Some people have unconventional obsessions that they passionately follow throughout their lives. For Melissa Sloan, a mom of seven from Wales, getting tattooed has become an obsession. Sloan's fixation on tattoos has been making its rounds on the internet because of how it has impacted her life as a parent. Currently residing in Newport, Wales, the mom has often been scoffed at because she is covered in tattoos from head to toe. What hurt her feelings the most was how she couldn't watch her kid's perform in the school play like other parents.

Editor's note: This article was originally published on November 19, 2021. It has since been updated. The concept of death has mystified humans since time immemorial. Is there an afterlife? Are heaven and hell real? Is there a God? Death, in many ways, is a moment of truth. While we may never actually find out what goes on "in the beyond," there are a lot of questions unanswered about the moments leading up to death. A hospice nurse, Julie McFadden, who has watched countless people pass away, often discusses death and the final hours leading up to it, on her TikTok account (@hospicenursejulie). She posted a video on an unexplained phenomenon called "the rally," and it has generated much intrigue and discussion, reported Newsweek. She explained that "the rally" is when dying patients suddenly become a better and seemingly "healthier" version of themselves for a brief interval that can last up to a few days, following which they pass away. The video has garnered more than 5.2 million views and 800,000 likes.

I booked an appointment with the optician.They could see something in my eye and sent me to A&E. When they looked at my eyes, they saw that my rods and cones – the eye’s light receptors – had been...

 Nate Byrne, the weatherman on “The ABC News Breakfast,” had an unimaginably terrible experience in 2022 when he suffered 2 panic attacks on live TV on the same day. He believes the first attack was triggered by being a little late to the set for his segment and having to rush.
“As I stood there under the studio lights, talking to people having their morning coffee and wiping sleep from their eyes, my heart was racing, I was gasping for breath and sweat was pouring out of every pore as my brain screamed ‘RUN!’” he later recalled.
Byrne kept his composure and finished his segment. However, 15 minutes later, he was back on the air and had another panic attack. He went to a doctor that day who prescribed beta blockers, which reduced his symptoms temporarily.

Weddings are often catalysts for happy tears, but sometimes an extra special moment or gesture pushes it into "everybody grab a tissue" territory. This video is one of those. Don't say we didn't warn ya. Avery Albrecht shared a clip from her wedding reception in which her baby brother asked her for a dance. But Albrecht had no idea what kind of surprise the 15-year-old and her parents had in store for her. As the music begins, we hear children's voices singing—the two of them singing Phil Collins' "You'll Be in My Heart" together as children. And then the real song begins, with the bride and her brother—along with everyone watching—in a puddle.Watch all the way to the end:
