Go and Message your FRIENDS, it matters.....
Calling, texting or emailing a friend just to say “hello” might seem like an insignificant gesture — a chore, even, that isn’t worth the effort. Or maybe you worry an unexpected check-in wouldn’t be welcome, as busy as we all tend to be.

Family of Blue skin color people
Two centuries ago in the year 1820, a man named Martin Fugate who was a french orphan, settled in the troublesome Creek of Eastern Kentucky. For settling here, his reason was settling after marriage, like another human being on this planet. But there was a slight twist in the story. Fugate wasn’t like the other humans present on the planet. He had a rare genetic condition due to which his skin color was striking indigo blue. Despite his condition, Fugate got a women whose name was Elizabeth Smith. It is said that Elizabeth Smith was described as ‘Being as pale as the mountain laurel that blooms every spring around the creek hollows.’ Fugate and Elizabeth got married but surprisingly they didn’t know that both of them have a gene of Recessive Methamoglobinemia because of which their skin color s pale or blue. After marriage, Fugate and Elizabeth had 7 kids out of which the skin color of 4 of them was blue. The localities around them started calling them ‘Blue Fugates.’ Now the locality in which the blue Fugates were staying, was very rural and isolated area where even basic infrastructure was lacking like, even proper roads were not available. Now from this, you can guess that these localities were so backward in terms of infrastructure and thinking, both. And in between this backwardness, if you see a blue family, then it’s over. There were very less families staying in their locality. And even from those few families, some were ELIZABETH’S RELATIVES. And for these families to see a blue family everyday, was very weird and abnormal. And fr this reason, they started ignoring and isolating the Fugates family.
