In this world, we tend to encounter a lot of things that could possibly frighten us. Things like spiders, heights, airplanes and the dark are only a few examples of fears that can affect many people, especially as children. While it is normal to afraid of somethings, certain fears fall into the category of bizarre. Because of this, this particular list is dedicated some of the most bizarre and interesting phobias humans can have. Before this list starts, I would like to say that this is no way meant to make fun of or belittle anyone with these fears, I just find them interesting to talk about.

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.

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.
