Topic | A man bought Olivia Newton-John's 'Grease' jacket for $243,200 and gave it back |
Cocytus 12/11/19 3:27:45 PM #1 | https://www.cnn.com/style/article/olivia-newton-john-grease-jacket-gift-trnd/index.html "When Olivia Newton-John's iconic black leather jacket from the movie "Grease" sold for $243,200 last month at a charity auction, the Grammy-winning singer and actress probably thought it was gone for good. But the buyer, who described himself as her number one fan, had other ideas. "This jacket belongs to you and the collective soul of those who love you, those for whom you are the soundtrack of their lives. It should not sit in a billionaire's closet for country club bragging rights," the anonymous buyer said in Los Angeles this weekend, in a video posted on Facebook by Julien's Auctions. "For this reason I humbly and respectfully return it to its rightful owner, which is you." In the video, Newton-John seemed shocked when she realized what was in the bright pink, gift-wrapped box. "Are you serious?" she said before giving the man a huge hug. "That is the sweetest thing." The buyer wanted to remain anonymous, so his face is blurred in the video. The auction house said he is a doctor and a medical technology entrepreneur." The jacket and skin-tight pants Newton-John wore in the 1978 film sold separately in the November 2 auction for more than double their estimate and raised $405,700 for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research and Wellness Centre in Australia. Spanx founder Sara Blakely bought the pants, which Newton-John said she had to be sewn into, according to the auction house. Newton-John wore the outfit for one of the film's final songs, "You're the One That I Want," alongside John Travolta. The actress and singer screamed with excitement when she finally got to open the box and ruffled through tissue paper to get to the jacket. "You're the best, you're the best! I'm so grateful," Newton-John said, while hugging the jacket and then the buyer. "This is the most beautiful present, but mainly it's your heart that I'm grateful for." She seemed thrilled when the buyer asked if she would put it on display in her cancer center. "Yes, it was was always my dream to do that, so yes!" Newton-John said. The 71-year-old decided to auction off more than 500 items from her career -- including costumes, awards, jewelry and other memorabilia -- to raise funds for her cancer center after she was diagnosed with breast cancer for the third time since 1992. Her "Pink Ladies" jacket from the movie sold for $50,000, which was 25 times the estimated price, and a "Grease" poster signed by the cast sold for $64,000. The sale raised a total of $2.4 million, according to the auction house. On the auction website, a note said that Newton-John wanted to see people enjoying what they'd bought. Julien's asked the winners to send a photo of themselves with the item they purchased and a personal note, which the auction house would compile in a scrapbook for the star." |

Otherwise, they would call The Godfather a Christmas movie too. But they don't, because no one told them to think that about that movie. Christmas is in one scene of The Godfather.

Topic | Study says that the ideal salary needed to be happy is roughly $105,000. |
Cocytus 11/27/19 1:20:52 PM #1 | https://www.fox26houston.com/news/to-be-happy-in-houston-you-need-to-make-110000 "HOUSTON - If you want to know how much money you need to make to be happy living in Houston, the simple answer is in the six digits. A survey from Purdue University and GoBankingRates.com found that you need an annual salary of $110,040 to be happy in Houston. It also found that people need to be making between $62,880 and $78,600 annually for their emotional well-being. The study argued that the optimal amount of money it takes to be happy varies worldwide. That might be surprising as what we see on TV and what advertisers tell us we need would indicate that there is no ceiling when it comes to how much money is needed for happiness, but we now see there are some thresholds, said Andrew T. Jebb, a doctoral student and the lead author of the Purdue University study, in a press release. The research specifically sought to pinpoint the amount where money no longer changed a persons level of emotional well-being. Emotional well-being was measured according to a persons day-to-day emotions, including happy, excited, sad and angry. The survey also found that in Cleveland you need to earn $80,955 to be happy and you need to make a whopping $319,935 annually to be happy in San Francisco. Nationally, the study says that the ideal salary needed to be happy is roughly $105,000, they say thats generally enough to make people feel comfortable and happy enough to explore bigger goals. The Purdue researchers determined that, globally, individuals would need an income of $60,000-$75,000 for emotional well-being." |

If there is, he isn't consciously aware of us, maybe checks in every couple hundred years to see how shit is going, but is pretty much like "lol I have millions of others." Well I don't see him as a genie who grants wishes. God is everything, good and bad. Hell, God is responsible for more deaths than anyone or anything. He does things we like and things that break us apart, and we may never know the rhyme or reason behind it all. |

Cocytus 11/17/19 5:07:23 AM #24 | Dragonblade01 posted... I don't think there being no god is particularly mind blowing, tbh Well for me it's like the eternal question, there either is or there ain't. If there ain't, I think implications of that and our understanding of the world are huge and many. It's like the question about if there is other sentient life in the universe. We're either alone or not, and either scenario has heavy implications. I think it was Arthur C Clarke who said that. |

However, I believe there can be "forces" of nature or the universe and aspects of humanities psyche and actions that may make "god" exist in a sense, but bound by the laws of the universe and nature, not above it in the traditional "magic" sense. Yeah I agree, I don't think God exists in a magical sense. |

I mean, most people live their lives with some sort of purpose or orientation. It means nothing, but we live each fay like our lives depend on it, that feeling you get when you know, if nothing else, we are unique to be part of the fabric of this universe. It's like it means nothing but means everything all at the same time. |
