"We went to Walmart today, and my nephew Lakken happens to see an elderly man that was having a hard time shopping and finding things due to him not being able to lift his head up and see straight.
He can see the ground and barely the sides of him, so that’s when my nephew Lakken looks at me and goes, ‘Aunt Ry can I please help him?’ I said, ‘Yes.’
My nephew went up to the man and asked him if he would like some help. His eyes lit up and said, ‘Well, yes that would be amazing young man, thank you so much.’ Lakken was running all over the place for this man and he was so happy.
The man told us he hasn’t had help in years, and he was so happy he ran into an amazing smart young man like Lakken!
I was so proud of him! Lakken went and helped him check out and bag his stuff as well and had them call the show bus. The man tried to tip Lakken and my nephew said, ‘Oh thank you but I don’t need this. I enjoyed helping you, you keep your money’. I’m beyond proud of my nephew Lakken.
You don’t see or get many people, let alone children, who do these things for people.”

There are whole LAKES , inside our oceans. Mike DeGruy sent his submarine deep down into the Gulf of Mexico. The submarine BOUNCED OFF the lake they found (surrounded by mussels). He died after the release of this footage. As above so is below #Firmament 😱
I immediately go silent when something upsets or hurt me. It’s a coping mechanism that I’ve been developing over time. Instead of expressing my anger or frustration, I simply withdraw and try to process my emotions in private…
Do you ever feel that older cities are just more interesting than new ones?
Well, it isn't just because they're old.
It's because of something called "vernacular architecture"...
In 1991, Michael J. Deas approached Jennifer Joseph with an offer to serve as the live model for the new Torch Lady logo of Columbia Pictures. Deas, renowned for his photorealistic artwork, aimed to create a timeless representation with strong features, and Joseph perfectly fit the desired criteria.
The photo shoot took place in Deas' New Orleans studio, with photographer Kathy Anderson assisting. Deas captured Joseph's likeness during the session, which he then translated into a painting, ultimately becoming the new Torch Lady. Deas' updated design portrayed a three-dimensional figure with intricate details on her robe and torch, encircled by a radiant light.
Since its introduction in 1993, the new Torch Lady has undergone minimal changes and continues to stand as a symbol of Columbia Pictures' rich history in the entertainment industry. Joseph had no inkling that her image would gain such widespread recognition, yet her contribution to the project played a pivotal role in crafting the iconic logo we know today.
Bred for endless puppies. Tied up on a chain. Down to just 12.5kg (25lbs). Unrecognisable as a Golden Retriever.
That was 3 weeks ago. I told Tina she'd get a special treat if she survived and got up to 20kg.
Today she got her 100 tennis balls...
