They Refused To Cut Their Hair For 18 Years. But After Getting Made Over Their Transformation Is STUNNING
With each passing year comes a new hairstyle trend and different looks are always going in and out of fashion. Many of us love getting our haircut and visit the salon regularly to keep our locks not only strong and healthy, but our appearance up-to date as well. It’s just one of those things in life that we have to do to!
However, there are a few rare souls out there in the world who never cut their hair, or rather, they let years pass between trims. Tim and Wendy White used to be those people, aka the ones who manage to not cut their hair in decades! The two grew up in the 80s and they happen to absolutely love the whole rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle. In fact, they have embraced the culture so much that they even made a pact with each other to keep their hair as long and big as possible, a la the iconic 80s glam rock style!
The couple managed to rock their outdated 80s hair way past its prime and by 2003 their friends had had enough. Intervening on behalf of the Whites, they called up Oprah and told her all about the couple’s long hair story. Intrigued, Oprah invited them on her show to give them one of her classic makeovers and as you can see in the accompanying video, they are both long overdue for a cut!
The couple was interviewed before and after they went under the scissors in order to get their takes on how they really felt about their hair and looks. In her interview before her appearance on the show Wendy revealed that the last time she had a haircut was in 1992 and if you think that’s bad, Tim’s last one was in 1985! Wendy also said that she believed her hair made her look about 6-11 years older than what she actually was, while Tim said his hair aged him by 7-17 years. Even though at the time he was only 43 years old, he thought that he looked about 50-60 years old!
The two were both well aware that they needed to make a change, but they also needed professional help! That’s where Oprah and her team of experts and specialists came in. They took Wendy and Tim in under their wing and turned them into completely different looking people! You have to check out the big reveal to see the before and after, their transformation is like night and day. It’s amazing how much of a huge difference a simple haircut can make.
The best part of all comes at the end when Tim sees Wendy for the first time, his reaction is so cute and sweet. Heck, even the audience was gasping in shock by the new, revamped looks. This is one of those feel-good moments Oprah is known for, so be sure to watch the magic happen.

He Thinks He’s About To Catch A Normal Fish. But What He Pulls Up Is An Unexpected Surprise!
Anyone who has spent some time with fisherman have heard stories about the biggest fish they almost caught. The stories usually go like this, “For hours I was reeling him in, then right at the last second, the monster broke away.” The ‘Big Fish’ stories are legendary and always fun to listen to but with today’s technology we can now capture these incredible moments on our smartphones and cameras to see the proof of these tales!
In the following video, a man in a kayak was fishing in Cape Coral, Florida. This place is known as the fishing capitol of the world. Fisherman travel from far and wide to catch everything from deep sea fishing to freshwater canals, and everything in between.
What this man pulls out of the water is larger than an NBA player. He reels in an enormous Goliath fish! This is the same fish that King David defeated in the bible. This particular fish was over 7 feet and weighed 552 pounds. This is thought to be the largest fish ever caught on a small kayak.
This species of fish is protected under law and was later released, after it was weighed and measured. Enjoy the video and let us know about the size of biggest fish you ever caught!

Rooster Avoided and Refused To Go In The Chicken Coop Every Evening. The Reason Tore My Heart Up
When a rooster named Poodle Roo was acting off his keepers at Apricot Lane Farms in Moorpark, California took note. He wasn’t behaving in the customary way, like how a normal rooster would act, and every night he’d leave the warm safety of the chicken coop to head out into the wide open fields to sleep!
Night after night workers would go out looking for him in the dark and they’d always find Poodle Roo roosting all alone on the cold ground. This was dangerous and farm owner John Chester was worried about the little guy when he explained that “Roosters are meant to be the confident protectors of the flock, but no rooster is a match for what lurks at night.” In order to keep Poodle Roo safe and secure the farm staff ended up making him a special place to bunk at night in the barn away from the other chickens.
However, the question remained as to why he would rather stay outside in the dark all by himself than in the warm, safe coop with all the other chickens? Mr. Chester, who also happens to be an award winning filmmaker, decided to get to the bottom of it and attempted to reintroduce Poodle Roo back with the rest of the flock. So late one evening the rooster was placed in the coop in the hopes that the others would accept him. They did not, instead all of the other roosters attacked him until he nearly bled to death.
Everyone was taken aback by the sad turn of events and worked around the clock to nurse him back to health. They cleaned his wounds, kept him warm, and prayed he’d recover from the horrible ordeal he went through. Miraculously the little rooster bounced right back and in no time at all he’d healed and made a full recovery.
Around this time it was also discovered that Poodle Roo was partially deaf and blind. The new information shed some light on why he kept running away and was picked on. As Mr. Chester so heartbreakingly put it, “In the mind of this defenseless creature, sleeping alone in the pasture was the safer option.”
In true survivor fashion, Poodle Roo grew even stronger from everything he’d been through and came out a more confident rooster than he ever was before. He also started helping out other injured or sick chickens who were brought in to Apricot Lane Farms for recovery. He showed the newbies all the good spots for finding food around the property and patiently waited alongside them if they were weak or limping. Not only that, he also made friends with a lonely barn cat on the farm and is now known as the barn nurse among staff and visitors!
Poodle Roo is a true inspiration. Through all the bullying, fighting, and loneliness he didn’t get bogged down in feeling bad for himself and never once did he give up. In the end he came out stronger and better than ever, and he chose to help others through the scary, lonely times they were facing. It’s amazing what a difference one partially deaf and blind rooster can make and in the lives of those who know him he’s made the world a much better place.

Nobody Believed Her When She Described Her Parrot’s Afternoon Ritual. So She Caught THIS!
Parrots are among the most intelligent species of birds in the world and lots of them share a special bond with their human companions. The exotic, beautifully colored birds are quite clever and many are able to pick up words and expressions from simply being around their owners. Besides being fun and endearing companions, they’re also complex creatures who require a lot of love, attention, and training to be happy and truly thrive!
Marnie, the beautiful blue feathered parrot with a distinctive black line circling his neck in this video, is proof of just how loving and affectionate parrots often act. The blue Indian Ringneck, a parrot subspecies, knows a thing or two about how to sweet talk a lady and in this case it’s his owner and best friend. When he spots her across the room he flies right on over, lands on her shoulder, and politely asks “What are you doing?” before telling her “You’re so cute!”
The pair chat for a little and when his owner asks for a kiss he obliges and says “Thank you.” This may be the cutest conversation you’ll ever see as they go on to shower each other with tender words and a few more kisses! It’s clear that Marnie is loving the attention being paid to him and it’s always wonderful to see the mutual love and affection being shared between owners and their pets. These two are a match made in heaven!
According to his mom, there are a few other phrases Marnie knows in addition to “you’re so cute,” “what are you doing,” and “thank you.” He also says “peek-a-boo,” “whee!,” “bye-bye,” “that good?,” “quack quack,” and “yuck, yuck, yuck.” She says that he’s always been a lover from day one, and always asks for kisses, which is why she describes him as a “polite Casanova.”
Check him out! You can’t help but smile and fall in love with what an awesome, well-spoken, and polite parrot Marnie is!

Video: This Pup’s Mom Asks Her If She Wants To Take a Shower. Her Response Is Priceless!
Many dogs have a love/hate relationship when it comes to getting wet. They either really like and enjoy bath time or absolutely loathe and avoid it all costs. For little Misty, the energetic Corgi featured in this video, taking a shower is without a doubt her absolute most favorite thing to do in the whole entire world!
In fact, just mentioning the word “shower” sets her off and gets her super excited. Even if Misty is sleeping and completely relaxed one moment, as soon as she hears mention of a shower she’ll jump up and take off running to the nearest bathroom. She barks and yaps up a storm the whole way there and when she reaches the shower she doesn’t hesitate to jump right in.
Misty can be seen sailing over the edge of the tub with ease in this clip as she fly’s through the shower curtain. Shower doors don’t even stop her, the clever pup knows how to open them with her mouth!
Once she’s in the tub she turns and looks up at her owner with the cutest expression on her face that’s just full of anticipation. She’s waiting for him to turn the tap on and the moment he does she attacks the water flowing out of it, biting and nipping wildly like a dog gone insane!
Check out the compilation of Misty bugging out over the shower, it will make you smile. Her reaction is the cutest and most hilarious one you’ll ever see of a dog actually wanting to take a shower!

Scientists Are Warning People That This Type Of Milk Is Linked To Causing Cancer. I Had No Idea.
Do you remember those old “Milk. It does a body good” commercials and advertisements that used to be everywhere in the 80s? Back then milk was milk, it came from a cow and even if you hated it your mother forced you to choke a glass of it down!
These days milk is anything but straightforward and there are many different types beyond the traditional cow or goat’s milk on the market. People now have almond, hemp, rice, coconut, and soy milk varieties to choose from. Each has their own benefits and drawbacks, whether it’s the taste, price point, or the health benefits they provide. However, none has been more controversial than soy milk.
Soy milk is the number one most consumed type of soy-based food. Many lactose intolerant people use it as a milk substitute, vegans like it because they don’t want to drink milk produced by an animal, and some like it because it’s low in fat. While there are undoubtedly some nutritional benefits to soy milk, the negatives outweigh the positives.
Below is a sampling of the harmful effects soy has on your body and Dr. Josh Axe covers more points in the accompanying video. While you are free to decide what to put in your body, consider the reasons why soy milk is bad for your health before you drink another glass of it:
1) The majority of soybeans are genetically modified organisms (GMO)- According to statistics kept by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on the adoption of genetically engineered crops in America, 94% of soybeans were genetically modified in 2014 and 2015. This means the plants have had their DNA altered to make them herbicide tolerant so that they can be sprayed with Monsanto’s RoundUp, a pesticide product that kills weeds, and not be affected by the super toxic chemicals.
In effect, this has also made soybeans one of the most pesticide contaminated foods out there. There are many serious health risks posed by pesticides and herbicides to people, if you ingest them they can make you very sick.
2) Soy contains high levels of aluminum- Aluminum is believed to be a contributing factor to many degenerative brain diseases, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, because it produces immense oxidative stress on our bodies. The toxic metal is absorbed and accumulates in our bone, liver, brain, and kidney tissue, which negatively impacts our entire body and the nervous system overall. In addition, soy based infant formula has been found to be worryingly high in aluminum and should be avoided whenever possible.
3) Soy contains isoflavones, biologically active compounds called phytoestrogens which look like estrogen and can thus activate estrogen receptors in the human body. Phytoestrogens can disrupt and depress thyroid function, alter normal estrogen levels, and interfere with endocrine function. They have also been causally linked to breast cancer in animal studies and an increase in levels of carcinogenic breast cells.
4) Soybeans contain anti-nutrients, including phytic acid- Anti-nutrients bind to minerals like calcium, iron, and zinc and makes them unavailable, or completely unusable, to our bodies. Phytic acid also inhibits digestive enzymes in our stomach and intestines, which may lead to problems and disruption.
5) Raw soybeans are poisonous- Soybeans must be cooked before eaten to eliminate the poisonous compounds found within them!
