I think it's fake
Ok, sooo...if you think this is real you'll think I'm an awful person...and hey, when I first saw this I was shocked too.
But then.....
I watched it again. And again. And now I'm not so convinced...
Heartbreaking? Yes.
UNTIL I found NEW videos on youtube, MONTHS later, of her miraculous recovery. She is speaking and walking normally and no one can figure out how.
I think this is a simple case of Attentionwhoreitus syndrome. Common among cheerleaders who were recently married then missed the attention they had when they were single. Cured only by a crapload of hits on youtube.

"Sammies"
If you're going to try to get free food from Sammy's, take this little story as an example of what NOT to do.
Three college-age kids come in, two boys and one girl. I know the girl from a mutual friend, we say hello.
One of the guys she is with pulls out a Quiznos business card, stapled to a take out menu. Someone has written "1 Free Sammie's Meal" on the top, with a signature and date underneath.
"hmm..." I say. "What's this?"
"Sam gave that to me," says the boy.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, he gave it to me on Christmas."
Then I laughed out loud.
"Of all the people in the world to spell 'Sammys' wrong, Sam himself would be the last."
The 3 all look at each other and laugh, still trying to play it off "Yeah, yeah he gave it to me on Christmas!"
I laugh along too.
"That's soooooo strange, especially since he just married my sister, and spent his entire Christmas break with my family. In San Diego. Weird. He must have gone to Quiznos and started handing out "sammies" coupons down there."
Then all three of the kids looked at each other, then RAN OUT OF SAMMY's! I'm not kidding! They left their fake coupon, booked it out the door, all the way down the street and around the corner.
That is definitely the CRAZIEST attempt at free food I've ever had at Sammy's. People claim to be his cousin, or that he said they could get free food, or even swear they have worked there before. But never has anyone written themselves a free coupon on a Quiznos take out menu, and not even had the decency to check their spelling.
GET IT TOGETHER, CRIMINALS OF PROVO.
I'm sending this in to the police beat.

Jenny Lewis
I love her.
I had a dream last night that my boss fired me from my nanny job, and I woke up with an awful feeling in my gut.
I would cry.
I like this job.
Even the gross stuff is fun in it's own way.
Like yesterday, I went swimming with the boys at an indoor pool, and the 3 yr old kept having to go pee. A total of 4 times in 3 hours. I was bewildered, because there was a huge amount of pee each time, yet I wasn't giving the kid a waterbottle or anything.
Upon further inspection, I noticed the kid was periodically SWALLOWING THE POOL WATER. WHICH IS SO DISGUSTING I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU.
It'd be gross in ANY pool, but this pool has a water playground thing, and since it was President's day there were about 300 kids bopping around sharing the same water, and no way was there not epic amounts of urine in there.
Afterwards though, I laughed. And crossed my fingers that he would get a really bad case of diarrhea or anything from all that chlorine.

LOANS
Hello noble savage.
I've officially decided to go back to school. I can work full time and take night classes (which will suck, but I can manage since my job is pretty legit and I'll only be taking a few credits) and get back into the momentum of learning.
Now that I've decided that, I need a loan.
Should I get one from my bank? From the government? What's the best case scenario is FAFSA isn't an option? Tips, success stories, warnings, etc, are all appreciated.
