Hey everyone! A few of you might know I’m one of two admins on the Lazy Town Memes page on Facebook.

Stefan Karl, who plays Robbie Rotten, has recently been diagnosed with cancer and had surgery for it on the 4th. If you can’t recall who that guy, let me refresh your memory.

Robbie Rotten is from the 2001 show Lazy Town.

You might also remember him from the MMMM MMM CREAMY video or You are a Pirate. And lately because of our Lazy Town page he’s become a meme again.

An official GoFundMe has been created  (https://www.gofundme.com/2tm9tqk) to help support Stefan and his family as he recovers. Although Stefan is an actor and Lazy Town is a highly successful show hes not a millionaire and still must work like you and I.Because of his surgery he will be unable to work for possibly a little bit more over a year.

Any amount you donate will be very appreciated by Stefan, his friends and family, and fans of the show.

Stefan is a real person with real feelings and a life, I know we like to joke around on this page but he needs your help. If you donate I do remind you to be respectful.

PSA for those on the Coast: BE SAFE, and BE SMART! 

This one is going to be a gnarly one.  It’s not expected to make landfall, but ride the coast all the way up. This means it probably won’t reduce in strength like most storms do.  Mother Nature is a terrifying force and sometimes we cannot stand against her. 

If you are in Evacuation Zones please heed warnings and the advice of Emergency Responders. If demanded to evacuate, please comply.  Things can be replaced, you can’t.

The National Guard has been mobilized, but not evacuating when you should puts their lives at risk as well as yours. 

To those outside the danger zones, but still in the path- Hunker down.  Make sure you have: 

Dry Food

Candles

Flashlights

Batteries

window/door seals

pull in all outside decor/furniture not cemented down (they’ll become projectiles). 

Your Bathtub filled with water in case they shut off the city water

FIrst Aid supplies, benedryl, epipen, bandages, antiseptic, etc

Duct Tape (You never know what this stuff is good for)

emergency radio

If you’re looking for ways to help Haiti out, check out our earlier post, and also add Sow a Seed to that list. They focus on orphans in the Caribbean, and they’re currently directing their efforts to hurricane relief.  

1. Complain all the time (It will make you miserable and drive your friends away.)

2. Bury your head in the sand and deny that you have problems (Avoidance won’t make your problems disappear!)

3. Constantly compare yourself with others (You’ll always feel inferior if you compare your weaknesses to others’ strengths.)

4. Allow yourself to continually worry about the future. (Most “what ifs” never actually happen.)

5. Keep hanging out with people who put you down (That will totally destroy your self-esteem).

6. Keep on doing things you dislike or hate. (You only live once – and we each have different gifts – so it’s crucial that you try to invest in what you love.)

7. Get involved, and stay, in relationships that are bad for you, and which make you unhappy. (You’ll end up hating and devaluing yourself, and convincing yourself that you can’t have more than that.)

8. Try to change others instead of yourself (We can’t change others – we can only influence them; but we do have the power to change ourselves.)

9. Be a people pleaser. (We can’t make others happy all the time. Also, when you give up your power you feel worthless inside.)
