Nebraska Woman Buys A Box From The Salvation Army And Finds Ashes Inside

A Nebraska woman received more than she bargained for when she recently bought a  wooden box from the Salvation Army.

She bought the mysterious box for $2.99 on Monday and discovered soon after that the top was “stuck.”

“We came across this box and I really like boxes and stuff,” Marlene Moore told KETV. “And I picked it up to check it out and everything and I couldn’t get it open.”

The reason why the lid wouldn’t come off as because the box was actually an urn. After unscrewing the bottom, the mystery deepened when she discovered a bag of ashes inside.

“I didn’t expect to find a box full of ashes,” she said. “I really didn’t.”

“This is by far the most bizarre thing we have come across,” Moore’s friend Philip Walter added.

A zip-lock bag of cremated remains was inside the box, with no identification except for the name Anderson on the bottom of the box.

“I kind of felt obligated to try to find this family that it belongs to and everything,” Moore said. “It’s the only right thing to do.”

Moore took to social media at that point, tracking down funeral homes and asking around the Salvation Army to see who donated the strange object. Not 24 hours after Moore bought it from the store, the Salvation Army found out whose it was.

Wade Anderson recently moved from Nebraska to Florida, and in the shuffle of the move, the box was accidentally placed with other items being donated to the Salvation Army.

“If it’s a wooden box, then it’s my dog,” Wade Anderson told KETV.

Anderson lost his beloved pooch a few months ago, and thanks to great record-keeping, Salvation Army employees were able to figure out when the item was donated, and who it came from.

Anderson said he’s grateful somebody like Moore found it.

“Many thanks,” Anderson said. “I’m so lucky to have it be purchased by someone that was so thoughtful and cared enough to get it back to the right person and owner.”

The Salvation Army has been in contact with Anderson. They said they’re going to ship the urn back to him in Florida. You can hear the whole story below:

We’re happy to see Anderson will soon be reunited with the remains of his beloved animal. If you enjoyed this story, please SHARE with friends and family.

Zoolander

Bet you never knew that once upon a time GOP Presidential hopeful candidate fancied himself as a bit of an actor. For that matter, Mr Trump made a number of appearances on the big screen (and the small) mainly during the mid-90s. He was never really much of an actor, as the only role he could ever really assume properly was that of his own. That fact is what actually makes him the most popular GOP frontrunner, as basically, Donald Trump says what he means and means what he says. Even if many of his outbursts are controversial, to say the least. That being said, Donald Trump did appear alongside some A-list actors, like Will Smith, Tim Daly and Macaulay Culkin to name but a few. Here are 15 classic Donald Trump Cameos that we hope you’ll enjoy…

If you thought ice cream in a decadent waffle cone was the world’s greatest invention, you don’t even know the half of it.

A coffee shop and bakery in Prague has come up with a delicious way of altering the typical ice cream cone by creating ice cream donuts.

They look too good to be true:

#icecreamcone #cream #donut #icecreamdonut #food #foodporn #summertime #foodjunkie #marbella #spain #

A photo posted by Tobbe Johansson (@toby_zeh_man) on

The Good Food Coffee and Bakery was inspired by a traditional Czech dessert called trdelníks, which are mouth-watering “donut cones.”

However, this bakery added a little more sugar and a flavor for excitement and the result is amazing:

The decadent treat is made by wrapping donuts around a cylinder until they achieve their desired cone shape:

The cone by itself is a luxury, but they don’t stop there:

#trdleník #delicious #traditionalczechfood donuts will never be the same again after this

They are then coated with some kind of preserve that keeps the dough from getting soggy as the ice cream melts. In this case, Nutella acted at that lining, and it’s making my mouth water:

The, ice cream, whipped cream, cherries and all other toppings are plopped on top for a snack that is really more of a meal:

If you’re ready to fly to Prague to get one of those incredible treats, call me because I will likely be sitting next to you on that plane. And if you know a dessert lover who would drool over these ice cream cones, SHARE the sweetness with them.

Melania Lavish Taste

As the saying goes “Behind every successful man there’s a successful woman” and in Donald Trump’s case, nothing could be closer than to the truth. That being said, Donald’s current wife, Melania Trump, is a real looker and that fact is undeniable. We aren’t suggesting for a moment that Mr Trump, who is currently the frontrunner for the GOP nomination, only married for looks, oh no! Perish the thought! We are sure that the bond between Donald and Melania is a tight one, and is far deeper than something just ‘skin deep.’

That being said, as the other old adage goes: “opposites attract” and that is certainly the case here. Donald Trump is an extrovert, outspoken and always in the public eye. His wife Melania on the other hand is far more of a reserved character, rarely seen up on whichever stage Donald is dominating and seems to prefer to keep herself to herself, as best she can. However, there are some interesting facts about Melania which we felt we just had to share with you, and here are 12 things we are almost sure you never knew about her…

8 Little Known Facts About The Business Of Selling Girl Scout Cookies

There are few things in this world more appealing than a Girl Scout Cookie.

Every March, we eagerly await for these cookies to come in so we can wrap our greasy little fingers around them and devour the entire box whole (cardboard and everything). Thin Mints are easily one of the best cookies ever made and the fact they are only available once a year makes our mouths water for them all the more.

In fact, this is part of the Girl Scouts fabulous marketing strategy. Because we can only get them in late Winter (a time when we are all eager for something sweet and sugary), we’re likely to buy them every time the offer is made. The Girl Scouts have a few other savvy business tricks up their small sleeves, and they might just surprise you.

1. Girl Scouts are encouraged to treat cookie selling like a business:

While going door-to-door is fun, it’s also a serious business strategy that helps these young girls learn how to be businesswomen. The cookie selling teaches the Girl Scouts how to set goals, make business decisions, manage inventory, and gain confidence to deal with a wide range of people. It should come as no surprise that Girl Scouts of the USA claims that 52 percent of the country’s businesswomen were once Girl Scouts.

2. Besides raising funds for their troop, the Girl Scouts can also earn serious rewards:

They come in all shapes and sizes, but there is a lot of incentive to be the super seller of your troop. Prizes can range from special badges to even earning an iPad. However, some real incentive to raise money as an organization are the perks that the troop can gain. They can go to camp together, earn money for travel, and receive a variety of other bonuses.

3. Many of the cookies are vegan, gluten-free, and kosher:

All Girl Scout cookies are kosher and have been for years. In fact, Peanut Butter and Thin Mints are all of the above. Likewise, Gluten-free Trios and Toffee-Tastics are now in their second year and growing in popularity.

4. There are some places where Girl Scouts cannot sell cookies, but the savviest of businesswomen ignore this rule:

Seeing the Girl Scouts hawking cookies outside your local grocery store is fairly common, but you’d be hard-pressed to find one outside a liquor store. That’s because these kinds of locations are off limits. Marijuana dispensaries are off-limits too, but that didn’t stop one future entrepreneur.

In 2014, one 13-year-old set up shop in front of a medical marijuana dispensary in San Francisco and sold 117 boxes in two hours (she did it again in 2015 and sold 208 boxes).

5. The Girl Scouts stand up for what they believe in:

[Credit: KTNY]
[Credit: KTNY]
As aspiring leaders, these young women don’t let injustices slip through the cracks. When scout Lily DeRosia saw a news story saying that workers at a Kellogg’s cookie plant that makes the cookies were complaining about forced overtime, she wrote the company to oppose the practice and urged her troop to send the company a petition.

6. Girl Scout cookies have caught up with the digital revolution:

You can now buy Girl Scout cookies online. For a substantially increased shipping and handling price, relatives across the country can buy cookies thanks to Digital Cookie 2.0. The service even allows sellers to record their own promotional video.

7. If you don’t want to buy cookies, you can still buy cookies:

While the Girl Scouts may not be the Wolves of Wall Street, they are encouraged to ask people for donations, even if the customers don’t want any cookies. One popular option is Operation Cookie Drop. The program not only sends cookies to troops overseas, it also helps scouts meet their box sales goal if they’re a few boxes under their goal at the end of the sale.

8. Some flavors flop:

When we think of Girl Scout cookies, Thin Mints and Somoas are likely the first thought that comes to mind, but do you remember Mango Cremes? (Yeah, me neither.)

Some cookies have stood the test of time, while others have gone to the grave.

We all want to live in a beautiful home that’s flooded with tons of natural light. In fact, simply having glass instead of walls would be preferable, if it wasn’t for the privacy issue. Nobody wants nosy neighbors watching them eat their risotto on an average Tuesday night.

Well, one Vietnamese architecture firm learned how to create a cocoon that floods with natural light, but also keeps nosy neighbors at bay.

Landmak Architecture created a stylish home that was the result of redesign. Originally tasked with a renovation and restoration, the design team took an opposite approach. They went back to the drawing board and made it as sleek and modern as possible.

The decorative pattern of the walls obscures passersby from seeing inside the home at night, but the many notches and holes allow the room to be flooded with outdoor light.

Wisdom is the world’s oldest known wild bird and she has enough life experience to earn her name three times over. Wisdom is an albatross that researchers have been tracking since 1956 at Hawaii’s Midway Atoll. The species is already known for living a long time, but at 65-years-old this one is breaking longevity records by almost a decade.

And while Wisdom is at a time in her life when most would begin to settle, Wisdom is still going strong. In November, Wisdom returned to the atoll to lay an egg that her and her mate have been incubating since. On February 1, researchers say tiny Kūkini finally broke through the shell.

Not bad for a bird that will soon be eligible to receive social security.

Wisdom may not be the oldest bird alive, but she is probably the most impressive. The oldest known bird alive lives in captivity.

She’s an 82-year-old cockatoo named Cookie living in the Chicago-area Brookfield Zoo.

While Cookie may have a leg up on Wisdom in years, Wisdom has clocked in many more miles living in the wild. The albatross has flown approximately 3 million miles or “six trips from the Earth to the Moon and back again,” noted Bruce Peterjohn, Chief of the National Bird Banding Laboratory.

Monsoon season in Seoul, South Korea can be a rough time. Gray skies overhead can lead to gray hearts, and that’s something the city doesn’t want.

The same goes for Seattle, Washington, where it rains about three days a week. In response to the dreary time of monsoon season and massive precipitation in Seattle, artists have taken to the street with a vibrant way to lighten the mood.

A team in South Korea started a campaign called #ProjectMonsoon, where they created incredible works of art on the street with a special kind of paint that becomes vivid when hit with water.

Here’s a photo created by the team that shows the streets before and after:

The pictures are ordinarily an opaque gray that blends with the streets, but when the rain pours down, so does the color.

Seattle artist Peregrine Church was inspired by this idea and came up with his own way of brightening the bitter cold days up North. He uses a special kind of waterproof paint to share inspiring messages and quirky thoughts (but only if it’s raining).

Four stray dogs were given a second chance at having a happy life when they were picked up and trained to be “ball dogs” for the Brazil Open.

The strays were rescued from a Sao Paolo animal shelter and given another use. They were tested out during an exhibition tennis match between Carballes Baena (Spain) and Gastao Elias (Portugal).

Frida, Mel, Isabella, and Costela were trained to bring back any stray balls that went flying.

“We want to show that abandoned dogs can be adopted and trained,” Andrea Beckert, a trainer from the Association of Animal Wellbeing, sad to CNN. “After all, it’s not easy to get a dog to only pick up the lost balls, and then to give them up!”

The dogs performed fantastically well, with one catch: it was a little hard to get them to give the balls back after they retrieved them.

With the upcoming elections not such a long way away, it got us thinking about all our past Presidents. After all, where there’s power and politics involved, there’s always scandals, and almost always sordid affairs of some kind. It’s a well known fact that many past US Presidents had affairs, but we were shocked to find that there were at least 15! As well as practicing dirty politics, some Presidents practiced other dirty stuff in the oval office, more than just making global deals. That being said, so far at least, there hasn’t even been the slightest hint of President Obama having any sort of affairs, other than perhaps a slightly weird one with the ayatollahs of Iran.

Let us delve down and get out hands dirty (not literally) as we look at past Presidents who were rumored to have had mistresses…

When it comes to saving lives, more is definitely merrier.

So when Joline, an adoption counselor with St. Bonnie’s Sanctuary rescued Gemma a sick German Shepard, everybody at the shelter was shocked by the surprise inside.

It took a few weeks for Gemma to recover from her skin disease and illness. However, after Gemma was administered the proper treatment over a lengthy period of time, she began to recover.

Slowly the dog put on weight, and once she was at her healthy, normal weight, she still continued putting on weight:

That’s because Gemma’s life wasn’t the only one at stake. Gemma was pregnant with five puppies, meaning Joline didn’t save JUST one life, she saved a stunning six lives.

George W. Bush

We could have a real field day on this one, as we take a magnifying glass to previous U.S Presidents and their IQ’s. But before w e delve deeper we need to be crystal clear about one thing. The formal IQ test that we know and love today was only invented in 1905 A French psychologist called Alfred Binet. That being the case, one can only speculate what the ‘IQ’ of Presidents who reigned before that time was, and that is just what UC Davis professor Dean Simonton did back in 2006. In his groundbreaking study, Simonton used something called historiometrics to estimate what former President’s IQ’s would have been based on books they wrote, speeches they gave and the like. Interestingly, according to the modern day IQ scale, most former Presidents were pretty smart, relatively speaking and it seems they occupied The White House for good reason. Just bear in mind that the IQs presented here are estimates, and should be seen as such.

So a penguin walks into a bar…

No, this is not the start of a joke: it’s the start of an actual news story. In Tasmania, Australia, patrons at the Customs House Hostel found a penguin outside the drinking establishment.

Veterinarian Dr. James Harris told The Mercury, “It obviously came up out of the water and wandered around and got lost, as children often do,” commenting on the penguins young age (he was clearly too young to be wandering into a bar. He would have never even gotten past the bouncers at the door).

When patrons finally found the penguin hiding under a car for shelter from the heat, they wrapped him in a towel and brought the little guy inside:

Rather than giving the adventurous youngster a cold one, they opted instead for a drink of water, which was likely what he really wanted.

Then, animal control was called and the penguin ended up in rehabilitation until he is strong enough to be released into the wild.

This guy has certainly had quite the adventure, but fortunately he is right where he belongs now. If you found this story as adorable as we did, please SHARE with an animal lover who will get a kick out of it.

We often villainize homeless people and get paranoid that they might try to rob us, but in reality, many homeless people are some of the most generous people out there despite having almost nothing themselves.

After a night out in London, 21-year-old Nicole Sedgebeer realized she had missed the last train back to her home. At first, she figured she could wait out in the train station until train service resumed, but by the time she got there, the doors to the station had been locked.

Nicole began to panic, as she was completely alone with nowhere to stay in a bad neighborhood, yet just as she was about to start crying, an incredible homeless man named Mark became her guardian angel and made sure she found somewhere safe to stay.

“Just as I was about to burst into drunken tears I met my homeless friend Mark,” Nicole wrote in a Facebook post. “He said he would take me to a cafe that was open as it was too dangerous to walk by myself. He left me after a coffee and a chat and explained that he had to go get his sleeping bag but he would be back at 5 to walk me back to the station.”

When it got a little past 5, Nicole figured Mark wouldn’t return, so she began walking by herself back to the station. But as she turned a corner, she saw Mark running down the street toward her.

“Not only did he turn up but he had to get a bus to come get me. This man who I probably would of avoided eye contact with if he asked for spare change, completely changed such a negative event into the most eye opening event in my life. Mark you are one special man, I will never look down on a homeless person again. This was also his first ever selfie!”

Teacher Gives Encouraging Letter To Students: ‘Tests Do Not Define You’

In a world where you are made to feel like tests define you, one teacher is letting her students know they are more than a standardized test score. 

On the day before her Pleasant Crossing Elementary School students were scheduled to take their ISTEP exam, this teacher left a really encouraging note on their desks. 

9-year-old Rylan Fallis was shocked when he saw the special note accompanied with a cookie on his desk, and later admits to his mom that he was embarrassing for crying in class. Ryan told his mom Abby Fallis that he cried because he was happy about the letter his teacher gave him. Ms. Fallis even admits, “When I read it, I cried too.” 

“The scores you will get from these tests will tell you something, but they will not tell you everything,” the letter read. “These tests do not define you. There are many ways of being smart. YOU​ are smart! You are enough! You are the light that brightens my day and the reason I am happy to come to work each day. So, in the midst of all these tests, remember that there is no way to ‘test’ all of the amazing and awesome things that make you, YOU.”

Abby Fallis wrote in her Instagram post: “We need not just more teachers like her, but also more people like her in this world.” 

A majority of the text in the letter sent by the teacher who wishes to remain anonymous, was taken directly from a letter written by blogger Kimberly Hurd Horst. Her letter went viral in 2014.

Anyone who lives in a city knows how common it is to see a homless person on the sidewalk begging for change or sleeping, and for the most part, people try to avoid eye contact and ignore them as much as possible.

So when one Baltimore man named Jonathan Stormz saw a homless man laying on the ground, he thought nothing of it until a teenager walked by. Stormz had been waiting for his bus inside of a bus booth, and was curious to see what the teenager was doing when he stopped and stood over the man.

Stormz had been waiting for his bus when witnessed the moment a young man was about to walk by, but then stopped and nelt near a homeless man’s feet. According to Stormz, the unknown teen touched his shoe, and started praying over him, and he knew immediately he had to share this incredible gesture with his friends and family.

Hero’s Quick Reaction Saves Boy From Getting Struck By Flying Bat

Christopher Horner:Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

A fan at the Pittsburgh Pirates game had a close encounter with a bat that flew into the stands on Saturday. 

The little boy was nearly struck in the face by the bat as it slipped from a players grip and went flying in the air. The boy was on his phone at the time and didn’t see the bat heading towards him. 

Luckily, a real-life hero shielded the blow from the bat who reached out in front of the boy’s face and blocked the bat with his arm. 

The terrifying incident was caught on camera, and it showed Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Danny Ortiz losing his hold on the bat and flying into the stands at the Braves’ spring training stadium. 

After the game, Ortiz told the paper that he had no idea he had set off a dramatic sequence of events until he got home.

“I didn’t know what happened, if it (hurt) the boy or anything,” he said. “I went home and my wife said to me, ‘You almost killed that kid!'”

The photo below shows the bat doing a 180 after it misses the boy’s face.

This was an incredibly close call, and we are happy that no one was hurt.

It reminds us of this moment below where a dad caught a foul ball while holding his baby:

It may take a lifetime for some people to get the justice they deserve, but sooner or later, the truth always comes to light…

A Chinese woman who was feared to live the rest of her life in a vegetative state has undergone a miraculous recovery, waking up from an 8-month-long coma.

However, even though Lin Yingying’s story is one to be celebrated, what she revealed after her harrowing ordeal left everyone shocked. Although local media had reported that the 22-year-old’s boyfriend Liu Fenghe was by her bedside throughout the past few months and had spent thousands of dollars on her hospital bills, Lin told the news he was the one who caused the head injury left her in the vegetative state.

[Liaoshen Evening News]
[Liaoshen Evening News]
The touching story turned into a real-life nightmare when Lin revealed Liu had beaten her after she burned bread at the factory where they work, in what she said was not an isolated incident.

Although Lin regained the ability to speak in May of 2015, Mashable reported that she just chose to speak out about her abusive boyfriend recently, after being pushed from her father.

Lin said her father told her “You have died once, what more are you afraid of? It’s time to confront reality.”

The South China Morning Post reported that Lin’s father finally reported to the police that Liu was not who he claimed to be.

At just three weeks old, a puppy should be exploring their new surroundings, and being showered with love. But instead, this 3-week-old Pit Bull named Jake was trapped in his new owner’s backyard shed after it caught on fire.

Luckily for the scared and helpless pup, neighbor and firefighter Bill Lindler spotted the smoke, and immediately ran to put the fire out and save Jake. While Jake was safe, 75 percent of his body had been covered in bad burns.

Jake was brought straight to the vet to treat his burns, but days later when Lindler called to check in on him, he found out that Jake’s owners abandoned him at the vet when they found out how much his care would cost.

Lindler had become attatched to the puppy he rescued, and he and his family knew instantly that they would take him home and give him a family that would never abandon him.

After Jake was able to heal and grow, he was sworn in on December 8th, 2015 by the city of Hanahan to become the mascot for Lindler’s fire department.

While being sworn in, Jake took the K-9 Oath of Office: “I, Jake the Fire Dog, as the Mascot for the City of Hanahan Fire Department, do hereby promise to help make kids smile with my charming personality and help them to learn about fire safety and what to do in an emergency situation. […] No job is too big or too small where kids are concerned.”

Originally Lindler had hoped Jake could become a therapy dog for burned children after he survived such a traumatic burn, but instead, he decided that Jake would be perfect for teaching kids about fire safety and one day work as an arson detection dog.

We’ve all been warned to look out for the obvious signs of cancer, so when this mom and dad noticed a bump in their daughter’s mouth, a scary diagnosis like cancer was the furthest thing from their mind.

After visiting a handful of dentists and other doctors, Paul and Keri Mosier found out that instead of a new tooth, their 7-year-old daughter Harmony had a rare form of cancer that had formed a tumor in her mouth. “We went to a dentist, orthodontist, to oral surgeons and finding out it was cancer didn’t even cross my mind,” said mom, Keri.

Harmony decided to cut her hair short so that it wouldn’t look as bad when the chemotherapy started to make her hair fall out, but despite the treatment, she’s looking on the bright side. With all the attention, “It’s like my birthday every day,” she said.

Harmony needs to undergo 12 weeks of chemo treatment and surgery, which are both extremely costly. To help the family, their friends, family, and the rest of the community has come together to raise over $27,000.

“It’s humbling to see how many people have reached out in a number of ways including that,” said dad, Paul. “Allowing people that love us to express it in all the ways that they have.”
