Getting older doesn’t mean you can’t have fun! The Internet is full of fun and engaging videos of elderly people defying time and continuing to do what they love. From dancing up a storm to riding roller-coasters, people everywhere are proving that age truly is just a number – just like the woman in the footage below. At 80-years-old she decided to take a plunge down an awesome waterslide.

When it’s summertime there’s nothing more refreshing than a nice cold pool. This grandma was ready for her dip, but instead of simply tiptoeing in – she thought she’d take the more fun route! She climbed to the top of the waterslide with her loved one who helped get her set up. The girl even handed Nana a camera so she could film herself heading down. And oh boy, are we glad she did!

The moment the 80-year-old sits on the slide with the rushing water, you can almost feel the intense feelings coming through. It’s a mix of excitement, nerves, and maybe secretly a little – oh wow, why am I doing this? But this granny’s a trooper and scoots herself into starting position… In no time it becomes a short ride of thrills, yells, and priceless facial expressions! Watch the video below to see this senior citizen in action. Who says waterslides are just for kids?
It always crosses my mind as to why some people live longer than others. It always seems like people are on a search to find a food that could help you live a long and health life.
The oldest living person died at the age of 122 in 1997. More recently, Giuseppina Projetto reached 116 years old.
When asked for her secret to such a long life, she answered with a shocking response.
People knew her as ‘the nonna of Italy.’ She lived in a village near Florence and had a son who sadly drowned at the age of 39.
She became Europe’s oldest living person in December of 2017.
After her grandson told her the news, she said“Really? And exactly how old Am i? So many?”
She revealed she can’t go a day without chocolate. She claims this food contributed to her long, healthy life.
Despite its high fat and calorie content, chocolate can actually be pretty beneficial. Research has shown that dark chocolate’s antioxidant levels are higher than some superfruit juices!

Weddings celebrate love and partnership. They are special days in every couple’s life that are remembered forever, especially if they are as fun and adorable as Stuart and Vicky’s.
The guests who knew Stuart could have guessed that he had some kind of surprise planned. But when the question, “If I could have the rings, please?” came from vicar Bratton, the small grin on Stuart’s face gave all the guests a strange feeling that Stuart was going to do something unusual. Then, this wedding day in the small country side of the United Kingdom became a hilariously memorable occasion.
YouTube
One week before his wedding with Vicky, Stuart made all the preparations for his elaborate scheme, and the only person he included was the vicar. According to Stuart, he and his brother and best man Robert, have shared many past pranks. The best man’s reaction as he stood next to Stuart and Vicky at the alter showed that Stuart’s plan was really working.

Vicky also expected Stuart to have some extra fun on the wedding day. She was clued in that there would be some sort of surprise, but watch Vicky’s amused expression as she watches Stuart’s plan unfold – this fun loving couple is absolutely perfect for each other. You will not want to miss what happens when Stuart runs out of the church. It was the event that made this joyous occasion all the more fun for Stuart, Vicky, and all of their friends, and it will get you laughing, too!
There are a lot of people out there who struggle to become parents. But, they never lose hope that one day their hands will hold a tiny creature they’ll love with all their heart. The following is a story about a couple who never gave up and who learned about the power of motherhood.
Trisha Long Bell has gone through more in the pursuit to become a mother than most could even imagine. She and her husband of six years have discovered they were pregnant seven times – and seven times their hearts have been destroyed with the news of a miscarriage.
However, even on the darkest of days, God wasn’t through with them. They found this out in a miraculous turn of events after the birth of their second boy.

Trisha and her husband understood they were blessed with the birth of their first son, Urijah. After so many heartbreaking disappointments before, they knew a second child might just be out of the question.
But hoping God would bless them with one more baby, the couple kept trying. Sure enough, Trisha found out she was pregnant again and carried the baby without any major complications – that was, until the day of his birth.
Doctors discovered their newborn son was born without a heartbeat, pulse and any oxygen in his brain, which resulted in severe brain damage. They urged her to “pull the plug” on her infant boy, but Trisha just couldn’t do it. Instead, she listened to her motherly instincts and opted to do something else entirely.
Trisha shared what happened in that hospital room on her Facebook page:
“My baby was born with no heartbeat. No oxygen to the brain. No pulse. He was revived after 11 long minutes.He was diagnosed with severe brain damage.I remember it like it was yesterday, being told my son would have no quality of life… being told to just ‘pull the plug.’I remember sitting in the hospital, praying, hoping, crying. I remember wanting to fix him. I remember feeling so useless, my body had failed my son. I felt broken.”
As a mother, this was the hardest thing Trisha ever had to deal with!

Before giving up on her newborn, Trisha had the urge to do something so motherly and instinctual, she just knew it had to work!
“As I sat next to his bed trying to figure out what I could do to help him, I finally realized there WAS something I could do. As his mother, I knew I could provide the very most important thing that no one else could offer, MY MILK!I didn’t nurse my oldest son, Urijah, for more than 3 months.So with Ezrah I knew this was what I needed to do, without question, no matter how hard it got. He was fighting for his life, and this was the only way I could truly give him my all! I didn’t know if my milk would do much for his injury, but I had so much faith that it would.I had no idea how quickly I would learn the power of Mother’s Milk.It is, simply, pure MAGIC!And Now, 14 months later, I know my milk has played a part in healing my child’s brain injury. I KNOW it. Women’s bodies are SO incredible. The way we are so connected to our children. The way our bodies know exactly what to do during childbirth.The way we heal… And then we choose to do it all over again! It’s incredibly beautiful.This picture [the one displayed above] shows MY MILK healing his little brain. I’ve had 7 miscarriages and this baby is my miracle along with my 3 year old. This picture will forever be so close to my heart.”
The drawing Trisha shared on her Facebook page depicts a mother sharing life with her newborn through her breastmilk. It’s an inspiration to mothers around the world who truly give themselves to their children mind, body and soul!

Trisha and her husband have endured more heartbreak and devastation than most people are forced to deal with throughout their entire lives! Fortunately, they’ve also witnessed the incredible power of motherhood and faith!
Imagine how awful living in a cage your whole life would be. Being held captive and missing out on all life has to offer, even the day to day things we take for granted, would be awful. For Kai and the other Ussuri brown bears, that became their life.
At the age of a cub, somebody snatched Kai from his mom and put him in a cage not much larger than him. For 17 years, all he knew was that cage.
Kai became one of four ‘living exhibits’ at the Ainu Culture Museum on a Japanese Island. Him, 27-year-old female Hanako, male Amu, and his brother Riku all lived in separate cages.
Many years before, they sacrificed bear cubs. No longer sacrificing, the bears get locked up in a cage.
Thankfully, some tourists saw the awful living conditions. They called Wild Welfare, a UK charity, for help.
Because nowhere in Japan would accept the bears, Wild Welfare called Yorkshire Wildlife Park in England. Luckily, they said ‘yes.’
The bears flew nearly 6,000 miles to their new life in the UK. Still, they had no idea what a surprise they had coming.
Now, they have four acres of land to explore. Along with climbing frames, a lake, and a straw bed, the bears now have all the food they need.
Take a look at the moment when Kai realized his freedom:
After he saw his new home, he ran right into the lake.
This must have been the best day of his life!
It seems that nowadays children are not raised as strict as we were back in the old days. When I hear stories of children having no respect for their parents or fellow human beings, it’s something I really can’t abide.
I’m immensely thankful that my parents and grandparents ensured I had a proper upbringing, being taught right from wrong at the earliest possible age.
Passengers on a flight from Germany to the USA were left especially peeved, when they were terrorized for eight hours by a 3-year-old boy and his “demonic cries”
In a YouTube video that has garnered some seven million views, passenger Shane Townley shows how the boy in question was allowed to roam free and cause havoc on the journey.
In the clip, it can clearly be seen how the 3-year-old is left to his own devices, hysterically screaming on a Lufthansa flight from Germany to Newark, USA.
For a total of eight hours, Townley filmed the child, describing him as “demonic” and pointing out what a nuisance he was for other passengers.
YouTube / Inside Edition
Even before the plane took off, the boy was already testing the nerves of the Lufthansa crew, as well as those of his mom and other passengers.
Clambering over several seats, he can be heard repeatedly screaming.
Meanwhile, the child’s mother showed very little regard, instead asking the crew to turn the internet on so he might be distracted.
“Let’s get the WLAN up and running for the iPad to work,” she says.
YouTube / Inside Edition“Calm down, darling”
With a gentle “calm down, darling”, the mother tries to rein in her child, but fails.
After a mere 60 minutes, chaos reigns in the cabin.
Many hours later, his continued screams can be heard. The hours go by and he shows little signs of slowing down, despite his cries growing hoarse.
Although the mom was embarrassed by the situation, she did little to address it properly, instead trying to gently dissuade her son while allowing him to do as he wished, at the expense of the flight crew and passengers.
In the video below, you can see the child’s shocking behavior:
We can all appreciate that it must be difficult to travel with a toddler, but to a let a child continue to behave as in the video above is simply ridiculous.
Please share this post if you agree that children need to be raised with discipline. If you have tips on for the mother of the child in this video, post them in the comments box on Facebook.
Dreams do come true eventually. This story is a proof that when you love something really bad, life will give it to you sooner or later.
Kyle Cropsey’s favorite vehicle was always the Volkswagen microbus. When he was 16 years old, he saw one and he got so fascinated by it so he walked to it and slipped a note inside.
On that day, he was heading to the beach when he spotted a blue van with a white roof. Curious, he got closer to take a look, the owner wasn’t there but he noticed the window was open a crack. That’s when he got an idea.
Kyle wrote a note and slipped it through the window. He did it but he was pretty sure that even if the owner finds it, he wouldn’t care that much and maybe toss it away. Little did he know his note would be answered many so years later. This is a truly fascinating story!
The note had the message “Please call me” with Kyle’s phone number. When he slipped it through the window, he wanted it to land on the driver’s seat, but the note ended up on the floor.
His plan seemed to fail from the beginning. He was disappointed and thought that the whole thing was pointless. Kyle wanted only to satisfy his curiosity about how the vehicle looked from the inside, but after his failed attempt, Kyle gave up the idea of getting in touch with the owner.
Turned out, Kyle was absolutely wrong!
Cornelius, the van’s owner actually found the letter. He didn’t answer it but he did saved it and never threw it away.
8 years later, Kyle got a phone call. It was an unknown number but he answered it. He couldn’t recognize the voice, it was someone he never met or talked to before. However, the phone conversation later changed his life forever.
It was Cornelius’ son on the other end of the line. He had the old VW van! Kyle’s note had survived!
Cornelius had passed away and he left his son all his belongings. But it was his daughter who found the note. It had touched them both so deeply that they decided to try to do something about it….
The siblings thought that since their late father kept the note all that time, he would have wanted Kyle to have his dream car, so they gave it to him! After eight years, his teenage dream had finally come true!
Hear more about this story and see Kyle drive the van in the video below — and please share this story if you also thought it was nice!
It is amazing to witness a dream comes true after these years. Thanks to the kind siblings who were able to fulfill Kyle’s dream!

Being able to bring laughter in someones’s life and brighten someone’s day is a trait possessed only by big-hearted people with extraordinary souls who know that a small act of kindness can go a long way.
A little girl got a wonderful surprise when the local garbage men (bin men) showed up to her house and gave her a gift. Dad and mom filmed the sweet meeting.
Dad writes, “The bin men found out their biggest fan watches them ever week and decided to give her a present – sorry for all the ‘oh my goodness’s’ I was just so happy for her.”
He reveals that he approached the bin men a week earlier and “told them my daughter loves watching them and would the be so kind to just give her a wave next time, we only expected a wave, which is why my daughter shouted ‘he has a present’ and my wife grabbed her to go to the door, we had absolutely no idea and this was all the bin company Greyhound Recycling, the shock and enjoyment experienced by us all is genuine, faith in humanity restored.”
Note: dad revealed that the gentleman giving the present was the driver (and doesn’t touch the bin).
Watch the sweet moment below.
The bin men found out their biggest fan watches them ever week and decided to give her a present -sorry for all the “oh my goodness’s” I was just so happy for her.
