Sometimes your friends are your only family.

Friendsgiving

Having a Friendsgiving is becoming more and more popular recently for those who typically don't have a very good home life with their family, or if they know people with no good home life. It is something that can truly mean a lot to someone who basically has nowhere to go during this time that you're supposed to spend with your families.

If you are one of those people that are opening your home to others during the times of Thanksgiving or any other holiday for that matter; you truly are a wonderful person and it does mean a lot to a lot of people that you are even willing to do so. I know it's not a traditional setting to do so, as many Friendsgiving's don't have a turkey, but it's showing that despite our traditions we are being wonderful for all those that need it. Sincerely from the bottom of my heart and many others, thank you and have a wonderful thanksgiving.

If you are one of those people that have to attend a Friendsgiving or are not going anywhere for the holiday's because of family issues, know that you are not alone and that there is someone that always cares about you. You may not always be able to see just what they mean to you, or what it is that they are doing, but they love you for the person you are.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
