  With the way the world is today, it’s hardly a surprise many people are forced to work their fingers to the bone just to get by. You’ve likely heard plenty about those individuals who try to take advantage of the system; the small few who seem to glide by without working, somehow managing to stay afloat without working, benefitting from the kindness of others. Yet for every ‘freeloader’, there are hundreds of honest, down-to-earth folk who strive to make ends meet by putting the hours in. Some such people may struggle financially, but they still show up, day in, day out, taking on as many hours as possible in a bid to pay their way in life. If reports are to be believed, Bethany Provencher is one such individual. A hardworking, single mom with an 11-year-old son, a few years ago she packed up their things and moved to St. Charles, Illinois for a fresh start after 18 years in Miami. Bethany signed a lease for a new apartment in The Magic City, and was able to secure a job at a loc...

  Diane’s mom left her with her aunt and uncle while she traveled through Europe, meeting several men. Diane waited for her mom to come back until she realized the truth when they reunited years later. “Mom, I want to go with you,” 8-year-old Diane said while her mother, Erika, was grabbing her packed bags. “I’m sorry, child. I’m going on a business trip. You can’t come with me this time. When I come back, we’ll go to Disneyland together,” Erika said to the little girl. “But where will I stay?” Diane asked. “You’re going to stay with your aunt Karina and uncle Roger. Isn’t that exciting? My sister loves you so much,” Erika explained. She drove little Diane to Karina’s house and said goodbye to everyone. “You’re going to have so much fun here that when your mom comes back, you won’t want to leave with her,” Uncle Roger told her. Diane had a lot of fun, but days turned into weeks, and her mother would barely call once every few days. She promised to return soon with lots of gifts for...

  The "Don't Stop Believin" singer and former golden-voiced frontman of Journey, stunned fans and critics alike when he walked away from music at the peak of his power. Decades later, Steve Perry was named one of the greatest singers of all time by Rolling Stone. Now, his long road through heartbreak, loss, and healing has finally come into focus. From Arena Icon to Vanishing Act Though he stayed out of the spotlight for years, his influence never faded. Placing him at No. 70 and born on January 22, 1949, Perry became a rock legend with his soaring vocals on timeless anthems like "Oh Sherrie," "Don't Stop Believin'," and "Open Arms." His soulful voice influenced generations of rock musicians, including Chris Daughtry, Chad Kroeger, and Rob Thomas. Randy Jackson, Perry's former bandmate and "American Idol" judge, praised him as one of rock's most distinctive voices. Jackson said, "Other than Robert Plant, there...

  I gave my scarf and last $100 to a shivering girl at the train station, thinking I'd never see her again. But when I boarded my flight, there she was in first class! "What does this mean?" I asked her, and her answer left me reeling. I stood in front of a long glass conference table, facing down 12 board members who watched me with expressions that could freeze lava. I took a breath and clicked to the first slide. "Good morning," I began. "My name is Erin, and I'm here because I believe no young person should ever end up on the street, fighting to stay alive." "I believe no young person should ever end up on the street." A few of them exchanged skeptical glances. I continued anyway, voice gaining strength. "My project is a transitional support program for teens aging out of foster care. We focus on safe temporary housing, job readiness, and long-term mentorship." I paused, hoping someone would show a sign of interest. Nothing....

  Even before her death at seventy-nine, the "Something's Gotta Give" star's signature look was as iconic as her celebrated film career. Yet behind the bold suits and ever-present hats lay a profoundly personal story of health battles, self-preservation, and quiet strength. In one of her final interviews, Diane Keaton revealed that her style wasn't just a statement — it was a shield. It was also a way to protect, to express, and to remember. "A turtleneck, suit, large belt and of course a hat and glasses [sic]!" she told People magazine. "Some things will never change for me." Skin Cancer, Family History, and Why She Covered Up Keaton's love for high collars and broad-brimmed hats wasn't just about fashion — it was survival.

"I re...

  If you’ve ever gone treasure hunting in your grandparents’ home, you’ve likely dug up an unusual tool or two that leaves you scratching your head. Recently, an online user shared a photo of some metal instruments that – if not for the nut-shaped bowl they sit – look like little weapons. Netizens jumped in with their thoughts, sharing various uses for these odd objects, one even suggesting it’s used to “locate cavities.” Keep reading to learn more about this unusual tool! We’ve all heard of a nutcracker, not the ballet with the dancing Sugar Plum Fairy but the metal tool designed to crack the shells of nuts. The tool, which resembles pliers, typically consists of two hinged metal levers or arms, usually serrated, which are connected at the top. The nut is placed in the jaws of the nutcracker, and pressure is applied by squeezing the levers together, which then cracks the shell, allowing access to the edible part inside.
