They're calling it "the sweetest comeback in the history of ever." After going bankrupt in 2012, Hostess was acquired by Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co. Now, with new management in place, Hostess products will be returning to stores on July 15 of this year, and boxes of 10 Twinkies will be priced at $3.99.
Sometimes dreams do come true.
Few are as dedicated to their jobs as Dr. Zenko Hrynkiw. When he got word that a patient needed surgery six miles away and Tuesday's snow-induced traffic prevented him from driving, he simply walked. Hrynkiw states that "It wasn't that big of a deal" and "it was kind of a fun journey." He even stopped to help some cars out of a ditch. Watch his news conference here.
Upon hearing that his flight was being led by a woman, a passenger left this note for pilot Carey Smith Steacy. She posted photos of the note to her Facebook page, along with this response:
To @David in 12E on my flight #463 from Calgary to Victoria today. It was my pleasure flying you safely to your destination. Thank you for the note you discreetly left me on your seat. You made sure to ask the flight attendants before we left if I had enough hours to be the Captain so safety is important to you, too. I respectfully disagree with your opinion that the "cockpit" (we now call it the flight deck as no c*cks [Ed: Obviously she did not censor herself] are required) is no place for a lady. In fact, there are no places that are not for ladies anymore. I have heard many comments from people throughout my 17 year career as a pilot. Most of them positive. Your note is, without a doubt, the funniest. It was a joke, right? RIGHT?? I thought, not. You were more than welcome to deplane when you heard I was a "fair lady." You have that right. Funny, we all, us humans, have the same rights in this great free country of ours. Now, back to my most important role, being a mother.
If you get in my way, there's a very good chance I'll sacrifice my first cup of coffee by pouring it over your head. The second cup will be used for victory-sipping and I will have NO REGRETS.

I shopped at Publix tonight at Ormond Towne Square and saw this random act of kindness by a Publix employee. I took it quickly and I found out the employee's name later from his manager. An old man could not reach down to tie his shoe so not only did Gage tie the one but he did the other as well; all with a smile. I thought he should be recognized for his actions. Here is the picture I snapped on my iPhone.

The Prime Minister of Norway, Jens Stoltenberg, decided it would be a good idea to really listen to the people, so he did what any self-respecting politician would do: he became a cabdriver for the day.
The awesome company behind this is Squeegee Cleaning Services of Chelsea, AL. Employees from the Alabama company dressed up as Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Captain America, and dropped by to "hang out" with the kids during the work day. Superman can fly, but hey, we all need a day to relax every now and then, right?

Waking up on Monday morning with nothing to look forward to but corporate speak and lower back pain is enough to make anyone want to kidnap the fax machine and smash it out of it's misery à la 'Office Space'. Wes of The Gentleman's Armchair has created some sad but true comics to take the edge off. So take a coffee break and read through these work related web comics for a quick pick-me-up before getting back to the grindstone.
