In any case, sir, my spouse used to tell me that I had a behind capable of raising the dead from their graves. I wish to avoid taking any chances.
Isn’t that funny?

The house in the little Missouri hamlet of Defiance blew up, killing two small children.
Because of the extreme weather, their school had canceled classes, so they were at home.
Before Julian Keiser, age four, and Jamison Keiser, age six, could escape their burning house near Highway 94, just outside of St. Louis, or be saved, they passed away early on Friday morning.
Their mother, Evelyn Turpiano, and grandparents, Jennifer and Vern Ham, were able to flee and reach safety, according to officials and a GoFundMe page.
The news source was informed by a neighbor, Sharon Oberlag, that “they were the nicest little boys.” “They thought school was the coolest thing ever, and they were so cute.”
Because their school had canceled lessons to protect the children from the cold, Jaiden, who had just started kindergarten, and Julian were at home when the bomb went off, she added.
Firefighters couldn’t reach the victims in time since the house was already on fire when they arrived.
According to New Melle Fire Protection District Chief Dan Casey, the smoke eaters entered via a window in search of the lads.
“The fire prevented them from being found right away,” Casey stated. Later, the boys’ bodies were discovered.
Oberlag reported to KMOV that she heard an explosion-like sound coming from the residence.
“Thank God, we didn’t know we were going to lose the two little boys, but everyone came running to help.” What transpired is really tragic,” she said to the news outlet.
Oberlag went on, “They attempted, but were unable, to capture the boys, Nick and Travis, who lived next door. It is awful.
The cause of the explosion and fire is still being investigated.
The Hoffmann Family of Companies, a Florida-based enterprise founded by Missourians David and Jerri Hoffmann, was the owner of the building. According to the Post-Dispatch, the Hoffmanns purchased nearby wineries and eateries with the intention of turning the region into the Midwest’s Napa Valley.
“Our hearts are with the member of our team and their family who lost their children and grandchildren,” the firm stated in a statement on Friday. “As a family-run company, we are committed to supporting our staff and our community.”
According to the news source, the house was close to the Defiance RoadHouse, a bar and grill owned by Turpiano, the boys’ mother.
The Post-Dispatch was informed by Dan Tripp, a co-owner of Good News Brewing in Defiance, that Jennifer Ham, Turpiano’s mother, had also operated the for many years.
For the family, Tripp created a GoFundMe campaign, which as of Monday morning had raised over $145,000. He mentioned that both women belong to the Defiance Merchants Association, an organization that supports the regional wine industry.
They say, “You will never forget how excited they were about life and how much joy they brought to everyone around them if you ever met the boys at the Defiance Roadhouse, the Christmas Festival, or the St. Patrick’s Day parade.”
The family will have to pay for two funerals in addition to losing their house and everything they possessed. The statement reads, “The family will need your prayers and emotional support as they grieve the loss of two special little boys in addition to your financial contributions.”
A neighbor named Laura Emerson stopped over to place her Christmas wreath on a water pump by the destroyed house. She hung the wreath up after stuffing it with two plush animals.
“Those boys appeared content.” They were intelligent. They were happy. She informed the press, “They were loved.”
“People Only Know Me as a Freak,” The Wolf Man Struggles to Find a Job Outside the Circus
Jesús Aceves has hypertrichosis, which makes his hair grow abundantly over his face and back. Because of his condition, he’s also known as The Wolf Man. But he’s tired of this alias and wants to live a normal life.
Meet Jesús Aceves, a 55-year-old man born with a condition called hypertrichosis, which means he has abnormal hair growth over his body, especially his face. Although married with kids, Jesús isn’t fully happy with his living conditions. He says he and his family suffer discrimination. In an interview, one of his kids mentioned, “People call me names, and they even tell their kids not to be my friends.”

He worked in the circus all his life, traveling through several cities. But now, he’s tired of being seen as a freak. As a consequence of years on the road, he’s been known as The Wolf Man.
Back home and not in the circus anymore, he’s facing another challenge: finding a “normal” job. He needs to support his family since his wife works in temporary jobs.
After several failed job interviews, he agreed to try something he had always avoided: shave his face. He relied on his family barber to transform him, even creating eyebrows and lashes.
The experience was difficult since the face is an extremely sensitive body area, but both he and his wife believed that simply by shaving, he would be able to find a job.
Jesús did several interviews, and it’s confident that now he’ll find somewhere to work besides the circus. If this happens, he must shave his face every 2 days.
Although rare, some conditions aren’t impossible to have. Luckily, people find a way to overcome the difficulties a rare condition brings and strive in life. Hannah Tyre, for example, was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, meaning that her bones break very easily. But her love for makeup made her an internet influencer, reaching millions of followers. We hope that, by reaching the mainstream media, people with genetic diseases won’t suffer more discrimination.
