California wildfire scorches over 100,000 acres as crews struggle to contain fast-moving blaze

The largest wildfire in California this year, burning in the central part of the state, is threatening communities and causing significant air quality issues across the region.

According to reports, the Gifford Fire has consumed 117,524 acres across San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties and, as of Sunday afternoon, remains only 32% contained.

The fire started on August 1 and resulted in widespread evacuation orders, with nearly 3,600 firefighters battling the flames amid hot, dry conditions. According to The Fresno Bee, fire response efforts include nearly 100 hand crews, 267 engines, 98 water tenders, 21 helicopters, and 142 bulldozers.

Santa Barbara County Fire Department Capt. Scott Safechuck said, “We have hot weather, and we have low relative humidity,” which prompted the blaze’s “extreme” behavior.

The damage caused by the Gifford Fire has already exceeded that of last month’s Madre Fire in San Luis Obispo County, which burned 80,000 acres before being contained.

According to reports, at least three people have been injured. One civilian sustained burn injuries and was hospitalized, while two private contractors were hurt when their UTV rolled over during firefighting activities. They are now all in stable condition.

Meanwhile, air quality has worsened in surrounding areas. The Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District issued an alert for Cuyama, warning residents to stay indoors, avoid strenuous activity, and use air purifiers or N95 masks when needed—especially those with respiratory conditions, seniors, and pregnant individuals.

The Los Padres National Forest is closed until February 8, 2026, to protect public safety and natural resources. This includes the whole Santa Lucia Ranger District and a section of the Mount Pinos Ranger District, according to KSBY. Also, Highway 166 remains closed between Highway 101 and New Cuyama.

Besides the Gifford Fire, two more fires started, the Rosa Fire in Riverside County and the Gold Fire in San Bernardino County.

Officials are still investigating what sparked the Gifford Fire. Meanwhile, crews are working around the clock to reinforce containment lines, deploy aircraft for water drops, and protect homes in danger.

Mom delivers rainbow baby, only for dad to utter: ‘There’s something wrong’

Andrea West is one very brave mother. She shares her life story of how she lost her baby and the grief and the pain that followed. Many parents who went through the same ordeal felt for her and her husband and were encouraged to speak out loud themselves.

The couple met during their college years and knew they would be spending their life together. They moved in at Andrea’s place in New Jersey, and by October 2006 they were married.

Their life resembled a fairy tale, and learning she was expecting a baby only added to their happiness.

Sadly, just 11 weeks into pregnancy, Andrea suffered miscarriage and her world turned upside-down.

“I was an absolute wreck. I didn’t know what to do, who to talk to, what was appropriate to discuss, or who could help me. Little did I know that 1 in 4 women suffer the same and people just don’t talk about it. I didn’t know if I could ever deal with being pregnant again.”

Love What Matters

Andrea blamed herself for losing her baby for a long time, but her supportive husband was there by her side to assure her everything was going to be alright. Shortly after, Andrea was pregnant again and this time she made sure she did everything right, including controlling her weight by leading healthier life.

“I didn’t drink any diet soda (my life blood), didn’t eat lunch meat, soft cheese, sushi … nothing on the ‘naughty list.’ I followed the blogs and community pages. I read the books and set up my nursery the ‘right’ way. When I found out I was having a boy, my heart grew 3 sizes. I have always had many guy friends and I couldn’t wait to be a ‘boy mom!’”

The couple welcomed their son into the world on 21st September. Andrea gave birth naturally, although she had hardly any amniotic fluid.

They named their rainbow baby Adam, after her husband’s friend who died at the age of 21 from a brain tumor.

These new parents were over the moon, but when the doctor didn’t call Andrea’s husband to cut the umbilical cord, but rushed to do it himself, they felt something was wrong. That’s when the doctor told them some devastating news.

“‘Honey, there is something wrong with Adam’s leg.’ I was exhausted, a bit delirious, and just wanted to hold my baby, but I will never forget my response. ‘I’m sure it’s just a bruise.’ I gave birth in a teaching hospital and before I knew it at least 20 different people were in the room. Doctors, nurses, and students got to see my newborn baby before I got to really see him. They brought him over to me for a few minutes before whisking him off to the NICU. Then… everyone left.”

Love What Matters

At first, no one knew why the baby’s abdomen and part of his leg were all covered in red markings and bruises, but he was eventually diagnosed with a rare vascular malformation known as Cutis Marmorata Telangiectatica Congenita (CMTC). At the time, only 500 cases of this condition have been reported.

In my mind, he was the most beautiful thing I had ever laid my eyes on. My rainbow baby. But, would he be OK? I was euphoric and crushed at the same time.”

Doctors ran all sorts of tests, as well as brain and heart ultrasounds, and Adam passed all of them and was discharged from the hospital.

During the first weeks of his life, Adam had seen many dermatologists, geneticists, and orthopedists. All of the tests these doctors did would come back normal.

Love What Matters

Ever since Adam was born, his parents are researching and learning of his condition. They have attended many conferences, including one at Washington D.C. where they met with other families whose children have this condition.

Most of the people and the doctors there have never heard of CMTC, and Andrea and her husband make sure as many people as possible learn of it.

The only thing these parents were worried about was whether Adam would fit in with the other kids. So far, he’s doing amazingly and does everything his peers do. He’s involved in sports and loves being around his friends.

My son looked me in the eyes and said, ‘We don’t have room for you any more’

The living room was quiet and still. The faint smell of coffee lingered in the air, and the soft ticking of the clock filled the room in a slow, steady rhythm. I was folding laundry when the silence was broken by my son’s words, “We don’t have room for you any more. You need to leave.”

His words felt like a sharp knife. Honestly, I though he was just joking and expected to see him smile when I turned to him. But no, he was as serious as he could be.

“Leave? What do you mean leave?” I asked. “Where would I go at this age?”

My son didn’t answer my question. He just said that he and his wife needed the room. They wanted to turn it into an office.

I looked at my daughter-in-law who was sitting on the sofa, looking at her phone. She heard everything, but she didn’t object, not even a single word. She didn’t even look at me.

My grandson, whom I raised and took care of while my son and his wife were busy living their lives, was busy playing his game. He, just like his mother, stood quiet, as though he didn’t care I was asked to leave.

After years of cooking, cleaning, doing their laundry, and taking care of their son, they no longer needed me.

“You know, there is a retirement home nearby. Maybe you could go there,” my son suggested. But I didn’t say anything. I just went to my room, which was no longer mine, and packed my things.

I got on the bus and headed toward the edge of the city where I found a modest guesthouse by the river and paid for a small, dusty room.

And then, I started thinking. What my son didn’t know was that I had saved a lot of money over the years. Enough to live the rest of my life as comfortably as a wished. And then I remembered. When my late wife and I were young, I always dreamed of owning a small café
that would offer different kinds of pastry. And now, at my sixties, maybe it was time for that dream to finally become a reality.

I didn’t think much before I started looking for a place where I could start my café.

After a couple of days, I found a narrow, dusty shop for rent on a tree-lined street. It was old, falling apart, but charming. A local carpenter repaired the front door and I painted the interior walls myself, choosing gentle shades of lavender and cream. I picked up secondhand furniture and buffed each item until it gleamed. Floating Clouds, a sanctuary for those who, like me, sought a place to belong, was opened.

During the first week, there were no customers, except for a man asking for hot water for his noodles. But I didn’t mind.

The second week, I placed a sign that read, “Free tea for people over 60. You are seen. You are loved,” and people seemed to love it.

It didn’t take long before the word spread around, and over time, my café was crowded, day and night.

Many people my age, and older, stopped by regularly, sharing stories of their youth. Some spoke of their ungrateful children, other remembered their days with their spouses, but all of them felt like they belonged somewhere safe and understood.

The place became so popular that it got featured in the local newspaper, and soon after, I spotted a familiar car pull over.

It was my son, his wife, and my grandson.

They were confused. “I heard of this place, and I learned the owner was…well you. Is that correct?” my son asked me.

“Yes, this is Floating Clouds, my café.”

“But…where did you find the money to open it?” my daughter-in-law had the audacity to ask.

I told them I had saved money over the years, despite paying bills and buying groceries while I lived with them. I also told them of the life insurance payout I received after my wife’s passing.

“Dad, I think you should return home,” my son said.

“Home?” I asked. “Thanks, but no thanks. This is my home now.”

My son got mad at me, but honestly, it didn’t bother me. Not even a bit.

I know they say that revenge is best served cold, but mine came warm, in a cup of hot, fresh coffee. And the best thing? I tasted sweet.

Mom and 4 children killed in fiery crash while traveling to see husband

Reagan Dougan, a mom of four, was taking her children to Florida to see their dad when a tragic crash happened.

As they were driving down I-95 South in McIntosh County, Georgia, the rented SUV they were in collided with another vehicle and burst into flames, killing all five of them.

The children were aged 9, 4, 2, and a 3-month-old baby.

Georgia State Trooper Christopher Ashdown said the SUV struck the rear of a white Infiniti sedan while driving at a high speed. “Seeing how hard the impact was obviously caused the SUV to ignite,” Ashdown added.

The driver of the other vehicle was left with injuries and transferred to a hospital.

Currently, the exact cause of the tragic accident is under investigation.

Christopher “Jonesy” Butler-Jones, a friend of the family, spoke through tears to WTVD: “I’m still in shock. [Her husband] lost his entire family. It’s just heart-wrenching.”

He described Reagan as a devoted mother and an amazing friend. “That was one of her dreams, is to always have an amazing family and be a mother. She was very dedicated. Her kids were everything to her.

“If you’re upset, you can call her and she’s going to make you happy. She’s going to show you the brighter side of it.”

Lindsey Marie, another friend of the late mother of four who tragically lost her life along with her children, said, I can’t imagine what her poor husband and family are feeling. My heart is broken — tomorrow is never promised. I just have no words.

She added: “Rest in peace, angel. You have NO idea how loved you were by so many.”

The family started a GoFundMe page on the behalf of the devastated father, Christian Dougan, to help with the funeral expenses for the mom and children who died in the devastating crash.

“While Christian works with his and Reagan’s family to begin mourning these five beautiful souls, we cannot even fathom the financial burden it is going to endure moving his family from Georgia to their final resting place in Florida,” Christian’s step-mother Stoltman wrote.

Photographer Katrina Cusatis, who had captured maternity photos for the Dougan family last fall, shared her heartbreak on Facebook: “My heart is completely broken over this unimaginable tragedy. Their love, joy, and connection were truly unforgettable.”

President Trump’s FBI announces major arrest

Francisco Javier Román-Bardales, an alleged senior leader of the MS-13 gang whose name was on the list of Trump’s FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted,” was arrested with the help of the Mexican government, FBI Director Kash Patel said.

Román-Bardales is being extradited to the United States, Patel added. He was wanted “for his alleged role in ordering numerous acts of violence against civilians and rival gang members, as well as his role in drug distribution and extortion schemes in the United States and El Salvador.”

In a post on X, Patel dubbed the arrest “a major victory both for our law enforcement partners and for a safer America.”

Javier Roman-Bardales is shown. (FBI)

According to a joint statement from the Attorney General, the Ministry of National Defense, and the National Guard, [47-year-old Román-Bardales, known as Veterano de Tribus] was informed of the reason for his arrest, his legal rights were read to him, and he will be transferred to Mexico City, before the corresponding authority, and subsequently deported to the United States, where he is wanted.”

He has been charged in the US with “conspiracy to provide and conceal material support and resources to terrorists, narco-terrorist conspiracy, racketeering conspiracy and conspiracy to traffic aliens,” according to the CNN.

The Trump administration labeled MS-13, founded in Los Angeles, a terrorist organization, along with other gangs.

Certain officials, both current and former, believe that treating cartels as terrorist organizations could justify direct US intervention against them and their drug production sites in Mexico.

Since President Trump took office, law enforcement has carried out major arrests of gang members. On January 30, 2025, Arnoldo Jimenez, a fugitive wanted on first-degree murder charges, was taken into custody.

On January 25, 2025, Donald Eugene Fields II, wanted on suspicion of child rape and child sex trafficking, was also taken into custody.

Since 2009, the Eastern District of New York has prosecuted hundreds of MS-13 members linked to over 80 murders. Much of the gang’s profits used to support its violent operations in El Salvador came from drug trafficking.

If you see square waves forming in the ocean, get out of the water immediately

There is nothing more stunning that nature. It’s ability to transform is so incredible that it never fails to amaze us.

One of nature’s wonders, which we are mesmerized by, is the unusual phenomena known as cross seas or square waves that form watery grids.

These grids are created when two sets of wave systems blend at different angles greater than 45 degrees, or when the wind pushes waves in one direction and a swell pushes them in another. However, no matter how beautiful these square waves look to the eye, they can be very dangerous for swimmers and ships.

What lurks beneath the breathtaking sight are currents that can wreck ships and pose a threat to people in the water because the water where these chessboard-like patterns occur is extremely difficult to navigate. Scientists believe cross seas is the reason for many boating accidents and shipwrecks.

In 2010, the European Space Agency said, “The conditions are quite common in the ocean and occur when a windsea and a swell, or two swell systems, coexist.”

It pointed to a 2004 study that showed “a large percentage of ship accidents occurred in crossing sea states.”

Along the western coast of France, at the Isle Rhe, this phenomenon is very common. However, as it is extremely dangerous to enter the water when it occurs, tourist get to witness the water grids from a lighthouse on the western part of the island.

Boats and swimmers can struggle to navigate these cross-seas since they can create waves as tall as 10 feet and alter wind patterns. Although this rarely occurs, if it does, avoid boating or swimming because the water conditions could be dangerous.

To learn more of this nature’s incredible phenomenon go to the video below.

She was cold and alone—until a millionaire asked, ‘Can I call you my granddaughter?’

That day, Main Street sparkled with holiday lights, but for some, warmth was just something seen from the outside. At the corner of the street, a girl, not more than six, stood still and looked at the bakery window. She looked hungry, wrapped in a coat too big and wearing soggy sneakers.

The girl’s name was Lily Parker. Her mother told her to wait for her there at the corner but she hadn’t return. I was days that Lily was left on the streets all by herself, with nowhere to go and no one to turn to.

It looked like no one ever noticed the fragile girl — no one but a wealthy businessman Howard Bellamy, who, just like Lily, had no one in the world.

Howard was in his eighties, and following his wife’s passing, he never re-married. That snowy afternoon, while sipping his coffee, he saw Lily and the way her eyes were fixed on the pastry. He realized that she wasn’t just a lost child, but a reflection of his own loneliness.

As kindhearted as he was, Howard got out of the cafe and approached Lily, asking her if she wanted something to eat. She didn’t hesitate before saying, “Yes, sir.”

Howard bought Lily the pastry she couldn’t take her eyes off.

“Where is your family young girl,” he asked her.

“I have my mom,” Lily answered. “She told me to wait for her here, but she still hasn’t returned, and it’s been days.”

Howard realized that her mother abandoned her. Lily was on the streets all by herself, and being just six, she couldn’t stay there much longer without shelter or food.

“Would you mind if I asked you something a little strange?” Howard said.

“No,” Lily answered. “What is it, sir?”

With tears in his eyes, Howard asked, “Can I call you my granddaughter?”

Lily’s hand stopped midair. “You… mean me?”

“Yes, you, young lady.”

Lily didn’t say anything. She just got closer and wrapped her tiny arms around Howard.

That evening, Lily got to sleep in a real bed after days of sleeping on the street. “Goodnight, grandpa,” she told the man who saved her before she drifted to sleep.

The Bellamy home was no longer a place of silence. Instead, it became a lively place and a real home.

After some paperwork and visits to social services, Howard was granted temporary guardianship of Lily while the adoption process moved forward. Though in his eighties, he was determined to provide her a safe, loving home, and authorities agreed, seeing how much he truly cared for Lily.

A year later, at her winter recital, Lily stood nervously with her violin. She looked out and spotted Howard right in the front row.

After she played, she rushed into his arms. “Did I do okay?”

“You were brilliant,” he said.

That year, Howard and Lily founded The Bellamy Foundation for Lost Hearts, a place for kids without families and seniors without visitors.

Their chance encounter and a simple question changed both their lives forever.

My ex-husband gifted our son a rocking horse – When I saw what was inside, I called my lawyer

My son’s eyes widened when he saw the rocking horse his dad, my ex-husband, brought him a few weeks ago. It was indeed a beautiful gift, and while my son, Ethan, couldn’t be happier, I knew that this was yet another present Anthony brought in order to ease the guilt from the messy divorce.

Anyways, I didn’t say anything since Anthony visited often and made sure he brought Ethan plenty of toys and a bunch of other staff.

At first, everything was normal with the plush rocking horse. Ethan loved it and spent hours riding it and giggling. However, after a few days, I started noticing this weird clicking sound. I didn’t pay much attention to it since I thought it was just part of the toy, an old spring or a cheap part maybe, but as days passed by, the sound became louder and louder. And more… rhythmic. So, one night, right after Ethan went to bed and fell asleep, I decided to investigate.

DALL-E

I rolled the horse over and rocked it gently, but the clicking noise didn’t stop. At that point, my heart started pounding. As I reached under, my fingers brushed against something that clearly wasn’t part of the toy. The moment it hit me what it was, my stomach turned.

Anthony had the audacity to place a recorder inside the rocking horse. And it didn’t come as a surprise because I knew he was planning on going after full custody of Ethan, even though it was his cheating that ended our marriage.

I immediately called my lawyer and explained what was going on, but he assured me that those recording would be inadmissible at court.

Although I have never spoken bad about my ex in front of our son and there was nothing that he could use against me at court even if he could, I still decided to replace what was being recorded with hours of bland TV static.

On his next visit, Anthony collected the device in silence, certain it held something that could damage me. Yet after that… nothing. No messages, no legal moves, just silence.

I guess I won without a battle.

Heartbreaking photo shows dog lying on fresh grave — the reason is truly tear-jerking

A family from Tennessee was torn into pieces after 22-year-old James William “Will” Warner was mercilessly killed in the middle of the street and was left there. His girlfriend was also shot, but she managed to survive.

The police identified the killer as 25-year-old Samuel Earl Rich, who is currently in custody in Bedford County as investigation continues. Police had been after Rich for an attempted murder as well.

Will’s mother, Christy West Warner, was left completely heartbroken when she learned the tragic news of her son’s passing.

“It’s like I had an out-of-body experience. I just collapsed,” she told the Tennessean. “My whole world was broken into a million pieces.

“Every second I stayed with Will was a joy,” she added. “He was just larger than life, he was just a good boy. He was so personable.”

The poor woman wasn’t even able to pick a casket as the burial needed to be immediate due to the condition of Will’s body.

“We’ve been robbed of everything. Every last ounce of closure or peace that we could possibly get from saying goodbye, we didn’t get to do.”

Among those who mourned the loss of this young man was Ace, his dog of many years.

The poor animal could sense something was very wrong and he never left the casket. Saying goodbye to his loving owner was very hard.

After the burial, the grieving dog lay down on the grave and refused to move. The sight of this heartbroken dog reminded everyone just how loved Will was.

Source: Facebook/WKRN Julia Palazzo

“(He) loved life and loved people,” Will’s uncle, Tennessee state Rep. Todd Warner, told the Tennessean. “It’s just a tragic ending to something that should’ve never happened.”

Rest in peace, Will. Our hearts go out to the grieving family.

‘Ghost Boy’ wakes up from a coma after 12 years – Then he Reveals his spine-chilling secret

Being trapped inside your own body unable to move or communicate and without anyone, including yourself, realizing you are still there, might sound like the worst nightmare one could ever imagine. 

Sadly, such terrifying stories are some people’s reality.

Martin Pistorius, a 12-year-old boy from South Africa, was struck by a mysterious neurological illness. It didn’t take long before he lost the ability to move and communicate. He simply slipped into an inexplicable comatose state, or at least everyone thought so.

It seemed like he was completely unaware of his surrounding, but that was far from the truth. A few years after he became bed-bounded, he became aware of his condition, but there was nothing he could do as he couldn’t move or speak.

It wasn’t until years later that doctors discovered he was somewhere there, trapped inside his own body.

“My awareness was something that happened gradually, so it wasn’t like one moment I was asleep and the next moment I was awake,” he told All in the Mind. “As my awareness returned, it took me a while to fully comprehend that I was trapped inside my body,” Martin shared after he finally got his life back, although never to the fullest.

We can never imagine what it must feel like to experience something as frightening as what Martin went through.

Today, Martin is able to walk but he never regained back the ability to speak. Instead, his speech is facilitated through a computer-assisted communication.

He is married and runs his own business from his home in Essex, UK.

His life experience was put on paper as Martin wrote a book which turned into a bestseller, Ghost Boy: My escape from a life locked inside my own body, published by Simon & Schuster.

His interview for NBC News has been seen by over 10 million people. For more on his remarkable story go to the video below and don’t forget to SHARE it with your family and friends on Facebook because it’s so worth sharing.

Five words written on my car nearly ended my marriage

When my wife Emily and I left the doctor’s office, I knew our world would change for the best. We were going to become parents. It was the news that we’ve both waited for so long, and now, our wish was finally turning into a reality.

“Honey, this is the best day ever,” I screamed with joy.

I knew nothing could ruin my happiness, but I was so wrong.

The moment we stepped foot out of the doctor’s office, I noticed a strange writing on my car. The words “Hope She Was Worth It” were written all over the left side of it.

“What the hell?” I muttered, heart pounding.

I turned to Emily, she was as confused as I was. “What could this be? Did someone mess up with the wrong car?” I thought to myself.

Emily then tied to defend herself, assuring me that she had nothing to do with that message, and that she wasn’t the one who wrote it.

We got inside the car and headed home, but the thought of that message hunted me.

That evening, Emily spent the night at her parents. I tried to rest and sleep for a while, but I couldn’t. Instead, I got outside and started rubbing the paint the message was written with off the car.

Then, I heard footsteps approaching, and a familiar voice said, “Don’t bother thanking me, you’re welcome.”

I froze.

When I lifted my head I noticed my best friend, Adrian.

“Adrian, what is going on?” I asked, confused.

It was then that Adrian decided to share something with me. Something about Emily.

It turned out that on the day of our engagement party, she disappeared for quite some time. I was busy with the guests and had a few drinks, so I didn’t notice she was absent. While I was unaware of what was happening, all of my friends did notice Emily sneaking from the party. Glances were exchanged, but no one dared to say anything to me.

“I did this because I thought Emily would tell you about that night once she read the message on the car,” Adrian said.

I didn’t want to believe what he was saying, but I was determined to get to the bottom of the story, so I confronted Emily the following day.

As of Adrian, he said he didn’t believe my marriage would last, but now that we were trying for a baby, he knew I was there to stay, so he wanted me to know the truth about my wife.

Whenever I mentioned the message in front of Emily, she tried to assure me that it was just a random act of vandalism, but I knew it wasn’t.

Eventually, when I asked her about the night of our engagement, she burst into tears and confessed she was scared and wanted to leave for good. The thought of getting engaged and getting married was overwhelming. At the time, she wasn’t even sure if I was the one for her.

But, she didn’t cheat on me, and I decided to trust her.

I wouldn’t let that night define the rest of our lives.

Woman who was ‘dead for 17 minutes’ says she saw something she couldn’t imagine

If we do good, we will see Heaven when we die, if not, the Hell awaits us, at least this is something certain religions believe to be true when it comes to the concept of afterlife. Of course, this isn’t something everyone is convinced is true and the truth is that we will never know for sure what happens to our soul after we die.

The hot topic of life after death has been around for so long, and people still have divided opinions about it.

The thought of dying is a scary one, but we are all aware that it is something inevitable. I believe that people convince themselves in the existence of afterlife because that helps accept the concept of death more easily.

Victoria Thomas, now 41, went through a rather unique experience when she was “dead” for 17 minutes after collapsing on the floor during gym session when she was 35.

According to her, she began feeling dizzy after a weightlifting session, told her friend she didn’t feel right, and then suddenly collapsed.

Rowan Griffiths / Daily Mirror

Thomas went into cardiac arrest. Ambulance arrived shortly after, and paramedics started performing CPR but as minuted went by, they believed Thomas’ heart stopped for good.

Recounting what was happening during the 17 minutes until her heart started beating again, Thomas said, “When it happened, it went black and there was nothing, then I became aware of looking down on my body.

“I was floating near the roof and was looking down at myself on the gym floor. My first thought was that my legs looked really fat. And when I looked at a photo of myself taken just minutes before I collapsed, I could see that my legs were actually swollen.

“I didn’t see a light, or feel peaceful, I was just watching myself, and I could see some yellow machines around me.”

Eventually, her heart started beating again and she was rushed to Bristol Royal Infirmary where she remained in a coma for three days and was given a defibrillator to restart her heart if it went into cardiac arrest once more — and it did.

Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce

Over the next few months, this healthy woman’s heart stopped a couple more times, with the defibrillator shocking it back into rhythm each time.

“I went back to playing netball three weeks after it happened, with my defibrillator. It was a shock whenever it went off, but it allowed me to carry on living my normal life, which I was so grateful for,” she told Metro.

In 2021, Thomas got pregnant, and no matter how happy that made her, the pregnancy put pressure on her heart and she started going into cardiac arrest regularly.

Finally, at 24 weeks pregnant, doctors told her what was causing the issues with her heart. It turned out Thomas suffered from Danon disease, a rare genetic disease.

“When I read the letter from the genetics team telling me what I had, I was 24 weeks pregnant with Tommy and I was so shocked, I couldn’t take it in.

“The doctors wanted to deliver Tommy at just 24 weeks, but I persuaded them to let me hang on a few more weeks. If he had been born at 24 weeks then he may not have survived.

“But by the time I was 30 weeks I couldn’t breathe properly because of the fluid build up around my body, so I had to have an emergency caesarean,” she told Metro.

Tommy was delivered as a healthy boy, but Thomas’ heart was damaged even further. Doctors told her it only worked at 11% and she was given just a couple of months to live.

Luckily, she was placed on a list and had a heart transplanted to her successfully at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.

“I’d been in hospital since Tommy’s first birthday in October and now I was finally home with him. I couldn’t believe it,” she told the publication.

Today, she is back to full strength and plays netball four times a week.

Her life story is truly a remarkable one.

Note left by the delivery guy changed my life

Having to balance work, the housework, and taking care of my children, I sometimes feel too overwhelmed and too tired to be able to cook for the family, so it’s not unusual that I sometimes skip preparing dinner and rely on takeout.

Over time, we and our delivery guy, Ravi, became sort of friends.

However, during his last visit, he didn’t seem like he’s usual self. Instead of the friendly greeting I was used to, he didn’t really say anything except for one shy “Hi.”

I found that strange, but I just though he had a bad day or something, so I didn’t say anything.

What was even more strange was the way he hurried when I took the order. It was obvious Ravi was pretty nervous, and I had no idea why. Did it have something to do with my family? Who knew.

But just as I tried getting the food out of the bags, I noticed a note written on one of them. It read, “Check your trash!”

At that very moment, I got scared. Was there something that Ravi knew and I didn’t?

I was hesitant to even open the trash can, but then I finally gathered the courage and what I found inside shook my world — gloves, tools, and a bottle of corrosive liquid.

I alerted the police, who told me not to touch anything until they arrived.

Well, it turned out that the liquid was used to weaken the locks of my house. Someone was planning to rob us.

The following day, we set up cameras. I was still very scared, but thankful to Ravi who warned us about the possible danger.

A couple of days later, I met him while walking around the neighborhood. “Ravi, can I talk to you for a second?” I said.

He approached, but it felt like he was afraid of me. “How did you know we were in danger?” I asked. He then told me he had seen some suspicious people lurking around the house and the trash can.

“You may have saved my family,” I told him.

Cameras or not, I knew we weren’t out of danger. Watching the monitor night after night, a knot of fear sat beside my gratitude — at least we were warned.

I served a rich couple on a plane

That day, Kristi, who worked as a stewardess, witnessed a young couple at the plane who seemed to be very much in love. Just as she was passing by them, she witnessed the man, dressed in an expensive suit and looking gorgeous, gifting the woman a diamond necklace.

The woman was over the moon, giving him kisses and telling him how special he was.

Before the flight was over, the man gave Kristi a generous tip, and the woman, who introduced herself as Isabella, thanked Kristi for her impeccable service.

Midjourney

That evening, although tired and in need of some rest, Kristi stopped by her mother’s place. She was looking forward to spending some time with her mom, who said she had some special news to share with Kristi.

“Mom, I’m home,” Kristi said as she placed her suitcase in the hallway.

“Welcome, honey,” her mom said. “There’s someone I’d like you to meet,” she said.

However, the moment Kristi entered the living room, she experienced the greatest shock. The man standing next to his mother was the same young man from the flight.

“Kristi, this is Edwin. We’ll be getting married in a matter of weeks,” her mom said.

Edwin, who was extremely charming, shook Kristi’s hand, pretending he had never seen her before.

“What is going on?” Kristi thought to herself.

She didn’t want to expose Edwin right there and then because she realized her mom was infatuated by him.

After dinner, while they were at the kitchen, checking on the pie, Kristi asked her mom how good she knew her future husband.

“He’s the son of a tycoon who’s working with diamonds. Oh, honey, he’s the most romantic person I’ve ever met. He’s showering me with so much attention,” her mom bragged.

The following day, Kristi met with her mom again and decided to tell her the truth about Edwin. “Listen, mom. Edwin isn’t who he’s pretending to be. He was on my last flight with another woman. I saw him gifting her an expensive necklace.”

But her mom’s reaction wasn’t what Kristi expected. “How dare you, Kristi?” she yelled. “You are just jealous because you don’t want me to be with another man after your dad’s passing. Why can’t you be happy for me?”

Kristi was heartbroken. Her mom didn’t trust her, and she knew she needed to find a way to expose Edwin.

In the days to come, Kristi managed to track Isabella down. A friend of hers who worked at the airline offices let her see the passengers’ list.

When Kristi contacted Isabella, she agreed to meet her.

“You are the stewardess, aren’t you?” Isabella asked. “Is there anything I can do for you?”

“In fact, there is,” Kristi answered. “The man you were with on the plane. How do you know him?”

Isabella became suspicious. “Why would you like to know that?” she asked.

It was then that Kristi told her that he was in fact her mom’s fiance.

“I could sense he’s a fraud,” Isabella said. “He asked me to borrow him some money – huge money, but I didn’t think he would trick me, you know, because he gifted me a diamond necklace.”

Kristi begged her to help her expose him, and Isabella agreed.

Shutterstock

A couple of days after their meeting, Isabella met Edwin at an expensive restaurant. She thanked him about the necklace he had gifted her on the plane once again and said she would give him the money.

As the two talked over a fine dinner and expensive wine, Isabella spilled the drink on Edwin’s shirt.

“Look what you’ve done,” he said and rushed to the toilet to clean himself.

At that moment, Kristi, who was seated at another table, took Edwin’s phone and went to the lady’s room in order to find evidence of him scamming other women.

But sadly, Edwin realized what was going on and rushed after Kristi, threatening to report her to the police.

Shutterstock

Sadly, that’s exactly what happened. Police intervened and Kristi found herself at the police station.

There was also her mom who was fuming at Kristi, accusing her of wanting to ruin her life and her happiness.

Eventually, Edwin decided not to press charges against Kristi and she was free to leave.

But, Kristi didn’t go home, instead, she went to Isabella’s place and told her that she didn’t manage to find any evidence of Edwin’s fraudulent schemes, but she did manage to get the password of his social media.

Isabella started laughing, telling Kristi to get ready to expose the man from the plane.

They messaged every woman Edwin had previously chatted with and warned them of his deceptive practices. Additionally, they provided them with details of his wedding to Kristi’s mom, telling them they could confront him right there and then.

On the day of the wedding, which gladly didn’t take place, all those women whom Edwin deceived appeared at the ceremony. They started calling him names, to the shock of the guests gathered at the church.

There were over 30 women who accused him of stealing from them.

Edwin didn’t have a choice but to run away, leaving Kristi’s mom at the altar.

Pixabay

Luckily, he didn’t get far as two police officers were waiting for him at the door.

Kristi was glad he was finally exposed.

As of her mom, she was too proud to accept the fact that she made a mistake trusting Edwin. But Kristi still have hopes their relationship would be rebuilt in the future.

Christina Applegate shares raw update from hospital after kidney infection

Always charming Christina Applegate shared her recent health struggle, explaining she was admitted to the hospital with severe kidney infection that started with one of her kidneys but then spread to the other one too.

Applegate, who also has multiple sclerosis, said in an episode of her “MeSsy” podcast, “I’m holding in (a) bag o’ tears right now. Just (a) bag o’ tears. I sometimes fall into the nurse’s arms like a freako, just crying.”

She recorded it while still at the hospital but has since been released.

“I was in the hospital for seven days,” she said. “I’m home now, getting treated for the kidney infection, but my stomach issues are still a mystery we’re trying to solve.”

Flick/Gage Skidmore

She first felt that something was off during a trip to Europe while visiting family. Once she returned, she went straight to the hospital, not wanting to take any chances.

“I was really afraid to go back home and get to the point where I was so bad that like at three in the morning, my poor friend has to drive me, and it’s a Saturday night and it’s going to be horrible,” she said.

“So I was like, ‘I’m going to go and I’m not leaving there until I have some f***ing answers!’ Like, I’m done. Think outside the box. Don’t just leave me there, give me meds, and say, ‘You feel better now. You’re going home.’ I want to know why this is happening, and I want it to stop so that I don’t have to keep coming here.”

It was only after she started experiencing excruciating pain that an emergency CT scan revealed she had a kidney infection.

“I’m here because of this kidney infection, and I have to have intravenous antibiotics right now,” she said on her podcast. “That’s where we’re at. Now they’re thinking it could be something else, and I don’t want to say what they think because I don’t want it to sound scary.”

The Dead to Me star was diagnosed with MS in 2021 and she has been open about her health ever since. She hosts the “MeSsy” podcast with fellow actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who also has MS.

According to NHS, Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that affects the brain and/or spinal cord. It may lead to symptoms such as difficulties with vision, movement of the arms or legs, sensation, or keeping balance.

It’s a lifelong condition that can sometimes cause serious disability. Currently, there is no cure but the symptoms may be managed with treatment.

He knows who’s on the list — and why you haven’t seen it yet…

The case of disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein who killed himself in his cell in 2019 while awaiting trial in federal prison is still very much far from settled and surrounded by controversy. However, it seems that it is very unlikely that the public will get the answers they are eager to get any time soon… or ever.

Recently, the FBI has addressed the conspiracy theories, with Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealing to Fox News that the Intelligence Agency possesses surveillance footage of the night Epstein died.

The footage in question shows no one walking across, towards, or away from Epstein’s cell—except for a guard leaving after escorting him inside—until the morning when he was found unresponsive, the US Justice Department (DoJ) noted. However, the 11-hour-long video is missing a minute, and while Attorney General Pam Bondi attempted to explain the gap, her statement made more harm than good when it comes to shutting down the conspiracy theories regarding the way Epstein died while in federal custody, according to many.

Jeffrey Epstein/ New York State Sex Offender Registry

Bondi insisted the one-minute gap in the video was part of a routine daily reset that takes place at the Metropolitan Detention Center. “The video was not conclusive, but the evidence prior to it was showing he [was not murdered],” she said. Further, she stressed the missing minute is not unique to the Epstein video. “There was a minute that was off the counter, and what we learned from the Bureau of Prisons is every night they redo that video. … Every night should have the same minute missing.”

The FBI also claimed there was no “client list” that allegedly consisted of names who were related to Epstein that he used to blackmail them.

“This systematic review revealed no incriminating ‘client list’. There was also no evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions.

“We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties,” the agency stated.

This, however, contradicts to a statement by attorney Alan Dershowitz in which he alleged he is knows the names on Jeffrey Epstein’s supposed client list tied to claims of an international sex trafficking ring.

He made the statement in March, but since the case is receiving more and more attention by the public, it resurfaced recently.

“I know the names of the individuals. I know why they’re being suppressed, I know who’s suppressing them,” he said on The Sean Spicer Show on March 19, as reported by the Independent. “But I’m bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I can’t disclose what I know,” Dershowitz, who’s former Trump’s lawyer, added.

Spicer reshared the interview with Dershowitz on X, gathering 1.6 million views.

Dershowitz added that he has pushed for “total transparency” in the release of Epstein-related documents.

“Every single document, no redaction. That’s what I’ve said from day one,” he said.

Asked about the content of the “client list” and whether names of business leaders or politicians pop up, he answered, “They’re everything and let me tell you, a lot of them—at least one of them—is somebody who was accused, others are accusers, and the judges have said if somebody calls themselves a victim we’re not going to give any information about them, but they may not be victims, they may be perpetrators…We want total transparency on this.”

Dershowitz played a key role in arranging Epstein’s immunity deal in 2008. He was also part of the legal team that defended Trump in his first impeachment trial, despite previously calling him “more corrupt than Hillary Clinton.”

Mom Gives Birth To Incredibly Special Set Of Triplets

The sudden realization that you’re having triplets would shock most parents, so the moment that doctors told the 23 years old Becki-Jo Allen that she actually has three babies in her tummy, she was completely stunned!

One Becky-Jo had gone through the birth she then got another surprise, one that nobody had any clue about and that was a complete surprise too! As it happened the three babies, baby boys to be precise were really rare…

They were identical triplets!! That’s about one in two hundred million!!!

Becki-Jo Allen and Becki-Jo Allen had some lovely news to share with their daughter Indiana, she was going to be a big sister three times over!

The couple lives just outside Liverpool in England and they had been thinking about having more children, but they weren’t quite sure how many, it looks like some higher force has at least in part helped them make a decision.

The ultrasound really make it clear as day!

Early on in Becki-Jo’s pregnancy she was very sick indeed and had very bad headaches too, that’s when the doctors scheduled her ultrasound just that little bit earlier than usual and it’s because of that they got their shocker triplets news!

Becki-Jo said to the news:

“It was the biggest shock of my life! We haven’t got any triplets in the family so it came completely out of the blue”

The three boys were delivered by Cesarean section in her 31st week of pregnancy, they weighed about 3pounds 5 ounces, their names are Rohan, Roman and Rocco and beautiful they are! There first six weeks was in intensive care until they were a little stronger on their own!

Having triplets usually involves many complications, it’s quite unusual for all three to survive even.

We too, like the parents are very grateful that they did so well, they all gained weight really well too, after just six weeks they were ready and able to go home with mom and dad.

Doctors said that the boys weren’t identical triplets. But everyone who visited the family noticed how incredibly similar the boys were. And so, Becki-Jo decided to look into it further.

They did a private DNA test and samples were sent to a Lab, her question was answered in the result, the three were completely identical genetically!

As in vitro fertilization is becoming more common so are triplets, but normally, and naturally occurring they are extremely rare.

The chances of an egg splitting into two and then for one of these that have split to then spit again and all during the first ten days of pregnancy.

In America, in 2015 there were only four sets of identical triplets born!!

Roman, Rocco, and Rohan really look so amazing, and unsurprisingly similar, however, Becki-Jo has no trouble at all distinguishing between her three sons.

Becki-Jo said:

“It’s only when they’re asleep that they look the same to me. But they all have completely different personalities. And they’ve all got dark birthmarks between their eyebrows, but Roman’s is slightly darker than the others, and Rohan has got a birthmark on his leg as well”

The tree babies go through about 130 diapers every single week, add onto that about 5 packs of wipes, these little ones really keep their parents super busy.

6-year-old Indiana really is happy with her lovely special brothers. What a proud big sister she is!

Becki-Jo said:

“Indiana loves them. She’s not one bit jealous. I do feel a bit sorry for her when I think what it’s going to be like growing up with three little brothers though”

These guys will most certainly get huge amounts of attention for a quite a while. And I think they really do deserve it, how adorable!

You can see how they look like aged 7 here.

Netflix fans are hooked on mind-blowing thriller series with insane twists

Apparently, there is a new binge-worthy sensation on Netflix that viewers find “outrageous” yet “so juicy it hurts.”

The eight-part series The Hunting Wives depicts Sophie, played by Brittany Snow, who moves from Boston to the fictional town of Maple Brook in East Texas with her family looking for a fresh start. There, she’s pulled into the world of a mysterious socialite and her group of wealthy friends.

Full of unexpected twists, the enchanting thriller offers a world of deadly secrets—and after a body is discovered, the newcomer is warned she has ‘no idea what these people are capable of.’

Netflix

The rest of the cast members include Malin Åkerman, Dermot Mulroney, Chrissy Metz and Katie Lowes.

It didn’t take long before the series reached the streaming platform’s Top 10 charts and received a nearly perfect score of 80% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.

It turns out that fans have found The Hunting Wives so intriguing and provocative that the opinions on whether it should be on Netflix or not are divided.

“Talk about a plot twist! I love when I think I have a show figured out and it throws me for a loop,” one person commented. “Mind-blowing. Twists. Texas. 10/10,” another added.

Some, however, found the plot to be rather vulgar, with one person writing, “Vulgar viewing. I couldn’t make it past the first 20 minutes of the first episode.” Another added: “In those 20 minutes a woman uses paper towels as a maxi pad, and makes eye contact with a young man while he is m**turbating in front of his girlfriend. Gross.”

Netflix

Although the series has stirred controversy, creator Rebecca Cutter isn’t backing down.

“It’s so fun, and juicy and s**y. Everyone is behaving so badly,” she told the New York Post. “I wanted to do an exploration of women behaving badly, unapologetic s**ual conquest running rampant, and just something fun.

“I think there’s a fantasy of freedom or power that maybe we don’t feel so much as middle-aged women.”

Cutter added: “I just think TV has evolved.

“It’s rare. I also think it’s real. I have single friends [who are] women of a certain age… young men always are interested in them… that is a very real thing. And so, I think that that’s cool to show.”

The series is so gripping, the fans are praying for a second season.

The Hunting Wives is available to stream on Netflix now.

Woman details experience at $15K ‘orgasm retreat’

Jana Hocking, a sex and dating columnist for the Mail Online, shared a rather intriguing experience after visiting an orgasm retreat.

Unlike most retreats, which offer sessions to promote personal growth, healing, relaxation, or transformation, the one Hocking paid a visit offered something…well, different.

Speaking on the Just Between Us podcast, Jana explained that she attended the Back to Body Sex Retreat in Joshua Tree National Park as part of her columnist assignment, adding that the place is dedicated to women honing in on their own sexual satisfaction.

Jana said the stay cost $15,000 for the entire experience, which made the hosts of the podcast go ‘wow,’ but she added that they are also weekend offers for less than $1,000.

“I thought it would be full of extroverts who were outlandish and wanted to perform in front of each other, but it really wasn’t,” Jana said when she called the podcast.

“They were either getting divorced and realized they hadn’t had a proper orgasm and wanted to right wrongs, while other women were dealing with trauma and needed to learn how to enjoy sex again, which was quite heartbreaking.”

She revealed that the camp was designed to help women learn how to prioritize their own sexual needs. The retreat began with everyone explaining their reasons for attending, though that was the most low-key moment of the entire experience.

The retreat, hosted by the founder Pamela Madsen and her team, moved into tantric meditation.

“We had to hold our vulvas and rock back and forth, either naked or in our underwear, and speak to our vulva and tell it what we wanted, who we wanted to be and what our goals were,” Jana said.

“My goal was to take back ownership of my sexuality because I realized I was performing — I can do a Meg Ryan orgasm like the best of them — but am I having a real orgasm? Am I putting my needs first?”

One session involved Madsen receiving half an hour of foreplay from a male assistant, culminating in orgasm in front of the attendees.

“It just went on so long I got bored,” Jana said, and added that during another tutorial, a urologist offered a hands-on demonstration of female anatomy, using Madsen as the model.

“We all stood around as the urologist kind of pointed at her private parts,” she said. “This is your labia, this is your clit.”

Jana admitted she was the only one who didn’t orgasm at the retreat, but feels more confident and equipped to reach climax in her own time.

She tried to sabotage my entrance exam — My little brother saved the day

That evening, as I was getting ready to go to bed and have some good night sleep, I set my alarms just to be sure I won’t oversleep for my college entrance exam. It was my dream to become a doctor ever since my mom died of cancer. Becoming an oncologist would mean I could save people who battled the same disease, and I felt like it would be the biggest tribute I could pay to my late mom.

In the morning, I woke up without the sound of the alarms disturbing my sleep. But when I grabbed my phone, I realized my alarms were turned off. The entrance exam was starting in a matter of minutes and I was about to miss the only chance of ever enrolling medical school.

I put on my clothes and rushed downstairs. My stepmom, Linda, was having her morning coffee. I told her what had happened and begged her to take me to the exam center. Looking at me with a smile on her face, she said, “You should have set your alarm. But maybe this is a sign that you’re not cut out for med school.”

I couldn’t believe her words. It was as though she was glad I wouldn’t make it.

With no options left, I decided to walk, knowing there was no chance of ever getting on time.

But at that moment, I heard my little brother Jason saying, “Em, I got you covered. Help is on the way.”

I had no idea what he was talking about, but I could hear the sound of police sirens getting louder and louder.

“Em, it was Linda who turned your alarms off. I saw her entering your room during the night.”

Linda then turned to me and said she did it and she didn’t regret it because my dad paying for my medical school was nonsense.

She planned of opening a beauty salon and she believed my dad should have invested the money in her business venture.

At that moment, police knocked on the door and Jason explained the situation, begging them to help me get to my entrance exam on time. One of the officers, a kind woman full of understanding, asked Linda if what Jason said was true. Of course, she denied it.

The two officers looked at each other, and the woman said, “Well, we are here now and it’s our job to help people. Get in the car.”

When we got to the exam center, the exam was about to start. Luckily, something happened and it was delayed for a couple of minutes, but the doors were closed already.

One of the proctors noticed us and approached, looking confused. “Madam, the entrance exam is starting soon and you are late.”

I was still shaking and was unable to explain the reasons behind my lateness. Luckily, the officers stepped in and explained that I was sabotaged by a family member. The proctor’s stern face eased as he listened. He hesitated a bit, but he then nodded his head and let me take my seat.

A few hours later, I exited the entrance room relieved. I was proud of myself and my little brother who was my forever hero.

Once home, my dad gave me a hug and apologized for his wife’s actions. Jason had already explained everything to him, but he wanted to hear the story from me too.

As I spoke, he’s face grew red with anger. He turned to Linda and told her to pack her things. She didn’t belong there any longer, and although my dad was aware of that long before, this was the last straw.

She didn’t even try to apologize. It was obvious she wasn’t sorry and I didn’t feel any compassion for her.

Public reactions stir as social media buzzes over Trump couple’s public display

Donald and Melania Trump attended a premiere of “Les Misérables” performed by understudies at the Kennedy Center in July, and a photo of the event showing the president awkwardly gripping what appears to be only his wife’s thumb as they exited the venue caused a stir on the social media.

Many speculated that the former First Lady was unwilling to hold her husband’s hand, with some suggesting her body language hinted she wasn’t particularly thrilled to be there. The reason for this, according to some was that Melania appeared visibly uncomfortable due to the protests and heckling directed at Trump during the event.

The “thumb-hold” moment quickly became a subject of ridicule across social platforms, triggering a flood of memes, commentary, and theories about the couple’s relationship.

Netizens were quick to point out that this wasn’t the first time the First Lady to avoid holding her husband’s hand, recalling a 2017 incident when she brushed away Trump’s hand during a visit of Israel. Some brought out a similar moment taking place in 2020 when she appeared to pull away during a debate event.

Melania has addressed these public moments in her 2024 memoir Melania, claiming they were commonly misunderstood and usually had more to do with practical circumstances than relationship issues.

Still, people can’t seem to look away from moments like these, turning every awkward gesture into a meme-worthy headline while following every step of the Trump’s closely and turning even the smallest moment into internet drama.

Following Donald Trump’s return to the White House, there have been plenty of speculations regarding his relationship with Melania, including one about their sleeping schedule. According to White House sources, Donald and Melania are “loners” and their relationship is rather “complicated.”

Alexi J. Rosenfeld/Getty Images

Allegedly, there were days when the two would spend their days at the White House without seeing each other.

Michael Wolff, the author of the book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, wrote: “Trump, in fact, found the White House to be vexing and even a little scary.

“He retreated to his own bedroom – the first time since the Kennedy White House that a presidential couple had maintained separate rooms.”

At the time, President Trump dubbed the book “really boring and untruthful.”

However, it wasn’t just Wolff who had presented the claims of the unusual sleeping arrangements.

In a Washington Post feature from 2018, a source disclosed that then-President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump did not share a bedroom.

First lady scholar Annette Dunlap shared with People that the last time couples occupied separate bedrooms in the White House was Patricia and Richard Nixon. Prior to the 1970s, it wasn’t particularly unusual for couples to have separate sleeping arrangements.

“It was kind of a European thing,” Dunlap said at the time. “The idea of sleeping in the same bed together in the late 19th century and into the early 20th century was a symbol of poverty, because you couldn’t afford your own bed or your own bedroom.”

No matter what the truth is, one thing is certain, the Trumps remain endlessly fascinating to the public.

I caught my kids’ nanny getting out of the shower while my husband was home, so I turned on the nanny cam the next day

Upon returning home from work one day, a woman was shocked to see the nanny getting out of the shower. After confronting her, she said that she needed to take a shower because one of the kids spilled the milk on her.

Since this wasn’t a usual situation, the woman demanded a further explanation. The nanny said the kids were napping, so she thought it wouldn’t be a problem to take a shower since she wasn’t really leaving them unattended.

“I still don’t think it’s appropriate for you to shower in my home though,” the woman replied in frustration. The 23-year-old nanny started reassuring her that she did it because she didn’t think it was a big of a deal.

As the two were going back and forth on the matter, the woman’s husband suddenly appeared in the living room. This only made things more twisted as at the time he was supposed to be at work.

The husband sided with the nanny, telling his wife she shouldn’t have been angry over a shower.

The woman was confused. She couldn’t help but think that her husband could be having an affair with the woman whom she paid to babysit her kids.

Filled with doubts, the woman decided to take out the good old nanny cam she used when the children were still babies. She installed it in the living room and waited to see if something odd was taking place behind her back.

The following day, she was looking at the cam when she spotted her husband entering the house. She saw him leaving in the morning. He was supposed to be at work, so why was he home at that time?

Unaware of what was going on, the woman told her boss she wasn’t feeling fine and asked if she could call the day off.

In a hurry, she headed home and saw her husband cooking lunch in the kitchen.

Looking at her, he said, “You are early.” She told him they allowed her to go home early because of a power outage that brought the systems down. He seemed to accept her story before saying, “Honey, I have to tell you something,” sounding like he was guilty of a crime.

Then, he confessed something completely unexpected.

The husband revealed that his company had let him go a week ago due to downsizing. He said that he had been too afraid to tell his wife the truth. So, he had chosen to keep it from her, pretending to go to work instead. In reality, he had been spending his days at home, searching for a new job online and helping around the children.

He then said, “Yesterday indeed our daughter spilled milk on our nanny so I told her to go and wash everything while I was there to take care of the kids who were napping.”

Neighbor calls the cops on two little girls selling lemonade — but she picked the wrong officer

A lemonade stand? Well, there is truly something magical behind the freshly squeezed lemons sold around the neighborhood.

Handing out cups of ice-cold lemonade on a sunny day is a memory stitched into childhood, and honestly, it’s not really about the drink itself but about the giggles, the “buy one, get one free” deals made on a whim, and the pride of earning some money on your own.

Two sisters, six and nine years old, created some hand-made signs, bought a bunch of fresh lemons, and set up a stand next to their home. Wearing matching shirts and crocks, with some music playing in the background, they hoped to have some fun time and make some money.

Many neighbors were eager to stop by and buy some lemonade from them. But one particular woman, who spotted the girls while driving in her SUV, didn’t like the idea of the sisters selling drinks on the corner and called the police, claiming they were “working” without a permit.

When a police officer arrived at the stand, the sisters froze in fear. They believed they were in trouble, but the officer knew better than to close their stand down.

Instead, he bought a cup of the cold drink they were selling and told them he could help them get the permit they needed.

Before that, he walked across the street and knocked on the SUV lady’s door. She opened it with a smug smile, until he let her have it. Calm, clear, and loud enough for the whole neighborhood.

The girls were over the moon by the officer’s act and shared with him that their dad had recently lost his job and they were trying to help him until he figured things out.

It didn’t take long before the story spread around, and the community answered the best they could. The woman from the local bakery offered them free muffins and cookies that they could sell on their stand, and their father was offered a job at the nearby convenience store.

What’s more, the story of kindness and generosity quickly became a source of inspiration for the whole town.

As for the woman who reported the sisters to the police? Well, she soon realized she had acted unreasonably. In fact, she even bought some lemonade and left the girls a generous tip along with a note that read, “Sorry for the rough start. Good luck girls.”

So, next time you come across a child selling lemonade, don’t just walk by but pause and buy a cup. Better yet, get two. Your small gesture can not only change their day, but their life too.
