everyone else was living in the house.
Around a year after the adoption was complete, the abusive couple decided to give Eddie away, but sadly, his brother left in the house of horror and experienced the unimaginable. During the court hearing against his abusers, Ethan recalled how he was forced to spend 23 hours a day in the basement. There was a camera that didn’t work there, but Richard and Cynthia convinced the boy that they were watching his every move.
Ethan was severely bitten with belts and wooden paddles and was forced to hit his head against the wall. His fragile body was full of open wounds on which the two psychopaths would put salt and alcohol. In the food they gave him, the Kelly’s would often put very hot sauce and made poor Ethan run laps around the house, as reported by AL.com.
“This wasn’t the dream. I cried every night and prayed for Jesus to end it all,” Ethan said in court, as reported by New York Post. “They told me I was a bad child. They told me no one loved me or would ever love me.”
Ethan’s suffering only came to light when he was brought to hospital one day. He was adopted when he was just 11, and was 14 at the time he was seen by the doctors who were left in complete shock by the severity of his health condition. Ethan only weighted 55 pounds.
The Kellys defended themselves by saying that they didn’t mean to hurt him, they only did “what we thought was best.”
Ethan is now an 18-year-old man who is studying at Jefferson County high school. Four years after he was taken to hospital and the story about his life came to light, he faced Richard and Cynthia at court and said: “I’m not who I used to be. I’m not even who I was supposed to be. I lived the story of Cinderella with no happy ending.”
The abusers were only given 2 years in prison.”It would be somewhere in the realm of 20 years to life if I weren’t constrained by the law. But I am,” said Shelby County Circuit Judge William H. Bostick.
As for Ethan, he decided it would be for the best if he left his past behind and do all in his power to move on. As reported by AL.com, his last words to the people who made his life miserable were: “Even though you’ll never say, ‘I’m sorry,’ I forgive you.”
Dads and daughters! The bond created between them stars from the moment the little ones are welcomed into this world and lasts forever. No matter if some argue against it, the fact is that the love between dads and daughters can’t be compared to any other.
If you don’t trust us, just a single glance as baby Arabella and her daddy Zac is enough to convince you otherwise.

Zac is holding his 2-month-old girl in his arms and the two are having the cutest conversation ever. We are glad the mom decided to put this on tape. In fact, the family is taking a bunch of videos of their kids and upload them on their YouTube channel “Sophie & Boys,” and no matter how much we like the content they share, this video is definitely our favorite.
Although Arabella is way too young to be able to speak, it looks as though she is answering back to her dad. We are so sad we don’t understand a “word” she says, but from what we can see, she’s going to grow up into a chatty young lady.

If Ricky Gervais is one of your favorite comedians, his views on poaching and trophy hunting will make you love him even more. Although he is best known for making us laugh because of his incredible sense of humor, this time he is discussing a relatively serious issue and he defends his opinions using language and examples that will make it easy for everyone to understand his point.
He has a word or two to tell the animal killers who, no matter how ironical it sounds, see themselves as conservators of the wildlife.
The brilliant RICKY GERVAIS supports the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting! Do you??
— Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting (@CBTHunting) June 27, 2020
Speaking to The Sun, this incredible man known for his infamous Golden Globes hosting gigs and a prominent supporter of the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting says: “Why are we even having to make the case for banning trophy hunting in the year 2020? It’s hard to think of anything more sickening or senseless than killing an animal for entertainment, then hacking it up so you can display its body parts and brag about it.”

After the killing of Cecil the lion prompted outrage in 2015, everyone believed that trophy hunting would somehow decline, but sadly, it wasn’t the case.
Today, more than five years after that incident, Gervais is again taking a stand and dubs trophy hunting as “humanity at its very worst.”
The Campaign to End Trophy Hunting reports that the number of lions killed in the wild during the last decade by trophy hunters exceeds 10,000. According to them, the number of lions left is only 20,000 and they are now at-risk species.
Luckily, there are some great news coming in as Prime Minister Boris Johnson has “renewed a pledge to ban trophy hunters bringing their sick souvenirs back to Britain,” as reported by the Mirror.
Having children in your lives is a blessing from God, but how you sometimes go about that can be a different path for each one of us, as Mandi and Tyler found out. They always wanted to have children but struggled to get pregnant.
Mandi said:
“After failed pregnancy test and failed pregnancy test, I talked to my doctors …They were still hopeful, but I realized quickly that I couldn’t gain weight. So I’m like, ‘how am I going to be able to carry a child?’” she said.”
“Being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease also complicated their dreams …We kept hearing the cry for foster parents in our area. So we talked about it and prayed about it and we signed up for the classes”
“Once we got licensed as foster-to-adopt parents, that week, we got the phone call for Hunter”
Since then they have dreamed of the day when they would be able to make their own family together.
Mandi went on to say:
“We went and picked him up at Children’s Services. We brought him home and we went through the roller coaster ride of foster care for that entire year”
It was only a year later, with all the uncertainty in between that the Palmers got the word, finally, that they could start the process of adoption.
They did the necessary paperwork at the courthouse and signed all the papers, they were very keen to get everything done and finished.
Madni said that the process was very emotional for her, but in a good way too, and that all their friends and family were there for them too!
Mandi said that:
“At the end of the court process, the judge announced [Hunter’s] new legal name. And they read the adoption decree and that’s when Hunter looked at my husband and he shouted, ‘Dad!’ “
“He just started clapping and everybody just started crying ..It was so emotional. It’s definitely rewarding.”
“It’s nice to look in his eyes now and not have to worry that he’s ever gonna have to leave us again.”
Even though Mandi and her hubby were really hesitant to enter the foster program, Mandi felt like she got a call from God to do it this way, she felt very good about it all!
She said:
“We prayed on it, and we just felt like God pushed us to do it”
Now Mandi feels that she really did the right thing, everything happens for a reason sometimes and Mandi feels her reason was Hunter, now they are complete as a family together.
Please SHARE this lovely story with friends and family and if you too are trying to get pregnant, maybe you could take inspiration from Mandi…
Only those who have ever lost a pet they considered family know the pain behind the thought of never having to hold that creature in their arms again.
K-9 Bodza was an 11-year-old German Shepherd loved and respected by the entire community. He served loyally his entire life and was part of a number of missions outside U.S. Bodza was deployed in Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, and Kuwait and worked as a bomb detection dog with the U.S. Air Force.

Although he was there to protect many members of the military, it was soldier Kyle Smith who created a very close bond with Bodza. The two first met during their deployment in Kyrgyzstan in 2012 and became best of pals.
Speaking to The Dodo, Smith said of his friend: “I loved working with him because he taught me a lot — patience as a young handler, and how to understand that this job isn’t just about you. Bodza was a goofy and gentle dog. We had horse stables directly beside our obedience yard and when [the horses] were out, no obedience was going to be done. He’d run the fence line continuously.”

Unfortunately, brave Bodza was diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy, a disease affecting his spine. That affected his walking and caused him pain with each step he struggled to take.
“His hind limbs lost their use and he could barely stand up anymore, much less walk,” Smith explained. “He couldn’t handle the stress on his body and using the restroom was a task.”
Not wanting to see him suffer any longer, Smith decided it would be for the best if he put Bodza to sleep. The dog died at an El Paso, Texas, clinic.

A number of soldiers were there to pay their tributes and thank Bodza for everything he had done for them. His body was draped in an American flag as a thank you for serving the country.
The photo of Bodza’s body soon went viral and became a representation of all the hard work by the K-9 dogs who are not afraid to lose their lives in order to protect ours’.
