Another police incident of officers open firing in a public area.  However, it's not what you think.  With temperatures reaching over 100 degrees in Illinois, police officers helped kiddos cool off with water gun fights.  You've really got to hand it to these officers.  They certainly have a great sense of humor!

BRAVO to this woman!  The windows weren't even vented and the vehicle wasn't left running with the a/c.  What is wrong with people?  Don't make excuses...no living thing: children, dogs, cats, goldfish should EVER be left in a hot vehicle!  It doesn't matter what your circumstances are.

Lately, my newsfeed on Facebook is filled with engagements and expecting mothers, or those who have already popped! As a 22-year-old, this is extremely strange to see simply for the fact I, personally, still don't feel like an adult most of the time...

You might not have known this, but there are plenty of counties in Maine where gold has been found. In fact, 11 of Maine's 16 counties have had reports of gold being produced. Let's take a look at where some of the best places to find gold in Maine are.

My son, Brennan, recently brought in those popper thingys.  Whatever you call them.  McCoy was so excited to run outside and set them off.  But notice how he becomes a very bad influence on the poor kid, who willingly takes his suggestions.  Oy!  See what I have to deal with.
