Honestly, I'm not a fan on these re-creating of photos. Why? Leave the original beauty as is. Just seems forced otherwise, at least to me.
All the shit going down these days, been searching out truly positive stories/observances, trying to contribute my own as well. No fanfare or views or going viral needed either. Doing alright with this.
People have been kind way before the internet's exposure. May it continue to be that way.
Fine. Can you not appreciate that a family after all the years remains together and wanted to capture that. It is rare that a fully intact family goes for photos.

I said I don't get it. I'm nostalgic as they come, but to re-do, not my thing. Happy with the original photos I've got ("intact family" included) - and if others aren't? Have at it!
Appeals Court Hands Obama Administration Major Win In Net Neutrality Case Under the law, broadband internet providers “must treat all internet traffic the same regardless of source.” 06/14/2016 10:55 am ET | Updated 2 hours ago
WASHINGTON — In a long-awaited decision, a federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld the Obama administration’s net neutrality rules, dealing a punishing blow to telecom and cable companies that have sought to overturn the regulations.
Characterizing the government’s net neutrality effort as an “attempt to achieve internet openness” and “the principle that broadband providers must treat all internet traffic the same regardless of source,” the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit concluded that the rules are authorized under current law.
I was a waiter once and if that man sat in my section I would've taken care of him the in very same way. Even give up tables to complete that man's meal. I believe when one is willing to give of themselves to others, it comes back or returns to one in the uniquest of ways sometimes never knowing it has.

I think the best part of that story was he just sat and talked with him like he was a friend.
Just saw a news piece about these kids from Paraguay who turn garbage into musical instruments. There's a film about them coming out called Landfill Harmonic. Very inspiring to see children playing Ode to Joy.
Just inspiring, period.
(none of the links I found worked, but looks worth catching it if you can)
Well, yeah. I thought that amid such shitstorms happening, this was pretty nice and uplifting to see.
(though feel free to look away)
Hey we need much more of that in these harsh times. I do wonder what precipitated that awesome gesture?

I saw that on the morning news yesterday... Okay, it's very good that the kid caught the baby (who may or may not have been hurt from a fall like that)... That the mother is calling it a "miracle" (as though she means it literally) is a bit irksome for me. I mean, a kid caught a baby who fell. It's not a miracle for crying out loud. I also wouldn't call the kid a hero (though would to his face, because positive reinforcement is good sometimes). It's simply lucky that he happened to be there and saw it happening, and any person who was in the position to keep a baby from hitting the ground would do so - it's really a matter of instinct. Also, this kind of thing happens all the time. It's just that most mothers don't make it a matter of public record. But anyway, not trying to poop on your parade or anything, even though I guess I did, sorry. I just found the story a little annoying - so much hoopla and really a big overreaction to a very normal occurrence. (btw, there are many, many changing tables with "seatbelts" on them so that this can't happen. Maybe the best part about this story is that those belts will become mandatory)

It's a miracle that baby didn't break it's neck had the sibling not been there. That's how fast things happen w/ kids of all ages. It's nice to see videos like that showing how humans should look out for each others safety.

It's not a miracle at all, just dumb luck, especially since most babies aren't seriously injured when they have falls like that anyhow (though it is possible, of course). I am happy the baby wasn't hurt... I fully expect any person to catch a falling baby, and sure I'll give them credit for a good catch, but I'm not about to call it a miracle. If that's a miracle, then fucking just about everything is. I just don't like the misuse of the concept of miracle I guess. The only really impressive thing is that the kid happened to be there at the right time and was quick enough to make the catch. So kudos to the kid for his quick motor skills for sure. Some people are more clunky than that. Yeah, sure, it's nice to see people not get hurt on video, and I suppose it's nice to see family members not just stand there and watch a baby smash on the floor when they could have prevented it, but it's not exactly awe inspiring. I know I'm coming off a curmudgeon. I'm not, really. It's just all the fanfare is silly, lol. However, it did bring awareness to changing table safety. As I said, maybe it will make safety straps on the things mandatory. I'm actually surprised that they're not already.

I'm not on Facebook but saw a link to this earlier. Found it quite touching, quite sad, and quite sweet.
Therapy dogs (and ducks too, apparently!) are such a gift. As is for the mother who posted, and for her son.
