Ah yes, as I said, we’re bringing back what is far and wide the most successful featured post in DALANEL history: Daily Good Stuff. I do hope you enjoy. And, if you don’t know, I usually post a scripture, quote, joke, video, image, fact, weird/funny news, good/positive news, and holiday.
So, let’s get this classic post going.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. Oscar Wilde
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” Matthew 7:1
Take a look a this:
I made that myself because I’m awesome like that. You can choose whether it’s true or not.
It’s video time!
Okay but that Justin Bieber one was sad. Want a joke? Here’s something:
A photographer from a well know national magazine was assigned to cover the fires at Yellowstone National Park. The magazine wanted to show some of the heroic work of the fire fighters as they battled the blaze.
When the photographer arrived, he realized that the smoke was so thick that it would seriously impede or make it impossible for him to photograph anything from ground level. He requested permission to rent a plane and take photos from the air. His request was approved and arrangements were made. He was told to report to a nearby airport where a plane would be waiting for him.
He arrived at the airport and saw a plane warming up near the gate. He jumped in with his bag and shouted, “Let’s go!” The pilot swung the little plane into the wind, and within minutes they were in the air.
The photographer said, “Fly over the park and make two or three low passes so I can take some pictures.”
“Why?” asked the pilot. “Because I am a photographer,” he responded, “and photographers take photographs.”
The pilot was silent for a moment; finally he stammered, “You mean you’re not the flight instructor?”
You probably heard of “Dumb Starbucks” right? It’s a coffee shop basically spoofing Starbucks.
Alright, we’ll wrap it up here. Sometimes I wonder if I should bring this series back. Maybe.

A 7 year old leads a charge to donate to a family that is supported by a woman’s shelter.
By the end of the year Kathryn had saved more than $54. “We thought that Halton Women’s Place in Burlington would be excellent (to donate to),” wrote John. “In late November we found out about the program that HWP offers whereby you can sponsor a family who needs it the most.”
Healey’s Allstate office team wanted to contribute to what his daughter had started. “Through passion and dedication we were able to cover off all of the requests on the family’s list,” he wrote. In the end, the effort raised a donation of $750 to the family supported by the shelter.
Good job, Kathryn!
Next, a little boy jumps out of a moving car to save his grand father’s life. Not kidding:
Sullivyn Vedaa and his grandfather Ronald were driving to a relatives home for Christmas dinner on Wednesday night when Ronald went into diabetic shock. Sullivyn, who was sitting in the backseat of Ronalds Chrystler 300 noticed his grandfather acting strangely and very sleepy. When Sullivyn realized Ronald was not responsive, he decided to jump out of the moving vehicle and run to the nearest house to call for help.
Yeah…there’s your action movie star right there!
Did I mention that kids are awesome? Because, they kind of are.

Man, it’s the day before Christmas. I guess you have some last minute shopping to do so let me get this post done so you can get out there.
Okay, now this round of good news warms my heart. An 11 year old uses his birthday to honor his late sister by feeding the homeless, which is something she was all about.
My new blog, Dante’s Funny World, as I expected, is performing very well for its first three days. It’s hitting milestones that DALANEL just hit this year. Yeah. However, with DALANEL making some changes, I’m hoping that it can keep up. But, head on over there if you want to laugh. I won’t be mentioning that blog all that often though. Anyway, it’s time for some good news. Are ya ready? Let’s dive in!
In many cases, that’s true.
