Betters Jr. is facing a charge of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony, after he sent a text message of a drug offer to a Rotterdam police detective.

8 THINGS POSITIVE PEOPLE DO DIFFERENTLY
Find something every day to look forward to. Whether it’s catching up on a favorite Netflix show, trying out a new dessert recipe, or having coffee with a friend, these things don’t have to be big. Having concrete activities to look forward to will make your days unique, distinct, and hopefully give each one a sheen of happiness.
Celebrate the small stuff. Don’t prolong happiness. Find joy in even the tiniest things — your favorite song coming up on shuffle, a funny text from a friend, a beautiful sunny day — because it adds up. Soon, you won’t have to stop and smell the roses because you’ll be smelling them all the time.
Be kind. When in doubt, choose kindness. Positive people look on the bright side, sure, but they also tend to pay it forward by passing on their positive energy to others. Giving is generous, but it also makes the giver feel even better.
Stay busy. “Busy” isn’t code for “stressed out of your mind.” Instead, being busy means filling your life with fulfilling activities. It relates back to having something every day to look forward to. Start a hobby. Structure your weekends with fun things to look forward to. Most of all, be proactive about keeping busy, because living your life to the fullest is up to you.
Accept responsibility for your actions. Being positive doesn’t mean being delusional. By owning up to where you trip up or make mistakes, you’re being honest with yourself. So, since you’re not hiding from yourself, you can then…
Forgive yourself. As much as you want to treat others with kindness, you deserve the same treatment. Okay, so we all make mistakes, and we all have regrets. Learn from them. Forgiving yourself will make it infinitely easier to…
Know when to move on, and not dwell on defeat. You gotta pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and valiantly forge ahead. A positive person knows that a defeat isn’t the end of the journey, but part of the journey.
Resist comparisons. Being positive is far simpler when you do not set yourself against others, as we all have separate strengths and struggles. Instead, work on achieving your own fulfillment, which you can only find by searching inwards–and, of course, by staying positive.

FUN FACT FOR YOU:
Share this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!
Dead Women Can Give Birth. It’s very rare, but it has been known to happen. Called “Coffin Birth,” it’s a phenomenon that occurs when a pregnant woman delivers a child spontaneously after her death—due to gases that built up in the abdominal area, putting pressure on the mother’s uterus and forcing the baby out the birth passageway.

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by FunkyMonkeyShirts.com

According to a news report, a man melting down dental fillings inside a Massachusetts apartment building caused fire officials to deem the dwelling uninhabitable because of mercury contamination. Fall River firefighters were called to Hamlet Street apartment building last Saturday and learned a 51-year-old man had tried to melt fillings on January 25th. The man, who received the fillings from his dentist grandfather, thought the fillings were made of silver, but the fillings were actually made of mercury. The man then became sick and has been in the hospital since January 28th. The man’s girlfriend called the building’s management company prompting fire officials and a HAZMAT team responded to the building Saturday. WPRI reports there were “elevated levels” of mercury in the man’s apartment and other areas of the building. The building was deemed uninhabitable and won’t be opened until a crew cleans up the building. (https://bit.ly/2IaYOsX)
