I Turned 26 Today, Which Means I’ve Lived To See 23 More Birthdays Than I Was Expected To See. Cheers
Happy Birthday! When my sister had her son (Downs and heart problems) the doctors told her that he would be "lucky" to live to be a year old. Together, they proved the doctors wrong, and he lived until halfway through his 24th year. We will always miss him, but he gave us all so much joy while he was here.
Congrats. I love confusing the medicos. I've already been dead, and came back. Two serious car crashes, in which the fire service, and Police said should have killed me. Both on the same corner of the same road. First a kamakazi run me off my side of the road, second black ice. Other minor brushes. Now defying double cancers. It's the power of your brain and determination, and judging by the smile your humour that keeps you beating the odds. Keep up the fight Mr Indestructible!

A number of years ago a pregnant stray cat wandered into my house as though she owned the place. She had five kittens in my bathroom. I found responsible forever homes for the young and kept the mama, whom I named Ragamuffin. Best cat I've ever had. RIP you wonderful alley cat. rags_famil...6e3cda.jpg

You might feel sad for a lot of different reasons - your favorite coffee is out of stock, your bestie has taken a day off from work, you read an unsettling article, or someone spilled wine on your brand new dress.
Sometimes, a seemingly small incident can affect you more than you think. Imagine it’s your sibling's birthday. You are all dressed up, ready with the cake and presents to leave for the celebration. However, you realize that you have a flat tire, so you take a cab instead. Even though you arrive just 10 minutes late, you feel upset during the entire party.

I Sold My Truck To Pay For Her Surgery
aww ❤️🩹❤️🩹 i hope all goes well for you and your pupper, and she lives the longest a dog can.
20 years ago I sold my pride and joy... a record collection to pay for Vet costs for my two fur babies. They did not survive but i never regretted selling everything for them.
Our pet companions give us so much. What a beautiful thing you did for her.
In February my son turned 16, we got him a moped for his birthday, we don't have much money so we busted our a*s to get it for him. He was waiting to take his CBT so did not have the chance to even ride it. My dog had pyometra just come on, we would have to find over a grand or else they would let her die. My son told us to sell his bike, without even thinking he wanted to save our dog, I have not told anyone this, to many people talk up their kids on social media when the kids are in fact little turds, my son total turd, but a selfless one. I only have shared here as I really feel that bored panda has a community and I'm so extremely proud of him. We did not need to sell his new bike, we rallied the family and got the money together.
Go France
America needs to allow women the right to make decisions about our bodies!
France seems to actually listen to what it's people want, unlike some countries... *COUGH COUGH*
On days when you are feeling low, all you might need is some positivity. Simply reading wholesome posts, hanging out with loved ones, or listening to your favorite song can uplift your spirits.
One of the reasons people wake up feeling grumpy is a lack of quality sleep. Experts recommend that adults should sleep anywhere between 7 and 9 hours every night. Feeling well-rested is essential for our emotional well-being. Lack of good sleep can lead to feelings of worry and anger, among other emotions. It can also lead to decreased cognitive function and increased stress levels.
Love And Dedication Are Right There
30" in 4 years is quite the accomplishment. What kind of vitamins was he taking? Oh, and this dude is a walking green-flag! So sweet
That's so sweet.. just an odd question that popped into my head, if someone with curly hair donates their hair, does it stay curly? Like, after washing and stuff? Serious question..
Yes, it does. The curls are formed by the structure in which the hair has grown, that doesn't change. I mean, when curly haired people straighten and wash it, it'll still go back to normal

Finally Got Out Of An Abusive Home. It's Not Much But It's Mine
Finally got away from an abusive parent. Years of stuff to work through and it's going to take time to feel comfortable again but I'll be ok. To those in similar worlds, it can get better.
Doesn’t matter if it’s sparsely furnished. You can close the door and have peace—-and total autonomy. Heaven.
A single room by yourself is better than a mansion with an abusive parent
I Drew My My Mom And Her Cat For Mother's Day
There are days when even feeling hungry or not eating on time can put you in a sour mood. Gastroenterologist Christine Lee, MD, explains, “When you haven’t eaten for a while, the level of sugar (glucose) in your blood decreases. The low blood sugar may interfere with higher brain functions, such as those that help us control impulses and regulate our primitive drives and behavior.” That is why not having your meals can make you sad and angry.

Fluctuations in hormones can also affect a person’s mood and sometimes lead to unexplained sorrow. When it comes to menstruation, Julia Sacher from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences points out, "We know that estrogen and progesterone have an influence on serotonin levels, which in turn directly affect mood.”
During periods, serotonin, the natural body chemical that controls our mood, drops, making us feel uneasy at times.
A Complete Stranger Bought Me These Beautiful Wheel Covers For My Wheelchair
Back in March, I casually answered a post on the internet asking what you would buy if you had $500 but couldn't spend it on anything you needed.
I had seen these covers earlier in the year, but there was no way I could afford them. I made an offhand comment about how I would get these "because they're pretty and I want to be pretty too".
Out of many people offering various suggestions, a very kind and generous gentleman from America sent me the money (with his wife's approval) to cover the purchase of these Izzy Wheels covers, which are made to order in Europe. It took a while, but they finally made their way to me in New Zealand!
I love them so much! Not only are they super fun, but I no longer get my fingertips caught in the spokes every now and then.
They look to be a perfect match with your style! My chair is so drab looking, but doesn't have these big wonderful wheels to decorate (it's electric with small wheels). Honestly, someone should start a business that beautifies wheelchairs... I think it would do particularly well in a large city that has a higher concentration of people who use chairs.
One of my brothers got a wheelchair in the colours of his football team!

Our Soccer Ball Rolled Out Into The Street In Front Of A Garbage Truck. The Driver Stopped The Truck, Got Out, And Took The Time To Teach My Son Some New Moves. Made His Day
The driver was a former club-level soccer player in Haiti and couldn’t have been any nicer to my kid. Still had some great moves and took the time to show my 8-year-old some new skill moves. What a great moment he will remember forever.
Not only because it's like "aww sweet" but he's legit skilled and passing it on.
Load More Replies...What is it about great trash men? When my son was 2, he went through a phase where he was obsessed with trash trucks. Every Monday and Friday at 5:55am the truck would show up, my son would hear it, and we'd run out to watch it and wave at the guy driving. After about 8 months of this, one day the guy gets out of his truck and walks up and hands my son a little hot wheels car! Told him thanks for waving to him everyday, it made his day a little brighter. That started my sons collection of hot wheels (now at around 1500 cars, thanks to a neighbors donation), and he still remembers that nice trash man, over 4 years later..
People going through puberty also experience hormonal changes. Apart from physical development, people also go through emotional changes during this time. While these hormone shifts are a natural part of growing up, the intensity may vary from one person to another.
As you enter adolescence, you might have strong emotions that you've never had before in your life. You may feel anxious, upset, or lose your temper more than usual.
Cops Save Ducklings From Being Washed Out To Lake Superior. Officer Rieboldt Ducked Into A Storm Drain To Save These 8 Little Babies. The Ducklings Were Reunited With Their Mother
We cane upon a woman blocking traffic the other day with a frantic look on her face. That's when we saw the mama duck and 8 babies. My husband immediately jumped out to help her get them across the street safely. I told the lady, I don't know you, but I love you.

One Of My Students Wrote Me A Poem For My Cat Who Passed Away Last Month
In life, we all experience some level of stress, but sometimes a particular event can cause higher levels of stress. Excessive stress can cause you to have negative emotions like sadness, anger, and worry. If you’re going through a hard time in your professional life, it might make you question your skills.
This, in turn, might leave you feeling upset for not performing well on a particular project. We shouldn’t be hard on ourselves all the time. Sometimes, it’s best to take a break, relax and reenergize yourself.

The change in season may also affect your mood. When days shorten and temperatures drop, some people might experience winter blues. When it’s freezing outside, you might feel like being cooped up inside the house and not going anywhere. The lack of movement and overall disengagement from doing things are not good for a person’s physical and emotional health.
One should try to include home workouts or go for short walks to uplift their mood during this time. It’s recommended that adults should do at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity every week. It means that you should do around 30 minutes of workout daily.
Last Week I Underwent Surgery That Will Probably Change My Life
I’ve been an amputee for four years. Traditional prosthetic sockets would not work well for me, I was able use them for maximum 30 mins. That led me to use wheelchair most of the time. However, I have the same disease in my hands that I have in my feet and my hands have been getting worse the last year. By the time I was up for surgery I was practically stuck in bed with sore stumps and painful hands. This surgery will most likely lead to me being able to walk ALL the time. It’s like a dream, a painful and wonderful dream. It’s called osseointegration and is basically hammering a titanium implant into the bone which I will be able to attach prosthetics to. I’ll be trying my feet on in only two weeks!
Where the doctors attached my titanium implants, there is no pain. The bone grows around the insert and everything works like it did before. I am so grateful that there are replaceable body parts. :)

A Kid Posed With His Pilot Dad In An Airplane. Almost 30 Years Later They Recreated The Photo
Meet Captain Ruben and his son, First Officer Ruben. Captain Ruben flew with Southwest for nearly 31 years and inspired his family to pursue their dreams of flying too. Not only did his son spend his whole life working to become a Pilot, but his brother and cousin are now Southwest Pilots too! Captain Ruben shared many flights with his family before retirement, including his last flight from Omaha, Neb., to Chicago (Midway) with his son serving in the right-hand seat as his First Officer.

Our Daughter Is Obsessed With This Tree At Her Daycare. She Says Goodbye To It Every Day. Once She Even Showed It Some Artwork She Made
I love how happy she looks to just see the tree. A friendship that will last a lifetime
One day she will have to leave....., leaf....., leaves.... dammit that joke should work
Load More Replies...I think kids understand and see things that we don't. We just seem to lose that level of consciousness when we get older. So maybe she knows something about that tree that we don't. Maybe it's someone she used to know.
Disagreements or fights with a loved one can also hamper your overall mood. When you feel disconnected from people who are close to you, it can make you moody. Resolving the issue with your mother, partner, or friend might instantly make you feel at peace.
As humans we’re wired to focus on negative events far more than positive ones. This can also be the reason why we feel low sometimes. You should consider setting time aside to figure out the real reason for feeling disheartened. In some cases, the reason for your persistent sadness could be deeper.
When factors like depression, trauma, or grief affect your mood, it’s best to visit a doctor or consult an expert. We should not shy away from getting professional help when needed.
Today I’m Four Years Sober From Alcohol (Timelapse)
Today, I celebrate 4 years of sobriety from alcohol. It’s been a long journey, and I still occasionally crave alcohol, but life is beautiful, I have two cats and a wonderful partner - things I wouldn’t have if I hadn’t given up drinking. I'm not saying alcohol is bad, I'm saying I can't partake in it because it negatively affects my health.
If you’re one of those people who would say, "I'd drink to that," please pour yourself some bourbon whiskey because that was my drink of choice. Sometimes, I miss the burning sensation and the numbness, but life doesn’t have to be like that. If you’re currently struggling, hang in there - it gets better.
In my first year of sobriety, I had the opportunity to return to one of my jobs from before my downfall, and this time, I left on good terms. In my second year, I bought a boat and am currently fixing it up. In my third year, my partner and I adopted a bonded pair of cats. In my fourth year, I adopted a Husky mix from my stepsister after she said the dog was too much for her lifestyle. I love Maya the Husky, and she’s the dog I used to dream of when I was locked up during the pandemic.
Life is so beautiful. I’ve learned that I can’t drink alcohol - it’s not worth the cost of losing everything. There’s help available if you’re really seeking it, but ultimately, you have to make the choice not to give in to temptation.
This is the one that made me tear up - I’m back on Day 1 again but I won’t give up trying!
You've done it before and you can do it again! One day at a time

The Owner And Employees Of Our Local Pizza Shop Surprised Their Waitress For Graduating High School
Imagine this. You work in a corporate job and they celebrate your accomplishments by throwing you a pizza party. You work in a pizza shop and the celebrate it by giving you cash. Even the damn pizza shop knows better than to throw someone a pizza party.

But if it’s nothing serious, you can try to move towards happiness by enjoying the wholesomeness around us. Tough times make us value the good things around us even more. We should try being grateful for the little joys in life. Which one of these posts made you smile? Don’t forget to share this with someone who’s having a bad day.

And shout out to the folks who have paid for those tickets!
Load More Replies...I onced worked for a very stingy restaurant in a remote area. Manager was never around, and during the day we would sometimes find homeless people who had snuck into a certain quiet back area of the building for a snooze. I had an agreement with the cooks that they would put together a sandwich and a cup of soup and I’d add a can of soda and bottle of water and bring it to the person. We called it a “sandwich special” to be covert. “I need one sandwich special please!” Never got caught :)
I would not only go to this nice restaurant for a meal, but also pay for one for someone I know I will never meet.

About 16 Years Ago, I Made A Best Friend. I Met Him For The First Time Last Weekend
I was 15, living in Norway, and was really into computer games. I met a guy from Amsterdam through Steam (a computer game platform). We became really good friends and played games or watched movies over voice calls together almost every day for a few years. Time passed, and we slowly grew out of our regular routine of playing video games. We continued to stay in contact through Facebook. I ended up moving to the East Coast USA 11 years ago, and then moved to California in 2022. My friend's partner grew up in California, and I received news last Thursday that they had just arrived in California to visit her family. It turns out that they were only an hour away! After convincing my wife that I had to meet this guy, we planned a day trip to Joshua Tree.
Excellent! Friends should always stay friends, and to meet after that long is spectacular.
In October this yeae, I am going to meet a friend I met online 20 years ago for the first time real life 😁
Awesome story! Occasionally I got to meet someone I only knew through business phone calls. Of course you had to meet him!

My dad has shaved his beard ONCE since 1974 (in 1989). He HATED how he looked (and so did we) so he has kept his full beard since. Now it's snow-white and getting a little thin, but I still can't imagine him without it.

Due to back problems on top of that I once had to call for help to get the too heavy bathroom door open. Handicapped accessible my @$$. I read all this and realize I'm kinda needy. When did I get this old???? Last I remember I was like 36
Load More Replies...I sometimes use the handicap bathroom simply because I'm physically incapable of urinating if someone else is in the room. I don't know if that's a disability and I always feel a little guilty, but I've had to walk out of bathrooms still feeling like I'm going to burst because I couldn't get the flow started more times than I can count. Seriously, the moment the last person leaves the room I can go just fine, but I absolutely cannot do it if anyone else is in there. I can't even go to sporting events because of it.
Doesn’t that sign mean that this space is easy access? It doesn’t mean “disabilities only “. It means that this space is accessible for everyone regardless how they move. People get so confused over a sign.

Kids that age are so amazing. I've been teaching that age -- first Kindergarten, now Transitional Kindergarten, for decades. A few years ago, as we were doing our calendar activity, I mentioned that particular day was the birthday for one of my brothers. Later, when the kiddos were having free time, one of the little girls in my class handed me a handmade card. I said, "Oh, for me?" She said, "NO, Ms. Lyon, it's for your brother." Oh, my goodness. My brother lives two hours away, so I scanned that paper, all sides, and sent it as a happy birthday email. Her smile the next day when I told her he said he loved it was as breathtaking as her doing the card in the first place. That's the stuff that still has me in the classroom with those little people after so many years.
I LOVE kids pictures! Many's the time I have thought about going to a school that has art class and asking to buy some of them. I wish every school that had an art class or a shop class would have a show a couple times a year and would give students the chance to show (and maybe sell) their art.

I Asked A Movie Theater What They Do With All The Extra Popcorn When They Close And Walked Out With This
True story - I worked the dollar movie theaters in the 90's, where we would show movies that have been out for a few months. At the end of the night, we would put the leftover popcorn in big black garbage bags and then use it the next day for the first show. Now, whenever I go to the theater, i HAVE to hear the popcorn machine running and see it make popcorn before I buy any.
I was at a world heritage site and had coffee and cake. I told them the cake was real excellent and took the tour. When I walked out at closing time they asked us if we could help them. "Sure what do you want us to do?" ........ Could you please eat the last pieces of cake? They won't be good enough to be sold tomorrow.
I had a bunch of friends who worked at the local theater in high school and we got huge bags just like that all the time too

This is embarrassing, but I used to frequent a certain Roy Rodgers after work back when I was a nanny. I was usually exhausted after work and just needed food quickly because I almost never had lunch. (Which was totally my fault because I was too lazy to pack one) The workers got to know me pretty well and always remembered what I liked to order. I moved away after a while and several years later I stopped at a different Roy's one day. Crazy enough the guy who took my order knew my name! He used to work at the other Roy's and somehow remembered my name and order after all that time. :)
I was visiting a cafe almost daily while clearing my Aunt's house. Once that was done, I was never really in that area so didn't go to the cafe. About 6 months later I was there, so I went in and the barista said "The usual?". I said "I haven't been here for 6 months how do you even remember me?" and he shrugged and brought me the usual. I was touched, honestly.
I use to buy gas for my vehicle at different gas stations. Some gas station pumps will print out a receipt for you if you want one. So e don't. So you have to go into the store to get your receipt. A little more than a month ago I started to buy my gas at a Shell station. I have to go inside to get my receipt. There is always the same attendant in the store. Last time I got gas and went into the store/station I even didn't need to ask for my receipt. He automatically handed my receipt to me.
There's a Chinese restaurant near my home town. I'd always get the same thing. After living in another state for a few years, I came home. One of the first things I did was go to the restaurant. The server saw me come in, and quoted my order.

At 7-Eleven, I Asked The Cashier How Much For 8 Wings, She Said 10.50, Then I Asked How Much For 6, She Said 7.50. I Ordered 6 Wings. She Smiled At Me And Said “I Think I Understand”
She charged me for 6 wings, and when I got home, I realized she gave me 8 wings.
Wait, am I stupid? 8 wings for 10.50 is more expensive per wing than 6 for 7.50, or was that the point? (I thought it was because the person buying was short on cash)
its because she may have sensed this person was struggling to get by, so she handed him what he originally was wanting for the price of 6.

GMOs are both promise and peril. So-called golden rice is not as miraculous as people think it is - the Vitamin A in it is useful only when consumed along with oils that are not easily obtainable in regions where people grow golden rice. The best solution is a varied diet. We still need more research in how genes work. On the one hand, companies are free to advertise that they are GMO free. On the other, banning GMOs is going overboard. We just need to use our noggins.

A Stranger Paid For Me, Dried, And Folded My Laundry When I Was Completely Overwhelmed With Stress And Anxiety From School And Accidentally Fell Asleep
I was in my last year of university when I decided in my last semester that I would pick up another degree. I was taking 21 hours of classes, and most of them were intense and difficult.
One of these days, I started a small load of laundry in my apartment complex washroom. We only had one washer and one dryer (maybe 20 tenants in the small complex), so if you were one minute late to take your clothes out, you would come back to find them on top of the machine in a soaking (or steaming) pile.
While waiting, I sat down in my apartment to catch up on some projects and was so worn out that I fell asleep for hours, leaving my laundry in the washing machine. I was fully expecting (and okay with) finding my laundry in a soppy heap as I way overstayed my welcome. Instead, I came back to find my laundry dried and folded in a neat pile on top of the dryer. These are quarter-slot machines, so this neighbor also sacrificed $1.25 and went out of their way. No one would have faulted them for leaving the laundry atop the machine, but instead, they took the time to go above and beyond. As I said, I've never forgotten this. I found this sub yesterday, and this was the first thing that popped into my mind, 8 years later. I never found out who it was, but it made me like all of my neighbors a little bit more.
So wholesome! I hope you return the favor to someone in need someday!
This is awesome. Also, just have to say that I'm pretty sure that white washcloth with the red strioe, on the top of the stack, is a McDonald's cleaning towel. We have the same ones. 😂

After Nearly 18 Years Together, It Finally Happened
Myself and my wife had our 12-week doctor visit today as my wife is currently 12 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I am happy to report that mom and baby are perfectly happy and healthy to this point!

This whole experience has been the best kind of overwhelming.
I had lost hope for the future in the last couple of years. With sudden deaths, familial breakups, and life problems, there had been many nights that I prayed to the Lord to take me as I was too much of a coward to do it myself.
Now, I have rediscovered the fire and drive of my youth. I am bound and determined to give this child a happy life. I can’t wait to show and teach them the things that I was never taught or told. I am bound to continue improving my health so that I have a better shot at making it far into adulthood.
