Fireman’s Children Put Hilarious Spin On His Obituary, Exactly How He’d Want

The wish of every set of parents is that the next generation is better off than they were. This manifests in material comforts, vital life wisdom, meaningful bonds, and so much more. Late New Orleans fireman William Ziegler left quite the impression on his children, who composed a uniquely hilarious obituary in his honor.

The singular approach to writing a eulogy is two-fold, as they not only cater the format to what Ziegler would have wanted, but they reimagined what should be highlighted in dedications of that nature. Learn more about what they did – and why – here.

Fireman William Ziegler shared hilarious obituaries with his children

Laughter is a universal language, and fireman William Ziegler was fluent and taught his children, sometimes in surprising ways. His daughter, Sharah Currier, revealed his habit of sharing funny texts with the kids.

 

Specifically, he would send them or read aloud from hilarious obituaries. So, after Ziegler himself passed away at the age of 69 on Friday, July 29, 2016, his family decided to give him the sendoff he so loved to read and share with others.

 

A unique way to honor a loved one

“He would have loved this,” Currier shared of Ziegler, speaking of the humorous tribute. “He probably would have forwarded this obituary to us.” It does include the traditional motions of an obituary, mentioning Ziegler’s time in the Navy, honors received, employment with the fire department, and his status as a dog owner.

 

Except, it’s all presented with dry but unmistakably fond humor. For instance, the text asserts “he wanted you to know that if he owes you a beer, and if you can find him in Heaven, he will gladly allow you to buy him another.” All this after joining the Navy “at the ripe old age of 17 and immediately realized he didn’t much enjoy being bossed around.” Retirement came after 25 years of service when “he suddenly realized that running away from burning buildings made more sense than running toward them.” When he departed, there was no love lost between Ziegler and fellow fireman Bob. Who’s Bob? No one Ziegler would give a heavenly beer to. But apparently his “alcoholic dog named Judge” might accept a cold one.

How would you want to be remembered and how would you want to describe your loved ones to the world?

Mr. Ed, The Talking Horse: 24 Fascinating Facts That You Probably Never Knew

In the 1960s, the story of a man and his talking horse captivated the globe. The show was Mister Ed, and it followed the hijinks of a talking horse named Mr. Ed and his keeper Wilbur Post. The show became an instant classic, and the character of Ed has popped up everywhere from rap music and comedy sketches to children’s shows.

Lighthearted and humorous at times, stubborn and imperious on occasion, the real Mr. Ed was a true trailblazer. In the wake of his passing we learned that while he could indeed be imitated, he was one of the greatest horse stars of all time.

Here are 24 fun facts that you didn’t know about Mister Ed…

1. BAMBOO HARVESTER WAS THE REAL NAME OF THE HORSE

Giphy

Bamboo Harvester was the name of the Palomino show horse that played Mr. Ed. Born in 1949, the Palomino lived until 1970.

Bamboo Harvester was a beautiful and energetic horse that caught the eye of many. He also won awards and accolades as a show horse. While his most notable footprint – or should we say hoof print – in Hollywood was his performance as Mr. Ed, his California neighbors remember fondly for both his spirit and his spunk.

2. PART OF A REVERED HORSE LINEAGE

This epic Equestrian celebrity’s story began in sunny California. He was born in 1949 to two purebred horses and was eventually owned by Lester “Les” Hilton. His family came from a long line of purebred horses meant for show, and his father Harvester was one of the prized horses of the San Fernando Valley.

3. ORIGINAL MR. ED TRACES BACK TO 1937

Human actors aren’t the only ones who receive special recognition and awards for their performances. In 1962, Mister Ed was honored with the Patsy Award. The PATSY Award was originated by the Hollywood office of the American Humane Association in 1939. They decided to honor animal performers after a horse was killed in an on-set accident during the filming of the Tyrone Power film Jesse James. The letters are an acronym and stand for Picture Animal Top Star of the Year. A later acronym was also included: Performing Animal Television Star of the Year. (Wikipedia)

“Some years ago, Chip and I found ourselves in a world we’d never known with no instructions or road map,” she writes of herself and husband, Chip. “When our show took off, we couldn’t have imagined all the beauty and blessings that would follow for us and for our family — all of which we’re continually grateful for.”

“But it didn’t take us long to realize that being a part of this new reality also meant being a part of the news cycle. Stories get written about us, about our family, our plans, our supposed beliefs and politics. We’ve been through it enough now to know that it’s just part of the territory, and a lot of times it’s so unbelievable we can’t help but laugh.”

Chip is usually better with ignoring the comments

She notes that Chip is typically a lot better at being able to ignore the hate or false comments. “Then there’s me, the one who wants to right the wrong. Who wants to call foul because I thought we all knew to play fair,” she shares, noting that it’s something she’s working on getting better with.
In a previous interview with The Hollywood Reporter, they opened up in detail about some of the accusations that have been thrown at them. “The accusations that get thrown at you, like ‘You’re a racist or ‘You don’t like people in the LGBTQ community’ — that’s the stuff that really eats my lunch, because it’s so far from who we really are,” Joanna says. “That’s the stuff that keeps me up.”
Chip echoed this, saying, “As an American white male, it’s hard to be perfectly diverse… In our own company, we’ve got nearly 700 employees, and one of our biggest passions is making this group represent all people.”

Mariah Carey Pays Tribute To The Late Whitney Houston On Her Birthday

Whitney Houston would have turned 58 years old on August 9, 2021. Unfortunately, she passed away back in 2012. In honor of her heavenly birthday, many artists paid tribute to her including the iconic Mariah Carey.

The two collaborated on a song called “When You Believe” for the 1998 movie The Prince of Egypt. Mariah shared a video of herself and Whitney and wrote, “Happy birthday Whitney 👑 Missing and celebrating you today ❤️❤️❤️”

Mariah Carey pays tribute to the late Whitney Houston

The song ended up winning an Oscar for best original song. The vocalists were both in their early 20s during the ’90s and had similar voices, so of course, they were often compared to each other. Mariah once said, “When you’re new, you have to be compared to someone. There are a lot worse people I could be compared to. She’s a superstar and a great vocalist.”

Over the years, there were several rumors that they had a feud because they were compared so often, but they shut down rumors when they recorded “When You Believe.” They also appeared together on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1998.

Whitney said on the show, “When we got together, it was like magic. We clicked, we laughed like old girlfriends.” Their supposed rivalry was still brought up years later! However, when Whitney passed away, Mariah attended the funeral.

 

She said, “I don’t think people could ever really understand our relationship. There was always this supposed rivalry in the beginning and then we did the duet and became friends and I saw her toward the end and I loved her… her legend’s going to go on forever.” RIP Whitney.

4 Mixtures That Completely Remove Plaque From Your Teeth

Everyone wants a perfect and attractive smile that reveals their pearly white teeth. However, certain habits such as smoking, too much alcohol, lots of caffeine or sugar, can actually harm your teeth and cause problems such as dental plaque.

The plaque is formed when bacteria in the oral cavity mixes with food byproducts and proteins which coats the teeth and sticks to fillings. Fortunately, a good oral hygiene can be of great help in preventing tooth decay, gum diseases, and even bad breath. In addition, taking a proper care of your mouth helps to protect your teeth in your later years.

Colorless and difficult to see, plaque can build up quickly without your knowledge. In order to prevent such this issue here are few tips:

  • Brush your teeth twice per day using a soft-bristled toothbrush.
  • If you desire you can also use electric and battery-operated toothbrushes.
  • Hold the toothbrush at a slight angle, toward the area when the tooth meets the gum line. Brush the chewing surfaces, inside and outside of the teeth, and the tongue.
  • Rinse your toothbrush well and don’t cover it, in order to prevent bacteria buildup.
  • Replace the toothbrush every 3-4 months, which is usually when the bristles become frayed.

Here are 4 mixtures that completely remove plaque from your teeth:

Recipe 1:

Mix 7 tablespoons of coconut oil with the same amount of baking soda. Then, add a few drops of essential oil from your choice and 1&½ tablespoons of stevia to make the natural paste. Lastly, use this mixture instead your store-bought toothpaste.

Recipe 2:

Swish a few tablespoons of coconut oil in the mouth and allow the substance to melt for 15-20 minutes. Thus, fights bacteria, cleans the mouth’s orifices, prevents cavities, and whitens the teeth.

Recipe 3: 

In a glass of water, add a few drops of each of the following: anise, mint oil, and lemon. Rinse 4-5 times daily.

Recipe 4:

Boil 2 cups of water, add ½ cup rosemary, and 1 cup of fresh mint. Leave the mix for about 15 minutes, and then drain. When the mix is cool, rinse your mouth thoroughly.

Waffle House Waitress Receives $1,000 Tip From A Country Music Star

One Waffle House waitress received a $1,000 tip from a big country music star after they were impressed with the waitress’s work ethic. Shirell Lackey was working a double shift that day and was simultaneously looking after her baby daughter while at the restaurant, she tells Fox 8 News.

She included a photo of the bill, which included the $1,000 tip on a $12 order. Lackey says that the star also gave her two free tickets to one of his shows. Lackey wants to keep the musician anonymous at this time.

“He was like, ‘I have to respect a mother that would do whatever it takes to support their child in a society where people don’t even want to work anymore,’” Lackey tells the media outlet. It’s a big deal, working in this day and age, as stores and restaurants around the US are struggling to find workers in a tight labor market. Insider’s Áine Cain has witnessed this shortage firsthand, noting the popular phrase “no one wants to work anymore” amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other business owners like Michael Lastoria, the CEO of the restaurant chain &Pizza, chalks it all up to simple laziness… and not on the worker’s end. He spoke to Insider’s Zahra Tayeb in July, saying that his 51 locations were fully staffed and that his secret was to simply pay his workers proper wages. He currently offers $16/hr plus benefits. “The idea that wages couldn’t possibly rise even once over the past 12 years while prices went up, while inflation went up, and while the cost of living went up has resulted in the ‘shortage’” that business owners are experiencing,” he says at the time.

“There isn’t a labor shortage,” he says. “There is a shortage of business owners willing to pay a living wage.”

Woman With 65-Pound Stomach Sets World Record Delivering This Many Babies

A world record has been officially set in Morocco by a mother hailing from Mali. Last year, she had one infant daughter. But just a few months ago, Halima Cisse gave birth to nine children at once, a group known as nonuplets.

The pregnancy was conceived without aid from fertility treatment, donations, or the like. But there was still plenty of work to be done because Cisse’s stomach alone ended up weighing 65 pounds carrying all those babies. Now, she’s discussing the historic pregnancy and birth.

 

Halima Cisse and Kader Arby receive the first of many surprises

 

When they saw doctors in Mali, Cisse and her husband Kader Arby were told they would be having seven babies. Sadly, doctors also warned that the chance of all seven babies surviving was about 50%. So, the couple went to Morocco where they sought expert medical care to give them and their unborn children stronger odds.

The delivery date loomed closer and arrived at last on May 5. Just minutes before, though, the couple was in for a bigger surprise: they were having nine babies, nonuplets. “It was a total shock when I found out that I was having nine babies because I thought it was going to be seven,” Cisse shared.

These nonuplets made history and defied the odds

 

So far, mother and all children are doing well since the eventful birthday. That makes Cisse’s case the first ever time when all nonuplets survived. Previously, a woman gave birth to nine children in 1971 in Australia, but sadly, all babies died within a week. Similarly, another set of nonuplets was born in Malaysia in 1999, but all offspring died the day of delivery.

The Guinness World Records has yet to verify and officially enter in this historic moment, and a representative says they hold the children and mother’s health as top priority. So far, for Cisse and the babies, that has meant she was admitted into the hospital when she was at 25 weeks of gestation and the medical staff was able to delay delivery to 30 weeks. A team of ten doctors and 25 paramedics oversaw the five-week premature delivery. As for the siblings, they include sisters Hawa, Adama, Fatouma, Oumou, and Kadidia, as well as brothers Mohammed, Bah, El Hadji, and Oumar. They join two-year-old Souda, the firstborn. Congratulations to the family!

Couple Discovers Tiled Gem Beneath Carpet Inside Their 1830s Home

A couple has discovered a tiled masterpiece hiding beneath their carpet inside their 1830s home. Kathryn and Phil purchased a gorgeous manor in England and have since been working on “restoring its Victorian grandeur.” The couple has been showing off the restoration process on their TikTok account and Instagram page.

What they uncovered was a stunning, intricately tiled floor that had been covered up for years underneath the carpet. Kathryn had discovered it after nonchalantly and innocently deciding she wanted to see what lied beneath their red carpet.

 

 

“‘I’ll just take a look under this carpet’ were the immortal words from me. Which has now led to a 2 year project to rescue and restore this Maws Tile floor. 100s of hours have been spent chipping, chiselling and scrubbing away at this beautiful floor along with one wall removed and 3 door ways added along the corridor,” the couple said in their video unearthing what lied beneath the carpet.

“We’ve come a long way with this section of the house and now I’m finally choosing the décor already for the floor’s final clean and polish in a few months time.”

 

The on-screen captions revealed even more about what they found. We never expected to find this under the red carpet. Sections of the floor had been covered by self levelling compound. It took us hours to remove it all. This floor had been covered up for years. Then we started cleaning. More tiles were covered with bricked up doorways. We put the doorways back in. Damaged tiles were reset and repaired. Now it is ready for its final clean and polish.”

Work paying off

 

Kathryn continues: “This is what the Main Hall used to look like—then on Saturday afternoon I decided to pull up the carpet and see what was underneath. 10 minutes later I’m rolling the whole lot up with Dad as we found the tiles. There was a concrete area in front of the double doors. So we thought the tiles were missing. After a lot of research and poking and prodding the walls we uncovered what we thought were the two original doorways.”

“And under all of the plaster and brickwork there they were. I think having the new doorways makes the room seem wider. We’ve also retained the red carpet as we found out it is an Axminster. It’s all rolled up as we think we will be able to use sections of it in different rooms around the house. It’s looking a bit different to when we moved in.”

 

The floor was estimated to be covered up for at least 50 years. “Luckily for this floor we love it and it won’t be covered up again in our lifetime. Even though I’m not sure if my finger nails will ever recover but now it’s just covered with a bit of dust from the general work going on in the house,” the couple says.

Ageless Michelle Pfeiffer, 63, Shares Her One Rule About Plastic Surgery

Since 1983’s ScarfaceMichelle Pfeiffer has caught the eye of thousands, and continues to do so with her age-defying looks and a career that’s showed all signs of staying just as persistent. How does she stay looking so good even at 63 as of April 2021? Pfeiffer laid out some of her routine as well as her philosophy on those two big words: plastic surgery.

It’s something that many people in and out of the limelight pursue or avoid to very varying degrees. So, what role does plastic surgery play in Pfeiffer’s appearance? So far, none, and there are reasons for it that span from her skincare routine to personal philosophy. Learn more about her views – and regimen – here.

In 2019, Oprah Daily shared an interview with Pfeiffer discussing what it means to age – and bear proof of aging – while under the limelight. Such individuals, especially women, face pressures to live up to certain standards and imposed norms as they get older. But Pfeiffer says age has just made this battle easier for her.

 

“The older I’ve gotten, the easier it’s become,” she shared. “You reach a threshold where you’re fine with looking good for your age instead of looking young for your age, and I’ve crossed it. Would I like to look the way I did in my early 30s? You bet, but that’s not going to happen, and I don’t feel the same pressure I once did to do so. It’s quite a relief, honestly.”

Michelle Pfeiffer on plastic surgery and what she does instead

For the most part, Pfieffer lets certain lifestyle choices take the place of plastic surgery for keeping up a smooth appearance. “In terms of makeup, I love the W3ll People mascara,” Pfeiffer revealed of her differing makeup standards for different occasions. “When I’m on film and, God forbid, in high-def, I need the best-performing products. Sadly, I feel like there’s still a bit of a gap between clean products and effective ones.” However, she also relies on diet – and some choice perfume. She feels “Eating a vegan diet — it’s just so much healthier — and you avoid a lot of toxinsthat could age your skin and your body.”

 

In terms of plastic surgery, Pfeiffer says she has not partook yet but does not rule it out. “Sometimes I think about it, sometimes I don’t,” she outlined. “It really depends on how well I’m lit. It depends on my makeup and all kinds of things… I’m not saying that I won’t have plastic surgery at some point. I think that it’s harder and harder the older you get to say never. Especially being in the public eye. It doesn’t really matter, I think that if people actually want to do something here or there, who cares? If it makes them feel a little bit better about themselves… What I object to is too much. And really bad plastic surgery. When I think it becomes a distraction and when people don’t look like themselves anymore. As long as it doesn’t overtake them.”

 

She also stresses, “Confidence is all about attitude. How often have you met a person who may not look like a Barbie or Ken doll but just has something sexy and classy about them? Attractiveness has more to do with the way you feel about yourself. And the swagger that can come with that.”
