TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: The Man Who’s Been Donating Blood For 37 Years Has Helped Save Thousands Of Lives

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: The Man Who’s Been Donating Blood For 37 Years Has Helped Save Thousands Of Lives

Most people have donated blood at some point in their lives, but nothing compares to the amount this guy has donated.

From Texas, his name is Marcos Perez and he has been donating blood every two weeks for 37 YEARS! Specifically blood “platelets,” which take longer but can help more people in need.

Marcos had a blood transfusion which saved his life as a baby.  So he started doing it this in 1984, as soon as he was old enough to donate.  And pretty soon, he’ll hit the ONE-THOUSAND donation mark.  The most recent time he went was his 962nd blood donation. So far he has helped just under 3,000 people. Unbelievable.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Is It “St. Paddy’s” or “St. Patty’s”?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Is It “St. Paddy’s” or “St. Patty’s”?

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Now if you’re posting on social you’ve probably seen and typed it both ways Paddy’s with a D’s and Patty’s with T’s. According to a new poll 49% of Americans go with the T version, 29% go with the D version, and the rest aren’t sure. But which is the real correct way?

Don’t worry, I found the answer for you.

People with Irish heritage are more likely to use the D version. This is the original, authentic Irish abbreviation. Reason being because the patron saint of Ireland is St. Padraig, which has a D in the name.  In English, the name is St. Patrick, which is where the T’s come from.

So if you want to be authentic and true to Ireland go with Paddy’s.

What’s your favorite Irish saying or proverb?  Anna and Raven asked around the office and got some great answers!  Their boss even wrote his own Irish Limerick about them!  (2:29)

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Family Uses Creative Hot Dog Idea To Give Back

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Family Uses Creative Hot Dog Idea To Give Back

Restaurants around the country are coming up with unique  ways to give back during this pandemic. This might be one of the most creative I’ve seen yet.

This hot dog place in Virginia called Perfectly Frank (great name BTW!) created a promotion called “Franks for Friends” where you can buy a meal for someone else to eat later.  What happens is they put your receipt on a bulletin board, so anyone can grab it and trade it in if they are running short on cash or just need a meal (here’s a pic). Now so many people have done it that they have a stockpile of receipts ready to go each day.

Amazing.
