Let’s enjoy some Feel Good Friday stories…
1. A one-eyed cat in Scotland was missing for five years, and just turned up on an oil platform way out at sea. They think he got there by sneaking into a shipping container.
2. An 85-year-old woman tried to buy a $500 gift card from a Dollar General store in Iowa. But thankfully the manager realized she’d fallen for a phone scam and stopped it.
3. A Navy veteran in New Jersey named Gilbert Anaya says his emotional support pig named Hammy saved his life a few weeks ago. It literally saved him from a FIRE. The fire started in his garage where Hammy sleeps. Gilbert was sleeping upstairs and had no idea. But Hammy is trained to open and close doors. So when the fire broke out, he ran outside and closed the door behind him. Closing that door slowed the fire down. So when Gilbert finally woke up and smelled smoke, he still had time to get out. He’s had Hammy for six years because it helps him deal with PTSD from his time in Afghanistan.
4. A 101-year-old named Thomas Adams Jr. lives in Mississippi, and served in World War Two, Korea, AND Vietnam. And he just got promoted 56 years after he retired. He was about to become a major when he left the Air Force in 1966. But they just decided to promote him anyway, and did a ceremony at his house.
5. A woman in the Buffalo, New York area bought an old antique piece of furniture at a thrift store . . . found a bunch of old photos in it . . . and tracked down the owners to give them back. She even paid for an ad on Facebook Marketplace to help make it happen.
6. A bunch of fishermen and volunteers in China saved a beached whale last month, and it’s all on video. It took 21 hours, but they finally got it back out to sea.
7. A former nurse in Florida who worked on the front lines in World War Two just went skydiving for her 100th birthday. She says she’d done lots of things in her life, but never that. So she went for it, but wouldn’t do it again.
8. A ping-pong nut in the U.K. just broke a world record for most consecutive opponents in a single rally. He stood at one end of the table while people lined up at the other end. They’d hit one shot before the next person took over. They managed to return 117 shots in a row without messing up. The old record was 112.
