teen saves cop: I found this on Yahoo news:
Jamal Rutledge, 17, was handcuffed and sitting in the Fort Lauderdale police booking facility on Sept. 10, a few feet away from a desk where Officer Franklin Foulks was doing paperwork.
Only a few seconds pass before Rutledge gets up to check on the officer and immediately determines him to be in distress.
The handcuffed Rutledge then began kicking the security fence and yelling for help in an effort to alert other officers in the area.
Rutledge, along with the three other officers involved in
saving Foulks’ life will be officially honored on Jan. 21 at a city commission
meeting.
My opinion: That’s some good news after all the bad
news of young black men being killed by police officers.
Post Secret: This was on the website on Oct. 25, 2014:
“Being told how smart I was when I was little has ruined my
life.”
My opinion: That reminds me of parenting articles in
the newspaper where I read about complimenting your child. It’s about encouraging them to try and give
effort instead of just how smart they are.
“May. 1, 1969: I had a baby girl and gave her up. I
know it was the right thing to do but self hate and shame are still with
me. I pray she is happy and has a good life.”
There is a picture of a sign that says Safe Surrender Site
with a silhouette of a baby: “We will never know anything about you- not even
your name, we DO know how much courage it took to make the decision that you
did. THANK YOU! Because of that
decision we have a beautiful and amazing daughter.”
“Everytime there is a school shooting, I hope that my high
school peers remember how they treated me.”
Get enough sleep: I found this Yahoo article on Jul. 23, 2014 called “Getting 8 hrs
of sleep a night- you might just want to cut back.” Here’s an excerpt:
“The lowest mortality and morbidity is with seven hours,”
Shawn Youngstedt, a professor in the College of Nursing and Health Innovation
at Arizona State University Phoenix, told the Wall Street Journal. “Eight hours or more has consistently
been shown to be hazardous.” Experts still generally recommend the range of
seven to nine hours nightly for healthy adults, but the ideal number seems to
have dropped ever so slightly. It’s why both the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention has funded a partnership with the American Academy of Sleep Medicine — the National Healthy
Sleep Awareness Project — to discern how to best update recommended sleep
guidelines in the coming year, and why the nonprofit National Sleep Foundation
is doing the same.
Sandra: Cut back???
Seriously. I barely get 5 hours a night. I'm friggin
exhausted all
the time. I'm up at 6 am, get the boys up, get them breakfast, make lunches, get them dressed, have them out of the house by 7:00, get them to daycare. I'm at work by 8:00. work til 4:00. shop, plan supper, start supper, pick them up from daycare, get home before supper burns. Starts the laundry, tries to clean house, tries to have time to just play with my boys, feeds them, gets them into the shower, covers whatever homework is assigned to them, get them in pjs. gets them to sleep, folds the laundry,cleans the dishes, figures out what bills I'm paying today. Dust, vacuum, laundry. Try to figure out what the heck I'm going to pack them for lunch tomorrow. I go to bed about 12:00. Can't sleep cause my mind won't turn off regarding what has to be done when 6:00am comes again. If you can please tell me your secret

My opinion: We should all get 8 hrs of sleep. Also reading Sandra’s comment was
overwhelming. In her case, it’s about
time management and prioritizing. You
should make sandwiches for lunch and make it the night before so you aren’t as
rushed in the morning.
Danish dad wins lottery: I found this on Yahoo “Danish
dad shocks sons with nearly $3 million lottery.” There is a video and the sons faces are
blurred. They look like they’re in their
late teens and early 20s. The dad had an
indirect approach to telling them the news.
Dad: I have to tell you something.
Son: Is it bad?
Dad: No.
At first he gives them some cash. Then later an iPad and more cash. Then he tells them he won the lottery. The sons are like: “Oh my god!” lol. You can watch the video here.
Daredevil eaten alive by anaconda: This was quite
awhile back, but here’s a 3min interview:
Paul Rosolie was deliberately eaten alive by an anaconda for
an upcoming Discovery TV special. The daredevil recounts what it was like to go
into the belly of the beast.
My opinion: I didn’t watch the special, because I’m
not really into nature and animal shows.
I heard about it on the radio station 91.7 The Bounce. The DJ said she watched it, and the last 7
min was where he gets eaten alive. The
majority of it was trying to find a big enough anaconda.
Truck goes up in flames: This truck flips a few times
and blows up. Fortunately, nobody got
hurt. You should check it out:
Jan. 25 Raider’s player charity: I found this on
Yahoo news:
The Raiders offered young Ava, who has
undergone 14 different procedures on her heart, the opportunity to
"captain" the team, and gave her signed gear and toys throughout a
visit with the team. Offensive lineman Menelik Watson, so touched by Ava's
condition, donated his entire game check, $18,000, to help with the expenses of
Ava's family.
Saving a child: I found this on Yahoo news:
A bystander who intervened in what police called the attempted
abduction of a baby in an East Vancouver grocery store
Saturday says he had to pull the would-be abductor's arms off the child.
Pipher, 26, walked into his
neighbourhood grocery store, Donald's Market, to get provisions for a late
breakfast Saturday morning.
"I was thinking I've gotta get this
guy away from her, the mother, away from the child and away from anybody
else."
