Weekly News 16

This piece of news is terrific. Here’s a couple of stories from a couple of cabbies. One guy saved a man who apparently had fallen, and couldn’t get up. They say, by the cab driver calling 911, he likely saved the man’s life. The other man helped a woman give birth right in the cab. Hope he got those seat cleaned. There’s just so much life here.

We all know it’s getting a little colder, at least for Tennessee. And one car dealership is trying to make a difference. They’re going to donate coats for over 60 local area kids. Awesome. Check out the simple quote for why the head of the dealership is doing this:

‘We’ve been here almost 30 years and Dyersburg has been good to us. We wanted to give something back.’

Cool. Or…warm. Ha.

Daily Good News 9

So, some good news for DALANEL: I’m at 950 followers as I write this. Yeah, the blog’s following has exploded since hitting 800 just a couple of weeks ago. Simply amazing, although the viewing has gone down to pre-crazy numbers. Ew. There’s another announcement I want to make, but, not yet. Ch-ch-ch-changes, baby!

Anyway, let’s get it on with the latest good news and such.

Things have been crazy in Egypt. It’s to the point where Egyptian officials have detained a bird…because it’s no ordinary bird. It’s a spy! You need to read the article to understand what happens next.

In good news, one of the sources I use to find good news, Good News Network, is celebrating its 16th birthday. I just want to give a big thanks for all that they do. They helped inspire me to do this blog (although I had been doing this before I stumbled upon the site). Make sure you support GNN!

This guy has 6,000 barbie dolls. A man. With a pink room. Of Barbie dolls. What more do you need to know? I don’t know…I guess it’s better than collecting Ken dolls…? I don’t know.

I love stories like this. Okay, so a police officer ended up in some trouble while trying to make an arrest. So this homeless guy steps in to help. The police for now is his personal guard. I mean, like, they keep an eye on him that he always has shelter. Cool. Be kinda awkward if they ever have to arrest him…

Weekly News 1

It’s the first Weekly News where we look at this past week’s satire, good, and weird/funny news. Let’s get started:

Did you hear the one about the dead shark found on a NYC train? No one knows how it got there. I mean, all those people…the city that never sleeps…and we still don’t know…

No more fat kids! And I’m not trying to be funny here. The obesity rate for kids is dropping! Let’s celebrate by eating some cake…oh wait…

Okay now we’ve talked about some crazy news. And in my research, I’ve seen some stuff. But this is one of the oddest things. You ever have a problem finding a parking spot at the grocery store? Perhaps you live in an apartment complex or at least visiting someone and can’t get a spot? Welp, in London there’s a parking spot up for sale…for$465,000. What in the bloody…but wait, you own it for 91 years. It’s leased to you for 91 years. Just, wow.

Daily Good Stuff 147

Just a heads up, apparently I didn’t label a DGS post and so I’m behind one number. So you’re going to see me skip a number. Instead of 148, tomorrow will be 149. Just me fixing a mistake.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. Henry David Thoreau

“Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.” Jonah 2:8

One day, there was this lawyer who had just bought a new car, and he was eager to show it off to his colleagues, when all of a sudden an eighteen wheeler came out of nowhere and took of the driver’s side door with him standing right there. “NOOO!” he screamed, because he knew that no matter how good a mechanic tried to fix it, it never would be the same. Finally, a cop came by, and the lawyer ran up to him yelling. “MY JAGUAR DOOR WAS JUST RUINED BY SOME FOOLISH DRIVER!!!” he exclaimed. “You’re a lawyer aren’t you?” asked the policeman. “Yes, I am, but what does this have to do with my car?!?!” the lawyer asked. “HA! You lawyers are always so materialistic. All you care about is your possessions. I bet you didn’t even notice that your left arm is missing did you?” the cop said. The lawyer looked down at his side and exclaimed “MY ROLEX!”

Yikes, those things are expensive! I’d bet arms are too though…
