  5. Why are most men such overly melodramatic drama queens who poke fun at how emotional women are? So few men are truly mature.
  6. Tardar Sauce, also known as Grumpy Cat, died at home in the arms of her "mommy" Tabatha following complications from a urinary tract infection on May 14, 2019. Her death was announced on May 17, 2019, on social media and saddened many people. Tardar Sauce (April 4, 2012 – May 14, 2019), nicknamed Grumpy Cat, was an American Internet celebrity cat. She was known for her permanently "grumpy" facial appearance, which was caused by an underbite and feline dwarfism. Tardar Sauce was one of a litter of four kittens born to a calico mother and a blue-and-white tabby putative father at the home of her owner, Tabatha Bundesen of Morristown, Arizona. The Bundesens said that Tardar Sauce's face appeared grumpy because the feline had a form of dwarfism. Though the mother and father were described as "normal sized domestic short hair cats", Tardar Sauce was undersized and had hind legs that are "a bit different". Both she and her brother, Pokey, were born with "a flat face, bubble eyes, and a short tail". Although she had a "grumpy" appearance and was called "Grumpy Cat", according to the Bundesens, "Ninety-nine percent of the time she is just a regular cat." She came to prominence when a photograph of her was posted on September 22, 2012, on social news website Reddit by Bryan Bundesen, the brother of her owner Tabatha Bundesen. Lolcats and parodies created from the photograph by Reddit users became viral. She was the subject of a popular Internet meme in which negative, cynical images are made from photographs of her. "Meme manager" Ben Lashes represented Grumpy Cat, in addition to Keyboard Cat and Nyan Cat. In 2013, Tabatha Bundesen took a leave of absence from her job at Red Lobsterto manage Grumpy Cat's schedule, while her brother Bryan Bundesen manages the Grumpy Cat website, Facebook, YouTube and Twitteraccounts. She will be sorely missed...

  11. Nurse Who Outsmarted Hitler Is One Of The Most Courageous Women Of This Century. Irena Sendler was one of the most courageous women of this Century. She was a member of Zegota, a secret underground organization that was created by a group of people along with the Polish government that was in exile in London during the war. They helped hide Jews and provided for them so they could escape. During the war, Zegota members managed to save 5000 Jews. At that time Irena Sendler was a Catholic nurse/social worker who worked with the poor and was in charge of taking care of the Typhus cases in Warsaw, Poland. When Hitler invaded he forced all the Jewish people into the Warsaw ghetto and cut off all supplies of food, or any other kind of help from them. When Irena saw the Jewish children being corralled to their death she was devastated, then she took action. As a public health nurse, she was in a unique position to help with Zegota. Irena smuggled 2500 children out of the ghetto in coffins, tool boxes, burlap sacks, garbage cans, supply crates, and ambulances, under the disguise of them having Typhus. She cleverly trained her dog to bark continuously when being stopped, and questioned by guards so they would not hear the baby’s crying. She then placed them in private Catholic homes, and Catholic convents. Irena kept a record of the children’s real, and false names so they could be reunited with their families after the war. She buried that archive in a jar, under her apple tree in her yard to keep it and the children safe. Irena was betrayed by another woman who under torture told the Nazis about her. Irena was then captured, tortured, beaten, and interrogated. Both her legs and feet were broken, then she was sentenced to death by firing squad. Still, Irena would rather have given her life than betray her mission. She knew all those children would have died, and even worse more people would have died. Poland was the only country where if someone was caught hiding a Jew, that person, their entire family, and even their neighbor was executed. Zegota managed to intercede and get a guard to release Irena, however, she was left a cripple because of the brutal beating she had endured. Movies and biographies have been done depicting her life, and extraordinary courage but this woman has not gotten half the recognition she deserves! Irena was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize but did not get it; she lost out to Al Gore. She has been given the titles of “Angel of the Warsaw Ghetto,” and by the state of Israel she is called, “Righteous Among The Nations.” Irena died on May 12, 2008, at the age of 98. She stands out as a real role model, and one of history’s most courageous, humble, and loving women! Every child saved with my help is the justification of my existence on this Earth and not a title to glory.”(Irena)

  13. Of a truth: "Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful."
