"True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost." THANK YOU, VETERANS!!!!
Britney Spears describes meeting Mariah Carey in new memoir:
“At an award show I knocked on her dressing room door. She opened it, and out poured the most beautiful, otherworldly light. You know how people have ring lights? More than 20 years ago, only Mariah Carey knew about ring lights.”
Tori Kelly was rushed to the hospital and is in the ICU being treated for blood clots around her vital organs, TMZ reports.
Doctors have discovered clots in her legs and lungs, and are working on determining if she has any around her heart.
Ted Murphy is a resident of East Palestine, Ohio.
Ted lives right near the fallout site and moved his mother immediately after the derailment, but before the explosion.
Sunday after the derailment, he came back to her insulin and encountered the chemical fallout. His skin later became red "like he had fell asleep on Myrtle Beach all day" and his lymph nodes became sore.
"I inhaled that air and I thought I was going to frickin' die. I almost wrecked my fri**in' truck," Ted said. "The road looked like a wet ribbon."
"I'm not moving back into my house. I just got done doing all that work on the inside of it."
"I just bought all new appliances, new furniture, new beds. I made my mom a brand new home. Now I gotta leave. It ain't right."
"The creek is dead. You go and step on rocks now and there's oil that comes out around the rocks."
"Dead newts. Dead lizards. Dead salamanders. Dead fish. Dead snakes. Dead frogs. Everything in that creek is dead."
"I gotta find somewhere to live!" Ted added.
"I'm not worried about money. I'm worried about my health. I'm worried about all my nieces and nephews health."
"I want to be here long enough to see my grandson grow. That's about the most important thing in my life."

“LOVE your neighbor as yourself.” If love was simply an emotion God wouldn’t command it. It’s more than an emotion it’s an act of the will to put someone’s well being above your own.
Happy New Year!! If 2022 wasn't a good year, remember: the pain you've been feeling can't compare to the joy that's coming! May 2023 bring you health, wealth, and new blessings to count each day.
