Single Mom Shared Badges From All Her Jobs, and the Evolution is Inspiring

Faye Lewis is a nurse today, but while she was pursuing her Doctorate degree to become a nurse practitioner, she took a trip down memory lane by looking at all old work badges from jobs she’d worked in the past.

She decided to share photos of her old work badges on Facebook to give herself a little extra push of inspiration and her posts quickly went viral. Lewis said, “I just needed to remind myself how far I’ve come. I never in a million years would think it would also motivate other people to go for what they want.”

She got her first job at Kentucky Fried Chicken at the age of 16. She went away to college and continued to work at KFC but received two B’s in classes and was rejected from nursing school. In 2010, she also gave birth to her son AJ.

Lewis was eventually promoted to manager, but she never gave up her dream of becoming a nurse.

She also took a job as a housekeeper.

Lewis continued to work toward her dream, completed her certified nursing assistant training and began working at a medical center.

She then decided to pursue her Associate’s degree in Nursing. While in nursing school, tragedy struck her family. Her father and three cousins were killed in a house fire. Lewis said, “When I heard the news, I dropped to my knees. My mom made it out alive just by a miracle of God. I had a supportive family and I knew my Dad wouldn’t want me to quit.” So Lewis continued pushing forward.

Lewis worked as an LPN during the day, at KFC at night, was raising her son, and was continuing her education all at the same time. She earned her Associate’s degree in 2014 and her Bachelor’s degree in 2016.

Today, Lewis is working toward her Doctorate. Lewis has advice about the adversity she faced: “Keep trying. Never give up and stay positive through all of it.”

Great work Faye! And let this be a lesson to all of us: never give up and keep moving forward, even when things seem like they’ll never get better.

People Keep NOT Recognizing Tony Hawk, and It’s Absolutely Hilarious

Tony Hawk is a man of many talents. He’s easily one of the greatest skateboarders of all time, a video game tycoon (I literally grew up playing THPS, so good!), author, and businessman.

He’s a pretty famous guy whose name and image are pretty widely recognized… except when they’re not. For reference, here’s what he looks like:

But Hawk keeps running into people who have no idea that they’re dealing with the man himself. The skateboarding legend has taken to Twitter to share some of the funny stories of people not recognizing him in public.

She Complained Her Cards Against Humanity Pack Didn’t Include Glitter – So CAH Unleased All Glittery Hell

Cards Against Humanity is card-based party game for adults that’s become famous for its racy, obscene jokes? The company behind the cards is also famous for its generally irreverent sense of humor, and they recently gave a customer a major lesson in being careful what you wish for.

Last year the company released a “Pride Pack”, which let buyers add glitter to their purchase. Who doesn’t love glitter!? It became so widely popular, the company ran out of glitter before all orders where filled.

Buyer Kait Johnson wasn’t having it when she she discovered she was missing the sparkle. What would any glitter enthusiast do at this point? Contact the company, of course.

Their response is perfect:

Later, a small envelope arrives.

But Cards Against Humanity didn’t stop there. Another LARGER envelope arrived!

Kait decided this still wasn’t enough to sate her glitter obsession.

Careful what you wish for…

Soon after a large box arrived.

With 5 POUNDS of GLITTER!

This was too much for the sparkle queen.

And Cards Against Humanity got the last word.

Be careful what you wish for!

This Tumblr Account Collects the Final Text People Got from Loved Ones

This Tumblr account collects the final text messages people ever received from a loved one – both from people who have passed away or from those no longer in their lives for other reasons.

The messages are oddly touching, occasionally spooky, but always a brief, poignant glimpse into humanity just before some of our most trying moments.

#1.

“I don’t have a message, but this is the last picture I took with Mrs Brown whom was practically my grandmother. She became a patient and soon after a resident at my facility when I was working as an aid. We became close to the point where she would call me at home and I’d see her on my days off. I may have crossed that line a tad considering she was a patient there, but I didn’t care. She was my favorite person and we shared a lot and she gave me the best advice and listened, which is what I needed.
Our administration told me our friendship was in appropriate and thought it was best I didn’t contact Mrs Brown. My DON went as far to lie to me and tell me that her family didn’t want me around her. At all.
Long story short, she declined when they stopped our contact and she died on September 28th. I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. They fired me that day.
It was a complete innocent friendship with no mal intent or sick motive or anything of the sort.
I know the DON was lying about the family because the family had single handedly requested for my participation at her memorial.
I miss her so much. She was so understanding and so honest and so happy. She was 92.

I pray you’re looking down on me Helen. I loved you like a mother. I wish this never happened.”

“My dad died 6 weeks later flying the plane in this picture.”

#3.

“My good friend’s dad died around Thanksgiving. Two weeks later he drank himself to death.”

 #4.

“This is the last text I got from my mom before she died of Stage IV brain cancer at the age of 53. It left her completely paralyzed on the left side of her body, hence the typos in the texts. What she was saying was, “you’re missing music therapy” and “Almost as good as Good Friday church giggles.”

A few years prior to this, we went to the Good Friday service at our church. The choir was absolutely horrendous and couldn’t sing whatsoever. She and I sat there, in the most serious, somber church service of all, laughing hysterically, unable to stop for the life of us. She sent me this text while she was in hospice and I was in school.”

#5.

 “She had sent me a message earlier asking me not to contact her anymore. I woke up to one last message. We’d dated for 3-5 years and when I came out as trans, the relationship fell apart. I still think about and miss her every day.”

#6.

“I sent this to my grandpa on Thanksgiving. Two days later he unexpectedly had a heart attack and passed. He was my favorite person in the world and nothing has been the same since. I refuse to delete this message.”

#7.

“The last text he sent me. The next day I got a call from his daughter that he was still very much with his wife and I wasn’t the only one he was cheating on her with.”

10+ Secrets About Men That Women Probably Don’t Know

I’m always amazed when my female friends complain to me about how difficult men are to understand. Maybe it’s just because I just live it every day, but I’ve never had a hard time understanding another guy. It wasn’t until I got married that I finally gained perspective on just how different a day in the life of a man is compared to a woman.

It turns out there’s a whole lot about being a guy that women have no idea about – but not anymore, courtesy of these gentlemen of Reddit:

1. Men like our hair however we wear it. There is no need to ask a million times.

11. Patience is key.

12. We all show our emotions differently.

There you have it, ladies. Keep it simple, communicate directly, and be concerned for their junk. Easy peasy!

After the band Chumbawamba…

After the band Chumbawamba was paid $100,000 by General Motors for the use of their song “Pass it Along” in an ad, they then donated 100% of the proceeds to activist groups for the purpose of beginning information and environmental campaigns against GM.
