Mom warns after teen almost dies in freak phone charger accident https://simplymeblog.com/mom-warns-after-teen-almost-dies-in-freak-phone-charger-accident/ Mon, 19 May 2025 02:16:35 +0000 https://simplymeblog.com/?p=127770 Mom warns after teen almost dies in freak phone charger accident

A mom is speaking out after her son almost lost his life because of his phone charger. The accident has propelled her to warn others about the same thing possibly happening to them.

Keep reading to learn more.

Danielle Davis was startled awake by her 16-year-old son Rayce Ogdahl’s screams on the morning of April 20, 2024.

She recalled, “I heard him shout ‘mom’ and my son was standing in the hallway.” She rushed to her son’s side to see he had burn marks around his neck.

“He said: ‘I’ve been electrocuted,’” she recalled the terrifying moment.

Danielle shared how her son told her he was in bed and ‘rolled over’ to get more comfortable when he heard something fall on his bed. His phone had been charging so that his alarm for school would ring in the morning.

But when Rayce rolled over, his metal necklace came in contact with the exposed prongs of the charger plug in the extension cord.

The contact caused a surge of power to pass through the necklace, which scorched the teenager’s neck.

The mom added the horrible accident that happened, “Because everything was metal, it made a complete circuit around his neck.”

Rayce was reportedly ‘completely conscious throughout the whole thing and aware he was being electrocuted.’ He felt pain as the voltage surged through his body.

“He said this all happened within a matter of seconds and he visibly saw sparks coming from his neck,” the mom shared. “He told me his whole body hurt and he thought he was going to die.”

After she heard the screams and saw the damage, she immediately rushed her child to Integris Health Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma.

After doctors checked him, they informed that Rayce had suffered from second, third, and fourth-degree burns. They also told them that he had been shocked with enough amps of voltage to have killed him.

He had scars covering almost his ‘entire neck’ that started from his chin to his collarbone. You can see the pattern of the necklace on his skin because of the accident.

She noted that the accident has made her son ‘a lot more self-aware’

The mother resolved, “We’re just so grateful he’s OK. He could’ve easily died that night. It was amazing he was still conscious and could still alert us. It would’ve been a different story.”

She is now issuing a warning to others, saying, “When it comes to your phone, there’s not a text message or notification that is important enough to have your phone on your bed. Anything can happen and Rayce is proof of that.

“Pay attention to your cords and I would recommend to anybody don’t use extension cords at all,” she said.

Behind the gown: Diana’s quiet goodbye to the woman who understood her pain https://simplymeblog.com/behind-the-gown-dianas-quiet-goodbye-to-the-woman-who-understood-her-pain/ Mon, 19 May 2025 02:13:44 +0000 https://simplymeblog.com/?p=127755 Behind the gown: Diana’s quiet goodbye to the woman who understood her pain

When Princess Diana floated down the red carpet at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival, all eyes were on her — cameras clicking, flashbulbs popping, the world breathless over her ethereal beauty.

But in that moment, not everyone realized the deeper meaning stitched into the folds of her soft blue tulle gown.

More than fashion

Every time Princess Diana stepped out at a public event, all eyes were on her. Known as “The People’s Princess,” she radiated charisma—and when it came to style, she rewrote the royal rulebook. During the 1980s and ’90s, Diana became a global fashion icon, often opting for softer, more approachable looks over traditional royal formality.

One of her go-to style signatures? Pastels. These soft, elegant shades were a staple in her wardrobe, showing up in everything from tailored suits to flowing gowns.

One of Princess Diana’s most iconic fashion moments — though not as widely known as others — happened back in 1987.

Diana’s appearance at Cannes alongside Prince Charles was brief — just 10 hours in total. Officially, the royal couple were in Cannes to honor Sir Alec Guinness, support the British film industry, and attend a glamorous black-tie gala at the Festival Palace.

Intense security at the Gala dinner

Diana didn’t speak during the dinner — but she didn’t have to. All eyes, and every camera lens, were locked on her. That dinner became the most sought-after invitation of the entire festival. Security was intense, with ticket holders required to bring their passports for identity checks just to get in.

And when Diana she made her way into the screening of The Whales of August — most simply saw a princess in another stunning dress. Photographers captured her from every angle — her gown’s flowing chiffon scarf catching the breeze.

But it wasn’t just a glamorous photo op. Diana’s strapless, powder-blue gown, designed by her longtime collaborator Catherine Walker, was more than fashion.

Walker, the designer who would go on to define many of Diana’s most unforgettable fashion moments, crafted a gown that did more than turn heads—it quietly paid homage to another royal figure who had deeply impacted Diana. With its flowing lines and icy hue, the dress echoed the elegance of Princess Grace of Monaco, a woman whose tragic end had always lingered in Diana’s mind.

The Philadelphia-born star, who was the epitome of class and beauty, retired from the big screen at just 26 years old to marry Prince Rainier III and become Princess of Monaco.

Five years before the 1987 Cannes Film Festival, Grace Kelly had tragically lost her life in a horrific car crash — the same heartbreaking fate Diana would meet just ten years later.

Barely a mention

Yet on that glamorous night in Cannes, few in the media seemed to notice the subtle tribute woven into Diana’s flowing pale blue gown, a quiet echo of Grace’s timeless, icy elegance.

Few realized that Diana’s gown was a subtle tribute to one of her earliest royal confidantes. At least, it wasn’t something the newspapers picked up on at the time— if you look through the 1987 archives, there’s barely a mention.

But today — and for a few sharp-eyed observers even back then — the connection feels obvious. The dress, with its icy blue tone and flowing silhouette, looked strikingly similar to the Edith Head gown Grace Kelly wore in Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch a Thief, famously filmed along the French Riviera.

That choice was no accident. Diana and designer Catherine Walker reportedly took direct inspiration from Grace’s screen presence — even down to the specific shade of blue, which Hitchcock himself had picked to evoke a sense of cool, untouchable beauty.

Diana and Grace Kelly shared a unique bond. Though their time together was brief, it left a lasting impression on Diana.

In 1981, just after her engagement, Diana had met Grace at a charity gala. Nervous and overwhelmed, the 19-year-old bride-to-be had broken down in tears in the ladies’ room. It was Grace, then 51, who held her close and offered the kind of advice only a woman who had lived through the royal machine could give. That moment stuck with Diana.

Cannes also had a special meaning for Princess Grace — it was there on the French Riviera that she, still an American actress at the time, met her future husband, Prince Rainier, in April 1955.

And 32 years later, as she stepped onto the same French soil where Grace had first met Prince Rainier decades earlier, Diana honored her quietly. No speech. No press release. Just fabric, color, and memory.

This striking accessory brought an airy, flowing quality to the dress, “catching the breeze that was high on the evening of the film screening,” as Newsweek described.

Two years later, Diana would re-wear the same gown to the premiere of Miss Saigon. And in 1997 — just months before her own tragic death — she included it in her famous Christie’s charity auction, where she sold 79 iconic dresses.

According to Tatler, Cannes gown sold for $70,700. It would later resurface at auction in 2013, fetching over $132,000, with the proceeds going to a children’s charity.

In 2017, the dress sat behind glass at Kensington Palace, part of a tribute marking the 20th anniversary of her passing. Now, it serves as a time capsule — not just of Diana’s style, but of her quiet depth, her grief, and her tribute to a woman who understood her pain better than anyone else.

Nicole Kidman’s Golden Globes Speech to Keith Urban Wasn’t Just Romantic—It Was a Raw, Soul-Stirring Reminder That True Love Still Exists, Even Under the Hollywood Spotlight https://simplymeblog.com/nicole-kidmans-golden-globes-speech-to-keith-urban-wasnt-just-romantic-it-was-a-raw-soul-stirring-reminder-that-true-love-still-exists-even-under-the-hollywood-spotlight/ Fri, 16 May 2025 03:39:14 +0000 https://simplymeblog.com/?p=127622 Nicole Kidman’s Golden Globes Speech to Keith Urban Wasn’t Just Romantic—It Was a Raw, Soul-Stirring Reminder That True Love Still Exists, Even Under the Hollywood Spotlight

Nicole Kidman may have skipped mentioning her two children in her Golden Globes speech, but she made sure to shine a special spotlight on her husband. With a voice full of sincerity and emotion, she declared, “Keith Urban, when my cheek is against yours, everything melts away—and that is love,” after winning Best Actress in a TV Miniseries or Movie.

As the camera zoomed in on them, Urban, proud yet tearful, placed a hand over his heart, clearly moved by Nicole’s words. The audience reacted immediately with spontaneous applause and misty eyes, showing just how rare and beautiful such a public display of love can be.

Even Nicole’s Big Little Lies co-star, Reese Witherspoon, couldn’t hide her delight. The moment Keith’s name was mentioned, Reese turned toward him with a warm, joyful smile, sharing in the tenderness of the moment.

At one point, Nicole slightly stumbled as she leaned in to kiss Keith, and this small unscripted slip only made their love feel more genuine and intimate, making the moment even more touching and real for those watching.

Beforehand, there was an intimate and warm atmosphere between them, reflected in the little glances and gestures they shared during the speech. It was clear that the love they showed was not just for the public, but a deep and sincere personal connection.

Nicole’s words were not just a statement, but a reminder of the strength of their love, which seemed to defy time and life’s challenges, standing out as a bright light amidst the glitz of the stage.

In the end, that moment became one of those memories that last — not just for them, but for everyone who witnessed their simple, beautiful, and heartfelt love in the middle of a grand ceremony.

My Husband Died on Our Wedding Day – If Only I Knew He Fooled Us All https://simplymeblog.com/my-husband-died-on-our-wedding-day-if-only-i-knew-he-fooled-us-all/ Fri, 16 May 2025 03:35:22 +0000 https://simplymeblog.com/?p=127609 My Husband Died on Our Wedding Day – If Only I Knew He Fooled Us All

I thought I was living my dream when I married Damian, but it all turned into a nightmare before the reception. I ended up burying my husband three days after our wedding, only to come face-to-face with him behind the wheel of a taxi.

This isn’t something I can tell the people around me, so I have to use the anonymity of the internet for it. You can call me Paige. I’m 28, and just a few months ago, I was the picture-perfect bride.

But my soulmate, whom you may call Damian, died after we said I do. They say life flashes before your eyes when you’re going to die, but our entire relationship flashed before mine as I saw him drop to the ground.

Damian and I met at a small café where I used to work part-time. He was one of those quiet, polite customers who always tipped well and read a book while drinking coffee.

I’d had a crush on him since I first saw him. But when he asked me out, I was shocked. He was gorgeous with his sharp cheekbones, warm hazel eyes, and quiet confidence.

I was just an average girl from a lower middle-class family, so I couldn’t believe he was interested in me. But he was, and from our first date walking on a local pier, it felt like we were meant to be.

Just a year later, we were standing at the altar in front of our closest friends. It was the happiest day of my life. Damian couldn’t stop smiling at me as I cried while reading my vows. We were about to start the next amazing chapter of our lives together.

But that dream ended abruptly. Before the reception, while taking some pictures with friends, Damian suddenly collapsed. At first, I thought he was joking. But when he didn’t get up, I froze.

People surrounded him, and someone called 911. The paramedics worked on him right there on the dance floor, but nothing they did worked.

They rushed him to the hospital, and I followed them in a daze. A doctor came out hours later, his face grim, and told me Damian didn’t make it. They said it was a heart attack. He was only 32 years old. How does a healthy man just die like that?

I could barely hold myself together the following days. It was all a blur until the funeral when his family showed up. I’d only met them once before, and that one meeting was enough.

Damian had warned me about them but hadn’t told me everything. His adoptive parents were snobbish and controlling. But one of Damian’s friends, Adam, confessed to me that they were also filthy rich.

“Damian didn’t tell you about his family’s wealth because he didn’t want it to affect how you saw him,” he said in a low voice.

I honestly never knew despite him telling me he had a successful business. Yet, it made sense. That also had to be why they didn’t approve of our relationship. I wasn’t from the “right” kind of family and Damian hadn’t invited them to our wedding.

But now they were here and spent the entire service throwing daggers at me with their eyes. I overheard his mother whisper to someone, “She was probably after his money and caused his death. Get our lawyer on the phone.”

I wanted to yell that I didn’t even know Damian had a lot of money, let alone want it. But what good would it do? They’d already made up their minds about me, and I just didn’t have the energy to fight anyone.

***

Three days after the funeral, I couldn’t take the grief and the emptiness anymore. My apartment felt suffocating as every corner held a memory of Damian.

The sadness was overwhelming and was giving me strange thoughts. On top of that, his family had started to call me. I never answered, but their voice messages were terrifying.

I needed to get away, so I threw some clothes into a small suitcase, grabbed my passport, and called a taxi. My plan wasn’t fully formed. I just knew I had to leave the city or country. Maybe I’d go to Mexico or Aruba. Anywhere that wasn’t here.

When the taxi pulled up, I climbed into the backseat and stared out the window. I barely noticed the driver as I settled into the leather and tried to breathe deeply.

“Fasten your seatbelt, please,” the driver suddenly said.

I froze. My chest tightened, and my heart started pounding. That voice was Damian’s. I whipped my head around and focused on the rearview mirror. Those eyes. Those unmistakable hazel eyes.

“Damian?” I croaked. “But…? How? How are you here? What?”

My words made no sense, but suddenly, he swerved the car away from the road toward the highway and parked on a quiet street. For a moment, he didn’t say anything.

I could see his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly like he was bracing himself for something. Then he turned around and looked right at me.

“I’m sorry, Paige,” he said softly without any preamble. “I know this is a lot to take in. I’ll explain everything. Please don’t hate me.”

I sat with wide eyes and an open mouth for the entirety of Damian’s explanation. It was too much to believe.

First, he told me about his family. They adopted him as a teenager and used his brilliance to expand their shady business empire, which was failing spectacularly before him. Eventually, he became the brains behind some of their most successful (and probably illegal) ventures.

For a while, he was just glad that he had proud parents and could contribute to the family who had given him a home when no one else would. But he grew tired of the illegal things.

Damian knew it was only a matter of time before they were caught, and he didn’t want to be left with nothing. So, he started a legit business and grew it into such a success that he decided not to work with his family anymore.

That’s when they turned on him. They wanted to control this venture, but Damian managed to put their threats off until he met me. Well, their shady business was also failing without him.

So, they threatened to ruin me and our lives if Damian didn’t give them a piece of the cake.

“I couldn’t let them touch you,” Damian said, rubbing his face. “They would’ve destroyed you to get to me. So I did the only thing I could think of. I made them believe I was dead.”

He went on to explain how he staged everything. There’s apparently a medication that can slow your heart rate so much that it mimics death. With the help of a professional fixer who knew the right people to pay off, he faked the collapse, the hospital pronouncement, and even the funeral.

When I asked how he escaped his grave, Damian laughed and said he wasn’t in the coffin at all. He had to be there for the viewing service, but the fixer got his people to take him out at some point without anyone noticing.

I didn’t know what to say when he finished. Was I in a George Clooney heist movie?

“I know I hurt you,” he said as his eyes watered. “But I did it for us. I couldn’t let them win.”

My mouth opened, but nothing came out, so we stayed in that cab on that quiet road for hours without speaking, except for a few whispered, “I’m sorry.”

Finally, when night fell, I asked him to take me home.

It was there that the dam unleashed. I spent hours yelling while he tried to justify his actions. “YOU LET ME THINK YOU WERE DEAD!” I cried out.

“I’m so sorry, baby!”

“DON’T CALL ME BABY!”

By the morning, I was all cried out, and my voice was hoarse, but I finally asked, “What now?” It wasn’t like we could go back to how things were. He was supposed to be dead. His family could easily see him here.

Damian then explained his idea for the future. By faking his death, he ensured that all his legitimately earned assets were transferred to me. His family couldn’t touch them now. All I needed to do now was to sell and split it with him.

But soon enough, he was moving abroad for good. I was shaking my head, still in disbelief, when he asked me something outrageous.

“I know that I hurt you terribly, but is there any way you’d want to come with me?” he asked.

I scoffed and remained quiet for a long time, but eventually, I answered.

“I can’t just pick up where we left off, even in another country,” I told him. “I’ll do whatever you need with the assets and the money, but you broke my heart. I don’t think I can trust you enough to start over. I need space.”

He nodded seriously. “I understand. Take all the space and time you need. I have to leave later today. But I’m not giving up on us, Paige. I’ll wait for as long as it takes.”

Before Damian left, he left me his contact information and promised to check in when he could.

For the next few weeks, I was furious. I didn’t respond to his texts. But I did start arranging to sell his business and consolidate assets. That brought some trouble with his parents, who wanted to claim what Damian had left me after his “death.”

I had to see them several times in the presence of lawyers, and they were scary people.

But there was nothing they could do legally to take anything from me, and my attorneys weren’t afraid of them. So, his parents were forced to back off, and I was free to sell what I needed.

When all was said and done, I started to see what Damian had done as the right choice. He was protecting himself and me from them. It was reckless and stupid but also selfless.

Weeks later, I realized something: I still loved him. Despite what he put me through, my heart hadn’t let go. I picked up my phone and dialed his number.

“Paige?” he answered, pleasantly surprised.

“Where are you?” I asked. “I’ll go there, but never do that to me again.”

And that was it. Now, I’m in another country where they speak an entirely different language, but the beach is 30 minutes away.

I had to give up everything, and it was worth it. Damian and I had another wedding and actually got to enjoy it this time. His parents won’t ever find us, and we’re living our best life.

‘James Bond’ and ‘Walking Tall’ actor Joe Don Baker dead at 89 https://simplymeblog.com/james-bond-and-walking-tall-actor-joe-don-baker-dead-at-89/ Fri, 16 May 2025 03:11:03 +0000 https://simplymeblog.com/?p=127598 ‘James Bond’ and ‘Walking Tall’ actor Joe Don Baker dead at 89

Hollywood has lost one of their own.

Actor Joe Don Baker died at age 89 on May 7, per his obituary. The star was perhaps best known for his role as Sheriff Buford Pusser in the 1973 action/thriller “Walking Tall.”

Baker first rose to fame in the 1972 western flick “Junior Bonner,” playing Curly, the younger brother of Steve McQueen’s character Junior Bonner, a middle-aged rodeo rider.

Baker also had a role in the James Bond films, first playing arms dealer Brad Whitaker in the 1987 movie “The Living Daylights” that starred Timothy Dalton as 007.

In 1995 and 1997, the actor was back — this time as CIA agent Jack Wade in “GoldenEye” and “Tomorrow Never Dies,” which were led by Pierce Brosnan as Bond.

“Born on February 12, 1936, Joe Don was a beacon of kindness and generosity. His intellectual curiosity made him a voracious reader, inspiring a great love of nature and animals, particularly cats,” his obituary reads. “Throughout his life, Joe Don touched many lives with his warmth and compassion, leaving an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him.”

Baker grew up in Groesbeck, Texas, where he “excelled in football and basketball,” per the obit.

“His athletic skills led him to secure a scholarship at North Texas State College, where he joined the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and graduated in 1958 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. In 1994 he received the Distinguished Alumni award from his College, now renamed University of North Texas.”

After joining the army, Baker moved to New York City and studied at the Actor’s Studio.

“Eventually, he moved to Los Angeles, where his acting career gradually took off,” the obituary continued. “Starting with small television parts, he eventually progressed to major acting roles as leading man and later in life as a character actor. During his long career, until his retirement in 2012 he performed in 57 movies.”

During his career, Baker won the Robert Altman Award at the Independent Spirit Awards for his role in the 2012 movie “Mud,” which also starred Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Sam Shepard and Sarah Paulson.

Baker was also nominated for best actor by the British Academy of Television for his role in the 1985 movie “Edge of Darkness,” and again for Best Supporting Actor in 1997 for the film “George Wallace.”

Baker was married from 1969 to 1980, but never had kids.

“Joe Don’s 11-year marriage produced no offspring. He is survived by relations in his native Groesbeck, who will forever cherish his memory. He is mourned by a small but very close circle of friends who will miss him eternally.”

The obituary concluded, “As we say goodbye to Joe Don, we hold onto the memories and the love he shared with us. Though he may no longer be with us in body, his spirit will always remain, a guiding light in the lives he touched. Rest in peace, Joe Don. You will be dearly missed but never forgotten.”

23-year-old develops rare condition called ‘dropped head syndrome’ https://simplymeblog.com/23-year-old-develops-rare-condition-called-dropped-head-syndrome/ Fri, 16 May 2025 02:59:54 +0000 https://simplymeblog.com/?p=127591 23-year-old develops rare condition called ‘dropped head syndrome’

Addiction can cause a variety of issues in people who suffer from it. The impact addiction has on your body depends on a lot of things, mainly on what your substance of choice is.

This 23-year-old man developed a rare condition.

Keep reading to know more.

A young man from Iran was seen having developed an alarming condition. His neck could no longer support his head. According to the medics, the man was an amphetamine user. The substance, also known as speed, would cause his chin to fall to his chest for prolonged periods of time which triggered a ‘fixed kyphotic neck position.’

He was left with an extreme bend in his neck after he regularly took a myriad of drugs, which included, among others, heroin, opium, and speed.

Doctors were trying to figure out whether the young man’s condition was due to his drug abuse.

They found out that before he began to abuse drugs, there were no indicators that he would develop such a condition.

Dr Majid Rezvan, co-author of the case study, said, “We discovered that drug abuse contributed to the uncommon development of severe complicated cervical kyphosis [excessive rounding of the upper back].’

“The drug does not have a direct effect on musculoskeletal changes,” he observed.

“Instead there is an indirect effect: when the patient uses the drug, they remain in a certain position for a long time, and over months this results in musculoskeletal changes that led to kyphoscoliosis,” he explained.

Dropped head syndrome is also known as floppy head syndrome and is sometimes seen in people with weak neck muscles.

And while it is usually associated with neuromuscular disorders like motor neuron disease, it can also be triggered by abuse of drugs.

The report showed that the man in Iran was struggling with symptoms which included chronic neck pain and paresthesia for the last 15 months.

He also felt tingling, numbness and pins and needles in his arms, and nothing seemed to be helping him.

The CT scan showed his spine was severely deformed. According to doctors, things seemed to improve when he was under general anaesthesia.

However, surgery was needed to take care of the deformed bone. He was able to walk by himself a day after the surgery with the help of a hard collar.

The man was expected to go to rehab to get in control of his a.d.d.i.c.t.i.o.n.
