A great-grandmother near Toronto named Carol Shyminsky went skydiving for her 85th birthday.  It was on her bucket list, and she loved every minute of it.  She says she didn’t tell her family, because she didn’t want to worry them.  But when she told them later, they weren’t surprised.  Her advice for people is straight out of Nike’s playbook.  If there’s something you want to do, “just do it.”………. A 20-year-old Florida man says his faith is renewed after his cross necklace saved his life.  His buddy was showing off his gun and shot him in the CHEST from 10 feet away.  But his necklace slowed the bullet just enough to not kill him………………And finally…………..   

A MO nature center just threw a 41st birthday party for a turtle named Peanut.  Her name is Peanut because she’s shaped like one.  She got caught in a plastic six-pack ring in the ’80s, so the middle of her shell couldn’t grow, but luckily, she’s lived a good long life anyway and became an anti-littering icon.  The E.P.A. now requires all six-pack rings to be degradable, but they take months to break down in sunlight, so if you take the time to cut those loops, it does still make a difference.
