TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: 90-year-old couple finds lost wedding ring 30 years later
It’s one thing to lose something and get it back. But imaging going 30 YEARS without finding something that means so much to you.
That’s what happened with this story down in Alabama. A guy was renovating a home he just bought and while ripping up the carpet and floors he found wedding ring. Figuring it probably belonged to the previous owners he contacted the couple. Sure enough it was a ring they had lost 30 years ago! Now in their 90s they were very happy to finally get it back.
I feel like this calls for a renewal of their vows right?!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What does the “TY” stand for on the Beanie Baby tag?
You may have been one of the many people who collected Beanie Babies in the mid-90s. It was a toy phenomenon. There’s actually a great documentary on HBO Max right now about the whole company and story. It’s called “Beanie Mania”.
Anyway, you probably remember that little tag on all the stuffed animals with the letters “TY” on it. What did that stand for?
Ty, Inc was actually the name of the company which was founded by a man named H. Ty Warner. He was a forty-something eccentric guy who always wanted to build a stuffed toy that was better than all the rest. He had worked at toy companies in the Chicago area where he’s from for year. But the beanie baby craze was his claim to fame.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD! “Sweet Cuddly Mayhem”
Anytime you can break a world record and help people at the same time it’s a win-win all around.
Last Saturday the Hartford Wolf Pack were playing the Hershey Bears at their arena in Central Pennsylvania. The idea was that once the Bears scored their first goal of the same fans would throw stuffed teddy bears or animals on the ice. As soon as it happened the bears started flying from the stands. A total of 52,341 stuffed animals were collected which broke the world record.
They will all be donated to the Boys & Girls Club and other charities for children who need comfort. Such a nice world record to break. Bravo!
The video is really fun to watch too…. the best part being the announcer’s call of “SWEET CUDDLY MAYHEM”!
