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

From OMG-FACTS.com

An estimated one billion birds die each year in the U.S. from smashing into windows.

More info: It is estimated there are between 5-20 billion birds total, so this is a huge number. Birds will attempt to fly through any window larger than 4” wide by 2” high.

*** Random LoveGivesMeHope Story ***

When I went to work, I had to park in a garage.

There was a homeless man that was there, and I had spoken to him everyday while others didn't. One day, I returned from work, noticing the surrounding cars had been broken into. The homeless man told me that he wouldn't let anyone break into my car.
