When He Stole Her Purse, She Couldn’t Catch Him. Then She Did Something Awful.

The last thing Christine Braswell expected to do when she left her local Walmart shopping center was run over a purse thief.

But when the pregnant woman made her way to her vehicle, she was greeted by a stranger later identified as Robert Raines rummaging through her SUV. Once Braswell figured out what was going on, Raines ran from the scene with the woman’s purse in hand as she attempted to chase him.

Realizing that she was never going to catch up, Braswell started her car and did something terrible.

Following the incident, Raines was taken to a hospital and was later charged with breaking and entering, along with larceny. What’s more shocking given how the altercation started is that Braswell also faces charges of misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon. Serves her right, though. Violence is never the answer.

What Paul Walker Secretly Did In 2004 Made Me Cry. And It’s Just Now Coming Out.

Paul Walker might have been most famous for his “Fast and the Furious” movies, but what most people don’t know is that he was actually a great and generous man. When he bumped into a couple in a jewelry store in 2004 that was searching for an engagement ring, he did something for them that they never expected. They never told anyone about the generosity (worth $9,000) he showed towards the soldier…until now.

Soldier Kyle Upham and his wife Kristen were in a jewelry store, searching for a ring, when they saw Paul Walker. They struck up a quick conversation. After the encounter, they went back to shopping.

Kristen had her heart set on an engagement ring that was too expensive for them to afford, so they left. Later, they received a call from the jewelry store.

They were told to come back. When they arrived, they were presented with the ring. An anonymous person had purchased the ring for the couple.

At Paul’s request, the store clerk kept silent and would not tell the couple who was responsible. But after his death, Irene King wanted the world to know how generous Mr. Walker truly was.

Kyle and Kristen kept the gift receipt, expecting it was the star that helped them, but weren’t sure until this moment. Kristen said it was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for her.

“His real life speaks volumes of his character. He really did put his money where his mouth is and did good for this world.”

Don’t just mourn the loss of an actor, mourn for the generous and kind-hearted human being that lost his life.

Adam Levine on hot mic: ‘I hate this country’; Sends douche-tweets; Updated

http://twitter.com/#!/ohheyjoshay/status/339561844412919809

Yes, yes he did. On “The Voice” Tuesday night, a hot mic picked up coach Adam Levine saying, “I hate this country,” as one member of Team Adam advanced and two others were voted off the show.

Apology? That’s not really Levine’s style.

The Obama superfan and Maroon 5 singer tweeted four dictionary definitions: joke, humorless, lighthearted and misunderstand. Translation: You guys are idjits and I’m not apologizing. Typical douche move.

joke- noun 1. something said or done to provoke laughter or cause amusement, as a witticism, a short and amusing anecdote, or prankish act— Adam Levine (@adamlevine) May 29, 2013

hu·mor·less (hymr-ls) adj. 1. Lacking a sense of humor. 2. Said or done without humor— Adam Levine (@adamlevine) May 29, 2013

light·heart·ed Function: adjective 1 : free from care, anxiety, or seriousness : happy-go-lucky 2 : cheerfully optimistic— Adam Levine (@adamlevine) May 29, 2013

mis·un·der·stand Pronunciation: (ˌ)mi-ˌsən-dər-ˈstand Date: 13th century 1 : to fail to understand 2 : to interpret incorrectly— Adam Levine (@adamlevine) May 29, 2013

Classless, kind of like the time Levine insisted it was cool for him to be an anti-Mormon bigot because Mormons are bigots.

Update:

Levine’s now blaming “frustration” for his douchiness.

His official statement, via Entertainment Weekly:

“I obviously love my country very much and my comments last night were made purely out of frustration. Being a part of The Voice, I am passionately invested in my team and want to see my artists succeed. Last night’s elimination of Judith and Sarah was confusing and downright emotional for me and my comments were made based on my personal dissatisfaction with the results. I am very connected to my artists and know they have long careers ahead, regardless of their outcome on the show.”

We await his forthcoming apologies to all the “humorless” people he insulted.

Here’s What You Should Do To Keep This Virus From Spreading From Your Doggo To You

Dogs may be man’s best friend, but boy are these tiny nuggets of joy the absolute worst when it comes to carrying and sharing their germs.

Like people, all animals carry germs. And while most illnesses and infections that are common in dogs are unable to be passed on to humans, there are certain bacteria, infections, and viruses that can cause serious illness when transmitted to humans. But of all the possible diseases passed on by your pet, none of them are as life-threatening as tapeworm.

Not only can tapeworm kill your dog, but it could also send you to an early grave, too.

While there are a variety of tapeworm species, the one most dangerous to both you and your pet is known as Echinococcus multilocularis. What sets this apart from other types of the virus is that it requires two different hosts to complete its lifecycle.

The adult worms will latch onto the intestinal walls of their primary host, which are typically made up of coyotes and foxes but can also extend to domestic animals such as house cats and dogs.

When the time comes for the worms to lay their eggs, they pass through the animal’s digestive tract and exit their bodies by way of feces. This is where the secondary hosts come into play. Typically rats or other rodents will ingest the eggs, which transform into larvae while in the secondary host’s liver. If/when a primary host eats one of the infected secondary hosts, the process begins all over again.

But instead of rodents making up the majority of secondary hosts, it’s quite possible that humans can ingest the eggs. In most cases, this will only occur in people who work closely with rodents and similar animals. These can include trappers. Ingesting fruits and herbs found in the wild can also pass on the disease.

And even if you don’t spend a ton of time in the great outdoors, it’s easy for dogs to come into contact with it in the backyard. Then when you’re on a walk and have to whip out the ol’ poop bags to pick up your pup’s mess, it can be passed to you.

Tapeworm infections in people are known as alveolar echinococcosis. During a human infection, the parasites can take months or even years to grow tiny cysts on your organs. This means that an official diagnosis may not happen right away.

While the possibility of infection in humans is incredibly rare, there are some key symptoms to look out for. They can include pain and discomfort in the chest, weakness, and unexplained weight loss, many of which may be confused with symptoms of liver cancer.

Clutter and Stress Got You Down? Take a Look at This Organizational Bliss.

If you’re like a lot of people, clutter makes you nervous and anxious. If clutter doesn’t make you feel this way, I don’t understand you and you frighten me. For normal many people, though, order brings about a sense of calm. Maybe it’s a futile human fallacy to try and fight entropy, but it really, really makes us feel better. We’re visual creatures, after all, and visual harmony makes us feel nice. It makes us feel like we’re part of that harmony. That’s why a lot of people (like me) find themselves cleaning and straightening when we’re stressed. If we can’t organize the mess of the world, we can at least handle the mess of our desks, right?

And sometimes, even looking at images of calm, serene organization makes us feel better. The aptly-named Tumblr site Things Organized Neatly has thoughtfully (and neatly) curated collections of things, well, organized neatly. They take submissions, too, so if you find yourself with a truly beautiful example of organization, snap a picture and send it in.

Now, take a deep breath and check out these beautiful images.

Everyday items look so much more pleasing like this than in a jumble in your bag.

Right angles are not necessary for organization. Curves work beautifully as well.

Now if that doesn’t make you want to arrange your belongings in a careful and delicate manner, I don’t know what will. Now if you’ll pardon me, I have some cleaning to do.

She Did The Most Disgusting Thing When Her Toddler Wouldn’t Stop Crying

Not being a mom myself, I can only imagine how frustrating it is to be a parent sometimes.

Dealing with crying, screaming, or misbehaving children could drive anyone to the edge of their sanity, but I think we can all agree that what this angry mother did is completely inexcusable.

Someone in the Guangdong province of southeast China recently witnessed a woman mercilessly kicking her toddler on a street curb while the little girl was crying. They decided to record the shocking abuse, which you can view below.

The cruel woman can be heard yelling, “Still crying?”

The Beijiao Police Department has reportedly investigated the incident, but they only gave the mother a verbal warning. She told officers that she’s been under a lot of stress lately and regrets what she did. The little girl luckily didn’t sustain any injuries. She is currently living with her grandparents.
