A mother and her three young children were trapped inside an upside-down SUV that was filling with water in a Florida canal.
One of the little boys was banging on the door, screaming that his mom’s head was underwater.
That’s when Casey Curtis heard the cries and ran toward the canal. He reached the submerged SUV and started pulling the children out one by one, getting all three to safety.
But their mother was still inside.
Casey went back to the vehicle and found her unconscious, still buckled into her seat with her head underwater. He lifted her face above the water, realized she wasn’t breathing and gave her a breath right there in the canal.
She started breathing again.
The mother spent several days in intensive care, but she survived. All three of her children survived too.
Those kids watched a stranger pull them from a sinking SUV, then turn around and go back into the water for their mom when she couldn’t save herself. Casey Curtis is the kind of person people should know about.
It's stunning when you realize exactly how many things trump f*cked up in less than 2 years.
HILARIOUS when a song nails it perfectly.
THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!🔥🔥🔥
Gatorade used to have brominated vegetable oil in it, BVO, which is patented as a flame retardant and was banned in Europe and Japan. A 15 year old named Sarah Kavanagh read the label in 2012, looked it up, and started a petition that got 200,000 signatures. PepsiCo took it out in January 2013 and said it wasn't a safety decision, FDA allowed it, they were responding to customers. Coke and Pepsi took it out of everything else in 2014. Mountain Dew kept it until around 2020.
FDA didn't ban it until August 2024, after NIH studies found it builds up in tissue and affects the thyroid. It had been sitting on FDA's interim additive list since 1970. By the time they got around to banning it, every major company had already taken it out on their own, and the reason they did was a 15 year old with a petition.
Gas is $5. People are mean (and disgusting). Netflix and Disney+ and HBO and whatever else is now $25 each. Half of us developed an alcohol sensitivity from repeated covid infections but a drink out would be $15 minimum anyway. It’s 107 degrees. There’s glass in the popsicles.
I heard someone say, satan got Adam and Eve to fix their eyes on one tree when God had already given them an entire garden, think about that. The enemy didn't have to convince them that they had nothing. He just had to make them forget everything that they already had. And he still, till this day, uses the same strategy. He gets us to focus on relationships we don't have, the job that we don't have, the opportunity we don't have, the healing we haven't seen yet. Meanwhile, we are blind to the countless prayers god has already answered. Gratitude isn't pretending you don't want more, it's refusing to let what you don't have make you forget the goodness of God that's already surrounding you.
Every year since his Passing I always go back and watch this Performance. It always makes me sad man because he passed away not too long after this. The song is Beautiful man. He hid so much pain behind his smile you can see it in his eyes. RIP Mac Miller
🚨THIS IS INSANE!!!
A daughter drove HUNDREDS of miles to check on her sick 75-year-old father... only to find the locks changed and a Ring camera on his door.
When she climbed through a window to reach her own dad, SHE got arrested for trespassing.
Then she was told, THROUGH THE DOORBELL, that he was no longer alive and that the NURSE who "took care of him" actually now OWNED HER DAD'S HOUSE.
This happened in Conway, South Carolina, and it will make your blood boil.
Her name is Nora Rowland.
Her dad was Robert Rowland, 75 years old and a vulnerable man living with Parkinson's and a brain injury.
Nora and her father were incredibly close. A "daddy's girl," she said. They FaceTimed every single week.
Then, in early 2024, a nurse named Sarah Smalls started caring for Robert through a home care company.
And that's when Nora says her dad started to disappear.
The weekly calls slowed. Then stopped. Something was wrong.
So on Father's Day, when she didn't hear from him, she got in her car and drove from Baltimore all the way to South Carolina to check on the man she loved.
When she got there, his front door had been replaced. A Ring camera was watching her. She couldn't get into her own father's home.
So she climbed through a window. And police arrested her and her partner for TRESPASSING... at her own dad's house.
And then, over that Ring doorbell, she was told her father had died.
Nora says that in the weeks before her father died, that nurse had the DEED to his house signed over to herself.
...and the family wasn't told until he was already gone.
To be clear... man with Parkinson's and a BRAIN INJURY, who was classified as a vulnerable adult was allowed to SIGN HIS HOME AWAY.
In Nora's own words: "He would never think that someone could do this to him. I really can't emphasize enough how many other people could easily get taken advantage of like this."
Her trespassing charges were dismissed, s now she's fighting in court to get her father's house back.
The nurse refused to comment. The care company claimed they knew nothing, but Nora says she has subpoenaed documents proving otherwise.
Police are still investigating.
