Toddler has adorable response when mom asks for a lick of his ice cream cone – In The Know
Posted: August 4, 2022 at 2:34 pm
This hilarious video of a toddler who wont let his mom have a lick of his ice cream cone has hearts melting all over TikTok.
TikToker Kayleigh (@kayleigh.gray.2020) is a full-time parent from the UK who often posts adorable clips featuring her darling son, Grayson. Recently, Kayleigh shared a video of Grayson enjoying an ice cream cone, but when she asked if she could have a lick, the toddler had an adorably honest response.
The clip opens with a shot of the little boy seated between his parents on a park bench. He holds an ice cream cone with both hands and happily devours it, one satisfying slurp after another.
Clearly living his best life, Grayson stares off into the distance in a trance-like state. However, his moment of sugary bliss is interrupted when Kayleigh asks, Can mummy have a lick?
No. Dont be weird, the toddler immediately retorts as if this were the most preposterous request in the world.
Kayleigh and her partner start cracking up over Graysons frank refusal. The video ends the same way it began, with Grayson slurping up his ice cream cone.
Kayleighs video had hearts melting all over TikTok like ice cream in the summer sun.
Such a cutie pie! I love the way he slurps it, complimented one user.
Is this animated? So cute, said one TikToker.
Other viewers playfully defended Grayson for being territorial about his ice cream cone.
Aww, thats my guy! I dont want to share my ice cream either, one ice cream lover shared.
Ice cream makes you speak up for yourself, mate, encouraged one user.
Wow, kids are getting way too advanced. It must be the ice cream, another viewer joked.One lesson viewers can take away from Kayleighs video is to not get between Grayson and his ice cream.

Stranger Things Addresses Depression and Mental Health in the Most Crucial Way – Goalcast
Posted: at 2:34 pm
Warning: Some may find the following topics triggering.
Since it premiered on Netflix back in 2016, Stranger Things has captivated audiences with its compelling mix of sci-fi/horror and good ol 80s nostalgia. The mysterious world of the Upside Down came with terrifying monsters the characters had to defeat, but this seasons villain, Vecna, is the most horrific yet, and not for the reasons one might think.
Sure, Vecna is powerful, with abilities that surpass even Elevens. But what makes him so scary is that he is the personification of depression, trauma, and suicidality. Through Vecnas targets Chrissy, Fred, Patrick, and especially Max Stranger Things Season 4 presents the most heart-wrenching yet cathartic allegory for depression and suicide.
The most potent allegory comes with Max Mayfields main storyline. Shes dealing with immense depression over the death of her stepbrother Billy, who was killed last season by the Mind Flayer.
Between these two seasons, the guilt seems to have eaten away at her, because the very first episode presents a Max who is a shell of herself. Her wit and personality have been replaced with an aura of sadness. She blames herself for her brothers demise, and consequently, suffers from survivors guilt, believing she could have done more to save him. Her nightmares and flashbacks are signs of PTSD. Her witty personality is dampened and shes isolating herself from her closest friends. Shes seeing the school counselor but has trouble opening up to her.
These are all symptoms of depression, and as if this illness wasnt difficult enough to endure, Vecna steps in to make it even worse. It is revealed that he is the one inflicting the nightmares and flashbacks, amplifying the immense feeling of guilt, feeding into her deep sorrow.
Its clear Max is suffering terribly, especially as signs of suicidal ideation begin to make themselves very apparent.
After Vecna murders Chrissy and the others, he continues to torment Max with horrifying visions, feeding her false belief that shes to blame for Billys death and adding to her psychological instability. Eventually, in Episode 4, Dear Billy, Max realizes Vecna is coming for her next, which prompts her to write letters to her loved ones. Presumably, these are goodbye letters, and its common for such letters to be left behind by victims of suicide.
Shortly after this scene, she goes with Lucas, Steve, and Dustin to the cemetery where Billy is buried. The three friends know something is up, so Lucas tries to stop Max before she goes to her step brothers grave. Just talk to me. To your friends, Lucas pleads with her. Were right here. Im right here.
Maxs expression displays a mixture of contemplation and emotional numbness before she turns from Lucas and towards Billys grave. This is yet another parallel to real-life depression. In many cases, such as with Max, the sufferer may feel that they are bad and unworthy of help, causing them to push away their support systems.
Away from her friends, she begins to read the heartfelt and heart-wrenching letter to her step-brothers headstone. And once she finishes reading the letter, Vecna strikes.
The villain pulls her into the Upside Down while her physical body remains in the cemetery, eyes rolled back in a trance-like state. Luckily, Steve, Dustin, and Lucas rush to her aid, playing Kate Bushs Running Up That Hill through a walkman while they desperately scream for her to come back. But sufferers of depression cant just snap out of it, just as Max couldnt snap out of the trance Vecna put her in.
While this is happening in the cemetery, Vecna has Max trapped in the Upside Down. She has visions of a bloodied Billy, who tells her she wanted him to die, and reminds her of how she sometimes wishes she couldve followed him into death.
That is why I am here, Max, the vision of Billy says. To end your suffering once and for all.
Thats really all sufferers of depression want for their suffering to end. And sometimes, its difficult to see any other way out.
Trapped in the dark, bleak, grotesque world of the Upside Down, it seems there isnt any other way out for Max, either. Vecna is about to kill her her depression is about to kill her.
Here is where the iconic Running Up That Hill scene begins. Steve, Lucas, and Dustin run to her aid, playing the Kate Bush song through a walkman in hopes of bringing Max back. Just as music can be a very useful coping mechanism in real life, music serves as a temporary escape for Max as well. The song cuts through the darkness, and in the distance, Max can see her friends crowded around her body, pleading for her to come back.
In her darkest, most desperate hour, Max can see how much her friends love her. Flashbacks of her happiest memories play in her mind as the music swells and a semblance of hope seems to return to her. This gives her the strength to break away from Vecna and run to her friends, dodging everything the Upside Down throws at her in an attempt to thwart her escape. She returns to her body in the Hawkins cemetery, jolts awake, and falls down to the ground, her friends there to catch her and comfort her.
Once again, this scene allegorizes the experience of depression and suicidal ideation, this time emphasizing how powerful a steadfast support system can be. When Max is at her lowest, her friends stick by her. Shes able to see and realize how much shes wanted and remembers happy moments. And though it is anything but easy, she finally has the strength to run to the people who love her and accept their help.
Though Max appears a little less downtrodden throughout the rest of the season, shes nowhere near in the clear. Just as with any mental illness in the real world, coming back from a major depressive episode and narrowly escaping a suicide attempt is only the beginning of the recovery process.
Max continues to wear the walkman, constantly listening to Running Up That Hill, and while music can be a good distraction and grounding tool, it only works temporarily for people who are suffering mentally. This is evident in the way that Max can avoid Vecna with music, yet cannot completely rid herself of him.
Max sticks close to her friends for the rest of the season, and her friends stick close to her. There are scenes where her friends keep checking in on her and get a little frightened when shes out of their sight for even a minute, afraid Vecna could strike again at any moment. This is similar to how, when a person is experiencing a mental health crisis, their loved ones may remain physically close to them should any self-harm thoughts resurface.
Stranger Things Season 4s underlying theme of mental health struggles is powerful, especially for sufferers of depression and suicidal ideation. When done correctly, it can be cathartic for someone to see their experience reflected to them on screen. Stranger Things lives up to this standard, as it conveyed the experience of depression through Max and Vecna in an artistic yet relatable and accurate way, including the symptoms one might feel and the enormous difficulty that is recovery.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988, or text TALK to 741-741 to reach the Crisis Text Line.

OK, You Need to See Jamie Campbell Bower Sing Lizzo’s About Damn Time in His Stranger Thing Vecna Voice – Seventeen
Posted: at 2:34 pm
A Stranger Things x Lizzo crossover is not something we had on our 2022 bingo cards, but now that its happened, we couldnt be more grateful.
On August 3, Jamie Campbell Bower the actor behind Stranger Things season 4s sinister villain, Vecna made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. During the interview, host Jimmy Fallon asked Jamie to recite several iconic phrases from pop culture in Vecnas menacing voice.
For you, Jimmy, anything, Jamie said, before repeating Julia Robertss famous Im just a girl line from Notting Hill, the Cocoa Puffs slogan, and Roses passionate declaration to Jack in Titanic, I want you to draw me like one of your French girls.
Then, to our absolute delight, Jamie delivered a spine-chilling rendition of Lizzos summertime bop, About Damn Time.
In a minute I'm a need a sentimental man or woman to pump me up. Feeling fussy, walkin' in my Balenci-ussy's, tryna bring out the fabulous, he sang in his demonic tenor. Yes, weve watched it a dozen times over. Yes, we need him to recite the whole song. And yes, we cannot believe how seamlessly he drops his voice to the unhuman level of Vecnas.

Jamie Campbell Bower Talks Stranger Things, New Music and Recites Lizzo Lyrics as Vecna (Extended)
Earlier in the interview, Jamie detailed the process of creating the monsters unforgettable roar.
It took a few months to get right, he shared. We did the read-through, and I was there kind of at the table reading with everyone. I sat behind Millie [Bobby Brown] and I was doing the voice, and it started in this like very kind of like nasally kind of area, kind of more like Freddie Kreuger and it just wasnt landing.
He went on to explain that he researched past horror villains such as Hellraiser and the actor behind Pinhead, Doug Bradley. From there, he landed on the deep, booming voice that seems to come out of the darkness.
I loved it, it was amazing, Jamie added. So I just kind of worked on that, and Im a singer so I kind of just relaxed myself, relaxed my larynx.
In any case, About Damn Time is most definitely a song that could snap us out of Vecnas trance just as long as hes not the one singing it.

‘Gone In The Night’ Ending, Explained: What Happens To Kath And Max? | DMT – DMT
Posted: at 2:34 pm
Gone in the Night is a shaky, imbalanced thriller mystery film that seems somewhat lost in its own tale. Setting out to tell the story of a couple who go through an awkward time on their weekend getaway, the narrative shifts between timelines and ultimately ends itself not so satisfactorily. Surprise twists are left too late to have much effect, and there is hardly much to watch here other than Winona Ryders performance, maybe.
Spoilers Ahead
Kath and Max have been in a relationship for around a year now, and the two set out for a getaway trip to a remote house in the woods that Max has booked for themselves. As Kath drives and discusses the suddenness of the trip with her boyfriend, it seems that Maxs haste in pushing for the vacation was because of his girlfriends love for nature and the outdoors. Finally, when Kath is tired of the long drive and the endless navigation instructions that she has had to follow, the two reach their destination much later in the evening. However, the scene that greets them is very unlike the romantic trip they had imagined for themselves, as the couple spots another car already parked in front of the house. Even before they can process such information, a man, visibly quite younger than them, walks out onto the porch looking at their car. Sure that there is some sort of confusion going on, as he had booked the house online and paid for it in full as well, Max goes over to have a word with the man, and Kath follows in a few moments.
The man argues that he and his girlfriend are occupying the house from before, and is quite dismissive of Max and Kath when they try to tell him of their booking. As a minor argument goes on for some time, a woman, quite clearly the strangers girlfriend, walks out of the cabin and offers the protagonist couple to spend the night inside the property along with them. Despite the plight that they would fall into if they drive away from the cabinthere are no hotels anywhere nearby, and Kath is clearly tired of all the driving and would herself have to drive again as Max does not know how to; Kath does not wish to intrude and wants to drive away. But when Max goes over and has a word with her, particularly about her already having had a lot of adventures, Kath quickly changes her mind and decides to stay at the cabin. The two couples get to know each other, and Al and Greta (the other couple) are not just much younger than our protagonists, but their choices and likes in life are also very different. Gradually, as they spend the night drinking and playing suggestive board games together, Kath feels that the easy-going Greta is trying hard to flirt with Max, and Max, too, is responding to it. Already tired of the journey and also a bit weirded out by this new happening, she retires to her room early and goes to sleep by herself.
When Kath wakes up the next morning, she notices that she is still alone in her bed, and then, stepping out of her room, she sees that she is alone in the whole house. With no cellular network at the place and also remembering about a walking trail that apparently goes over to a nearby beach from the house, she takes the path in search of her boyfriend. Within a few minutes, she runs into Al, who looks very disturbed, sitting with his face in his hands, and the young man claims that Greta and Max have actually romanced each other and have run away together. Shocked at the act of her partner, who is indeed nowhere to be seen, Kath runs back to the house and then drives back home on her own.
By now, Kath is already established as a woman who is rather shaky and under-confident about herself, especially about her growing age. The fact that her boyfriend, Max, is a few years younger than her does not help too much either. The woman had been a teacher to Max in a continuing education class when the two had developed an interest in each other and had then started their relationship. Despite starting off on very good terms, possibly, their differences had started to show as Max was more into getting themselves into seemingly dangerous, or as he calls it, adventurous, situations, while Kath did not really enjoy these. After Maxs disappearance, due to his apparent whirlwind romance with Greta, Kath wanted to let the matter be initially, as she tells her close friend that the situation was perhaps a boon as her relationship with Max was not going well. But within some time, curiosity catches up with her, and she tries searching for Greta on the internet but finds nothing. She then finds out about the owner of the property, the house in the woods where they had gone, and she calls the number up. The call is answered by a man named Nicholas Barlow, who insists that he cannot give out private details of any guests to anyone, and decides to meet Kath about her inquiry instead.
The two meet the next day, and Barlow seems a serious but helpful man who rather enjoys his conversation with Kath. The woman comes clean about what exactly has happened to her and why she wants to track Greta down, and Nicholas does not mind helping her. During their conversation, Kath also learns, through a stranger who walks into the caf they are in, that Nicholas Barlow had actually been a pioneer in a biotech startup in partnership with this stranger. This startup was being bought over by GlaxoSmithKline for a lot of money, but Barlow ultimately made his way out of it and lived a reclusive life from then on. As Kath and Barlow keep meeting over time, and eventually share a lot about themselves, the man says that his father had passed away from a genetic disease of the nerves called synaptic hypertropia just before the deal was signed, and this made him wonder about his own life. Having decided that he did not want a usual life just chasing financial checkpoints, Barlow had given up his professional career, had bought the cabin in the woods and moved in there to spend life by himself.
Going over to the address mentioned by Greta in her booking details, Kath finds the young woman entering an underground music performance and follows her there. Facing Kath, Greta awkwardly apologizes to her for being a home-breaker, so to speak, but her words do not seem too genuine. She kind of suggests that Max has started a relationship with her and does not really care about Kath anymore, and it appears like she has a sense of rubbing it in Kaths face. The young woman then drops her phone, and Kath takes a glance at the wallpaper, which is Gretas face beside the sleeping face of Max. Heartbroken and feeling rather disrespected, Kath drives over with Barlow, and the man now shares his lifes wisdom with her, talking about how he fears his fathers nervous system disease is bound to pass on to his body soon, as it is genetic. Kath asks whether he is doing fine so far, and the man reveals that he has, in fact, been researching the illness for thirty years, trying to come up with a transfusion therapy treatment against it. Once back at her home, Kath goes through the process of getting over her lover, who had clearly ditched her, and it does not seem to take her too much effort either, as she burns off Maxs hat, signifying that she wants to get over it. She then drives over to Barlows house in the woods one afternoon, hoping to meet him and spend some time together, possibly even wanting to turn their friendly relationship into a romantic one.
Along with all these things happening, Gone in the Night also spreads scenes of flashbacks over the course of its narrative, which reveal past incidents in Maxs life before their getaway trip, and the film builds up its tension and mystery in this manner. Only a day before they had driven to the woods, Max and Kath were hosting a few of Kaths friends for dinner, and Max was quite visibly detached from the serious conversations that they were having. He did try his best but felt rather ridiculed when his girlfriend made fun of his habit of wearing limited-edition, hard-to-find clothes. Leaving the party, pretending to buy some more wine, Max went over to a grocery store where he ran across a young couple having some sort of disagreement. This couple was the same that was earlier shown, that of Al and his girlfriend, Greta. Exchanging rather judgmental comments at first, Max agreed to go have a drink with the couple, perhaps, because of Gretas flirtatious questions towards him, which continued throughout the evening that the three spent together. The couple had then told Max about a music show that was about to take place two days later, and asked him to drive down to the cabin in the woods the next day, where they would spend the night and go over to the show the following morning.
Max returned home with this idea, and instead of going alone, he decided to take Kath along. When the couple arrived at the house the next evening, Al and Greta were initially shocked, and even a bit scared, especially Al, as it seemed that they had some ill intentions in mind, but Greta insisted her boyfriend play along with the whole scene. Max spoke to Al in private, telling him that he had decided to surprise his girlfriend by bringing her here, and Greta then let them stay. However, with the information now having been established that the house was actually not a place rented out, but rather Al and Greta had invited Max there, it raises a number of questions about Nicholas Barlows involvement in all this and what his real intentions are. At present, when Kath appears at Barlows door, he politely asks her in and then excuses himself, saying that he needs to gather firewood and walks into the forest area.
As Kath spends time by herself inside Barlows house, she goes around casually looking at things, and now stumbles upon a photograph of Barlow and Al, which clearly suggests that the two are father and son. The entire atmosphere changes into one of tension as Kath spots a locked door and opens it up with Barlows set of keys, which he had left on the counter. She then walks out into the woods and sees a large cargo container, and once again uses Barlows keys to get in. Here, she receives the shock of her life as she sees Max lying on a makeshift operation table, alive but with multiple medical incisions made on his body through which his blood is being pulled out into blood bags. She tries to wake him up, but Max only replies with gibberish, in a drugged trance. On the other hand, Al and Greta had been inside Barlows house when Kath had knocked, which made the young couple run out and hide in the woods. When Barlow excuses himself to go gather firewood, he actually meets them, and when they return to the house, they find that Kath has opened up the locked room leading to the section of the woods where they had abducted and kept Max. They, too, now go to the cargo container, and things fall into place through their confrontation.
Al had been convinced that his father, Nicholas Barlow, had the same synaptic hypertrophy that had killed his grandfather, and was desperate to help his father recover from the illness. He knew of his fathers research into a blood transfusion treatment and also knew that they needed fresh blood, meaning a donor, to carry out the transfusion. He and his girlfriend, Greta, had planned the entire scheme to lure Max into their house, and Kaths presence only slightly affected this plan. They had managed to get Max out of the house, and had then abducted him and handed him over to Barlow. The father keeps insisting that he did not have any idea about his son and his girlfriends twisted plans before they had actually carried them out, but Greta now makes a grave revelation about the man. She produces a medical document that shows that Barlow did not actually have the neurotic disease and was essentially doing the whole transfusion therapy to renew his blood cells with that of a younger man, trying to lengthen his already natural life. Greta also admits that she had actually played along with the whole plan because she herself wanted to lengthen her own life in the same manner, and her character turns out to be a rather evil one who insists that they should now kill Kath. Al, who genuinely believed that his father was dying, confronts the man, saying that he should have told him the truth, and Al ultimately sides with his father rather than his girlfriend. Kath had earlier tried to stop the blood transfusion process and pull out the IV channels on Maxs body, but Barlow claimed that doing so would not help him as the blood of their two bodies (Max and Barlows) now shared a single blood supply source, and Max would have to stay in this process forever. Kath now suddenly claims that she wants to receive this transfusion herself, saying that she too had unfairly used Maxs young age in a slightly different manner as she tried to feel young herself through Max, and essentially bought some unattended time for herself. During this short time, she decides to take the chance of rescuing Max and pulls out all the IV channels from his body, and walks him towards the exit. Greta tries to get in the way, but she is stopped by Al, on the instructions of Barlow, who does not want to do any harm to Kath. However, in an even more surprising twist, Max, in his delusional trance, rips out a tube attached to his throat, spitting out blood everywhere, and the man dies quickly from extreme blood loss. Kath leaves the container alone and locks it up from the outside with Barlow, Al, and Greta still in it. She then rushes to her car, looks at her aging skin once again in the rearview mirror, and comes out again to enter the empty cabin. Kath goes over to a window and looks out towards the woods, and Gone in the Night rolls its end credits here.
The director has evidently kept a mystery, or at least an air of uncertainty, with the ending, as Kath first decides to leave and then suddenly decides against it. Whether her decision to enter the empty cabin again was to take a breather from all the sudden emotional and physical shocks that she faced over the last few minutes, or whether her intentions were something else, is left to ones imagination. However, with the sort of characterization that Kath has been given throughout the film, her issues about her growing age and its physical manifestations are real. Now that her boyfriend is also dead, she probably has very little to lose and might actually force Barlow to transfuse blood for her, which would then stop her aging process. Gone in the Night keeps away its crux for far too long and then presents all of it so rapidly that it hardly has any effect. The twists, in the end, do not convince at all, and ultimately make the film a disappointing watch.
Gone in the Night is a 2022 Drama Thriller film directed by Eli Horowitz.

Funny, Creepy & Everything In Between, 5 Flight Attendants’ Stories You Need To Hear – Scoop Empire
Posted: at 2:34 pm
We all go through strange situations at work every once in a while, but while most of us can try and escape the awkward situation by leaving the room, flight attendants, on the other hand, have it the worst. Thats because theyre basically trapped with the rest of the passengers in a tube flying thousands of miles in the air.
So we reached out to some of them to tell us their stories, and they didnt disappoint. We got everything from the bizarre to the funny and wholesome.
Amira explains that she was on an Indian flight, standing with the rest of the cabin crew near one of the planes doors. Moments later, a woman made her way there, stood opposite the door, and got into a squat position in front of it.
She sat like that for a while, so Amira walked toward her and asked if she could offer the woman any form of assistance; the woman just looked back at her and asked for water.
Amira quickly brought the woman a cup of water, but the woman didnt move, stayed in that squatting position, and made weird facial expressions, which made the situation awkward.
Amira asked her if everything was ok. When the woman didnt respond, she politely asked her to return to her seat; thats when the woman stood up, took the cup of water, and left. After the ordeal was finally over, to Amiras horror, she found that the woman had pooped on the floor.
Flights can be deafeningly noisy; the plane is soaring in the air, theres sometimes turbulence, and its normal to see flight attendants using hand gestures to relay messages across to indicate yes or no. Unfortunately for Mona, things didnt go well on one of her flights to Barcelona, Spain.
While on a noisy flight, one of the passengers asked for something to drink, and since Mona was a bit far from him, she gave him the thumbs up to indicate that she understood what he wanted and went to fetch it.
However, as soon as she turned around, the man jumped out of his seat and started yelling that she was rude and that he couldnt believe how someone from the crew could be so unprofessional. Mona was taken aback by the remarks since she didnt know what she had done wrong. This led the passenger sitting next to the yelling man to be confused and try to calm him down.
After some deliberation and talking to understand why the man was so angry, they found the source that led to this misunderstanding. It turns out that the thumbs-up hand gesture from where the man comes from is an insult rather than meaning ok, which made him feel offended when Mona did it.
The crew swiftly diffused the situation, and things got back to normal. Let this be a lesson to you if you meet someone from Iraq, Iran, Greece, and parts of Italy, never make the thumbs-up gesture as its an insult there.
If youre ever on a plane, youll find a button above you to call on one of the flight attendants if you need anything, like a drink or a pillow. When you press that button, they get a notification and come straight away to assist you, turning it off to indicate that they resolved the situation. One man on Nohas flight liked that button, a little too much perhaps.
On a flight to Bangladesh having a complete female cabin crew except for a male supervisor, a first-time passenger pressed the button, not knowing what it did, so when Noha appeared to help the man, he was very confused.
Noha asked him if he needed anything, but he continued to stare at her with astonishment. She asked him if he was ok or if he needed any medical assistance, but the man kept looking at her. Repeating her question, he finally snapped out of his trance, thanked her, and rejected needing anything; so she turned off the button and left.
A few moments later, the man pressed the button again, prompting another female flight attendant to go, and the same situation happened to her. She asked if the man needed anything to drink, but he just stared, rejected assistance, and the flight attendant left, turning off the button as she did so.
Noha stated that this situation kept happening several times, with the man doing the same thing over and over again until he pretty much saw all the crew on the flight. So the crew decided to confront him to understand what was going on. However, the supervisor stepped in and went to talk to the man himself to figure out what the problem was and defuse the situation.
He walked up to the passenger and asked if he needed any assistance or something to drink; the passenger finally responded, whenever I press this button, a beautiful lady appears, and I want to see all the nationalities you have.
While some people might see this situation as endearing, others find it a bit uncomfortable, so if youre a first-time flier, please respect their time, as they have a whole lot of other passengers to work with.
Theres a certain GCC airline thats known for the impressive features on their planes, such as a lounge and showers area; however, that bit of information led to an awkward situation on Salmas flight.
On a flight to Budapest, Hungary, things started fine, the plane took off smoothly without any issues, and as soon as the captain turned off the seatbelts sign, a man stood up, got a large towel from his bag, and made his way to the crews area. He asked Salma where the bathrooms were, which she indicated were at the end of the aisle. She kept an eye on the economy class passenger as he made his way to the bathroom, got in, and then instantly got back out again, confused.
The passenger came back to Salma, asking about the showers, leading her to explain that the showers area was in first and business class and that there wasnt one in economy class. This information shocked the passenger, who stood there confused, both he and Salma silently looking at each other.
Unfortunately, he felt defeated and went back to the bathroom and got inside, leaving Salma confused since there were very small sinks in there and he couldnt wash up there.
If you thought your proposal was cute, check this one out.
Khaled shared how one of his fellow flight attendants got proposed to by her significant other on a flight he was on.
The boyfriend collaborated with the rest of the cabin crew and got on the plane without her knowing. He gave the crew a large bouquet to hide and distributed printed-out masks of his face to the rest of the passengers with instructions on what to do next.
After the flight took off, everyone wore the masks he passed out, creating a sea of people with the same face stunning the flight attendant; he then showed up, revealing that it was actually him.
While the flight attendant was still surprised by his presence, he got down on one knee and proposed to her on the flight. After saying yes, the crew appeared with the hidden bouquet, which he handed her all while everybody on the flight cheered and applauded.

More NJ drivers need to adopt this golden rule (Opinion) – New Jersey 101.5 FM
Posted: at 2:32 pm
With approximately 39,000 miles of public roadways in the state, New Jersey is home to both the best and the worst drivers in the country. (And yes, we can probably lump most of those NY/PA license plates on our roads into the latter category.)
Unfortunately, so many Jersey commuters view their daily drive as a competitive sport. Prioritizing speed over safety.
Unfortunately, so many Jersey commuters view their daily drive as a competitive sport.
In reality, driving is 100% a collaborative activity. When you're on the road alongside hundreds or thousands of people, your goal is exactly the same as everyone else's: Arrive to your destination safely and efficiently. Oh, if only we could replace all the hostility and road rage with synergy and courtesy.
I know, it's a pipe dream. But allow me to channel Drivers Ed class for a moment, and present what should be viewed as the golden rule of the road.
Be predictable.
Predictability is the very heart and reason for our system of traffic laws. If other drivers can anticipate what you're going to do and more importantly, what stupid tricks you're not going to try everyone stays safer. And happier.
And yes, that includes using turn signals.
Left turn signal on car dash
But it goes way beyond blinkers. Let me give you a few examples of how being predictable makes New Jersey's highways and byways safer for everyone.
Be predictable.
UNPREDICTABLE: Weave in and out of highway traffic lanes, just to arrive at your destination a few seconds earlier. With no turn signal, of course.
PREDICTABLE: Change lanes with purpose, either to pass on the left, to move right again after overtaking a vehicle, to let someone merge, to avoid a hazard, etc. And use your darn turn signal.
UNPREDICTABLE: Drive as fast as you can. Or excessively slow for that matter.
PREDICTABLE: Keep up with the flow of traffic, using the posted speed limit as a guideline.
UNPREDICTABLE: Use the shoulder or exit lane to pass a line of slower or passing traffic. It is courting disaster if someone doesn't see your erratic maneuver and merges into your speeding car.
PREDICTABLE: Stay on the road. Don't be a jerk. And except for extreme circumstances, pass on the left.
UNPREDICTABLE: Make a rolling stop through a red light or stop sign, cutting off moving vehicles who have the clear right-of-way.
PREDICTABLE: Turn right on red only when legal and safe to do so. Full and complete stop, people.
UNPREDICTABLE: Slam merge, cutting across lanes of traffic and/or cutting off an entire line of traffic just before an exit.
PREDICTABLE: Plan ahead. Modern GPS systems even show you which lane to be in for a given exit. And stay alert.
UNPREDICTABLE: Be overly courteous, waving a driver to turn on/off a road while holding up traffic and/or impeding someone else's right-of-way.
PREDICTABLE: Drive defensively, and be friendly and considerate. But not if it involves breaking traffic laws or negatively affects other drivers.
Road Rage Driver
Can we all make a pledge to give this idea a try?
No?
Well, it was worth a shot.

Can You Pass This Simple New Jersey Driver's Test?
April is Distracted Driver Awareness Month in New Jersey, part of the National Highway Transportation Safety Board's 'UDrive. UText. UPay.' campaign. But being 'distracted' is so much more than just texting while driving.
Unless there's a sign telling you otherwise, turning right on red in NJ is perfectly legal. But why are some hesitant to do so? Let's take a look at a few plausible reasons.

The Republican Court went all in on Trumpism and then . . . – Daily Kos
Posted: at 2:32 pm
The six right-wingers on the court smile for the camera. Like Trump who appointed 1/2 of them, they are drunk with power.
Im trying to remember which Democrat, some years ago, made a point of always saying that its when theyre most drunk with power that they will dramatically overestimate their invulnerabilityand shoot themselves squarely in the foot.
Texas Hold-Em Politics
This version of the Republicans went all in, Texas holdem style, on Trumpism and totalitarianism fascism if youprefer to call it. And started to believe they can say or do anything without consequences. Truth be told, the relative passivityof the some of the Democratic leadership didnt help. So, the Republicans under Trump stepped in and appointed 3 more religious fanatics who became willing pawns in their plans. Lunatics they could control to be elevated to the nations highest court, never thinking it would eventually catch up to them.
I must confess, I was worried they would never stopgetting away with all sortsof incredible nonsense. SoIm not suggesting that we let our guard down after the Kansas referendum victories as the Republicans finally went a bridge too far.Rather, now we should go for the political jugular. And continue to drop our own political bombs on them. Politics is incredibly fickle, so between now and the mid-terms nothing should be taken for granted.
The vote to keep abortion rights, in Kansas of all places, home of Dorothy and Toto, was a real seismicshocker for them. Lastmonths pollsmade them look like narrow winners.The Republicans had every advantage possible in a solidly Republican state. And did this to themselves in their supreme arrogance!! Brought on by Trumpism itself. They were happy to control the anti-choice vote for years without actually seeing a ban on abortion come to passand still suck up valuable votes. And they assumed that personal opposition to abortion always translated in voting support for them. But their increasingly extremist positions blinded them to the actual consequences of their platform. Same with their promoting race war in the hope of winning more votes than they lose.
The national corporate media seems like it finally realized that the Republicans under Trumpism were actually going to ruin the country and the economy. And that of course would be very bad for corporate America, and much worse than the Democrats presently in power could ever be. At least thats my read-on changes in the corporate media coverage lately.
The Republicans havent just goneall-in, they are halfway to the center of the Earth. As Trumpself-destructs right before our very eyes,De Santis, the latest Republican fuehrer,apparently thinks that an exact clone of Trump will easily take his place in 2024. Hes smarter than Trump and would be a lot more dangerous as president.Trump himself appears to being dropped by the Republicans as far as 2024 candidate is concerned and is likely to turnon themlike a woundedanimal if and when they do.
Trumpisms Golden Rule
The golden rule of Trump-styled Republicanism is toalways double down, no matter how badly you get busted for your misdeeds,and NEVER admit a mistake or concedethat you were wrong. The second, third and fourth rulesare to lie, lie, and swear youre not lying.
The golden rule for Democrats should beto offer votersprogressive, energetic and fighting leadership and make sure that leadership is committed to reigning in out-of-control corporate influence in policy and politics. While disguised to many voters, politics can oftenbecome a form of class war. Meaning every issue is viewed differently depending on the class interests and loyalties of the representatives. Politics can also involve fiercepower struggles, even when the parties involved have similar class interests. Corporate influence also carries weight in both parties and their lobbyists have helped killmuch worthwhilelegislation over the years. There may be a record number of issues on the plate in this years mid-terms.
Regarding the poll below, all choices may to some degree be important for most sane and progressive voters.I left out reproductive rights only because it transcends the two-party system more than any other, especially after the Kansas referendum vote, and would easily win any poll like this.
So Im looking for what youthink is the next best voting issue for us, vote wise. Remember that the most important motivators may not be the most important issues to your way of thinking, just the ones you think will turn out the most Democratic Party voters.
1 - Voting rights and protections
4- Preservation of law and democratic government.
5 - Prescription drug prices and health care costs.
6 - The threat of Republican extremism.

The result of ideas to get the creative juices flowing – Davison Index – Davisonindex
Posted: at 2:32 pm
When I realized it was my turn to write the column, I panicked a little. I couldnt think of anything introspective or enlightening or particularly interesting to say.
So, I googled things to write about, hoping to find a prompt that would set the mental cogwheels in motion. I found myself sifting through a lot of really stupid ideas, but I was able to ferret out a few gems. Heres a sample of what I found and my reactions:
Whats the most irritating sound in the world?
Thats easy: people chewing loudly. For crying out loud, put the chip in your mouth, close your mouth and chew. Ive had to walk out of more than one Mexican restaurant because of the cacophony of crunching chips. Same goes for slurping coffee, soup and noodles. Its basic table manners.
Ive recently learned that Im not the only one who cant stand the sound of people eating and its actually a disorder called misophonia or selective sound sensitivity syndrome. Ive also learned that giving strangers the look for chewing loudly is often met with steely defiance and attempts to chew even more loudly.
What is something most people dont know about you?
For one, my eyes are super sensitive to light. Thats why Im always wearing my sunglasses, in case you were wondering. Its a condition I inherited from my dad, and both of my sons inherited from me. Apparently, this is also a disorder. Its called photophobia.
Another little-known fact about me: feet creep me out. Go ahead, laugh. Its odd. Even more odd is that this is why I never liked Mr. Rogers Neighborhood when I was a kid (ironically, a kid who ran around barefoot most of the time). Every episode opened with Mr. Rogers changing his shoes. I was always terrified that one day he was going to take off his socks and Id see his feet.
At this point in my hunt for a good writing prompt, I started to become hyper aware that I am really flawed, and I started to dislike the people who make lists of writing prompts.
Then I found this:
Write a letter to your 5-year-old self.
Ok, then.
Dear 5-year-old Nia: Remember that time in Sunday school when you learned about the Golden Rule? That was only half of the story. Never stop being kind and helpful but be aware that not everyone lives by that same rule. There are a lot of people who see niceness as weakness. Its OK to stick up for yourself. Its OK to be rude if the situation warrants it.
Its also OK to be really flawed. Everyone has flaws, and the ones with the most flaws are usually the ones who will point out yours.
Never give up on your dreams.
Dont just march to the beat of your own drummer, turn up the volume and dance to it.
One day in the future, youre going to google things to write about. Dont sweat it.

All I really need to know I learned from Mrs. Kresl – Amery Free Press
Posted: at 2:32 pm
I have mentioned in columns before the people who have made the biggest impact on my life outside of my family, was by far my educators at the School District of Amery. I suppose that makes them like a second family. It makes me sad that recently I lost a member of that second family, my Kindergarten teacher-Lois Kresl.
A popular read entitled All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten is a book of short essays by American minister and author Robert Fulghum. It was first published in 1986.
The title of the book is taken from the first essay in the volume, in which Fulghum lists lessons normally learned in American kindergarten classrooms and explains how the world would be improved if adults adhered to the same basic rules as children, i.e. sharing, being kind to one another, cleaning up after themselves.
The essay based on Kindergarten takes me back to my early days in Mrs. Kresls class. Robert Fulghum was absolutely correct on his points about Kindergarten. While the points are important, what was even bigger to me was the person who instilled these values into her students.
Back in my day, there was no such thing as Pre-K. In fact, we only went to Kindergarten for a half day. Harvey Monson would drive me there in the mornings on Bus 14 and Martha Heiden would drive me home on Bus 6 at Noon.
I had never been to preschool. I was an only child who spent a majority of her time with adults, so school was a whole new world to me. Kindergarten was the roots of my learning experience and I believe it set me up for my love of school. Mrs. Kresl was the reason for all of this. She will always hold a special place in my heart.
In honor of the teacher who taught me the most important basics of life, here is an excerpt from All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday School. These are the things I learned:
Put things back where you found them.
Dont take things that arent yours.
Say youre sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced lifelearn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
Wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cupthey all die. So do we.
And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learnedthe biggest word of allLOOK.
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.
Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or your government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if we allthe whole worldhad cookies and milk about three oclock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.
And it is still true, no matter how old you arewhen you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.
Thank you, Mrs. Kresl and all of the other educators and school staff who make a daily difference on childrens lives.
I enjoy sharing my thoughts with you and look forward to readers sharing their thoughts in return.
