Obituaries are usually shared publicly, either through newspapers or online platforms, meaning they can reach a wide audience, from a few people to potentially hundreds. One notable obituary sheds light on family discord. Kathleen Dehmlow’s two adult children composed an obituary for their mother and shared it with their entire community. At first glance, it resembles a standard tribute, but as you read further, it becomes clear there were unresolved family issues. The ending is particularly shocking, though oddly humorous.

The Redwood Falls Gazette published the obituary, but it was removed after receiving significant backlash. A family member confirmed the obituary’s accuracy, though it was said to lack a “significant amount of omitted information.” Dwight, a family member who was interviewed, shared a different perspective, stating that Kathleen had made a mistake sixty years ago but had shown remorse, reminding us that everyone makes mistakes.

Despite this, the person who wrote the obituary chose to leave on a bitter note, likely causing discomfort for many readers. Some even questioned whether the obituary should have been published at all. The newspaper’s CEO responded by confirming there was no legal reason to prevent its publication, noting that their partners maintain strict editorial standards and took the concerns seriously by reviewing the piece carefully.

Now, you’re likely curious about the content of this unusual obituary. Don’t worry—we’ve got it ready for you to read.

The truth is that most houses don’t have enough power outlets to keep everything running and charged, so most of us rely on power strips without realizing that plugging appliances that use a lot of electricity into a power strip turns them into dangerous fire hazards.

Although power strips are ideal for charging your phone or powering an entertainment setup, there are several items that should never be put into one.

Air conditioners, space heaters, toasters, and other high-wattage appliances can easily cause power strips to overheat, posing a fire threat.

Even before plugging anything into a power strip, evaluate how much power it can handle. This is frequently stated on the product.

To function, high-capacity appliances require a large amount of electricity to be drawn through an electrical circuit. Keep in mind that an appliance does not have to be enormous in order to consume a lot of power.

Below is the list of appliances that should never be plugged into a power strip.

1. The oven: Even though the oven is not used continually, it is a power-hungry appliance that should not be plugged into a power strip. In fact, it should be plugged into its own wall outlet on its own circuit.

2. Refrigerator: Refrigerators require a lot of power and frequently cycle on and off which can easily overload a power strip and cause damage. Much like the oven, refrigerators require a wall outlet dedicated solely to powering the appliance.

3. Washing Machine: When turned on, washing machines pull a lot of power. This is the main reason why these appliances shouldn’t share a receptacle with any other appliance or device.

Most washing machines use a max of up to 1400 watts, putting it dangerously close to the max load of most power strips. On top of that while working, washing machines are usually left unattended and work longer hours, at least an hour, which is long enough for a power strip to overheat.

4. Heating: Portable heaters should never be plugged into a power strip because most of them use 1,500 watts of energy on their high setting and they usually run for extended periods of time.

5. Microwave: Since they consume a lot of energy when used, most microwave ovens are plugged into their own receptacle and that is always a good practice.

6. Coffee Maker: Those who own a coffee maker are not fully aware of the power these appliances use, and this is why they should never be plugged into any sort of power strip or extension cord.

7. Toaster: You may think that browning up slices of bread or bagels doesn’t require a lot of energy, but the truth is that toasters use a lot of energy when in use and they should be plugged directly into the receptacle rather than a power strip.

8. Another Power Strip: Power strips are not meant to be used in conjunction with another power strip, although many people do exactly that. This, however, violates most safety codes because it can easily lead to overloading the electrical system.

9. Electronics (Computer, TV, Router): These types of electronic devices don’t necessarily use a lot of power on their own, but they are sensitive to surges and you can find yourself with a burnt out computer or TV very quickly if you plug them into a power strip.

If you want to protect these sensitive devices from power surges, opt for a power strip that functions as a surge protector.

The story began in 2018, when the family’s arborvitae trees were damaged by deer. When James and his family were preparing to repair the damaged trees on the east side of the yard, they noticed something peculiar between them. What they initially thought was an electric box was actually something lot more puzzling.

In May 2018, landscapers were sent in to remove the damaged trees and gain access to the mysterious metal box while planting bamboo trees that are resistant to deer. They were surprised to discover that the metal box was the entrance of a gigantic hornet’s nest rather than just a regular electrical outlet.

The size of the nest itself as well as the strange sounds it was making—like a car engine struggling to start—astonished James and Liam. Unlike any other nest they had seen, this one seemed to be hiding something important.

James contacted a hornet control professional for help, and when he got on the scene, the specialist appeared confident enough to manage the situation. But as soon as the specialist approached the attic, where the hornets had a distinct hive, his attitude shifted dramatically. The family was upset when he promptly declined the task.

James attempted to contact several pest control companies for assistance, but was always urged to wait until winter for a solution. James decided to act independently owing to the deteriorating situation and the unbearable noise the hornets were producing inside their home.

But his decision turned out to be dangerous. James put on safety gear, walked into the attic, and attempted to remove the hornets’ nest on his own. He was assaulted by furious hornets in a terrifying incident that resulted in multiple stings and great discomfort. His relatives found him comatose on the first level after he barely escaped.

Their little son Liam took it upon himself to smoke out the hornets, determined to put an end to the problem and safeguard his family. He dressed covertly and went into the attic, where he used a smoker to temporarily suppress the hornets despite the obvious danger. But his efforts had an unanticipated consequence, and the hornets, awakening from their momentary coma, turned more vicious.

As the situation worsened, Liam made the vital decision to flee the attic and close the window, eliminating the hornets once more. When the smoke cleared, he discovered that the hornets were protecting something more essential within their nest.

When James learned of Liam’s bravery, he was both proud of him and anxious for his son’s safety. However, the discovery within the hornet’s nest complicated matters and sparked a furious quarrel between James and his wife, Emma.

Emma was horrified and enraged, not only at James for hiding the nest for so long, but also at the frightening items inside. James ultimately acted as a result of the increased stress and growing emotions. He drove away, leaving behind a fog of unresolved questions and a frightening item wrapped in towels.

The hornet’s nest encounter not only tested the family’s bravery, but also revealed a frightening truth that might severely change their lives. The family must cope with their unsettling discovery while the exact nature of the object hidden in the attic remains unknown.

Even a few of the most respected entertainers still get pre-show jitters similar to they utilized to while carrying out at their high school skill program.

Although he has yet to “make it” in the home entertainment world, he provided one skill program efficiency that has actually motivated countless individuals to follow in Brett’s steps and pursue their dreams.

Since all his peers think about Brett as a peaceful and shy person, they’re shocked when he marches on phase with as much self-confidence as the King of Pop himself. It is nearly as if Brett had a personal session with Jackson, a master class, where he got to choose the famous entertainer’s brain and discover his relocations from the pro.

However as it ends up, Brett never ever got to being in with Jackson. He just found out the dance moves through hours and hours of tough practice and devotion to the art type.

Due to the fact that Brett has a credibility of being shy and shy in school, his schoolmates had no concept what to get out of him when they saw it was him strolling throughout the phase to carry out next at the skill program. Nevertheless, as quickly as the music began, the audience might inform they remained in for a reward.

Nobody is going to try a Michael Jackson tune unless they’re damn proficient at what they do. The audience understood that.

Maybe the most motivating feature of Brett’s efficiency is his personality. Due to the fact that he is thought about among the “shy ones” at school, he shows that shyness can be shed like undesirable skin.

This efficiency is nearly like Brett as a caterpillar emerging from the cocoon as a gorgeous butterfly. His peers acknowledge the improvement in him also– which belongs to the factor this video efficiency has actually gone on to end up being so inspirational.

If Brett can step up to the difficulty, so can everybody else who has actually been concealing his/her skill from the world out of shyness or insecurity

At the time of the efficiency, Brett made a strong impression on both his audience and the contest judges. So it ought to not be a surprise to discover that Brett won top place in the skill program.

Since he did such an excellent task at the Pitman High School skill program in Turlock, California, Brett went on to dance for his fans on NBC, CNN, and ABC’s The View.

Michael Jackson cover bands have actually likewise contracted with Brett to have him begin trip with them. He is a struck through and through.

Born in West Virginia to a coal miner, Steve Harvey didn’t have a lot growing up. When he did set out to forge a career he had to fund his dream with a string of jobs including being a mailman, carpet cleaner and even a boxer.

After his divorce from his first wife, he was sending his pay checks from his standup comedy gigs home to his kids, leaving him with hardly any money. As a difficult consequence, he found himself homeless.

“One or two gigs fell through, and suddenly I was homeless…I had nowhere to go…It was so disheartening… A week is really the maximum you can do. This was three years!” the comedian once explained to PEOPLE.

The woman’s scheme, although bold, proved to be ill-conceived. Her date, known as Mr. Lui had wanted to impress Miss Zhang by offering to treat her and her relatives at one of his favorite restaurants. However, he was taken aback when confronted with not just her presence but that of her entire extended family, which amounted to 23 members. Understandably, Mr. Lui balked at the prospect of footing the bill for such a large gathering, leading to an uncomfortable situation.

The setting for this awkward encounter was a restaurant in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang, as reported by the local paper Taizhou Evening News. The woman’s intentions, albeit questionable, stemmed from a desire to gauge Mr. Lui’s willingness to share and provide for her family. However, her execution of this plan left much to be desired, especially since it was a blind date.

As the meal progressed, it became evident that Mr. Lui was not on board with the woman’s test of generosity. Instead of graciously accepting the burden of the bill, he made an abrupt exit, leaving the woman to face the consequences alone. The bill, totaling a substantial 20,000 yuan (or, $3,100), was now solely her responsibility, a bitter outcome for her attempt at a test.

However, Zhang did not just leave it there. The partner, jilted by how the blind date went, even went on to file a lawsuit against Mr. Liu. The court ruled that Mr. Liu should only pay 1400 yuan of the bill.

In hindsight, the woman’s attempt to assess her date’s generosity was not only unsuccessful but also costly. While she may have had noble intentions, her method of testing Mr. Lui’s character backfired spectacularly. This cautionary tale serves as a reminder that honesty and communication are key in any relationship, rather than elaborate tests of character.

No matter how much they try to have everything done, there is always a mess coming from around the corner such as spilled milk, scattered toys you are very much likely to step on, and stains all over the place. Having a quick shower before going to bed or taking some time for yourself is a luxury not many mothers can afford.

A woman named Heather Duckworth who went through all these struggles and joys of being a mother, had recently shared a touching post about the things we take for granted while raising our kids. All these messes they leave behind are inseparable part of the process of growing up in front of our eyes and becoming the people we always hoped they’ll become. That is why, no matter how hard and impossible that seems, we have to strive to find the joy between the messes our little ones make, for one day they will be the greatest reminder of the childhood we as parents provided for them. Unfortunately, there are women out there who don’t get to experience the chaos and the clutter children make, or bereaved parents who lost their little trouble maker and now those masses are just a reminder of the child once made their life complete.

Heather’s post titled “The Blue Stain” that has gone viral touched the hearts of many mothers and mothers-to-be.

As Heather was trying to scrub the grout her daughter made with the slime, her heart started bouncing as she recalled the mess she had to clean years ago.

This mother of two-year-old triplets and a four-year-old big brother would spend most of her days chasing her kids, picking toys after them, making sure no one gets hurt in the piles of laundry she couldn’t do that day because of the many other things she had to take care of, but as she says,“My hands were full, but so was my heart.”

That evening, before going to bed, Heather and her boys were dancing to the music coming from the radio as they were putting the toys in their place. None of them could imagine that would be the last time in a while they had so much fun.

Just as she though the boys were getting to sleep and she gets some time to rest herself, she heard one of the kids say, “Uh, Oh” and that’s when she discovered the big blue stain that will remain with her forever. One of the triplets was clutching a pen that exploded in his hand and sprayed ink all over the place. The little boy resembled a smurf as his hands, face, and his pajamas were all colored in a bright blue color. Seeing this, Heather got frustrated and felt as though she failed at her mother’s role. She wasn’t mad at her son, but she blamed herself for placing the pen in the reach of the children. She let her emotions take over.

“I gasped as I saw blue splatters across the floor and a thick pool of ink sinking into our carpet – our brand new carpet. I quickly yelled for my husband, who had been doing the dishes, to come and help me. I instantly felt so upset as I grabbed my son and took him to the bathroom to clean him up and my husband started scrubbing those bright blue stains on our carpet.” 

The stain couldn’t be cleaned from the brand new carpet, and any time Heather would notice that stain, she would feel frustration an anger all over again. Until the day the stain remained a symbol of all the beautiful moments she could spend with her boys.

Only one month after the blue stain got on their carpet, the boy who made that mess was diagnosed with cancer, and two years later he passed away, leaving the stain behind him to remind his loved ones of the time they spent together.

It was still there . . . and now . . . it was a constant reminder of my son. It was a constant reminder of my frustration over something so trivial . . . something so unimportant in the scheme of life.
That blue stain was a constant reminder that life is messy, but that’s what makes it worth living. A constant reminder to not sweat the small stuff. A constant reminder that ‘things’ aren’t important, but people are. A constant reminder that accidents happen. A constant reminder to let go of the little things and hang on tight to what is important.”

She tried hiding that stubborn bright blue stain under the furniture but every time she would clean the place it would stare back at her, reminding her of her pain and her loss.

Heather’s story is there to teach us that we very often take things for granted and fail to enjoy the little things in life that make us who we are. She wants to tell all the mothers out there that the piles of laundry and toys are what make the house a home. Those messes are created by the most important people in our life; those messes Heather refers to as “a blessing in disguise” are what make our lives worth living because there comes a time when we dearly miss those moments. “I would have a million blue ink stains on my carpet if it meant I could have one more day with my son.”

Her message for the mothers is that they mustn’t allow to be absorbed by what is happening around them because that wouldn’t let them enjoy the time with their children. Always focus on what is important, because life is too short to spend it on rubbing stains.

The youngest of their children, Prince Louis, is one of the most charming little boys who never misses a chance to make the world smile with the silly faces he makes during royal occasions. Most of his photos which portray him ‘misbehaving,’ such as those from his grandfather’s public birthday celebration when he was shown either holding a sneeze, trying not to laugh openly, or simply reacting to a bad smell, entertain the public.

His parents make sure Louis is treated gently. “William and Kate are easier on Louis because he’s the baby of the family. They don’t want to break his little spirit,” an insider told OK! Magazine.

“Louis is quite a handful,” the source added. “William and Kate do their best to teach him how to behave but understand these events are tiresome for a youngster. They are like other parents with young children in this way. It does make them more relatable to the public.

“They gently admonish him when he gets out of hand because he’s got to learn,” the source said of George and Charlotte. “William and Kate know the day will come and making faces won’t be ‘cute.’ Hopefully Louis will grow out of it.”

According to royal experts, Louis, as well as his sister Charlotte, would continue having royal roles as time goes by, but Louis will likely be just a ‘private citizen’ rather than a full-time working royal just like his father’s cousins Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, and Zara Tindall who have often been involved in larger royal events of recent years, though they’re not considered full-time working royals.

“George, Charlotte, and Louis, who had starring roles at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June [last year], are being raised by their parents with an awareness of their positions and the roles they will one day carry out in support of the monarchy,” royal author and expert Katie Nicholl wrote in her book The New Royals.

“George knows that, like his papa, he will one day be king, while Charlotte will likely juggle the role of being the spare with a career. Louis could well be a private citizen undertaking occasional royal duties, like William and Harry’s cousins Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips, as well as princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.”

But, it turns out that King Charles, Louis’ grandfather, has other plans for the young royal.

Mere days after Lilibet and Archie’s titles were officially added to the Buckingham Palace website, King Charles announced another significant change within the Royal Family.

His youngest brother, Prince Edward, also titled the Earl of Wessex, was honored with a new title: the Duke of Edinburgh.

The statement issued by the Palace read, “His Majesty the King has been pleased to confer the Dukedom of Edinburgh upon the Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex and Forfar, on the occasion of His Royal Highness’s 59th birthday. The title will be held by Prince Edward for His Royal Highness’s lifetime.

“The Dukedom was last created for Prince Philip in 1947, upon his marriage to Princess Elizabeth, who held the title of Duchess of Edinburgh before acceding to the throne in 1952. The new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are proud to continue Prince Philip’s legacy of promoting opportunities for young people of all backgrounds to reach their full potential.”

Prince Edward would hold the title until the rest of his life. The wish that he gets the title was of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, and King Charles simply granted it following their passing.

As reported by the Mirror, the Duke of Edinburgh title isn’t inherited, which means when Edward dies, it will revert to the crown. Once that’s done, one of Kate and William’s children would likely inherit it, and as per the media, that would be Prince Louis.

Before Edward was handed the title on his 59th birthday, King Charles announced his determination to slim down the monarchy and downsize the number of royal titles.

“Charles’s charitable portfolio is being streamlined for when he is king, and this same forensic approach is being applied to how much and what the Royal Family does in his reign,” royal expert and author Richard Kay wrote for the Daily Mail. “As it will certainly downsize, it means fewer royals carrying out engagements.”

“So it is against a background of a slimmed down monarchy that the prince has been developing ideas about working royals, their titles, and how they fit in with his vision of a modern Britain.”

Kay continued: “Someone close to Charles told me that rather than more royal titles, the prince prefers fewer… The Edinburgh title, created by King George I for his grandson, Frederick, has been revived twice (by Queen Victoria for her second son Alfred and by George VI for Prince Philip), and Charles may even wish it go to his own grandson, Prince Louis.”

The CBS sitcom, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, also generated its share of memorable moments, including these five episodes:
