Recently divorced woman moves into 10’x11′ shed and coverts it into lovely tiny home

By

A multiple bedroom home? A mansion, maybe? For most people, living in such a place would be a dream come true, but there are also those who opt for simplicity. The truth is that tiny homes can not only be comfortable and convenient, but also easier to maintain.

In fact, nowadays, many tend to rent or purchase smaller homes because that way they can reduce the costs of living, such as rent or mortgage payments, electricity bills, and more.

Heather, a young woman who got divorced during the pandemic knows this all too well. She is a world traveler who used to live in a van before she decided to turn a shed into her permanent home. The place, only 10’x11′, may seem too tiny for most of us to imagine it as our home, but not to Heather.

She decided to trade life on the road for something more grounded during the pandemic, and also to pursue a fresh start after her divorce.

From the outside, the shed-turned-home looks modest, barebones, even. Heather hasn’t spent much time or money into renovations of the exterior just yet but chose to keep things simple just in case she decides to turn to traveling again. The interior, however, is another story. Her little house has everything she needs.

When you step through the door, you’ll find her workspace to the right, facing a window with stunning views ideal for inspiration during workdays. To the left sits a snug living area, complete with a swinging desk for movie nights and a couch piled high with pillows.

There is also a combined fireplace, kitchen, and bathroom space. A wood stove keeps the place cozy on cold, wet days, while a compact camping stove is all she needs for cooking. Her glassware and pantry goods are neatly arranged on open shelves, and a fridge passed down from her mother holds both food and a collection of travel magnets. Even with the limited square footage, Heather created space for drawers, cabinets, and a composting toilet hidden under the sink.

Above the living room is her loft bedroom that provides enough space just for sleeping. “The thing I love about the whole space is just the vibe of it,” Heather says. “For the first time in my life, I had control over what I wanted. It feels open and airy, almost like indoor/outdoor living. It’s just having a safe space that’s my own that makes me feel inspired to create.”

You can take a look at Heather’s place in the video below.

Can you picture yourself living in such a tiny home? I know I can.

US state will demand teachers take a Trump ‘loyalty test’ in controversial new requirement

By

Monica Pop

-

Oklahoma public schools will require teachers from California and New York to pass a test proving they share the state’s conservative values.

Regardless of the subject or grade level they teach, teachers will be required to demonstrate knowledge of “the biological differences between females and males” and confirm agreement with Oklahoma’s American history standards, which include claims that the Democratic Party stole the 2020 presidential election from Donald Trump, despite fact-checkers labeling this info as false.

According to Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s public schools superintendent, the test will be administered by PragerU – a non-profit organisation known for creating conservative content.

“As long as I am superintendent, Oklahoma classrooms will be safeguarded from the radical leftist ideology fostered in places like California and New York,” he said in a statement.

Further, Walters said California and New York are “teaching things that are antithetical to our standards,” so they need to make sure newcomers “are not coming into our classrooms and indoctrinating kids.”

Walters referred to the new mandate as an “America First” certification, in reference to one of Trump’s political slogans.

“These reforms will reset our classrooms back to educating our children without liberal indoctrination,” Walters wrote on X.

“We’re proud to defend these standards, and we will continue to stand up for honest, pro-America education in every classroom.”

According to the CBS News, Quinton Hitchcock, a spokesperson for the state’s education department, said the Prager test for teacher applicants has been finalized and will be rolling out “very soon.” The state released the first five question of the 50-question test to The Associated Press. Some of the questions asks applicants to list the first three words of the US Constitution and to explain why freedom of religion is ‘important to America’s identity.’

The American Federation of Teachers, one of the country’s largest teachers unions, has opposed to Trump’s views in the past. Commenting in the test, President Randi Weingarten said, “This MAGA loyalty test will be yet another turnoff for teachers in a state already struggling with a huge shortage.”

According to USA Today, Oklahoma is offering teaching bonuses that go up to $50,000 to attract teachers from across the nation. Citing Walters, the publication writes that this resulted in “a dramatic increase in teachers wanting to come to Oklahoma,” a state that just like most other states, faces teachers shortage.

Conjoined twins separated after 7-hour surgery – This is them today

By

Monica Pop

-

Anna Grace and Hope Elizabeth Richards, conjoined twins born on December 29, 2016, were separated during a seven-hour surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston. The little girls, who spent a year and a half in the hospital before they were finally allowed to go home, shared a liver, diaphragm, and part of their heart, which were carefully divided during the procedure.

“We’ve thought about and prayed for this day for almost two years,” the girls’ mom, Jill Richards, said on the day of the procedure.

“It’s an indescribable feeling to look at our girls in two separate beds,” Richards added. “We couldn’t be more thankful to the entire team at Texas Children’s for making this dream come true.”

Before the main surgery, Anna Grace and Hope Elizabeth underwent another surgery on November 6, 2017, during which tissue expanders were inserted to help their skin grow and stretch.

On January 13, 2018, the twin girls underwent their separation surgery, performed by a team of nearly 75 surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists, and nurses across eight specialties.

“The success of this incredibly complex surgery was the result of our dedicated team members’ hard work throughout the last year,” said Dr Larry Hollier, surgeon-in-chief and chief of plastic surgery at Texas Children’s, according to the Independent.

“Through simulations and countless planning meetings, we were able to prepare for situations that could arise during the separation.

“We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to continuing to care for Anna and Hope as they recover.”

The family was aware of the fact that they will be welcoming conjoined twins after doctors discovered that during a routine ultrasound. The girls were born via Caesarean-section at 35 weeks.

Today, the girls are thriving. Their family is glad the surgeries and the long hospital stays are long behind them.

Urgent warning issued as man loses his fully paid off $800,000 home over a $5,000 water bill

By

Monica Pop

-

Filmore Brown has lived in his Brooklyn home since 1996 and paid off his mortgage in 2019, but now, he lost his home due to an unpaid water bill of about $5,000 he says he wasn’t even aware about.

The city sold the unpaid bill to a group of investors, allowing them to pursue foreclosure on the property.

According to Brown, he never received any notice about the bill or the legal proceedings. The thing is, however, that he’s living on the top floor of a three-unit building and rents out the lower apartments to other people and the New York City’s Department of Finance claim notices were sent to his home and someone was even handed court documents stating the impending foreclosure in November 2020. Brown, however, never received them.

According to Newsweek, the unpaid water bill of $5,057.71 dated back to around 2019.

Brown only learned that his $800,000 property was put on sale after a group of contractors appeared in the middle of the night attempting to get into the house, for which they had legal right.

Despite the water bill being worth less than 1 percent of Brown’s home, the trust proceeded with the foreclosure on his property to settle the debt.

“He said he didn’t know anything about this and I believe him,” said Brown’s attorney, Alice Nicholson.

Since the debt went to the trust, Brown has paid thousands of dollars in current taxes and water bills. “He just paid a water bill this year in the thousands of dollars, so it’s just heart wrenching,” said attorney Yolande Nicholson.

She also explained that once his old bill was placed in the trust, it no longer appeared on his current bills because the two systems aren’t connected.

“There needs to be some type of notification that there’s another bill out there that needs to be paid.

“There needs to be more done to make sure that these hardworking older people who paid off their mortgage and have fixed incomes don’t get into that kind of rut.”

Brown feels like his home was stolen from him, saying that he doesn’t want “anybody to go through what I’m going through,” adding: “I cannot eat, I cannot drink, and I cannot sleep.”

A spokesperson of the Department of Finance said in response, “Our goal is never to see a homeowner lose their property. Last year, we implemented reforms to specifically prevent unfortunate situations like this from happening by giving property owners more time, information, and resources to resolve their debts.

“For this year’s lien sale, we strengthened our outreach efforts to make sure we reached as many owners as possible, working with non-profit groups and other City agencies to conduct door-to-door visits, direct phone calls, and other targeted communications.

“Homeowners have several options for resolving their debt with the City, whether it’s related to property taxes, water and sewer charges, or other municipal charges. This includes property tax exemptions for eligible residents, flexible payment plans, and other forms of assistance.

“Our priority is to connect property owners with these resources early, so they can protect their homes and avoid the lien sale altogether.”

Brown’s story highlights a broader problem affecting thousands of homeowners.

In July, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced that it wants mortgage lenders to work with homeowners rather than foreclose on their homes, according to Newsweek. The proposal, which has not yet been finalized, aims to simplify the process and ensure borrowers have better access to information about their debt.

“When struggling homeowners can get the help they need without unnecessary obstacles, it is better for borrowers, servicers, and the economy as a whole,” CFPB Director Rohit Chopra said in a statement.

“The CFPB’s proposal would reduce avoidable foreclosures and make the mortgage market more resilient during future crises.”

I broke a stranger’s car window to rescue a dog — and then things took a wild turn

By

Monica Pop

-

The day was brutally hot. I barely walked down the street when I noticed a dog locked inside a silver car, obviously struggling to breathe. The poor dog, a German Shepherd, looked like it might collapse any second. There was no air inside, and the so-called “water” the owner left was just a sealed bottle lying on the floor.

I felt sorry for the dog and before I tried getting it out of the hot car, I called the number the owner left on the windshield, but what he only told me to stay out of it and mind my own business, believing that the sealed water bottle was enough for his pet to not overheat.

But you know what? Saving that dog was exactly what MY business was at that moment so I grabbed a huge rock and smashed the window.

The poor animal collapsed right into my arms.

Shortly after, the owner arrived, furious that I had broken the window and threatening to call the cops. He didn’t even check on the dog; all he cared about was his car.

“What do you think you’re doing?” he yelled as people started gathering around us.

“Your dog was suffocating,” I said. “You left her in a hot car.”

His fury boiled over. “You had no right! I’m calling the cops—you’ll pay for this!”

But then, everything changed. A woman stepped forward with the phone in her hand. “I’m calling animal control,” she said. A second woman offered me a bottle of water. “For the dog,” she said. The rest of the people stood with me.

And then, from the back of the crowd, a boy’s voice could be heard saying, “Daddy… you told me dogs are family. We don’t leave family in the car.”

It was then that the man realized he was in the wrong. All of a sudden, his anger turned into shame. The crowd’s judgment and his child’s innocence broke him. “I… I didn’t think it was that hot,” he whispered.

By the time animal control came, the parking lot had calmed. The most important thing was that the dog was okay, the man had learned his lesson, and the crowd walked away knowing that when people stand together, compassion wins.

Woman’s kindness to single dad reveals heartbreaking connection: Bracelet from her child’s burial on his daughter

By

Monica Pop

-

On what seemed to be an ordinary Thursday, one woman’s entire world turned upside down.

While shopping one day, Linette noticed a man at the store who had a hard time calming his young daughter down. The little one was throwing a tantrum and her dad was completely helpless.

As the screaming wouldn’t stop for another minute or two, Linette decided to approach and offer to help. She was good with children, because she had a daughter herself, but she passed away five years prior. The father, exhausted and visibly weighed down by more than just parenting stress, explained that it had been a tough year for him and his daughter after his wife had left them.

Linette told him not to worry, handed the little girl a box of cereal, and soon her sobs started to slow down as she clutched the box tightly. At that moment, Linette’s heart started pounding. The girl was wearing a custom silver bracelet with a little cross in the middle. It was exactly the same as the one Linette buried with her daughter who died of leukemia.

The similarity was too striking to be just a coincidence.

But how could a stranger’s daughter have that bracelet, Linette couldn’t stop wondering. She was confused and wanted answers, but the store wasn’t the place where she could find them so she said “goodbye” and continued shopping. However, she was unable to get rid of the feeling that there was more to uncover.

Over the following days, Linette kept thinking of the bracelet so she decided to do some research. As she was going through the internet, she stumbled upon an article about the funeral director who had handled her daughter’s service. He was involved in a scandal when he was caught stealing and selling personal items of the deceased to unsuspecting buyers. Learning this, Linette was positive the bracelet the girl wore belonged to her Emily.

It took some time, but Linette was able to reach the girl’s father, Bob. She explained everything to him and told him how much that piece of jewelry meant to her. Bob was very understanding and sympathetic. He agreed to return the bracelet to her and offered to help her build a case against the funeral home. It turned out he was a lawyer and was happy to represent her case in court.

Linette and Bob met many times, gathering evidence for their case. Bob’s daughter was present at some of the meetings and Linette loved her presence. She reminded her of Emily.

When the day of the trial finally arrived, they entered the courtroom determined to win the case. The judge ruled in their favor, ordering a formal apology and a significant settlement from the funeral home. As the verdict was read, Linette felt relieved. She knew justice was served for her sweet girl.

Over time, Linette and Bob formed a strong bond. What started as a strange coincidence blossomed into a start of a new family.

The silver bracelet that once served as a symbol of loss, became a representation of a new chapter for Linette.

Frank Caprio owed everything to his wife of 60 years – his message to her before dying will make you cry

By

Monica Pop

-

Despite his battle with cancer and his advanced age, the death of Frank Caprio, who was known as “the nicest judge in the world,” shocked many of his fans.

Many of his wholesome and heartwarming courtroom moments went viral, and all for the right reasons, helping him gain the admiration from people not only in the States but worldwide.

Frank Caprio was a Providence, Rhode Island, judge and the son of Italian immigrants who grew up in the Italian-American neighborhood of Federal Hill in Providence. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Providence College in 1958 and started teaching American government at Hope High School in Providence, all the while pursuing night courses at Suffolk University School of Law in Boston.

Caprio became an international sensation thanks to his traffic court cases, which captured the attention of social media users worldwide, racking up over 1.7 billion views.

What not many knew, however, is that Judge Caprio’s wife of over 60 years, Joyce, played part in her husband become a celebrated public figure.

In fact, it was her who suggested he showcased the footage of his court cases that his brother filmed.

“I didn’t like the idea actually, but of course, when my wife makes a suggestion, I usually don’t win that battle,” Caprio told Rhode Island Monthly.

“I agreed we would try it and see if it was something that worked. And there was an overwhelmingly positive response.”

First, his cases aired on WLNE-TV, with a run on ABC 6 at the turn of the century, which helped him gain local popularity. He, however, only gained global recognition once John Methia of Sociable, also the senior producer for Citylife Production, posted the videos to Facebook and YouTube.

In 2017, Caprio received what he called “the magic phone call” from Debmar-Mercury, which led to national attention for Caught in Providence. The series launched with 130 episodes airing twice daily on Fox, reaching 90 percent of the U.S., including major cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

“It’s surreal,” executive producer Joe Caprio said. “I am not a kid, so for this to happen at this stage of my life, God is good… I kept it real all these years. What is there is what we saw. It’s all about a good person helping people.”

While he become a public figure later in life, it was his marriage that was the foundation of his life.

Judge Caprio and wife Joyce raised five children together and built a quiet life out of the spotlight. She was his support throughout his life, especially during his battle with pancreatic cancer.

In one of his home videos that he shared, Judge Caprio paid tribute to his wife’s unwavering support, calling her “the incredible woman who gave me the greatest gift of all: our five amazing children!”

He continued, “Your strength, love, and endless devotion shape our family every single day.”

Months prior to his passing, he once again shared his devotion and love for his wife with a heartfelt photo and a message.

Rest in peace, Judge Frank Caprio, the world will miss your kindness.

Elderly woman’s dog acts overly cheerful, police find shocking truth

By

Monica Pop

-

The police station felt unusually quiet that morning until an elderly woman, probably in her late seventies, entered the place together with her reddish dog that was on a leash.

However, instead of launching into the usual lost-and-found story or filing a complaint, she insisted that she needed to talk to whoever was in charge because something was seriously wrong with her dog. The officers were confused at first, telling the lady that the vet clinic was just across the street, but she was convinced her dog didn’t need a vet but another sort of help. Living alone, she knew her pet better than anyone else, and she had noticed that the dog turned into an overly cheerful one all of a sudden. To her, it didn’t just seem like the regular zoomies—she genuinely felt something strange was at play, and she was there to find answers.

Once they realized the woman won’t leave the station unless someone takes her concerns seriously, one of the senior officers took her into an interview room to hear her out.

She explained that her dog was laid-back and sleepy until a week ago, and now his behavior changed completely although everything else remained the same, and that included the food he ate, the walks he took. Well, except for a single beg of food she ordered for him online. Thinking about her dog’s behavior, she realized it started to change after that bag arrived.

To give the woman a peace of mind, the officer sent off the food and the dog’s bowl for testing, and had a vet run some checks as well. No one really expected anything wild to come back but just two days later, the lab results told a different story. The food was laced with synthetic stimulants. Basically, whoever made it snuck drugs into the dog food, making any pet that ate it way more energetic, and hoping to hook owners so they’d keep buying the same brand.

That’s when things turned even wilder. They tracked the fake food to a warehouse nearby, and as they dug deeper, it turned out other local families had been dealing with weirdly hyperactive pets, too. The authorities checked shops and online listings, uncovered the whole scam, and managed to shut down a pretty shady operation.

In the end, the officers thanked the woman for her persistence. Her concern had saved a bunch of families and their pets from the same trouble. After some detox and some rest, her dog finally turned to his lazy self and the woman couldn’t wait for that to happen.

My mother-in-law took back the bicycle she gifted my daughter

By

Monica Pop

-

I still can’t wrap my head around what my mother-in-law did recently. Last weekend, she actually took back the bike she gave my daughter Emily—right in front of her and my son Max. Honestly, I can still picture the look on their faces.

So, a couple of weeks ago, Janet (my MIL) brought over this adorable pink bike for Emily. Streamers, basket, tiny bell—the works. You should’ve seen Emily’s face; she was completely in love, and she rode up and down the block for hours. For a minute there I thought Janet was gunning for Grandma of the Year.

Fast forward to last Saturday, Janet popped by unannounced as usual. I offered her coffee, thinking she stopped by to see the kids, but no. She was there for another reason, one that shocked me.

After a couple of minutes, my mother-in-law dropped the bomb: “I need to take that bike back.”

I actually laughed at first because, come on, what? Emily and Max were playing in the living room, but didn’t hear their grandma’s shocking words. Janet’s face was dead serious, and that’s when I knew she meant what she demanded.

Her explanation? Apparently, she promised that exact same bike to her neighbor’s granddaughter but somehow “forgot,” so she just gave it to Emily instead. And now, she wanted to “fix” that mistake by taking the gifted bike back while my kids were right there, watching.

When Emily saw her grandma taking the bike, she rushed towards it and grabbed it by the handlers, looking at me, totally lost. “But Grandma, you gave me this bike,” she said. Max was just standing there all puzzled. Janet, meanwhile, already untangled the handlebars from Emily’s fingers, saying, “You’ll get another one soon. This one needs to go back.”

I tried to quietly signal Janet to please, for the love of all that is holy, not do that right there and then. However, her answer was, “She’ll outgrow it in a year. I’ll make it up to her.”

Yeah, she actually took it. Walked out the door while Emily sobbed and Max hugged her, not really understanding why his big sister was so upset.

A few days later, my husband and I bought Emily a new bike, and although she like it, she said it wasn’t as pretty as her old one.

Honestly, I still can’t believe Janet did what she did. I haven’t spoken to her ever since and I refuse to let the kids speak to her as well. And although my husband knows his mom is definitely on the wrong here, he insists I am being too harsh so I’m not really sure which one of us is right.

Mother-in-law tried to ruin our family dinner with a lie

By

Monica Pop

-

The moment I first laid eyes on Alex Rodriguez was the moment I knew my soulmate entered into my life. he was the most charming man I’ve ever met. What’s most, he was loving, caring, and felt the same way about me. The only thing that stood in the way of our happiness was his mother—my mother-in-law, Evelyn—who tried to ruin everything we hoped to build by spreading one lie after another.

The truth was that she was so infatuated with her son that she felt like I was stealing him from her. What’s more, she couldn’t get over the fact that Alex fell for an Asian woman.

When Evelyn and I met for the first time, she was quick to mention Alex’s ex girlfriend, who was Mexican-American.

“You know, Eva understood our Mexican culture,” she said after I failed to show interest in her tamales recipe.

At the beginning, Alex didn’t think his mom’s behavior was out of line. He tried to assure me that she did what she did because she loved him. After all, he was her only son and tradition was an important part of her life.

One day, when we met for coffee, she looked at me and said,” You don’t look that bad, but you should put some makeup on every once in a while. It will make you look prettier.”

Evelyn showed her true self once again during our wedding day, but Alex was still unable to realize what kind of woman she was.

When we were about to have our first dance, she stole the moment from me and danced with her son in the middle of the dance floor while I just stood there, watching in confusion. The guests were as shocked as I was.

Finally, when I fell pregnant, I believed Evelyn will finally accept me.

Alex and I decided to share the news with both our families, and while my mom and dad cried tears of joy, Evelyn turned to me and said, “Know what, Jessica? My cousin Maria’s son married a black woman. Their children are beautiful, of course, but it’s been hard for them to fit in anywhere. They are not really accepted by either community.”

The comment was so hurtful that I started crying and it was for the first time in a long time that Alex defended me.

“Mom, you will be a grandmother soon, and Jessica will be the mother of your grandchild. How can you say something like that?”

But Evelyn didn’t care. “Honey, I’m just telling the truth,” she said and took a sip from the glass fully filled with wine.

Baby Isabella Rodriguez-Chen arrived on a perfect spring morning after a labor that was difficult but mercifully brief.

When Evelyn saw her granddaughter for the first time, she said, “Well, she definitely has Alex’s nose, but her eyes look… a bit different.”

The word “different” stirred my anger. My daughter’s beautiful, almond-shaped eyes reflected her Asian heritage—but Evelyn saw them as a flaw.

The next two years were a real struggle when it came to my mother-in-law — her offensive comments became unbearable, and the final straw was on Father’s Day, when she came up with the worst lie possible, trying to break my family apart.

During dinner, Evelyn said she had an announcement to make.

She stood, took her glass, and yelled, “Jessica you are a liar. You cheated on my son. This girl isn’t my granddaughter and I have a DNA test to prove it.”

She then threw some papers on the table, feeling proud of what she did. “Zero percent match,” she said with a huge smile on her face.

Everyone was surprised, except for my mom, who smiled quietly. And then, in a split second, my mother-in-law turned pale as a ghost when my mom exposed her lie.

“Evelyn, Jessica and Alex had already done a DNA test when they wanted to be sure their daughter won’t be affected by a condition that runs in your family.”

“What!?” Evelyn asked, confused.

“Mom, we know this test of yours is fake. How could you even think of something like that?” Alex asked, totally disappointed in his mother.

My mother-in-law was caught up in her lie—but she didn’t even blink.

The worst thing of all was that she confessed she faked the test in order to have me and Alex separated. She said I wasn’t worthy of him and didn’t deserve to be the mother of his child.

I knew Evelyn wasn’t fond of me, but I always thought it was just a way to prove her love for her son. That day, I understood what she felt for me was hatred.

That was the last time I ever saw her. Alex sort of forgave her and visits her every now and then, but I don’t think I will ever be able to get over what that woman did.

Can you recognize her? Health issues caused significant changes to her appearance

By

Monica Pop

-

Brandi Glanville, the star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has been experiencing health issues for quite some time now. From the moment her face started disfiguring, she kept seeking answers on how to fix it, which drained her financially. Brandi admitted spending six figures in the search for cure.

When her face first started showing signs of disfigurement, doctors couldn’t tell why. Now, she and her doctors suspect the issue has been caused by a facial parasite.

“Honestly, I have so many doctors and I’ve had so many tests … I did lab work for $10,000,” she told Entertainment Tonight in December 2024. “I ran every test under the sun…. They’re like, ‘It could be a parasite.’ That’s, you know, new.”

She further shared that she believes she contracted a “parasite” from her time in Morocco, North Africa, while filming Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.

“We had food sitting out for hours on end, and some of it was meat,” she explained, adding that it started in July 2023, “six months” after she returned from Morocco.

Ever since her issues started, Brandi’s life has changed a great deal.

It affected her social life, leaving her home, hiding from the world.

“I literally don’t do anything and I feel like I’m experiencing [the] COVID-19 [lockdown] all over again, but with some miserable side effects,” she told OK!. “I miss socializing with my girlfriends and then having s– with men. I’m a Scorpio. I love s–.

“I was having a lot of it and now I haven’t had any of it and I’m like, ‘Have I forgotten how to kiss?’” she added. “But, like, I’ve lost myself. I feel more insecure than I ever have in my life. Normally, I feel fairly secure, and I don’t get nervous. I don’t get anxiety about most things. Some things do give me anxiety, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like I lost Brandi.

“I want to be out,” she shared with the publication. “I want a boyfriend, I want to be dancing.” She added: “I want to be doing photoshoots. I want to be working.”

Not being able to work for two years has “really hurt her.”

During her ordeal, her two boys have been very supportive and always by her side.

“They’re like, ‘This is ridiculous. I can’t believe no one’s figured this out yet,’” she said. “They’re like, ‘It’s two years … this is crazy, mom.’ I’m like, ‘Trust me. I’m going through it.’ But they’re going through it too because I’m not the best version of myself.”

“I just have the best boys on the planet,” she added. “They hug me [and] they’re like, ‘You’re so beautiful on the inside. Don’t worry about it.’ But then, they worry because they see how this affects me. [They ask], ‘How’d you sleep? How’s your day? How’s your neck?”

Hopefully, Brandi Glanville will overcome her medical issue and will be able to live her life to the fullest, just the way she imagines it.

3 colors you should never wear to a funeral

By

Monica Pop

-

A funeral is a time to pay tribute to someone’s life and provide comfort to the grieving family and friends.

During this occasion, the choice of clothing may seem unimportant, but the truth is that what you wear at someone’s funeral may be seen as a quiet sign of respect. The choice of outfit may differ from culture to culture, but there are certain colors that are widely seen as inappropriate and choosing them could send a wrong message or even be considered as disrespect towards the deceased person and those grieving their loss.

These are three colors you should avoid at a funeral and the reason behind each of them.

1. Bright Red

The color red is usually linked to passion, celebration, and even luck, thus it would be inappropriate to wear it at someone’s funeral.

In many parts of Asia, red is considered a joyful color, and in Western tradition it usually signals attention-seeking rather than mourning.

In a setting where most mourners wear black, or another dark color, wearing red can feel out of place. So unless a particular culture accepts it, or the family of the deceased asks from those attending the funeral to wear red as a symbol or rebirth, then avoid choosing this color altogether.

2. Neon or Vibrant Shades (Pink, Yellow, Green, Orange)

Bold, flashy colors such as neon pink, bright yellow, lime green, or vivid orange don’t belong at a funeral. The reason why is obvious, I guess. These shades are associated with youth, energy, and parties late into the night, not an occasion of mourning and grieving.

Even if your intention wasn’t to disrespect the deceased or the family, many can see your choice of outfit as exactly that. Instead, choose neutral shared such as navy, grey, brown, or even soft pastels. Remember, the focus should remain on the family, not your outfit.

3. Shiny Metallics (Gold, Silver, Sequins)

Gold, silver, and sequins are indeed stylish colors, but if you are about to attend a party or a another celebration, not a funeral, where the sparkle of silver or gold can feel inappropriate.

In moments of mourning, dignity is best expressed through simplicity,not sparkle or style.

Carville doubts Harris can mount a 2028 bid following presidential defeat

By

Monica Pop

-

James Carville, a veteran Democratic strategist and architect behind Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential victory, delivered a blunt message that has stirred conversation within the party. According to him, former Vice President Kamala Harris faces an uphill battle for any future presidential bid.

And coming from Carville that’s no small thing because in American politics, few people’s opinions carry more weight than veterans who’ve seen countless careers rise and fall.

Speaking on his Politics War Room podcast, Carville said that Harris is unlikely to be a factor in the 2028 fight for the Democratic nomination despite the speculations that her decision not to run for California governor gives her room to mount another campaign in 2028.

Carville’s reasoning comes from a broader party desire to move past the 2024 election, where Harris’ campaign, despite strong backing and resources, ultimately fell short. “Anybody that had anything to do with 2024, the party wants to move on from that,” he explained, emphasizing that this isn’t personal, but political reality.

Carville’s warning also reached Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and others linked to the 2024 campaign.

In fact, the strategist’s message was straightforward—that their political futures in the Democratic Party are limited, and that they need to move forward with caution.

“This goes to Walz, too. I wouldn’t run again,” he said.

“That would be my – if I were your friend, if I would be your chief advisor, I’m doing this not – from a personal standpoint. This is not going to be the environment that a 2024 Democrat that – the Democrats are not going to look to anybody that had anything to do with the 2024 campaign.”

Of course, Carville never questioned Harris’ impressive résumé, but said that candidates must learn from past mistakes and adapt to remain relevant. He pointed to what he believed was a flaw at the presidential campaign and that was her failure to sell voters on why change was needed, leaving her message weak at critical points.

It seems like the 2028 Democratic field is already starting to take shape. While some doors may be closing, there are opportunities for others to step forward.

At this point, despite losing the 2024 elections to current President Donald Trump, Kamala Harris remains a prominent figure within the Democratic Party.

Everyone laughed at her after someone snapped a photo of her fall at the grocery store

By

Monica Pop

-

Very often, people who don’t seem to fit in what is considered ‘normal’ by the society get judged and are made fun of by others and that is the sad face of humanity.

Back in 2012, a woman named Jennifer Knapp Wilkinson got involved in an accident that made her a meme and a subject of humiliation.

Despite the number of years that passed by, she is still affected by the photo of her fall from a wheelchair at a grocery store that went viral overnight.

Namely, Wilkinson was overweight, and it wasn’t her fault entirely. She had been experiencing severe pain in her spine which prevented her from having much physical activity and that added to her weight. Her disease made her body weak, especially her legs. She had also been experiencing difficulties maintaining balance and was struggling with depression.

At the time the viral photo was taken, Wilkinson was at a supermarket, using a wheelchair to navigate around. At one point, she reached towards a pack of juice for her husband, but she fell out of the wheelchair.

Sadly, instead of helping her stand on her feet and asking if she was okay, someone snapped a photo of her which they later shared online.

Many people took their time to comment on the photo which showed this woman in a state of helplessness. Sadly, they didn’t feel sorry for her. Instead, they made fun of her weight. That crushed her, but it also made her aware that she was in need of a change that would make her life a bit easier.

Wilkinson says she gained ‘fame’ with the embarrassing photo of her, and she wants to spread a message that obesity is a disease.

“These are my 15 minutes of fame. You’ve probably seen the picture. The worst thing about it is that she makes people think that a fat woman falls out of a stroller because she is too lazy to get out of the stroller to get the juice she wants to buy,” she said.

“I do not ask anyone to accept obesity, this is a problem that triggers many other diseases. At the same time, I do not ask anyone to feel sorry for me or to feel sorry for me.

“What I want is compassion, understanding, and respect for another human being. I am a person – please treat me as such! ”

She is now trying to live healthy, but with all the health issues she is facing, that’s not really easy.

Hurricane Erin tracker reveals seven states most at risk as experts issue deadly warning

By

Monica Pop

-

With Hurricane Erin heading towards the mainland, millions of Americans across seven states are being urged to prepare for the threat.

According to meteorologists, Erin could become the fiercest storm of the 2025 Atlantic season yet. Though it is not expected to make landfall, staying some 200 miles out at sea, the impact will be felt in the form of rip currents and massive 20-foot waves.

North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts are the states facing significant coastal threats.

Hatteras Island, North Carolina, has been evacuated ahead of the approaching hurricane, while officials in the Outer Banks have issued a state of emergency. Heavy rain—two to seven inches—is expected across parts of Georgia and the Carolinas, where flood warnings are already in place. The National Hurricane Center says tropical storm-force winds and coastal flooding could begin in the Outer Banks by late Wednesday, with dangerous gusts reaching the Mid-Atlantic and southern New England by Friday.

Officials advise beachgoers and residents to follow safety instructions from lifeguards and local authorities.

“There are mixed signals on Erin’s future intensity,” the NHC said according to The Daily Mail. “More favorable environmental shear and upper-level divergence in 24–36 hours could allow some re-intensification, but Erin’s slow motion and large size may bring cooler water to the surface, limiting significant strengthening.”

The storm is expected to reach the Tri-State Area by Thursday, with the Jersey Shore and Long Island’s South Shore most at risk. Hyde County has also issued an emergency order for Ocracoke Island, with Donnie Shumate, Hyde County Public Information Officer, stating, “While Hurricane Erin is expected to stay well off our coast, the system will continue to increase in size and is forecast to bring life-threatening impacts to the Ocracoke coastline and render Highway 12 impassable.”

According to the NHC, the storm may have weakened, but that doesn’t mean it won’t remain “dangerous” throughout the middle of the week. “Even though some weakening is forecast beginning Monday night, Erin will remain a large and dangerous major hurricane through the middle of the week,” they added.

Also, the Bahamas has issued a Tropical Storm Watch for its central islands, while warnings remain for the Turks and Caicos and the southeast Bahamas. In North Carolina, Dare County evacuated most of its 38,000 residents, with officials urging people to leave immediately for their own safety.

Shocking footage captures flames bursting from a plane’s engines as terrified passengers describe sending ‘goodbye texts’

By

Monica Pop

-

Plane graveling from Corfu, Greece to Düsseldorf, Germany, was forced to make a an emergency landing in Brindisi, Italy, after passengers noticed flames coming from the right wing of the aircraft just after 8pm, as per Bild.

At the time of the incident, the the Boeing 757 was carrying 273 passengers and eight crew members, and was flying at an altitude of 11,000 meters, according to WDR.

When the passengers became aware something was wrong, the plane was in the air for 40 minutes.

The flames caused complete shock inside the plane, with some passengers sending “goodbye texts” to their loved ones.

“We were already in the air when it suddenly started — you could hear this really loud rattling,” passenger Leah Steininger told the publication. “About 20 minutes later, we got the message that the gearbox had completely failed and that we’d be continuing the flight with just one.”

@melinamelinakiii Ακούσαμε απανωτές εκρήξεις και είδαμε την τουρμπίνα να παίρνει φωτια. Ήταν πολύ τρομακτικό. Ημασταν στο μπαλκόνι και το είδαμε όλο. Ελπίζω όλοι να είναι καλά.😐 #corfu #kerkira #corfuisland #corfugeeece #corfuplane #fire #plane ♬ πρωτότυπος ήχος – Μελίνα

Niklas Gelbhaar, who was also on board, recalled hearing loud bangs. “The passengers remained calm, and the pilot kept us updated throughout the flight,” he said.

According to the airline, passengers were never in real danger, and the incident was linked to a disruption in the engine’s airflow supply.

“The reason was a parameter indication outside the normal range caused by a disturbance in the air flow supply to the engine,” a statement by Condor Airlines said. “Due to the fault message, it was precautionarily decided to divert to Brindisi. The aircraft landed around 8.15pm at Brindisi Airport, and all guests disembarked the aircraft normally.” They added that what appeared as flames was actually a combustion process outside the engine. “It was not an engine fire, but rather a chemical reaction that normally takes place inside the combustion chamber—only this time, because of disrupted airflow, it became visible on the outside.”

Some of the passengers stuck in Italy had nowhere to stay before catching another plane.

“Unfortunately, there was insufficient hotel capacity in Brindisi, meaning that not all guests could be accommodated in hotels,” the airline explained.

“Additional vouchers and blankets were organized at the airport, and a few shops were allowed to remain open to provide supplies. Passengers who took advantage of alternative accommodation options can submit their expenses for reimbursement.”

Following the incident, the aircraft has undergone technical checks on site.

The surprising truth about eating eggs every day

By

Monica Pop

-

When it comes to eggs, it’s safe to say they are one of the foods surrounded by much controversy. The reason is that, over the years, experts first condemned their consumption as a cause of high blood cholesterol, and then, years later, they were classified as a superfood. This is why many people wonder what the truth about eggs really is, and whether they can eat them without guilt or worry about their health.

The egg debate has been around for quite some time. Despite their “bad” reputation in the past, today the story surrounding eggs has changed as a number of research revealed that for most people who are not suffering from any conditions, eggs don’t impose risk for heart disease. In fact, studies suggest that heart disease is mostly influenced by the consumption of trans fats, too much sugar, and processed carbs.

The HeartUK states that cholesterol “is a type of blood fat which is made in the liver. It’s found in some foods too. It plays vital roles in how your body works, and it’s especially important in your brain, nerves and skin.”

Around 80% of it is produced by your body and the rest comes from the food you eat.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, “too much cholesterol in your blood can be dangerous for you.” There are two types of cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, or the “good” cholesterol that experts believe can help protect your arteries, and LDL cholesterol, or the “bad” cholesterol that can make a sticky substance called plaque build up in your arteries. In general, cholesterol is essential for cell membranes, hormones, and vitamin D production, and research shows that our bodies adjust to the cholesterol we eat by producing less on their own.

While eggs are high in cholesterol, they are low in saturated fat, which, like trans fats, can raise LDL cholesterol.

Eggs are a source of protein and have all the essential amino acids your body needs to build and repair muscle. They are packed with good fats and omega 3 and contain a number of vitamins and minerals such as A, D, E, B12, selenium, folate, and phosphorus. What’s more, eggs have choline, which has positive effect on your brain and your memory.

Consuming an egg or two per day can:

Help build and maintain muscles
Boost brain power
Keep your eyes healthy
Keep you full longer and help with weight management
Support your heart and immune system

Eggs can be consumed in a number of ways. Scrambled, boiled, as omelets, sunny-side-up, in salads, in baking to add some extra protein, you name it.

If you can, go for pasture-raised eggs since they usually have more omega-3s and vitamins than the regular kind.

Eggs are safe, healthy, and super easy to cook. They give you protein, good fats, and essential nutrients — all in a few bites. So next time you’re deciding on breakfast, don’t overthink it: crack an egg and enjoy.

What causes night cramps and how to fix the problem

By

Monica Pop

-

Muscle cramps are sudden spasms of the muscles that cause pain. And while they are not usually harmful, they cause an uncomfortable feeling due to the severe contraction of the muscles.

The cramps can last from a few seconds to ten minutes and can affect the calf muscle and the muscles on the feet or the tights (the latter doesn’t happen as often.)

The reasons why cramps happen can be various.

The most common, however, are as follows:

1. Dehydration

Sometimes, leg cramps that happen during the night are caused by the lack of hydration as this condition leads to an electrolyte imbalance.

2. Mineral Deficiencies

Muscle cramps can also happen due to the shortage of certain minerals within the body, such as magnesium, potassium, and calcium.

3. Overexertion

Although exercises is good for the body, overexertion can sometimes overwork the muscles, leading to cramps.

4. Sedentary lifestyle

In order to function properly, muscles need to be stretched from time to time, which is something we often forget about when our job requires too much sitting throughout the day.

5. Improper sitting position

It’s easy for muscles to get strained in case of poor posture and prolonged sitting or standing.

6. Nerve Compression

Nerves in the legs may get compressed or pinched by conditions such as sciatica or herniated discs, which can result in cramps.

7. Pregnancy

The changes in hormone levels and the increased pressure on blood vessels can lead to muscle cramps at pregnant women.

8. Medications

The side effects of certain medications such as diuretics, statins, or antipsychotics can lead to muscle cramps.

9. Alcohol Consumption

The consumption of alcohol affects the body by causing muscle dehydration and mineral imbalances.

10. Certain Medical Conditions

Certain medical conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, thyroid disorders, and peripheral artery disease can also lead to muscle cramps.

Some of the standard treatments than can help prevent and relieve the immediate discomfort as per Healthline are: massaging the legs, stretching, walking on your heels, applying heat (such as hot towel, hot bottles, or heating pad on the affected area), drink pickle juice, and take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen.

Researchers explore possible connection between a widely used drug and dementia risk

By

Monica Pop

-

Dementia can be caused by a number of factors. According to Dementia UK, those factors include genetics, age, brain changes, the person’s lifestyle, as well as other health conditions. The condition develops when brain cells are damaged and fail to communicate with each other, which leads to shrinking of different areas of the brain.

A recent research published in Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine explored the link between gabapentin and the risks of dementia.

Gabapentin represents a prescription drug approved by the FDA that is widely used to treat nerve pain and control seizures. It is also commonly prescribed off-label for conditions such as fibromyalgia, sciatica, insomnia, anxiety, hot flashes, and lower back pain. What makes this drug a preferable choice over other drugs that offer the same or similar effects is that it is considered a less addictive alternative.

However, like any medication, gabapentin comes with potential side effects, including nausea, dizziness, fatigue, headaches, memory problems, and speech difficulties.

The research mentioned has raised concerns about its long-term use, with the results showing that people who had six or more prescriptions for gabapentin to treat lower back pain faced a higher risk of developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia.

It analyzed data from over 26,000 adults in the TriNetX health research network and involved people dealing with chronic pain, including conditions like lower back pain and lumbar radiculopathy. Researchers compared those taking gabapentin with a similar-sized group who weren’t. Participants were then sorted into five age ranges and followed for ten years to see whether they went on to develop mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s, or vascular dementia.

“Currently, there is a discrepancy on whether taking gabapentin increases a patient’s risk for developing dementia,” said Nafis B. Eghrari, the study’s first author and a fourth-year medical student at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, in an interview with Medical News Today. “Moreover, there lacks a strong understanding of how gabapentin impacts cognitive function and whether it contributes to neurodegenerative processes. Previous studies have shown mixed findings on this topic. Thus, we decided to explore this gap in the field.”

According to the study, people with six or more gabapentin prescriptions faced a 29% higher risk of dementia and an 85% higher risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

“The significance of this finding is an association between gabapentin prescription and dementia on a nationwide level,” Eghrari explained. “Though this does not imply causation, this warrants further investigation on the drug’s long-term effects.”

What stood out most was the 35–49 age group, where dementia risk doubled and MCI risk tripled. Eghrari dubbed the finding unexpected, since neurodegeneration is usually something doctors see after age 65.

Study Limitations and Criticisms

Of course, the study isn’t without its limits. It didn’t look at other health issues or medications participants may have had, and dementia risk depends on many factors. Tara Spires-Jones, director of the Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences at the University of Edinburgh, told Medscape, “One very important factor that was not examined in this study is levels of physical activity. People with chronic pain requiring gabapentin may have been less physically active, which is a known risk factor for developing dementia.”

Ian Maidment, a clinical pharmacy professor at Aston University in Birmingham, England, also pointed out that the analysis didn’t control for treatment duration or dosage. He added that other recent studies have failed to find a link, stating, “The jury is out on whether gabapentin causes dementia.”

Meanwhile, Dr. Neel Anand, a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon not involved in the study, stressed that proving a direct cause would require comparing patients who use only gabapentin with those who don’t, while making sure the drug is taken as prescribed. Still, he noted that it’s important to be aware of possible cognitive risks tied to long-term use.

Despite the study’s limitations, the authors recommend caution when prescribing gabapentin.

“In terms of clinical significance, I recommend that physicians prescribing gabapentin for chronic pain perform cognitive exams on a regular basis when seeing patients,” Eghrari advised. He also encouraged patients to report any cognitive changes, such as confusion, memory problems, or slowed thinking, to their doctors.

Eghrari concluded, “We hope to carry this research forward and explore whether there is a true causative relationship between gabapentin and cognitive impairment. We also plan to investigate the underlying mechanisms of how the drug may impact cognition.”

Stephen King delivers sharp critique of Trump and his erratic social media posts

By

Monica Pop

-

Stephen King, the iconic author behind countless horror classics, has taken another shot at Donald Trump, this time, questioning his literacy skills. Currently working on a CGI remake of his 1983 film Cujo, King had been relatively quiet since defending a controversial joke aimed at Trump’s baseless claim that undocumented Haitian immigrants were eating pets. Now, King has spoken out once more to criticize Trump.

Those of you who are following the president on the social media are well aware that Trump is sharing most of his thoughts on Truth Social, and most of his posts raise eyebrows and stir the conversation online.

One of Trump’s most recent social media posts aimed at Washington DC’s crime read: “I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before. The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital.

“The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong.”

Reacting to this post, King wrote, “Can you possibly trust a President who can’t spell, has serious problems with grammar, and capitalizes at random? I think not. A President who can’t write can’t think. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

While it’s entirely true that Trump capitalizes random word, that are otherwise not capitalized, a number of his supporters defended him.

One person wrote, “You’re a writer. He’s a businessman, and leader. You ever looked at your doctor’s writing. Do you trust your doctor, given the fact that he can barely scribble?”

Another added: “Just because you can write doesn’t say much for a person.”

A third person expressed disagreement with the famous author, writing, “Grammar is not a measure of intelligence. Stay in your lane,” while a fourth one added: “With all due respect, Stephen, that feels a bit unfair. Plenty of people struggle with spelling or grammar who’d still do a far better job than Trump.

“The issue isn’t typos – it’s the incoherent, erratic way he communicates. That reflects thinking, not just writing.”

However, there were also those who were on board with King.

“One of the best takes I’ve seen all day,” one person agreed and added: “His lack of coherent writing ability signals so much more than people are recognizing.”

“A president who confuses Alaska with Russia should not be president,” noted another following Trump’s incorrect claim that he was meeting Vladimir Putin in his home country.

“Stephen, you’re spot on,” added someone else. “A president who can’t spell, who butchers grammar, and sprays random capital letters is not a leader – he’s a global embarrassment.”

Katy Perry, one of the most beloved pop icons of today, is currently touring on the Lifetimes Tour that launched in April 2025 in Mexico City in support of her 2024 album 143. So far, she performed across the U.S., Mexico and Canada. In September, she’s set to play in Chile, Argentina and Brazil, before heading to Europe and Asia.

Perry’s tour will span 83 shows, and it’s her first tour in seven years.

The Firework singer set the stage for the countdown with a post and a photo of herself in a dazzling Bob Mackie–inspired dress as a tribute to Cher. She captioned it: “T minus 37 days till this bedazzled butterfly takes flight! Are you READY?!”

While many of her fans responded to her post with excitement, highlighting their anticipation for the tour, others shared their concerns over her looks.

Namely, a number of fans commented that Perry looked not only overworked but also underweight.

However, despite the online debate about her slim figure, Perry remains focused on delivering unforgettable performances and fashion moments.

Perry’s tour carousel pulled back the curtain on life offstage, capturing everything from a carefree bike ride and a playful popcorn-snacking performance to sweet moments with her 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove.

Speaking of the tour, the singer told People, “This show will be full of BPM (beats per minute). So I suggest wearing some sensible shoes and staying hydrated because I think there’s going to be a whole heck of a lot of us just dancing the night away.

“We always put together a message in this huge Disneyland-on-wheels type tour. There’s costume changes, there’s acts, there’s dancers, there’s musicians. I’ll fly around the room. There’s no bad seat in the house. I’m going to get close to everyone at some point.”

The star also explained the inspiration behind the Lifetimes Tour, saying it’s a celebration of her entire catalog of songs to date.

Fit man, 39, left in shock after stage 4 cancer diagnosis, with earlier vague symptoms brushed aside by doctors

By

Monica Pop

-

Wylie Dixon, 39, who considered himself to be rather fit and healthy, experienced the shock of his life when he was diagnosed with cancer that affects only 3,000 people annually in the United States.

Before he received the devastating diagnosis of having appendix cancer, Dixon experienced abdominal pain, bloating, changes in bowel habits, and loss of appetite, all symptoms of this rare form of cancer. Sadly, at the time he was finally rushed to the emergency room at his home in Cairns, Far North Queensland, Australia, the cancer had spread throughout his body.

Long before he started experiencing the symptoms, Dixon felt fatigue, but doctors dismissed it as too vague to be linked to cancer.

Speaking to Femail of the shock that came with the diagnosis, Dixon said, “I was in disbelief as I’d never heard of the cancer before… I wasn’t someone who had scheduled health check-ups but I went to the doctor often when something would arise.

He added: “I was fit and healthy, not overweight, I was very active and walking 10,000 to 20,000 steps per day was normal for me at work.”

“I didn’t have any major symptoms besides fatigue. That’s the problem with this cancer, everything was vague and didn’t persist, besides the fatigue.”

According to him, doctors failed to diagnose him for two years.

Since, he and his wife moved to Sydney in order to be closer to the facility where he’s been receiving life saving treatments.

This relocation required both of them to leave their jobs, and they are currently residing in temporary accommodation.

In response to their situation, a friend of the couple launched a GoFundMe campaign to provide financial support during this challenging time. With a fundraising goal of $22,000 AUD, contributions have now exceeded $22,100 AUD, showcasing remarkable community support.

Wylie Dixon’s diagnosis with this form of cancer at just 39 highlights growing concerns about the increasing number of appendix cancer diagnoses in people under 50.

Andreana Holowatyj, PhD, MSCI, assistant professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, commented on a recent research about appendiceal cancer, saying, “When you take these alarming rates that we are seeing for appendiceal cancer across generations, together with the fact that one in every three patients diagnosed with appendiceal cancer is diagnosed under the age of 50, these point to a timely need for everyone to be aware of the signs and symptoms of appendix cancer.”

Woman spots what she thinks is a happy bird – then realizes her mistake

Nature never ceases to amaze us. For many people, being outdoors feels like a therapy for both their body and mind. The breeze, the freshness the trees fill our lungs with, and the stunning colors make for an incredible experience that help us relax and gather strength for the remaining of the week.

An Australian woman, Kym Beechey, loves spending her days outdoors. She appreciates the beauty of the nature and never misses a change to take photos of stunning sights she often stumbles upon.

One day, as she walked through the forest, she came across what she believed to be a baby tawny frogmouth (a bird resembling an owl).

She was in a hurry to take her phone out and take a photo of the sweet happy bird. However, when she zoomed in, she realized it wasn’t a bird at all but a banksia pod, often-funny looking pods that grow out of banksia trees, and are rather unique in their appearance.

These trees grow predominantly in south western Australia, though they can also be found in New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Many compare their pods to pine cones.

The pods burst open, often in the heat of forest fires, and that’s the process when they release their seeds.

When she realized her ‘mistake,’ Kim had a good laugh about it and decided to share the photo of what she believed to be a happy bird for others to see.

Did this deceive you as well?

White woman gave birth to a black baby from her white husband

By

Rachel, a new young mom from Tennessee, gave birth to a lovely baby boy on February 17.

Working as a cashier at the Celina 52 Truck Stop, the place posted on their Facebook congratulating on the new addition to the family. They shared a post along with a photo of the happy family with the caption, “Congratulations to our cashier Rachel and her fiancé Paul Buckman on their baby Cash Jamal Buckman being [born] on Saturday at 6:18pm.”

What caught the attention of many was that both Rachel and Paul are white while their baby is black.

As expected, people started posting mean comments under the post, accusing Rachel of cheating.

The store then added another post offering an explanation.

“Yes, Paul is the father. Rachel has African American DNA in her which can skip generations and cause a child to be born with darker skin,” they wrote.

Further, they stated that there might be possibility of jaundice, and ended their post with, “Please be kind.”

However, this didn’t put a stop on the jokes people continued making on the expense of the couple.

“Congratulations!!! I AM sure he looks just like his dad. Where is he?” one person commented.

“Definitely needs a DNA test; what if they accidentally mixed up the kiddos in the nursery?” another added.

“I feel sorry for Paul, being duped like this is a whole new level of creep. Hopefully he’ll wise up,” a third wrote.

Looking at the comments, Rachel decided to share a post that included her her own ancestry test results. She wrote, “For the haters saying that I [don’t] have black DNA maybe this will clear it up straight from my ancestry DNA results !!!! NOW STOP slandering mine and my [fiancé] Paul Buckman name. he IS the father of Lil Cash.”
