I like ghosts, mostly Casper the friendly ghost. What I don't like are the ghosts who are still living just not living in your world anymore. You know, the real-life humans who poof into thin air. Being ghosted sucks, I believe all of us have experienced being ghosted in one way or another. Let's take a look at this horror story.

It's 8 pm and you're texting your crush, eyes glued to your phone. You have this idea in your head that you can make him fall in love with you over a few words, smokies, and witty responses.

It's 8:34 pm and you keep re-reading his last message he sent, you reply, then wait... and wait... still waiting. Hours go by and no reply. You think of logical reasons, maybe he's busy, maybe he's doing homework, maybe he's sleeping... still waiting.

The next morning, no reply, the next day no reply, the next week no reply. Ghosted.

If this has been you, it's OK, it happens, but here are some survival tips for this anti-ghost hunting:

1. He disappeared, so do you.

2. Text your friends instead of dwelling.

3. Dance it OUT.

4. Scream if you need to.

5. Delete his number.

6. Now... do YOU boo.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
