Do you allow your dog to sleep on your bed ❤

11/02/2025

Well R***r saved me a hospital trip maybe even my life. He has never bitten me beside playing but today while walking the lake as we always do he became pretty aggressive nipping at me then wrapped my leg and his dew claws really dig in I turned to scold him and he ran around me like trying to avoid me.
I turned to grab him and found him confronting a copperhead backed against a log, fighting to protect me until I fetched a stick to assist. Tears nearly filled my eyes as I realized he risked his life to save me. I sat down with him, embracing him tightly. Without a doubt, he's my guardian. The title of the best dog ever unquestionably belongs to him. Rather have this cut that the bite from that copperhead any day.
Thankful for my best friend.

Did you know that French fries, the world's most beloved snack, were born out of a moment of frustration? The story dates back to 1853 in Saratoga Springs, New York, at Moon's Lake House, where George Crum, a talented chef of African American and Native American heritage, was making waves with his culinary skills.
One day, a particularly fussy customer complained that Crum's potato chips were too thick and soggy. Determined to prove a point, Crum sliced potatoes as thin as paper, fried them until crispy, and heavily salted them, assuming the customer would be displeased. To his surprise, the guest was delighted, and soon, Crum's "Saratoga Chips" became the talk of the town.
Interestingly, George Crum never patented his invention nor reaped great wealth from it. However, his creation became a local phenomenon, eventually spreading beyond Saratoga Springs and evolving into the French fries we adore today. Crum continued to refine his craft at Moon's Lake House before opening his own restaurant, which attracted the elite eager to taste his famous chips.
George Crum's ingenuity serves as a testament to how a single inspired moment can leave a lasting legacy. The next time you enjoy a crispy French fry, take a moment to honor the creative mind of the chef who transformed a complaint into a timeless culinary treasure over 170 years ago. His legacy lives on in every golden, salty bite.

Julia Roberts once said:
"When people bring you down enough, it seeps into the cracks of your self-esteem, and before long, you may find yourself judging your own worth. Words, especially negative ones, are like seeds—heard enough, they begin to dissolve, shaping the way you see yourself. It’s all too easy to let their voices drown out your own until you believe their opinions hold more truth than your own understanding of yourself.
But here’s the truth: no one else can define who you are or what you’re worth. You are more than their judgments, more than their passing criticisms. You carry a power that may be hidden right now, but it’s there, waiting for you to reclaim it. Every time someone tries to bring you down, take it as a reminder not of your limitations, but of the resilience you have to rise above. You are not a product of other people’s opinions; you are a product of your own dreams, your own efforts, and your own beliefs.
So when negativity comes your way, your peace has the power to filter it out, to let go of what doesn’t serve you, and to hold on tight to the truth that empowers you. Stand tall, trust the voice that knows your worth, and never stop choosing self-love over self-doubt. You are not who they say you are; you are who you decide you are.
How do you protect your self-worth when someone tries to bring you down or make you doubt yourself?"

The marble sculpture of Moses by Michelangelo, created from 1513 to 1515, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing human anatomy. Notably, the tiny muscle in Moses' forearm, which only contracts when lifting the pinky, is visibly tensed in the sculpture. This attention to anatomical precision highlights Michelangelo's mastery.

Henry Cavill said that the most difficult part of making the movie "The Man of Steel" (2013) was definitely his two shirtless scenes. He had been training for months prior to filming, but for his shirtless scenes, he went on an extremely difficult diet and training regimen in which his calorie intake was cut from five thousand to nearly fifteen hundred for six weeks. After six weeks, he reached a body fat level of just seven percent, the level achieved by professional body-builders during competitions. Henry said he did this because he wanted to make his abs as pronounced and his muscles as defined as humanly possible, to create the best possible Superman physique. Cavill returned to a more manageable routine after the scenes were shot, but felt his effort was rewarded when audiences and critics alike praised his physique for the true embodiment of what Superman would look like. After he had shot his shirtless scenes, director Zack Snyder gave him a tub of ice cream and pizza to reward him for his Herculean effort for the shirtless scenes.
Snyder said that he really wanted to include a shirtless scene of Cavill in the film, because throughout the film, you see him in a form-fitting body suit where he appears extremely muscular. He said the audience would think it was all rubber muscles, but it was important to show them it was indeed Cavill's body in that suit, and that it was all real.
Cavill naturally has a hairy chest, and left it untouched for the shoot of this movie. He insisted that Superman has chest hair in this film; he rejected the notion that just because you are muscular, you should not have chest hair, and cited the Superman comic book "The Death Of Superman" as being an iconic representation in which Superman had a hairy chest.

Pe**te is a small, spineless cactus native to northern Mexico and the southwestern United States, known scientifically as Lophophora williamsii. It's prohibited in Mexico. The cactus grows to a height of 2 to 7 cm and a diameter of 4 to 12 cm, with the part above ground called the "corona." This corona consists of disk-shaped sections that contain mescaline, a psychoactive compound.
Pe**te flowers, which can be white, pink, slightly yellow, or reddish, bloom during the day and measure 1 to 2.4 cm in length and 1 to 2.2 cm in diameter. After flowering, small pink fruits appear, which turn brownish-white when dried. These fruits are fleshy and contain black, pear-shaped seeds that are about 1 to 1.5 mm long and 1 mm wide. Pe**te has a bitter taste.
The cactus thrives in limestone soils and thorny desert scrub at altitudes between 100 to 1,500 meters above sea level, which helps protect it from predators. Pe**te grows very slowly, taking over 30 years to mature and flower. Within its genus, L. williamsii has the highest concentration of mescaline.
Mescaline, a compound similar to dopamine, has psychedelic effects primarily due to its interaction with 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors, though its affinity is lower than that of LSD-25. A psychoactive dose of mescaline is about 5 mg per kg of body weight, with each pe**te button containing around 45 mg. The effects begin about 30 minutes after oral ingestion, as mescaline is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. The oldest pe**te plants have the highest mescaline content, which varies from 0.7% to 3.5% by weight, depending on environmental conditions and soil quality

"I hope you have a minute for some good news. Well, it was good. Then it was bad. And now it's good again. This is Rick. For the last couple of years, Rick has been quietly mowing lawns around Chickasha, OK, free of charge, for people who can't do it themselves. A lot of lawns. 274 last year. Closing in on a goal of 300 this year. Until someone decided to steal his mower a few days ago.
With the help of a few very generous people, this afternoon a new mower was purchased and delivered to Rick. I have never met anyone so grateful and appreciative! Rick is a veteran and on a fixed income, and didn't have the funds to replace it.
Speaking of veterans, one of the recipients of his kindness is a 97 year old veteran of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Rick's payment is the joy he gets from helping someone in need and sometimes, a cold glass of lemonade. Bless you sir for what you're doing."

Zach Galifianakis Paid Old Homeless Woman's Rent for Decades & Spent Time with Her as She Lost Her Family
When Zach Galifianakis met Marie "Mimi" Haist, she was volunteering in a laundromat, surviving off tips left by customers. She was only allowed to sleep between the washers and dryers so customers couldn't see her.
Haist revealed that she became homeless after her divorce and had been on the streets for decades. Even though Galifianakis was an unknown comedian at the time, he found a comfortable apartment for her and paid her rent.
Galifianakis became a Hollywood star after filming alongside Bradley Cooper in the "Hangover" movie trilogy. However, his fame didn't affect his heart, and he remained down-to-earth.
He maintained a strong bond with Haist and even walked a red carpet with her as his date.
"If he's in town, he takes me ... I dress up nice, and a friend helps me with my makeup. It's fun, not something I've ever dreamed I'd experience. The limo takes me home afterward," revealed Haist.
Their friendship lasted nearly 27 years until she died at 96 years old.

Thanksgiving Letter From Grandma!
Dear Family.......Living is still important to me.
If being in my Last Will and Testament is important to you, then you might consider being with me for my favorite holiday. Dinner is at 2:00. Not 2:15. Not 2:05. Two. 2:00! Arrive late and you get what's left over.
Last year, that moron Marshall fried a turkey in one of those contraptions and practically burned the deck off the house. This year, the only peanut oil used to make the meal will be from the secret scoop of peanut butter I add to the carrot soup.
Jonathan, your last new wife was an idiot. You don't arrive at someone's house on Thanksgiving needing to use the oven and the stove. Honest to God, I thought you might have learned after two wives - date them longer and save us all the agony of another divorce.
Now, the house rules are slightly different This year because I have decided that 47% of you don't know how to take care of nice things. Paper plates and red Solo cups might be bad for the environment, but I'll be gone soon and that will be your problem to deal with.
House Rules:
1. The University of Texas no longer plays Texas A&M. The television stays off during the meal.
2. The "no cans for kids" rule still exists. We are using 2-liter bottles because your children still open a third can before finishing the first two. Parents can fill a child's cup when it is empty. All of the cups have names on them and I'll be paying close attention to refills.
3. Chloe, last year we were at Trudy's house and I looked the other way when your Jell-O salad showed up. This year, if Jell-O salad comes in the front door it will go right back out the back door with the garbage. Save yourself some time, honey. You've never been a good cook and you shouldn't bring something that wiggles more than you. Buy something from the bakery.
4. Grandmothers give grandchildren cookies and candy. That is a fact of life. Your children can eat healthily at your home. At my home, they can eat whatever they like as long as they finish it.
5. I cook with bacon and bacon grease. That's nothing new. Your being a vegetarian doesn't change the fact that stuffing without bacon is like egg salad without eggs. Even the green bean casserole has a little bacon grease in it. That's why it tastes so good. Not eating bacon is just not natural. And as far as being healthy... look at me. I've outlived almost everyone I know.
6. Salad at Thanksgiving is a waste of space.
7. I do not like cell phones. Leave them in the car.
8. I do not like video cameras. There will be 32 people here. I am sure you can capture lots of memories without the camera pointed at me.
9. Being a mother means you have to actually pay attention to the kids. I have nice things and I don't put them away just because the company is coming over. Mary, watch your kids and I'll watch my things.
10. Rhonda, a cat that requires a shot twice a day is a cat that has lived too many lives. I think staying home to care for the cat is your way of letting me know that I have lived too many lives too. I can live with that. Can you?
11. Words mean things. I say what I mean. Let me repeat: You don't need to bring anything means you don't need to bring anything. And if I did tell you to bring something, bring it in the quantity I said. Really, this doesn't have to be difficult.
12. Domino's and cards are better than anything that requires a battery or an on/off switch. That was true when you were kids and it's true now that you have kids.
13. Showing up for Thanksgiving guarantees presents at Christmas. Not showing up guarantees a card that may or may not be signed.
Love You, Grandma
