My brother and I definitely had our ups and downs while we were growing up, but I was never quite as inventive in my ploys to undermine him as this hilarious little girl. She actually presents a pretty solid case for getting rid of her little bro after she and her dad agree that he’s simply too silly. The solution: sell him to a pet store. Don’t worry, folks. She has a plan for buying him back, too. (If there’s any money left after investing in a toy owl for herself, that is.) This definitely isn’t the first time she’s thought about selling her brother. Hey, toy owls don’t come cheap, you know. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/brother-for-sale/
Retired veteran Chad Flemming served two tours of duty in Iraq where, like many military vets, he unfortunately suffered both physical and emotional wounds. Anxiety and PTSD followed him home along with his injured leg. The stress can sometimes feel overwhelming for individuals in his circumstance, but recently he was happy to find someone who really understood his pain. His new best friend helps him feel more comfortable and at ease, and Flemming returns the favor. Mikko, a shy pit bull mix, took some time to warm up to his new human friend. YouTube / WCCO – CBS Minnesota The poor thing was rescued one day before he was scheduled to be euthanized and it was clear he’d previously lived a sad, neglected life. YouTube / WCCO – CBS Minnesota But after just a few days together, both the pup and man knew they’d found a true companion: (via The Dodo) Clearly, these two were meant to be part of each other’s lives. It’s amazing to watch someone’s life turn around with just a little extra love — and this time it happened twice. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/army-pit-bull-ptsd/
When this adorable pup is challenged to a game of hide-and-seek by his little human friends, he jumps into action. Unfortunately, his success is short-lived after finding them due to their hiding spot deciding to hang around for his victory lap. It’s honestly like watching a cartoon character, but this pup is 100% real and 100% really hilarious. I have a feeling this isn’t the first time they’ve tricked the cutie into this hilarious predicament. And definitely not the last! Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/dog-pool-hide-and-seek/
Before finishing their college degree, approximately one in five women will be subject to some level of sexual assault. The volume of violence against young women seems impossible to ignore — and yet, more often than not, that’s exactly what happens. But…what if it was a bear? What if a giant, hungry, angry bear was pounding down your door. For some women, that’s exactly what it feels like just walking to class. This video may seem silly, but its message is important for everyone to hear. Not the greatest odds, huh? It’s time for us all to stand up and make a difference in the safety of young women and girls everywhere. Visit It’s On Us for more information and to see how you can help spread the message and save lives. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/sexual-assault-vs-bears/
One of my biggest regrets is not taking advantage of the stories my 90-year-old grandmother could have shared with me while she was alive. Like Clara Cannucciari, who has also now passed on, my grandmother lived through the Great Depression and likely could have shared similar recipes with me if I’d given her the chance. Thankfully, Clara’s family had the good sense to capture her warmth, stories, and recipes before it was too late. Each of the delightful videos showcases a meal Clara and her family survived on during one of the bleakest eras in U.S. history. Even while pushing a century on this planet, Clara’s sweet personality shines through the camera while she peels potatoes, sautés onions, and serves up the dishes they were able to piece together on their meager funds. Watching as she blends together the ingredients and listening to her memories of the time will fill your heart with happiness and, if you follow along, your stomach with delicious, budget-friendly food. Here she recreates the typical breakfast they would have each morning. And in this, she treats her grandson and his friends to a favorite: The Poorman’s Meal. I definitely encourage you to check out more of her charming videos over on her YouTube page. And if you’re lucky enough to still have your grandparents or great-grandparents around, give them a visit or a call and just listen to what they have to say. Even if they’ve gotten a tad grouchy with the passing years (they’ve earned the right to be!), you’ll still be so glad you did. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/great-depression-recipes/
The Young@Heart chorus based in western Massachusetts is comprised of senior citizens ranging from their early 70s and beyond. Established at an elderly housing project in 1982, the program has given countless aging individuals an exciting, fun, and productive pastime to look forward to each day. During a performance in 2007, 83-year-old Fred Knittle stepped on stage to perform the lead vocal in their cover of Coldplay’s “Fix You.” Though he had retired from their group a few years before and was struggling with health issues, his incredible voice still managed to bring the house down. Prepare for your heart to melt. Sadly, Knittle passed away just two short years after this stirring performance. But thank goodness they captured this amazing moment so his legacy can live on. You can find more of the chorus’s beautiful renditions over on their YouTube page. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/young-at-heart-fix-you/
