Although the stereotype that “blondes are dumb” doesn’t do any harm, many times people actually believe this is true and as a result there are many jokes of people, mostly women, with this hair color.
I believe these people are as smart as the rest, (which is even scientifically proven), but the jokes about them always make me laugh really hard.
This one, however, shows that blondes are witty and intelligent and won’t let anyone mess around with them.
A trucker came into a truck stop cafe and placed his order. “I want three flat tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards.”
The brand new blonde waitress, not wanting to appear stupid, went to the Kitchen and said to the cook, “This guy out there just ordered three flat Tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards.
What does he think this place is, an Auto Parts store? “No,” the cook said. “Three flat tires mean three pancakes, a pair of Headlights is two eggs sunny side up, and running boards are 2 slices of Crisp bacon.”
“Oh , OK!” said the blonde. She thought about it for a moment and then Spooned up a bowl of beans and gave it to the customer.
The trucker asked, “What are the beans for, Blondie?”
She replied, “I thought while you were waiting for the flat tires, Headlights and running boards, you might as well gas up!”
The life of the Royals has always been of great interest to the wide public, so it’s not surprising that people can’t wait to get a glimpse or learn something more about Britain’s most famous family.
Back in 2019, Prince William and Kate Middleton shared a rare video of them and their children at Kate’s impeccably breathtaking garden created at the world’s most prestigious flower show, the Chelsea Flower Show, which “features the very best that the gardening world has to offer, from cutting-edge garden design to dazzling floral displays from every corner of the globe,” as put by House Beautiful.

The sneak-peak shared on Instagram shows some adorable moments the family shared, among which one between Prince William and his girl, Charlotte, which reveals his nickname for her. As he’s swinging on a rope, he asks Charlotte to push him and could be heard calling her “Mignonette.”
In French, this cute-sounding word means “small, sweet, and delicate” or “cute.” At the same time, it stands for gentle and kind.
But did you know that Kate also has a nickname for her daughter Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, whose name pays tribute to her great-grandfather, Prince Charles, her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, as well as her grandma Princess Diana?
A mom named Laura-Ann posted on Instagram that she met Kate during the Princess’ trip to Northern Ireland in 2019 and the two engaged in a casual conversation when Kate revealed how she calls her only daughter. “She asked how old Bertie is, and I said he is four and she said, ‘Oh, he’s the same age as Lottie.’ She calls her Lottie!”

That nicknames have always existed in the Royal family speaks the one late Princess Diana gave to her son, Prince William. Apparently, she called him wombat. “When we went to Australia with our parents, and the wombat, you know, that’s the local animal, so I just basically got called that, not because I look like a wombat, or maybe I do,” William said in 2007, according to Marie Claire. “I can’t get rid of it now. It began when I was two.”

According to The Sun, Prince William has a bunch of nicknames for his wife, among which, darling, babe, babykins, and poppet. But it isn’t just William who calls Kate other than her real name, Catherine, which she says she prefers over Kate, but Harry too. It has been revealed recently, that Harry calls his sister-in-law Cath, and we think that’s adorable.
Let’s get honest, most men fall for attractive blondes, and well, this salesman of used cars is not an exception. Although he promised he would hold a Mercedes car for an elderly couple, an attractive blond showed up and he couldn’t resist her so he decided to sell the car to her instead.
He even gave her a huge discount leaving the elderly couple without their car…or maybe not.
Take a look at the story below and get ready to have some laugh!
A retired older couple return to a Mercedes dealership where the salesman has just sold the car they were interested in to a beautiful, leggy, busty blonde in a mini skirt and a halter top. The old man was visibly upset. He spoke to the salesman sharply. “Young man, I thought you said you would hold that car till we raised the $55,000 asking price,” said the older man. “Yet I just heard you closed the deal for $45,000 to the lovely young lady there.”
“And if I remember right, you had insisted there was no way you could discount this model.” The salesman took a deep breath, cleared his throat and reached for a large glass of water. “Well, what can I tell you? She had the cash ready, didn’t need any financing help, and, Sir, just look at her, how could I resist?” replied the grinning salesman sheepishly.
Just then the young woman approached the senior couple and gave the car keys to the old man. “There you go,” she said. “I told you I could get that idiot to lower the price. See you later, Dad!”
A 35-year-old father lost his life after he was stabbed with a knife in the heart. His only guilt was that he intervened in a fight between his cousin, Shakeel Jabbaar, and his half-brother, Montell Williams, with two 17-year-old teenagers.
The deadly incident took place in Sheffield, England.
Right after he was stabbed, Marcus Ramsay was rushed to the Northern General Hospital where he was declared dead.
Over 150 people witnessed the fight. Many say they could clearly see the teenagers carrying knives. One of them slashed Ramsey’s cousin and that is when Ramsey decided to try and stop them from fighting. Sadly, he was then stabbed in the heart.
The 17-year-old suspects have been identified as Isaac Ramsey, not related to Ramsay, and Ruben Moreno.
“There were witnesses around. They say Isaac Ramsey was holding a knife,” Prosecutor David Brooke said of the CCTV footage of the fight. “You will see when we watch the CCTV in particular Isaac Ramsey gesturing towards Montell Williams and Marcus Ramsay and you can also see on the video Ruben Moreno was stood next to Isaac Ramsey with his hand poised and ready on his right hip where he also had a knife.”

According to The Mirror, Brooke further stated that “Both defendants went on the run and neither was arrested until some weeks later. When they were finally arrested, they were interviewed but both made no comments to any questions. Ruben Moreno now admits he did have a knife that night and he used it to stab Marcus Ramsay to death but he now claims he was acting in self-defense.”
Both Isaac Ramsey and Ruben Moreno have been charged in the case of Ramsey. Moreno has been charged with a single charge of murder and Ramsey has been charged with two counts of wounding with intent and possession of an article with a blade or point.
The incident took place in August of last year but the suspects have been charged just recently and they are still awaiting a trial.
According to a report by the Dallas County Medical Examiner, four-year-old Cash Gernon, whose lifeless body was found on the street after he was kidnapped from his crib, died of multiple stab wounds, as reported by local news station CBS DFW.
At the time of his abduction, Cash and his twin brother were living with their dad’s girlfriend who was taking care of them all by herself since the father has been absent from March.
They boy’s mother had no idea where her boys were. It was reported by CBS News that she was searching for them extensively and only found out about their whereabouts after she was informed of her son’s death. As for now, her other son has been reunited with her.
Four-year-old Cash Gernon was kidnapped from his house while he slept. His shirtless body was later discovered by a jogger in a Dallas street. The boy suffered multiple wounds from what police say was an “edged weapon.” Suspect Darriynn Brown has been arrested in this case. pic.twitter.com/ycms5ok8Xc
The suspect, in what was described as a very violent case of kidnapping and murder, is 18-year-old Darriynn Brown. He was identified thanks to the surveillance footage from the home where the victim was living. Brown has been charged with kidnapping and burglary, but more charges are likely “pending results from a forensic analysis,” as reported by The Sun.
The suspect’s mother said he had mental issues but doesn’t believe he’s capable of committing such a cruel act.
The relationship between the suspect and the child or his family hasn’t been revealed yet and the reasons behind the killing remain unknown.
UPDATE: Police said 18-year-old Darriynn Brown has been charged with kidnapping and theft in connection with the death of the 4-year-old, though more charges are expected following “forensic analysis” https://t.co/sb1D0g84n7
The boy was reported missing by his father’s girlfriend at 10.48 a.m. while his body was spotted by a passerby earlier, at 6.40 a.m. In the meantime, police was going door to door in hopes of establishing the boy’s identity.
“The closer I get to it, I can tell it’s a human because I see hands… and I see legs,” the person who alerted the police told CBS DWF. “To see a child covered in blood in the middle of the street? It’s truly traumatizing.”
Brittany Zamora, a former 6th-grade teacher at Las Brisas Academy, was sentenced to 20 years in jail on charges of sexual conduct with a minor, attempted molestation of a child, and public sexual indecency. She pleaded guilty and started serving her sentence in 2019.
The married teacher, 28, started her relationship with a 13-year-old student after the two started chatting on an online instruction school app – Class Craft. Allegedly, she invited her students to chat with her because she was bored, and soon, she and the 13-year-old boy started talking about sex.
One of the texts the teacher sent read: “If I could quit my job and have sex with you all day long, I would.” In another conversation, the boy wrote that he wanted to have sex with her to which she replied: “I know baby! I want you every day with no time limit.”
She would also sent him nude pictures regularly. On one occasion, the two had sex in the school and one of the boy’s friends was forced to be the lookout. Later, he told the police: “They were just doing it. It was very uncomfortable.”
What was going on between Zamora and the 13-year-old boy came to light after his stepmother noticed he was acting strangely and installed a parental monitoring app called “Sentry” on his phone. It alerted her whenever the boy would receive a message including explicit content.
The case was reported to the police and the rest of the students’ parents were alerted of the incident. “It just freaked me out right away,” one of the parents said. “That’s just crazy. I can’t even connect that. That’s wrong.”
During the court hearing, Zamora’s lawyer, Belen Olmeda Guerra, defended her client and tried to put the blame on the boy, describing him as “aggressive” and “obsessive.”
“I have represented Brittany Zamora for almost 16 months and I can tell you that she is not a monster. Brittany is not a predator and this was not between a young child and Brittany,” she attorney said, as per The Sun. “This was a teenager…She is not a danger to society.”
Zamora will also have to register as a sex offender.
A two-month-old baby named Kyon Jones went missing on May 5, but the case was only reported to the authorities two days later.
The search was very extensive, with a huge number of officers searching various Virginia landfills that accept DC Metro trash and rummaging through dumpsters and garbage trucks servicing the DC area.
The baby has been described as “a black male infant, with brown hair and brown eyes.” Not much information had been released except for the fact that the little one was last seen on Wednesday on the 1500 Block of Benning Road NE and that his mother remains “the sole person of interest,” as per District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser.
“They are early in the investigation,” said Mayor Bowser. “She’s the only person of interest. She is not [in custody],” he said when asked about the baby’s mother on Monday, according to according to WRIC.
However, more news on the case came May 11, as ABC 13 News reported that the child’s mother confessed that she put the dead child in a dumpster after she found him not breathing. Allegedly, it was the boy’s father who reported the case of a missing child after the boy’s mom, 37-year-old Ladonia Boggs, told him he couldn’t pick him up because someone from the Child Protective Services already did so.
He got suspicious and alerted the DC’s Child and Family Services Agency and the police. When they initially confronted the mother, she stood by the claim that her child was taken away by the Services, which of course was proved right away not to be true.
Boggs was arrested on felony murder charges, but the only charges discusses at court were those related to tampering with evidence. She, however, is still facing murder charges and is expected to get back in court in November, as reported by ABC 13 News.

Those people who dedicate a great deal of their time and life to saving animals in need of help and changing their lives for the better deserve special place in Heaven.
The staff at one of the best animal rescue organizations there are, Howl of a Dog, are those types of people who would go to great lengths to rescue as many homeless and vulnerable animals as possible. The video of one of their latest rescue missions is so touching that we can’t help but shed tears of joy for the sweet dog named Arnia who was given a new lease on life.
Arnia and her friends were forced to fend for themselves and lived in the yard of a rundown garage. The day they were rescued was a cold one, and the four dogs were found lying on a pile of tiles.
Source: YouTube Screenshot/ Howl of a Dog
Arnia’s health condition was very bad. She was emaciated, anemic and dehydrated, and was diagnosed with muscular spasms and giardiasis. She weighted only 13 pounds, which is half the normal weight of a canine her size.
After her rescue, Arnia, whose name means ‘as strong as an eagle,’ got a bath and was given food.
It only took one month for this gentle and beautiful dog to undergo an incredible transformation. She got used to be around other dogs and is now happier than she could ever be.
Although Arnia is in Romania, she can be adopted internationally. If you want to learn more about her story and the rescue organization check out the video below.
A man from the German city of Schweinfurt has been arrested on suspicion of selling his 12-year-old step-daughter to truck drivers for five euros and a pack of cigarettes.
The story of the girl who was subjected to horrible emotional and sexual abuse angered millions who heard of her ordeal.
The evil stepfather, Thomas S, 49, was reported to have sold his stepdaughter to over 70 people. He would take her at motorway service stations and offer her to truckers claiming he was doing that “to make her confident about her own body.” He was arrested after one of the truck drivers Thomas approached and offered his stepdaughter to called the police and reported him, as per The Sun.
At the time of his arrest, Thomas and the girl were inside an Audi at a motorway station.
According to witnesses, the girl was abused by a Romanian truck driver named Hartmut N three days prior to Thomas’ arrest. Allegedly, Thomas filmed the assault on his iPhone and used the video to incriminate Hartmut N who is now also in custody and awaiting a separate trial, as reported by The Sun.
Investigation revealed that the girl was violated 72 times, details of which were read in court. The prosecutor revealed that the girl’s mother, Brigitte, 39, who was given custody of her daughter from the girl’s biological father at a family court in Bad Kissingen, was well aware of everything that was going on.
According to The Sun, Prosecutor Gabriel Seuffert said in court that Brigitte and Thomas also abused the girl and forced her to walk naked around the house “in order to have fun exploring her own body in the future.”
Stepdad ‘sold his young daughter to 70 truck drivers for a pack of cigarettes’ https://t.co/BguVberX2V
Thomas pleaded guilty. He didn’t even try defending himself, and even if he did, everything spoke against him, including the videos of the cases of abuse and the naked photos of his stepdaughter.
The girl is currently placed in an orphanage and is getting treatments which would hopefully help her overcome the trauma she was forced to suffer. As for the wrongdoers, we hope they rot in jail.
We often say that there is nothing a parent wouldn’t do for the well-being of their children, but the great thing is that the same counts for the children.
A four-year-old boy named Essa, from Nottingham, England, did something amazing for his mother when she needed it the most. Namely, his mom Charlotte Khan suffered a seizure at home, felt, and cut her head. Unfortunately, she lost consciousness and there was no one around except for her son who could help her.
Source: Facebook
Quick-thinking Essa, who is experiencing speech difficulties, grabbed his police-car toy, read the emergency services number written on it, and called the police.
The phone call lasted for 17 minutes and Essa struggled to explain what had happened and why he was looking for help. He was able to pronounce short sentences such as “muma fall down” and “muma hurt.” Luckily, it was more than enough for the officers to act, as per The Sun.

Four officers and an ambulance arrived at the Khans home and were able to help Charlotte.
“When the police came they were able to wake me up and without them coming I don’t know how long I would have been unconscious for. I am so proud of him. Even the police were saying that they couldn’t believe what he had managed to do,” mom Charlotte told The Sun.
PC Reece Morris, from Nottinghamshire Police, said: “For such a young lad he really did a fantastic job for his mom and should be really proud of himself.
“He kept calm, remembered what he’d learned about the police and did exactly the right thing.”
That the global warming is a real thing which poses threat to our Planet is something we should all be aware of, the sooner the better. In fact, there are a great number of organizations that do the best of their abilities to find a solution to this problem and raise awareness of the negative consequences it might have on the Earth. Of course, there are also those who are still convinced that global warming is just a hoax and don’t do anything in order to reduce their environmental footprint.
A large group of activists who decided to protest against the climate changes found themselves in a big, smelly trouble.

Namely, the group protested against genetically modified foods by placing tents on a farmer’s private property.
The farmer wasn’t happy about all those people invading his space so he asked them multiple times to leave his farm, but to no avail. Not only they didn’t leave, but they invited more people over. That is when the farmer decided he had it enough and took matters into his own hands.
Believe it or not, he hooked a septic trailer to his tractor, headed to where the protesters were, and sprayed them with the sewage from his farm. Needless to say, they were so disgusted that they had no other choice but to leave the farmer’s land.
Source: YouTube Screenshot
Once the Internet community heard of what had happened, the story went viral. Some people defended the farmer and believed he had the right to act as he did while others said that he went too far and could have handled the situation more “gently.”
You can take a look at the whole story in the video below. What are your thoughts?
After the death of Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, who was a loyal husband of 73 years to Her Majesty The Queen, things started taking a different turn in the royal family.
Royal experts believe that Queen Elizabeth will “fade away” as Prince Charles will be given more duties and more freedom when it comes to making decisions about the family. One of the things experts believe will happen after he succeeds the throne is to ditch his son Harry and his daughter-in-law Meghan from the family. In fact, Prince Charles has been planning on “cutting the monarchy down to save costs and to make people be worth the money that they got from the taxpayer,” as reported by the Express, quoting Angela Levin, a royal expert.

However, not only Charles, but Prince William is as well expected to step up helping his grandmother who has been reigning for almost 70 years.
“Her family will step up and be by her side, but she will carry on,” a source told People in early April.
“She understands that she has a job to do, and [Philip] would have wanted her to crack on. She did do so when he retired from public life. She will never abdicate because of duty and honor and public service is so deep in her, as it was for him.”

However, according to former BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt, Queen Elizabeth will retract from the spotlight and will likely attend meetings at Buckingham Palace just two days a week only, and leave the receptions, the garden parties, and other events to Prince Charles to host.
Her Majesty had her first public appearance on Tuesday of last week when she attended the formal opening of the British Parliament. However, now that her husband of many years is not by her side, the ceremony looked very different for the Queen. Instead of wearing a formal robe and her Imperial State Crown, she was dressed in a lilac colored outfit and a hat.

She arrived in her car, instead in a coach, and was accompanied by Prince Charles and Camilla. What also caught the eye of the press and the public is that the throne Prince Philip used to sit in was removed after 120 years. It was first installed into the Lords’ chamber for Queen Alexandra, the wife of King Edward VII, back in 1901.
Prince Charles didn’t sit next to his mother because of the strict COVID-19 regulations. Only 108 members were present, all wearing masks and having shown negative test results beforehand.
We are very glad the Queen is back to her public duties and among her people.
Ever since then 4-year-old Madeleine McCann went missing from an apartment in Praia da Luz, in Portugal, while her parents were out having dinner, her case became “the most heavily reported missing-person case in modern history.”
Sadly, 14 years later, no one knows where Madeleine could be or whether she’s still alive, although her parents and her family never lost hope of ever seeing her again.
On May 12, what would have been her 18th birthday, her devastated parents shared a heart-wrenching message. “We love you and we’re waiting for you and we’re never going to give up.”
Unfortunately, detectives who are working on Madeleine’s case believe the girl had been murdered. German prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters allegedly said that he believes the suspect in the case, Christian Brueckner, didn’t move the girl from Praia da Luz to Germany as many believe, but executed her in Portugal, as reported by the Evening Standard Newspaper. “I am optimistic we will solve this case,” Wolters added.
The prime suspect in the case, German pedophile Christian Brueckner, 44, is currently serving a seven-year sentence for raping a 72-year-old American in Praia da Luz in 2005. At the same time, he’s awaiting a trial for a separate case in which he’s charged for raping an Irish tour rep in 2004.

The investigation, which is still treated as a missing person inquiry, is ongoing.
We can’t imagine the pain Madeleine’s family is experiencing each and every day. We truly hope they will be reunited with their daughter, or will at least get a closure.
Whenever I am scrolling through my Facebook account, I can’t help but notice how lots of people who spend their time on social networking sites use them for the sole purpose of posting negative and offensive comments.
It seems to me that most of us feed our ego by making others feel less worthy, and that’s really devastating.
Unfortunately, this is true in real life, too. We’ve become selfish and ignorant, and only think of our own needs and interests. That is why whenever we stumble of stories where we witness people showing empathy and compassion, we feel like there is still chance for this world to become a better place.
The following story is there to remind you that kindness is still there, among us, and to restore your faith in humanity. It was shared by a mom who witnessed the good deed done by a Walmart employee. It goes like this:
Following my appointment this morning to check on our growing baby boy, my husband and I stopped at Walmart in Evans to pick up a couple of things. As we were walking to the refrigerated section, we noticed a woman who had passed out and fallen on the floor. Being a registered nurse, my first instinct was of course to stop, assess, and be there to help. She had regained orientation, but did say she was on blood thinners and felt dizzy. So I stayed with her, along with her daughter and the Walmart personnel, until the ambulance came and tried to encourage her to stay seated. The Walmart staff was amazing. They kept in contact with dispatch as we waited on the bus to arrive.
Then there was Jason. I don’t know his last name, but this man, no questions asked got down on the floor with this woman and supported her back so she could lean against him. He literally got down on the floor to serve her, not because he was asked to do it, he wasn’t, but because he wanted to.
The media lately shows our country divided, filled with hate and racial tension, but this right here was one human being loving and serving another without condition of race or obligation. While we waited, another man stopped, knelt down and prayed over this woman. What I experienced today was love, kindness, and serving. We are human beings, each and every one of us regardless of how much pigmentation our skin has or doesn’t have. I couldn’t help but share because the media doesn’t seem to report this… the unity and the positive that occurs. This right here is real life, this is what it’s all about, not hate.
Isn’t this a fantastic thing to hear? Please share it with your loved ones!
We always tend to teach our children that they should never mock anyone for their physical appearance, but regardless, they often bully others for the way they look.
Evan Hill from New Zealand had a tough time coping with the way his classmates treated him. He was bullied and called names such as “rabbit boy” because of his front teeth who were pretty large. Not only it led for him to be a victim of bullying, but it also caused him troubles closing his mouth entirely.
His parents were well-aware of what their boy was going through but they couldn’t do much because they couldn’t afford to pay for an operation.
It wasn’t until a magazine decided to publish Evan’s story that people heard of his struggles and felt sorry for him. It touched complete strangers to the extent that they started fundraising campaign to help him collect the money needed to change his life.
“I don’t know where we would have been today without the generosity we had,” Evan’s mother told Newshub.
Hundreds of people donated to the noble cause of helping a young boy feel confident about himself.
After the surgery was paid for, there was still money left so Evan’s family donated it to a charity that helps children get the surgeries they can’t afford.
The transformation is simply incredible. Evan now looks like a completely new boy who’s happy with the way he looks.
Take a look at it in the video below and make sure you share it with your friends. Maybe you will inspire someone to donate money for children in need of medical help.
When you are away from home, the only thing that makes you feel like you’ve never left are the letters that your parents send you. They are always filled with touching words of love and encouragement that are likely to melt your heart.
But is it always like that? Well, apparently not, as some moms are so redneck that they are likely to write something like the letter you can take a look at below. You’re gonna love it as it will make you burst out laughing!
Dearest Son,
I’m writing this slow ’cause I know you can’t read fast. We don’t live where we did when you left. Your dad read in the paper that most accidents happen within twenty miles of home, so we moved. Won’t be able to send you the address as the last Arkansas family that lived here took the numbers with them for their house, so they wouldn’t have to change their address.
This place has a washing machine. The first day I put four shirts in it, pulled the chain and haven’t seen ’em since. It only rained twice this week, three days the first time and four days the second time.
The coat you wanted me to send to you, Aunt Sue said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with them heavy buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets. We got a bill from the funeral home, and it said if we didn’t make the final payment on Grandma’s funeral bill, up she comes.
About your sister, she had a baby this morning. I haven’t found out whether if it is a boy or a girl so don’t know if you are an Aunt or Uncle. Your Uncle John fell in the whiskey vat. Some men tried to get him out, but he fought them off playfully, so he drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days.
Three of your friends went off the bridge in a pickup. One was driving and the other two were in the back. The driver got out. He rolled down the window and swam to safery. The other 2 drowned. They couldn’t get the tail gate down.
Not much more news this time. Nothing much happened. If you don’t get this letter, please let me know and I will send another one.
Love,
Ma
P.S. I was going to send you some money, but the envelope was already sealed.
If you believed that cats and dogs are sworn enemies, you might be living in a lie, well at least based on this incredibly cute and heartwarming story.
Leo is a hero Jack Russell coming from Melbourne, Australia. Why he was dubbed one is because he risked his own life for that of his feline siblings. Namely, the house where Leo and the kittens lived caught fire which spread throughout the entire place in a blink of an eye. His human mommy managed to take her kids out before it was too late, but failed to place the four-legged family members to safety.
Source: YouTube Screenshot/ All About Animals
Luckily, Leo was there to save the kittens from certain death. Although he was aware he was at risk, the dog refused to leave the kittens’ side and barked as loud as he could hoping that someone would hear his cries for help. And that is exactly what happened. Thanks to his barking, the firefighters could locate the animals just before the house became engulfed in flames.
Because of the smoke, Leo lost consciousness, but the firefighters managed to revive him. He was given a heart massage and an oxygen mask.

Speaking of his brave act, Ken Brown of Metropolitan Fire Brigade told The Telegraph: “Leo wouldn’t leave the kittens and it nearly cost him his life.”
You can take a look at the whole story in the video below. Leo thanks for your courageous act.
Ashlyn Faye Bell, a 26-year-old mother who worked as a teacher’s aide at the Texas High School in Texarkana was sentenced to 4 years in prison after she was found guilty of two counts of improper relationship between educator and student involving two 17-year-old boys as well as two counts of sexual assault of a child involving a 16-year-old boy, according to Texarkana Gazette.
The truth about Bell’s relationship with the minors who were attending her school only came to light after the boys were heard talking about it and one of them showed concerns of possibly having impregnating Bell.
The teacher who overheard the conversation alerted the police and Bell was arrested shortly after.
According to Texarkana Today, one of the boys got involved with Bell after chatting with her online. Later, they met at a truck stop where Bell arrived to pick him up. Apparently, her baby was in the backseat. Once she and the boy arrived in her home, the two had a sexual intercourse.
The other 17-year-old student had sexual relations with Bell at the time she was his tutor.
Bell and the 16-year-old boy also slept together in her house. The first time after a Texas High football game and later again during the weekend.
When she appeared at court, Bell first claimed that the boys were lying about being persuaded by her on the social media. She then said she didn’t know they were minors and believed they were all 18 years old, and finally, she claimed she had no idea she wasn’t supposed to have sex with them as she was convinced the Texarkana Independent School District policy only prohibited teachers from having sex with students and not the rest of the school’s employees.
Being a homeless person without any income means struggling to find food, among the rest. Sadly, sometimes it even means going through the garbage of the nearby restaurants looking for leftovers.
Unfortunately, this sight isn’t that uncommon because the number of people without a roof over their head in the United States is staggering. Although we as individuals can’t do much to change the general situation, we can always step in and offer as much as we can, just like the general manager of Little Caesars pizza place.
A homeless man was trying to find some food in the restaurant’s dumpster and instead of kicking him off the property, Michelle Lussier did something amazing.
Wikimedia Commons
The employees at the popular pizza chain knew the man already. He would stop by their bin from time to time and it lasted for a long time. He would grab some food scraps and leave. Whenever someone from the staff would go outside and offer something to eat he would hurry away in embarrassment.
After months of trying to help the man, the manager and the staffers posted a note in the window that read:
“To the person going through our trash for their next meal, you’re a human being and worth more than a meal from the dumpster. Please come in during operating hours for a couple of slices of hot pizza and a cup of water at no charge.
No questions asked.”

The kindhearted employees at Little Caesars believe that everyone, no matter if rich or poor, should dine with dignity. That is why they made the decision to offer the homeless real pizza; hot and made just for them.
The restaurant donates the leftover pizza to the local food pantry so that more people who can’t afford to buy food can have a nice meal. Inside the place, there is a donation box for these vulnerable individuals who struggle to make ends meet.

This is an amazing gesture. People like this pizza place owner and his employees are the reason why our faith in humanity is restored.
We are all human beings – and no bottom line should ever stop us from caring for each other.
According to some royal experts, unlike The Queen and Prince William who believe Harry should be given another chance to prove his love and loyalty to the family, Prince Charles seems to be overly disturbed with everything that is going o in the family and is not willing to forgive his younger son for dragging the family’s name through the mud through public appearances and interviews during which he reveals personal family matters.

After conversations that he’s planning on ditching The Sussexes from the family once he takes the throne, one thing that he did just recently had the media and the public talking.
Namely, Prince Charles congratulated on the boy’s second birthday by sharing a photo on his and Camilla’s Instagram account Clarence House. What caught everyone’s attention is that he chose to share a photo of him, Harry, and Archie as a baby, and Meghan was not in it.
“It’s pretty daft to leave her [Meghan] out of it given that it wasn’t that many weeks ago she was American TV throwing accusations about the royal family left, right and centre,” royal commentator Duncan Larcombe told Fabulous, as quoted by The Sun.
“I see that as a deliberate sign of Prince Charles. Surely Prince Charles has enough nous to know how sensitive the situation is with his younger son and his wife.”
Larcombe noted that it is possible that Prince Charles didn’t have plenty of pictures with Archie to choose from, which might be why he posted this one, having in mind he hasn’t seen his grandson in over a year.
“I’d be very surprised if Prince Charles didn’t know exactly what he was doing,” he said.
“While [Charles] has every intention of wishing his grandson the very best on his second birthday, that is where it ends. It is a birthday message for Archie and not an olive branch,” the royal expert added.
In the little children’s world, Disney World is the place where the real-life magic happens. Just imagine the joy of seeing all those characters from the books and the movies walking around you and greeting you. Isn’t that a dream come true?
Lauren Bergner and her family went to Disneyland in Florida and were hoping to have the time of their life, and guess what, they got what they hoped for all thanks to Snow White.

Namely, Lauren’s son Brody, who has autism and isn’t very comfortable around people, experienced a meltdown because of the crowd, and just when the family thought the day would come to an end before it even started, beautiful Snow White came to the rescue.
When she noticed Brody, she approached and sat next to him. In the next moment, after she spoke to the disturbed boy softly and gently, he felt so comfortable that he placed his head on her lap. Brody and Snow White then took a walk holding hands and she showed him around.

Lauren was extremely grateful to the young woman who saved the day. She didn’t only wore a princess’ outfit, but truly acted as one. “She held his hand, danced with him, took him over to a bench and sat with him. She went above and beyond!! She took so much time with him. She was a pure angel! She was magical and my family is forever thankful and touched!” Lauren said.

She posted the photos along with the story on Facebook. A lot of people took their time to comment and praise Snow White for stepping in for Brody.
“I am thankful these moments were captured. My heart is full. Please make sure she is recognized! We will never forget this moment,” the happy mother wrote.

If you loved the iconic series Little House on the Prairie, you certainly remember handsome Almanzo Wilder, the husband of Laura Ingalls. This character was portrayed by Dean Butler, and the role remains until this day one of the most significant in his career as an actor.

Butler was born on May 20, 1956, in Prince-George, British Columbia, Canada, but his family soon moved to North Carolina. He was into studying and attended the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, where he majored in communication arts. Besides his studies, Butler has always been interested in acting as well, so even when he was just a teen, he took part in a number of commercials thus wanted to pursue a career in film.
His dream of becoming an actor didn’t take long to become a reality, all thanks to his love towards that profession and legendary actor and director Michael Landon who chose Butler for the role of Wilder in Little House on the Prairie.

Butler recalled the time he was auditioning for the part that changed his life forever.
“I remember reading for Michael and he watched me read, put his hand up like this [like watching through a binocular] and he looked at me through his hands,” Butler said in an interview. “It was a thrill to see that, what of a terrific director he was, what a star he was. He walked in the room with the boots, the jeans, the whole thing.”
Landon was impressed by young Butler and asked him what he was doing in May, to what Butler replied how he was taking his final exams. “When do they finish?” Landon asked. “On the 18th of May,” Butler answered. “I’ll see you on the 21st’,” Landon said, and it was the start of a new career and a new and very meaningful friendship between the two.

Before he stepped on the set, Butler hadn’t seen a single episode of the show, nor he had ever read the book, but that all changed after he became part of it. After he started reading Little House, Butler said, “There was something idyllic about it, simple and beautiful. Little House made life beautiful and warm, it was sweet and touching. It had a dream quality that the audience responded beautifully to.”

On his first day of filming, Butler almost got himself into a huge trouble. Namely, he was asked to shoot a scene in which he was supposed to drive a horse wagon 200-yards down a hill, something he had never done before. Unfortunately, his hat fell, and as he reached to grab it, he lost control and the horses, along with the wagon, almost ended up crashing into an oak tree. Luckily, one of the crew members reached the horses and prevented a tragedy.
It was then that Landon approached Butler while chewing a cigarette and said, “I can double you but not replace the horses on the show.” Butler said, “That was my first taste of being with Michael, but it was great fun.”

As the show moved on, Butler’s character became more and more popular. There was a scene that brought him an award, that of “Most Memorable Kiss” on screen. He and Laura kissed for the first time and it was a huge moment for the whole crew and the series. In fact, it was probably Melissa Gilbert‘s first ever kiss in her life.
“But it was certainly treated as it was her first kiss ever, which certainly added a bit of responsibility to the whole thing,” Butler said.

After the series was over, Butler starred in other movies, including TV series The New Gidget, and film Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He guest starred in Murder, She Wrote, Who’s the Boss?, The Love Boat, and JAG.
Butler never really stopped working with Little House on the Prairie. He remained devoted to the project one way or another. After he established his own production company, he produced some extra content of the show for the fans and did two documentaries, Almanzo Wilder: Life Before Laura and Little House on the Prairie: The Legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

“The series has meant a huge amount to me in my life, and so to get a chance to support it, nurture it, for audiences to find it in a new way, is really an incredible experience for me. I wouldn’t trade it,” he told Hollywood Soapbox.
In 2001, Butler married the love of his life, actress Katherine Cannon. The two met during the audition for Landon’s series Father Murphy.
Asked whether a reboot of the classic series should be done, Butler says, “The show is more beautiful now than it was when it was new. Why mess around with it? Why change it, why do it again? I’m sure it’ll happen, and we’ll all be watching closely to see how they do.” Well, we definitely agree.
The decision of placing your elderly parents in a nursing home is not an easy one. Sadly, for many people, that’s the only option they have.
When a man named Benny Gomez reached the New Jersey nursing home Westfield Center, he was convinced his 86-year-old mother would be well taken care of. But he was wrong.
One day he got a call and was told how his mom had an accident and suffered severe injuries on her head and face. She had to be taken to hospital.
“All we know there was some kind of incident, very vaguely described, and the result of that is what these photos depict,” attorney Marulyn Barnosa told CBS2.
When he saw his mother’s condition and all those huge bruises and cuts on her face, he had hard time believing they were from a ‘simple fall’ from her wheelchair. He could sense something more serious was in question.
“She doesn’t have a single bruise anywhere on her body,” he said.
Not willing to let the facility’s staff off the hook, he demanded answers by posting his mother’s photos on Facebook.
“My mother was assaulted numerous times,” Benny told TAPinto Westfield. “She tells me that they were rough with her. They hit her over the head with a hair brush multiple times.”
The staff, on the other hand, issued a statement saying their residents’ well-being was their number one priority but were not willing to go into details regarding the accident.
The poor woman is now recovering from her injuries and the police is investigating the case.
“She tells me the aides are rough with her and they hit her,” Benny said. “I bring it to their attention and they always have an excuse.”
Once the photos of Benny’s mother surfaced online, many people took their time to share their personal experiences with the nursing home, and they weren’t pleasant at all.
Only if Benny knew this before thrusting his loving mom in their hands.
A person named Manuel Cruz spoke to CBS2 and said:
“It reminded me of my mom it brought back memories.”
He went further to explain what really happened.
“It was a terrible experience she was screaming and crying most of the times,” he said. “Every time I’d walk in she’d be sitting in a wet diaper… I would get in and hear her screaming from the doorway. The second you walk into the unit you smell urine all over the carpet.”
The managers at the nursing home stay on their position that they take great care of their residents, but people whose parents lived there say the opposite.
We hope Benny’s mom would recover completely and will be able to tell what had really happened on the day she ‘fell off’ her wheelchair.
During the 19th century, “The Star-Spangled Banner” became one of the most beloved and most widely accepted patriotic tunes. This period was the time when many people turned to music whenever they felt like expressing their deepest emotions of love towards the country. Although the military had adopted the song for ceremonial purposes, it wasn’t until 1931 that it was officially accepted as a national anthem.
U.S citizens stand for the flag and the anthem to honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their freedom. “The Star-Spangled Banner” is played at sport games and other significant gatherings to send a message that no matter the race, the religion, or the political differences, we are all Americans.
The lyrics along with the music make the anthem pretty challenging to perform. That’s why it’s only sang by professional musicians or played on a recording. However, during a sporting event at an Iowa school, the hymn was performed by both the members of the competing teams and the crowd, and listening to it gives us goosebumps.

It happened last February when people were eagerly waiting for the high school girls’ basketball game to take place. North Polk intended to play a musical recording of the anthem before the start of the game, but things didn’t turn as planned. The recording wouldn’t start playing and there was no professional singer around. Would that mean the powerful lyrics of the anthem wouldn’t fill the air? Certainly not. In one moment, the audience, the students, the referees, as well as the school staff started singing on their own.

All those voices harmonized in one is one of the most emotional anthem performances you’ve ever heard. So many emotions put into a single tune.
When it came to singing “O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!” everyone involved was so caught up into the moment that it sounded like seasoned chorale. We are sure that if you don’t know the background story, you would never guess there is no professional musician involved in the astounding performance.

Many people took the time to praise these people’s action. Most agree how it should always be done this way and how the school should start a tradition. One person writes: “I applaud every person STANDING there and singing. Every parent every grandparent, every teacher, every coach for installing something so powerful as our national anthem into these children. I stand and applaud every child in that gym for standing and singing.”
