Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

Talk about a close call.

Camping is great and all, but it does leave you at the mercy of nature. You know, if you're really roughing it out there with tents and what not. If you're toughing it out in a 30-foot camper with running water, I don't know if you can really call that camping.

But I will say that staying in a camper or RV is safer when it comes to having run-ins with wild animals.

In this clip, we get to see how nature can show its teeth at any moment. A family camping together was set up on some...

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

Do you think it’s a good idea for a small business, one that’s very young but growing, to seek out investors?. My advice to someone in this position is to grow their business with organic cash. That may sound like a fancy phrase, but it just means you earn the money with which you’ll grow. This may mean growing a little bit slower, and it might even mean passing on a few “big deals” you thought were going to be the best things ever to happen to you and your business. But you want to know something? That’s okay. I’ve turned down plenty of deals like that over the years, and it’s left me firmly convinced it’s better to be the tortoise than the hare.
