I’m sure you’ve watched a viral video that is presented as a real situation and thought, “This is a set up”. This happened to me with today’s video of a chance encounter in a Walmart in Alpharetta, Georgia. In the video, Cassandra Turner Nelson is standing with her trolley at the canned vegetable section when a stranger, Donnell Cross, approaches and asks her if she knows the song If This World Were Mine. Nelson says she does, and Cross starts singing. 50 seconds into the video, Nelson joins in.

If This World Were Mine – LIVE ON THE FLY – YouTube

Both have great voices and know the song. A crowd gathers, spectators record the spectacle. My first question was, how can someone expect a stranger in a supermarket to know this Ashford and Simpson song (first performed by the late, great singing partners Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell) well enough to sing it? My second question was, how can you expect a stranger to sing so well? Then there is Cross saying “Again?” at the beginning. Never fear. Take my word for it. The video is real. Let’s look:

 

 

Fantastic, but real? C’mon!. Surely not? This is how it went down. Cassandra Nelson was shopping with headphones on. She says she was quietly humming along to If This World Were Mine. Donnell Cross and his friend Craig were grabbing some lunch. Cross was a little tipsy. Cross and Craig heard Nelson singing. She had a good voice. On an impulse, Cross asked Craig to video him. He approached Nelson, who removed her headphones. Meanwhile, Craig was battling with the camera app.

Craig asked Cross to repeat the question. Cross said “Again?” just as Craig remembered to turn his phone horizontal. As we see Cross is a great singer who knows the song. Meanwhile 50-year-old Nelson is the daughter of gospel music singer and preacher, Norris Turner. She had been a backing singer for a few gospel acts and once sang at a convention in Sweden. Here’s Nelson and Cross being interviewed on GMA3, after the video went viral. Note that they get invited to appear with rapper Common.

Shopping in the US is the cheapest, fashionistas and fashionistas come from all over the world to pick up trendy items, but there are also second-hand stores here. In the USA, there are separate stores where clothes are bought not only by people with low income, but also by very poor people.

Goodwill is a chain of thrift stores in the US that has absolutely everything from cookware to art to home appliances. The network considers itself a charitable organization. The products are very cheap, even poor and needy people can buy them. All the products of the store are received free of charge from ordinary people as a donation for the poor.

A Goodwill employee, while checking to see if the clothes were in order, stumbled upon something strange. At first he thought it was junk, but then it turned out that the $100 bills were worth $42,000. The woman assumed that the money was fake, but it was not. Another surprise was that there was not only money, but also documents that helped to find the owner.

According to the employees of the “Goodwill” network, they regularly find money in donated clothes, but, as a rule, they have no way of finding out who it belongs to. The chain of stores also noted that the current find is the largest in the history of the company.

The woman who found the money said in an interview to one of the local TV channels that she believes in karma and knows “what it can be like to steal money.” Therefore, he returned everything to the owners and, by the way, received a thousand dollar reward from them. With this money, the woman plans to organize a party for her daughter’s birthday.

Goodwill stores often have interesting events. For example, in 2018, a store in New Jersey was given a copy of the December 28, 1774 edition of Pennsylvania Magazine and a weekly newspaper valued at $18,000. And one day a customer bought a camera with a video of the boy taking his first steps and was able to return it to his family using social networks.

If it weren’t already abundantly clear, Keanu Reeves is a pretty decent person.

It’s unlikely that you haven’t heard the stories and seen the footage, unless you’ve been hiding out.

 

You’ll see that Keanu Reeves is a down to earth person who has never put himself above kindness and compassion, despite his megastar position, money, and unfathomable fame.

Every few months, Reeves seems to do something new to remind us that he is the gold standard for A-list celebrities who put others before themselves and behave in a way that conveys their sincere concern for society.

Reeves, who is well known for his work on blockbuster movies, recently showed his aptitude as a writer of comic books. He and Matt Kindt jointly conceived and co-wrote BRZRKR, the most well-read single issue since Star Wars in 2015.

The ubiquitousness of cell phones has made them a staple of modern life.

It’s excellent because you can snap shots whenever inspiration strikes, and occasionally the results exceed your wildest expectations (in a good way).

This is how the dad remembers his daughter. He intended to snap a sweet photo of his kid but ended up with so much more.

We haven’t seen a photo this good in a long time!

Little did she know that by stopping to pose in front of a group of horses on the street, she would soon be recognized around the world.

Time reports that a Reddit user first shared the image online.

 

There isn’t much background on the photo’s creation, although it’s easy to speculate.

 

The day was probably delightful for this little girl and her loved ones. At a parade, they came across some massive Clydesdale horses.

She probably worked up the nerve to pet the horses, and her dad or an aunt or uncle probably urged her to turn around so they could snap a picture of her doing so.

The photographer told the little girl to stand in front of the magnificent horses and to “say cheese.”

What a great example of picture humor!

According to Time, this incredible picture was originally posted on Reddit in 2016 by an account that no longer exists.

It’s not known if The Wolf 101.5 FM was the original source of the image or if it had previously been posted online.

In any case, this photobomb is too funny to dislike.

 

A pet is more than an animal that you take care of. It’s so much more than that. Many people end up loving their pets as much as they love their children. Not only do they take care of them, but they bond with them. They spend time together and go places together.

While it’s easy to think that people take care of pets, and this is true, sometimes pets also take care of their people. Sure, there are instances when a pet will miraculously save someone from an accident, but there are other times when pets save their owners simply by being there. A pet to hug, to talk to and to take for a walk can do a world of good for one’s mental health.

Back in 1998, actor Michael J. Fox announced that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The disease has made his life much more difficult, but during many of the past years, he has had a pet dog to help him through.

Fox’s dog Gus is a Great Dane–Labrador mix, but to Fox, he’s a “wonder dog.” In his memoir, “No Time Like the Future: An Optimist Considers Mortality,” which was released in 2020, Fox wrote about his bond with Gus and the importance of his loyal dog in his life. He wrote, “I didn’t rescue Gus. You can argue that he rescued me, but he’d be too modest to make that claim.”

You might be wondering how a dog can rescue a person, but if you have a dog perhaps you immediately understand what Fox means. He clarified in an interview for the CBS special,

“The Pet Project.” Fox said, “You know that no matter your situation, no matter what you feel, this animal is with you and is connected to you.” He added, “Your instinct when you have a chronic illness is to sometimes isolate and make your world as small as possible so you don’t have much to deal with, but a dog will open you up.”

Unfortunately, dogs don’t live forever, even the great ones. Gus passed away in 2021, and Fox announced his death on Instagram by posting a picture of Gus and writing, “Gus — great dog and loyal friend, we’ll miss you.”

Have you ever had a pet that was more than a pet, it was also a “loyal friend”? Do you agree with Fox that a dog will “open you up”?

They had a 3,000 sq foot house full of “things” but it couldn’t compare to the home they have now.

 

The couple decided one day to live in a simple yet comfortable tiny home. The couple has two kids, who now have their own family as well.

 

If they would want to visit them, the son lives half a mile away while the daughter lives in Kentucky a 10-hour drive using the couple’s RV.

The tiny house is preowned and was built by Liberation Tiny Homes. It is situated at the Tiny Estate Village in Elizabethtown Pennsylvania.

 

The house is overlooking a pond where the couple can relax and watch the wonderful view.

It’s a decent, queen-size bed with lights that can be remotely turned on and off for convenience. There are windows on both sides for a cross-flow.

 

They eventually got used to its size. As a 6-footer, Ty had a hard time adjusting to a low-ceiling loft.

But now, they’re enjoying the peace and tranquility of their tiny house.

 

All in all, the Tiny Estates give them the opportunity to live in a small space but still be comfortable with how they are living in it.

The singer’s love life has long been the topic of rumors and speculation, but her journey hasn’t been without its share of challenges.

Do we know if Susan Boyle tied the knot? Is she in a relationship? Where does she call home at the moment?

As one ages, it’s only natural to take stock of one’s life thus far, and Susan Boyle has certainly lived an extraordinary one.

In 2008, the former charity worker, who now lives alone with her cat, Pebbles, decided to try her luck in show business after becoming unemployed.

 

The 47-year-old’s unexpected success can be attributed to his performance of I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables for Simon Cowell and the other judges on Britain’s Got Talent.

The wild underdog audition shot her to international stardom. Her story continues to motivate countless people even now.

 

“I used to be a kind of spectator looking outward at the world,” Boyle said following her breakthrough, “But now I’m a part of that world, and though frightening, I’m going to embrace it.”

The first year of her superstardom brought in $6.8 million in earnings.

Susan Boyle gives a sneak peek inside her renovated childhood home.

The publication of her second studio album propelled her to the top of the charts in both the United Kingdom and the United States, making her only the third artist to accomplish this feat.

This timid, unassuming Scotsman, then 47 years old, shot to fame and fortune overnight.

Not many people are able to say that they’ve met one of their idols. Some of us get that golden ticket backstage, or manage to work through the crowd for a handshake and a picture; these are truly special moments to fans. One fan, however, managed to do what countless fans dream of: share a stage with Michael Bublé in a packed arena.

That’s exactly what sixth-grade teacher Mrs. Diana Fairbanks did during Michael Bublé’s arena show at Oakland’s Oracle Arena in 2019. During this touching moment, Fairbanks seems unphased by the crowds surrounding her as Bublé accepts her request for a duet. They then go on to sing Disney’s “A Whole New World” together in a gorgeous melodic duet.

At first, Bublé seems to think that Fairbanks – who is holding a sign in the air – is simply trying to get his attention and show her affection (as most fans would certainly do if they were that close to Bublé). He was then astounded to discover the other side of the sign, requesting an on-stage duet with the legendary Canadian singer. Little did the audience know that they were about to witness a truly stunning moment.

The crowd roared with praise as he accepted her offer, and Fairbanks demonstrated her angelic voice from the offset. Despite his legendary status, Bublé shows us in this clip that he’s just like everybody else at his core as he stumbles on his words during the duet. This doesn’t stop him from providing excellent harmonic support to Fairbanks, who managed to pitch match Bublé by the end of the song. They even gaze into each other’s eyes for reassurance as they discover the right pitch together.

 

 

Michael Bublé is known the world over as an American vocal icon. His extensive original discography is impressive enough on its own, but one aspect of Bublé’s magic is his ability to revive overlooked songs of the past and put his own spin on them. One of the most popular covers that he brought back to life is Nina Simone’s classic “Feeling Good”, which 15-year-old fan Sam Hollyman got the chance to perform with Bublé during his show at the Birmingham National Indoor Arena.
