Your favorite couple just got engaged! Watch this proposal!

Watch the mini proposal that Megan posted to her Instagram. There’s also the ring that is part emerald, her birth stone, and a diamond, his birth stone colliding together. It represents two of the same soul, because they believe that they are twin flames. Congrats you two lovebirds! …and then they drank each other’s blood.

And then there’s the ring…

Watch this perfect mix of The Golf Cart Orangutan and ‘The Sopranos’ theme… ‘Zoopranos!’ This is absolutely perfect and makes me wish there was a zoo version of Sopranos.

Time to give… blood!

This is the first time The Red Cross has declared a national blood crisis. According the American Red Cross they have “less than a one-day supply of critical blood types.” It’s the lowest it’s been in over a decade and doctors have been having to make difficult decisions. About 25% of blood needs aren’t being met in the average hospital. The shortage comes from many cancelled blood drives in 2020. They need all types of blood, but especially Type O.

If you’re a healthy person who can make a difference, check out their website on places around Chicago that you can go to give blood and maybe save a life in the process!

The first successful transplant of a heart in Maryland happened, with a PIG heart

It sounds like a sequel to the movie “Untamed Heart” featuring godsend Christian Slater and beauty Marisa Tomei. She falls in love with a man with a Baboon heart. This was an outrageous claim in the early 90’s but it’s 2022 baby and having a pig heart is a REAL THING! The first successful transplant of a pig heart into a human happened in Maryland. The 57-year-old man that received it had life-threatening heart disease and was willing to try it. Good thing he did too. He’s now in recovery- watch!

Is your iPhone working slow and you’re wondering what’s taking up so much battery? Yeah, you know about the “low power mode” option, but have you tried this? Go to Safari in Settings. Then instead of manually closing tabs, click “weekly.” Your phone will work faster and your battery won’t drain so quickly either. And let’s be real, you don’t want someone accidentally seeing what you looked up a week ago anyway.

A 106-year-old woman knows the secret to longevity…

106-year-old Dorothy Nedd turned 106 last week. When asked what had made her live so long she two specific things. Family and healthy diet? Lucky genetics and lots of medicine? Nope, nope, nope! Dorothy credits her longevity to the man above! And Big Mac’s from McDonald’s. It sounds crazy, but those are definitely sent from God if you think about it! She would usually get one after church on Sundays as a treat. When asked what she wanted for her birthday this year, Dorothy said, “sweet living!” Don’t we all Dorothy?

Did you know there’s a “marking system” for your food?

In this TikTok, a cook shows how they communicate orders in a “marking system.” Line cooks share information with each other without having to talk; they just simply place certain items in certain ways on the plate. For example, a jelly at the bottom, flipped up with butter next to it means that person will get a biscuit and not toast. Cheese slices, napkins, and sprinkled hash browns are used too. Have you ever noticed that the waiter might look at the plates too? How did they remember who had the wheat toast? Maybe they didn’t! The Waffle House employee got some flack from some restaurant workers saying the system was difficult and unnecessary, but their system works for them! Pretty rad!
