One day, eight of her closest friends came to school with shaved heads, saying it was just hair, and who cared - bald is the new in. GMH - GivesMeHope

*** Random OMG Fact ***

The first person to summit Mount Everest could not read.

The mans name was Tazing Norgay, and until later in his life; he was almost completely illiterate. He had run away from home several times in his teens, and as a result, never finished his schooling. At the age of 39 when he reached the top of Everest, he still couldn't read passed what we would consider to be a 3rd grade reading level.

*** Random LGMH Story ***

I volunteered at my local hospital and saw this old couple; a man sat in a chair, holding his wife's hand on the bed and I heard her say,

"Promise you won't waste your last years missing me when I'm gone, Bill?" and he smiled and said,

"Sure. Promise you won't blame me when I break it?"

They GMH.
