Every time I'm ready to give up I find something like this - thank you teens

<snip>

Sunday was the heartwarming reunion between a 93-year old woman and the teens that helped her out of the floodwaters.

Their actions may just give you a little more faith in humanity. Ashley Devriend was there to see them meet just one day later.

93 year old Sallie Cole is alive and safe thanks to these three teens after rushing water trapped her inside her home on Villa Road in Kountze Saturday.

"The rain got up around this house, right up to the door" says Sallie Cole.

"I ain't never seen anything like it honestly. It was over my waist and I'm 6'3" so" says Austin Rucks, 19.

Cole offered the boys money for helping her but they turned it down.

Instead they left their phone numbers for her in case she needs help again.

1. For every 'bad teenager' story there are 10 like this that we don't read/hear about.

Good guys, all.

2. Because M$Greedia's primary rule is to help their corporate

owners divide and rule and make people fear one another.

16. Even more nefarious root cause.

It's really all just about the $$.. they're not smart enough to really care if people fear each other or not, it's just a bonus if they do.

Ratings rules everything. Sadly it applies to EVERYTHING broadcast except maybe some NPR and XPB stations. Bad news draws more ratings and more viewer/reader/listener'ship than good news does.. so you see MUCH more of it.

4. Good morning Omaha Steve

Have a nice day

[Omaha Steve]

5. I see my dentist in a little over an hour

Oh joy.

[malaise]

6. Put on a head set and play your favorite music

I'm good at the dentist once I get that injection that removes the pain.

[Omaha Steve]

7. I'm a pretty good patient

I once fell asleep in the chair and I wasn't on pain killers.

[malaise]

10. That's more than pretty good

[Omaha Steve]

12. I had to cancel

I'm taking a sick grandkid to the doctor in an hour.

I'll see the dentist tomorrow instead.

8. They even went back for her walker! n/t

9. And they refused money

Years ago a wall of water came down on my New York sister's car and some young men came running from a gas station and rescued her.
They too refused any gift when she and her husband went back to thank them a few days later. There are lots of decent folks around but the media prefer to promote hate.

11. Jeez. Glad she is safe. Awesome story. Thank you, malaise.

13. Yep

Lucky lady. Since we don't choose our neighbors - some of us are lucky.

14. Thanks for sharing...

excuse me, got something in my eyes.

15. This from a Tea Party, KKK infested area of Texas.

Helping neighbors is still what we do down here, no politics when it comes to need, wouldn't that be nice if Republicans and 3rd Way felt the same?

Here is an old lady in need of help and people are only too ready to do so, as long as it is face-to-face. When she becomes a faceless person on SS and Medicaid, f**k her!

22. I know a lot of teens-twenty somethings that are disgusted

by the 'every man for himself' attitude that the right wing has promoted for the last 30 years. There's hope for the younger generation!
