Thankfully, the family wasn't home.

House fires are devastating for everyone involved. Not only are homes lost, but irreplaceable items within the home are often charred beyond recognition or turned to ash. That outcome is considered lucky if no one lost their lives. Recently, some concerned teens put their rescue skills to the test when they noticed their neighbor's house on fire with one of the family cars in the driveway.

Rescue workers were already on their way when the three boys attempted to get their neighbor's attention. Their attempts and subsequent success to enter the burning home were caught on the family's doorbell camera. In the video, you can see the boys run up to the door when one begins pounding to get the attention of the people inside. The teens yell and bang, hoping to wake up anyone inside before realizing that the people who live there aren't home.

There's no definitive handbook on how to make friends as an adult, so most of us are out there winging it. Becoming friends with coworkers can be ill-advised, but often they're the only ones with whom adults spend the most time, so friendships naturally form. But those friendships can quickly sour with office politics or abruptly end when someone leaves the company. It's for that reason, many are told to avoid getting too close to people within the workplace.

This leaves people racking their brains for other ways to meet people they have things in common with. Josie, a woman who goes by the name pastacoma on social media, recently put herself out there in an attempt to meet new people. Things didn't go as planned. Josie saw an event in her area for an "anti-loneliness club" at a local sports bar. The event was shared on Eventbrite, a digital platform that allows people and event coordinators to list events and patrons to purchase digital tickets.

🗣️ Communication expert reveals the two-word phrase to turn any negative interaction into a positive

It's more than just an improv trick.

By Tod Perry

The golden rule of improvisational comedy is “Yes, and;” it's the basic principle everyone in the troupe must adhere to to accept and build upon each other’s ideas. When someone enters a scene and says, “It’s nice weather today, isn’t it?” their partner should respond with something like, “Yes, and the clouds are magnificent.” If they negate the statement with, “No, it isn’t," then the scene will quickly become dead on arrival.

In addition to making it easy for improvisational artists to collaborate and build upon one another’s ideas, the “Yes, and” philosophy also fosters an environment where people are free to share their ideas and experiment. The underlying concept is that there are no bad ideas, and we can make everything work as a team.
