Indiana: 12-Year-Old Boy Made Honorary Marine Before Succumbing To Cancer-Related Infection, Local Marine Stands Guard At His Hospital Door Entire Night Before He Passed Away…
12-year-old Cody Green has always admired the strength and courage of the marines. At 12:35 Saturday afternoon, it was the Marines admiring the strength and courage of Cody.
Cody had leukemia since he was 22 months old, but beat the disease three times. Although he was cancer-free, the chemotherapy lowered his immune system and Saturday afternoon, he died from a fungus that attacked his brain. Members of the Marines decided to step in and do something.
“They decided Cody, with the strength and honor and courage he showed through the whole thing, he should be a Marine,” said Cody’s father David Snowberger.
Cody was given Marine navigator wings and was made an honorary member of the United States Marine Corps. For one Marine, that wasn’t enough, so he did even more.
“The night before Cody passed, he stood guard at Cody’s door at the hospital all night long for eight hours straight,” said Snowberger.
This needed to be reblogged twice. Read if you want to cry.

“He told me i was doing a photo shoot of him and to send some pictures to his mother back home, and he wanted to be in his uniform and me looking nice in a dress. And then when i set the timer and ran over to stand beside him, he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife.”

You’ll never regret that extra rep.
I see all of these “you’ll never regret one more rep” and “you’ll never regret working out” pictures and every single time, the first thing that pops into my mind is: wrong. I regret a couple of workouts I did. The ones that caused pain in my hip in the first place, the ones that I did too soon after my surgery, and the ones I did a year later thinking I’d given my body plenty of time to heal that are now the cause of my second surgery. So unfortunately, I do, and always will regret some workouts.

I wish my dog worked out with me! Her little sprints last half a block and then she’s down for the count. Maybe it’d be different if I had a yard and she could run around all day instead of being cooped up in a kennel and tiny apartment.

“As an avid gym-goer and outdoor person who’s dependent on her music and fitness apps, my phone has become my best workout buddy. (After all, it never flakes on me.)
I’m not alone, and for me and the many others who rely on their phones for fitness, storing our phones while breaking a sweat isn’t always a simple task. Sure, you can shove it in your sports bra, stick it in your waistband, or just hold it in your hand, but come on — that’s gross.
Web sites like Amazon are chock-full of workout armbands for almost any smartphone, but they’re pricey and the comfort of any given armband is hit or miss. So before you fork over $20-30 on an overpriced accessory, grab an old tube sock and see how well it performs as your trusty workout armband.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- A tube sock, with an 8-inch or greater “tube”
- Scissors
- Needle and thread (optional)
Start by cutting the sock at the end of the tube section, where the foot begins, so that you have just the tube. Then, turn the sock inside-out and insert your arm so that the top of the sock is at the middle of your upper arm.
Finally, fold up the bottom of the tube so that it’s right-side-out again, and meets the top of the tube, forming a pocket. Insert your phone and voila — you have a comfy smartphone armband.
Optional: With the needle and thread, create a vertical stitch along the back of your armband to secure the sock in a permanent “pocket” position.”
So I ended up making this and it works AMAZINGLY. Such a great, cheap alternative to buying those like $50 ipod armbands. You just might want to wash it regularly so it doesn’t get smelly lol

Spent 5 hours at the Er tonight. My hip started spasming after my completion at school where I was on my feet for 8 hours with no break getting my model beautified. Won lots of prizes for it and I’m excited but I did end the night in tears and high on morphine. I was trying to put off this next surgery, but I really think I need it now. Looks like I’m out of the weightloss game for a few more months again. :/
I know all those photos on weight loss blogs that say things like “Keep Going”, “You can do this!”, and “Don’t quit now” are meant to keep you on track with your diet, but they’re really inspiring me in other areas of my life as well. I’ve been going to cosmetology school for a year now and I have a little over 3 months until I graduate, and the new seniors on the floor have made my daily life slowly get worse and worse to the point where I’ve gone from my hyper manic stage to full blown depression. Yes I’m bi-polar, and yes I’ve had other changes in my life recently as well. But going to school everyday with such hypocritical, aannoying, self-obsessed, self-righteous, disgusting, rude, fake people who shove god down my throat while professing how perfect they are in their sin filled lives, who tell me I don’t know what I’m doing when it takes them three hours to do the exact thing I can do in twenty minutes, who constantly break the rules and then go tattle on the rest of us to the SCHOOL DIRECTOR, because they think they can do no wrong. I’m sorry if this doesn’t make sense anymore, or if it’s not “positive” so it’s making people mad, but I need to get this out there to whoever may care. I may not be perfect, but I dont claim I am. I may not be respectful all the time, but I was in the fucking Marine Corps bitch, I know what fucking respect means. I may not be nice to you, but I’m tired of going to a secular school and getting religion shoved down my throat from a goddamn hypocritical lesbian who according to every bible I’ve ever laid MY eyes on is living in sin daily. I’m going to school to get my fucking cosmetology license and get on with my life, not to be brought down into a deep depression and rage so bad that I have dreams about killing the three of you and wake up feeling happy that your gone. I don’t need to leave school after being there for five minutes because I know if I stay I’ll jeopardize my career by doing something I’ll regret or I’ll break into tears in front of these girls I HATE. I am >this close
