Hey, if you missed the big party yesterday for DGS 200, check that out. Meanwhile, let’s get through this day. Are you ready? Let’s go!
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
You knew this was coming. If you didn’t, let me talk about it a little. I take my favorite parts from previous DGS and combine into a grand feature. The first time I did it, it was 1-99. Today, 101-199. It’ll follow the same as the first one. My favorite five of these:
So, with that in mind, let’s get started!
Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship. Margaret Mead
It’s that time again! The latest, weird news, good news, positive news, and funny news.
First, we heard about the Kenya Mall attacks. And now, in the aftermath, we have to carry on (at least they do). Well, some youngsters are calling for unity, not reprisals.
“As Kenya searches for answers, Kenyan police and citizens must be careful to avoid the unjust profiling and hatred that will divide rather than heal a grieving people,” they wrote in the CS Monitor. “We know from experience that the best response to violence is through compassion, compromise, and community dialogue.”
For weird news, this is an update to a story I posted back in April. Read that first to catch up. It’s about a man who lost $500 because his dog ate it. Here’s the update:
Klinkel said he didn’t hear a word from the department until Monday, when he received a crisp $500 check in the mail from the Mutilated Currency Division to replace Sundance’s midday snack six months prior.
Nice. Good for him.
Okay, we have the shutdown going on but that’s not stopping people from doing good. Federal employees that are furloughed thanks to this shutdown are giving their time fixing up a church. I know “awwwww!”
How many of you love candy? Anybody like beer? How about candy beer? That’s right. Candy beer. And you can’t say “beer candy”. It’s candy beer. Yup, you can infuse candy flavors into the beer. Check out how it works:
Randall Jr. boasts a simpler design for home use. It looks like a clear travel mug, but one with a double-decker lid. There’s a wire mesh that screws on top of the clear plastic cup, straining whatever is poured out of it, and a green cap that screws on top of the mesh, sealing the contents for freshness.
Simply place the ingredients you wish to infuse into your beer – be they hot peppers, fruit, herbs or candy – and then fill the chamber with beer, screw on the lid, and place it in the fridge for 20 minutes.
I just…I don’t know. The full story gives even more details.
For good news, and perhaps even funny news, a couple announced their baby in a pretty cool way:
Smith and his wife Chanel, both 24, posted a photograph to Instagram showing them slurping a spaghetti dinner next to a jar of Prego pasta sauce. To the top of the jar they taped a sign saying, ‘We’re’ so that the entire message read: ‘We’re Prego.’
“It was deliberately slightly quirky to bring across the very serious message of the value of bread as part of a healthy balanced diet,” he said. “There are nutrients and vitamins that people actually get from bread. Contrary to what people think, it’s a low-fat food as well.”
For this first go at weird news…well I’ll let the article explain it:
Yafet Askale, 28, denied entering the vehicle that police set up with a dye-trap in Harlesden, northwest London, to catch thieves in June. But he was found guilty of stealing objects inside the car after police produced photos showing his face covered with the liquid, invisible under normal light.
You have to hit the link. There’s a picture of him with the green. It’s creepy!
Next, we have a super hero. Yes, a man lost his job. So, the next logical thing of course is to dress up in tights and a mask and go outside and help the local community! The name is Captain Manchester. Good luck, sir.
A little girl, ten years old, raised $1,000 dollars for a bulletproof vest for a police…dog. Got ahead; take a look. I don’t always do animal stories like this but why not?
A 19 year old has a plan to clean the oceans of the world in five years. Listen…I actually don’t completely understand how it’s going to do it. But, he’s got people behind him so good for him. Did I mention he’s 19? Here I am; just a 22 year old on a keyboard. Sigh.
Whew! We made it to the end. Thanks for reading. I can’t wait to see what crazy stuff happens this next week.

Remember one my 100th DGS, when I selected my favorites from 1-99? Welp, expect the same scenario. I’ll pick my favorites from 101-199. Just a heads up. Okay, on with the post.
A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. Charles Spurgeon
It’s the middle of the week. I’ve been on a writing tear lately with 11 posts since Saturday. My Wedturday posts are going into November. Oh, Wedturday is a combination of Wednesday and Saturday which are the days I normally post non featured posts. Anyway, I should be slowing it down a bit as I get myself together with this cantata. I have a really cool helper this year. She helped me last year too so she’s got some experience too. I’ll let you know in a post in a week or two.
Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof. Khalil Gibran
