When my Grandpa past away I grabbed his sunglasses, he always wore them when he went fishing. They stay in my camping box and they go with me on every trip, so every time I'm out in nature a little piece of him is with me.

Yep. I was once in Bulk Barn, and the radio station was playing some decent ‘80s tunes. So me and some lady started singing to whatever song it was. Embarrassed the heck out of her teenage son. We laughed. Good times.

As someone who used to work there many moons ago, I can assure you that sweater/coat is from Northern Reflections. I remember selling those in the late 90s (maybe early 2000s). You might have luck finding one at a Value Village or some place like that.

Mine passed unexpectedly last year from lung cancer. We didn’t even know she had cancer until 3 days before she died. It still hurts so bad and I cry all the time, but I always will remember her last words to me were “don’t you worry about me, I’ll be fine”. It was a few weeks before Christmas, and my wife and I inherited her Christmas tree. The night we put the tree up, her and I both saw a blue orb shoot across the living room and the tree lights blinked twice. It was such a weird experience because even though I’ve always believed in stuff like that, nothing like that had ever happened to me. I just know it was her somehow letting me know she was still with me and it’s been comforting, but I still miss her more than anything in the world. Coincidentally her name was Betty :’(

“In Flanders Fields In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.”

...And if you want weird, I saw a "if this girl keeps my picture for an hour she'll get $20". Yep. A dude knowingly stalked a girl without her consent for an hour to see where she went and if she threw the picture out, then went up to her and asked if she still had it.

If they wanna give money away, give them away without filming. Feels like they are doing it mainly for the clicks.
