Most of the news this past week were more on the good side. And that’s weird. Time to start looking for more sources.
A hotel helped a woman recover a valuable ring that her late grandmother gave to her. Yay.
A student who struggles with stammering made a nice speech thanks to a special “Hollywood” remedy. His stammering was so bad, that just by him being able to make a speech actually brought people to tears, including folks who bullied him. The link has a video of it all unfolding.
Ah, it’s been a while since I posted any news since I haven’t done DGS all week. So, here we go with this week’s past news.
We got a bunch of veterans being treated like the heroes they are.
A group of Marines on their way home from Afghanistan got something they didn’t expect after spending five days getting on and off planes on their way to San Diego: cheers from a crowd of police officers, a fire truck water salute and first-class plane tickets.
There’s more about those plane tickets in the link.
Starbucks is doing things for veterans as well. Or at least, it’s planning to.
Because Starbucks values the skills and talents of men and women in the U.S. military, it has announced a strategic plan to hire at least 10,000 veterans and active-duty spouses over the next five years.
We always see and hear about how hard it is coming back after service and living a normal life. Good for Starbucks for doing this. And, in such a short period of time. See what else they plan on doing.
Here we go with another week of news. This is a really good collection. Check it out:
“These guys can’t stand western culture or music, making Britney’s hits perfect,” Owens explained. “It’s so effective the ship’s security rarely needs to resort to firing guns.”
Fridayyyyyyyy! November starts off with a bang. Very soon, changes to this blog will be made. So, take a picture. Bare with me in this now construction zone.

Suddenly, the Devil himself appeared in front of the congregation. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.
Soon everyone was evacuated from the church except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew, not moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God’s ultimate enemy was in his presence.
Now this confused Satan a bit, so he walked up to the man and said, “Don’t you know who I am?”
The man replied, “Yep, sure do.”
Satan asked “Aren’t you afraid of me?”
“Nope, sure ain’t,” said the man.
Satan was a little perturbed at this and queried, “Why aren’t you afraid of me?”
The man calmly replied, “I been married to your sister for 48 years.”
Border agents found a spooky Halloween surprise Thursday in three pumpkins someone tried to smuggle through the Montreal airport, authorities said — about four pounds of suspected cocaine.
The pumpkins were hollowed out, filled with about 2 kilograms of white powder in bags and recapped, the Canada Border Services Agency said. They were being transported Thursday morning by a suspect authorities would identify only as a female traveler arriving at Montreal-Trudeau International Airport.
Take a look at the whole story if you want.
Boy, these are some of my favorite good news. A bus driver, while crossing a bridge, noticed a woman was ready to jump off and end it all. He pulls over, hops out, and talks the woman out of it. What’s better, the bus’ camera captured the whole thing. Awesome. Hit the link to see the video.
And that’s it for today. Thanks for stopping by.

Halloween. Now, let’s just start this off by saying I don’t celebrate this holiday. After doing research on it, I have determined that this is something I can’t honestly back. However, I love candy. Also, I still think today can be fun. For instance, my church used to have a party on the 31st called “Harvest Fest” where you dressed up as Bible characters and played games. There was a contest…a costume contest, that was done every year. The last year we ever did the Harvest Fest, I won the costume contest. I was Moses and I had these big tablets for the ten commandments. The kicker was that I was one of three Moses’ there so I when I won, I really won. On Friday, I hope there’s plenty of weird news of trick-or-treat incidents. Wouldn’t that be swell?
