105-Year Old Lady Got Her Birthday Wish: Handsome Firefighters 

Or should I say G-DAY! Miss Ivy appears to be my kinda chick! For ‘105’ she looks DAMN AMAZING and still knows how to get a party started! 

I sincerely hope to have had 1/2 the fun she appears to have had in life by the time I reach even 1/2 her age. The most beautiful thing about this is …she’s still going strong ..or at least planning on it! I love how she can still call shots at 105 years of age, she was probably a force to be reckoned with in her prime. 

Cheers to life, and shot calling it to the fullest! 

According to AJC.com:

A 105-year-old got what she wanted for her birthday: a group of burly firefighters clamoring through her bedroom window.
Ivena Smailes lives in a senior care home in Crawcrook, England. Staff told ABC News that every year, Ivy gives them a special task for her birthday. This year, she wanted some hunky firemen to climb through her window.

Staff at Addison Court Care Home made it happen, scoring five firefighters from Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Services who were more than happy to help celebrate Ivy’s birthday.

Staff at the senior care home say Ivy has a great sense of humor, so they weren’t at all surprised when she made the request.

The celebration included cake and singers, who performed Ivy’s favorite tunes by Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra.

Ivy isn’t slowing down either. She already has big plans for her next birthday: to meet Prince Harry.

Indian Woman Eaten To Death By Pack Of Stray Dogs

Apparently there is a severe stray dog problem ravaging some parts of India, so bad that the people are losing their lives as a result of their ferocious wolf like attacks. 

Authorities in Indian Kashmir have poisoned more than 1,200 dogs over the past two weeks after complaints that packs of strays were biting people and chasing vehicles.

According to The Mirror:

The mother, 65, named locally only as Siluvamma, was visiting a beach in Kerala, south India, when the attack took place.

Her son, Selvaraj, went out to look for her and after coming across the dogs managed to flee into the sea.

Since the incident, locals have staged a protest urging authorities to do more to stop stray dog attacks, which have become an increasing concern in the area.

Selvaraj later gave a harrowing account of the incident to local reporters.

He said: “My mother went to the beach at night.

“As she did not return, I went out searching for her.

“What I saw was shocking. She was being attacked by over 100 stray dogs. She was bleeding all over the body.”

Mourning relatives have been pictured outside the family home of the victim since the dog attack.

When her son was able to return to her body, she had her limbs torn off by the animals, The Hindu newspaper reports.

There has been a reported increase in dog attacks in the area over the past few years.

Local politicians have discussed how to tackle the issue, but locals have grown impatient at their lack of action.

One neighbour added: “We have lost all our patience as the authorities are hanging on to some obscure law which says dogs cannot be eliminated.

“Are we inferior to these dogs?”

Wow! Where in the hell are all of those dogs coming from? I guess if we didn’t have animal control here in the States, we might have the same problem. Crazy!

California Man Dies During His Birthday Party After Lying Down in Front of Friend’s Car

An Orange County man died on Sunday after lying down in front of his friend’s car as she drove away from his birthday party, according to the OC Register.

Jonathan Carlyle Merkley was celebrating his 34th birthday at the Staybridge Suites hotel, in the 6600 block of Mira Mesa Boulevard when the incident occurred, according to reports.

Around 12:30 a.m. the friend got in her BMW and attempted to leave the party when Merkley walked in front of the car and lay down in an attempt to stop her, according to the Register.

The woman, who had allegedly been drinking with Merkley prior to the incident, did not stop and continued driving, running her friend over in the process, police told the Register.

Merkley suffered major trauma to the chest and later died at a local hospital, according to San Diego Police Sgt. Tom Sullivan.
The driver has been identified but has not been arrested, according to police.

QUESTION?– Why hasn’t this young lady been arrested???? Are drunk driving & vehicular homicide not real charges in California? 

What a terrible way to have to go out- on your birthday, trying to save a ‘friend’ who ends up killing you in the process! The fact that she was so intoxicated that she drove right over this man & kept going is even more gut wrenching. 

Thank goodness she didn’t kill anyone else on her drunken ride home!


Hotel guest Gloria Williams told KTLA:

“She needs to turn herself in. You need to understand there was a mistake that was made, but to do the right thing. I think this is crazy, we don’t value each others lives.”
