Nuclear Weapons 745 - The Threat Of Domestic Nuclear Terrorism - Part 2 of 2 Parts

Part 2 of 2 Parts (Please read Part 1 first)
      In 1978, William Pierce, the founder of the neo-Nazi group named National Alliance published “The Turner Diaries” under the pen name of Andrew Macdonald. The novel sold over half a million copies worldwide and is still very popular among white supremacists.

Perpetual Stew

The other day I saw a post about a mom who makes perpetual stew. I had no idea people actually made it at home! I always thought it was a restaurant or business venture and not something families wanted. But this mom was very excited to share how she makes it for her house of growing teens.

Saddle Up And Read

My teen volunteers at the local shelter as a reading buddy to dogs and cats, but I had never heard of a similar program that does the same activity with horses until I saw Saddle Up and Read. The program does farm reading sessions, outreach and more to help kids master the art of reading!

The program is so simple that it works. Kids only have to check out a few books to participate and the reward is substantial. What kid wouldn't want to meet a horse?

Free Hugs Online

Hugs are so good for you. Daily hugs can help with anxiety and stress, not to mention just make you feel better. Unfortunately that's not very helpful for the many people living in quarantine right now, which is why The Nicest Place might be of some help. It's where you can get hugs from people online without ever touching anyone physically.

You can scroll through and get hugs from different people. You can add your own little greeting to give hugs to others, too! It's just a really fun idea to help people cope.

Bring Back Pen Pals

If there's ever been a great time to start writing a pen pal, quarantine has to be it! Back in the 80s so many people had pen pals and created rewarding long distance relationships. Today people still find pen pals to write via email but writing actual snail mail isn't as big as it once was.

Best Family Guy Parodies

Parodies are often our favorite form of entertainment. I think it has something to do with them affecting the part of us that loves nostalgia and remembering our favorite movies and TV shows (or ripping on them!). Family Guy has no shortage of parodies in its history, like any good animated adult show, and lots of fans have their favorites.
