So, here's what happened
"Maybe I shouldn't have done it, and honestly I can not even say why I did. Perhaps it was too much rum and eggnog, maybe the multiple glasses of wine or the numerous shots of tequila, really it could have been anything. However, I wouldn't have done it, had I known their dog Farrah Pawcett, I swear that is what they named her, was going to jump on me. Because apparently I’m allergic to this four legged wonder, which caused me to sneeze violently, and unfortunetly, directly into Mrs. Krantz's face who WAY over reacted by throwing her hands up, causing her drink to fly in the air landing on Reverend Wilson, who tried to avoid the forty proof of Christmas liquid cheer, and lets be honest it was not her first glass of the night if you know what I'm saying. Anyways, the good reverend tried spinning away which failed horribly, because lets just say he indulged in more than his fair share of sacramental wine in the celebration of little baby Jesus. His flaying arms batted the tray of Hors d'oeuvres, carried by the Litchens thirteen-year-old daughter, bless the young thing she just wanted to help her parents with the party. Anyway, a mini quiche Florentine flew right across the room and....I shit you not, directly into the open mouth of Bob Knaffle. Who’s mouth is always open because he feels compelled to share his opinion on everything. Suddenly he became more dramatic than need be, but that's just my opinion. Well, Bob started running around beating on his chest trying to dislodge a half-baked egg mixture from his throat. Its Pastry Bob, it would have dissolved....But oh no, old Bob in his panic haste ran directly into Gretchen Pile, who was part of a choir dressed up in authentic eighteenth-century garb, which included holding real candles. Who does that now a-days? Although it was a nice touch as it did add to the Christmas atmosphere."

When My Grandma Went Viral
I always thought my grandma was a pretty typical old lady. She baked cookies, knitted sweaters for all the grandkids, and kept an absurd number of butterscotch candies in her purse “just in case.” But everything changed the day Grandma discovered TikTok. It all started innocently enough. My cousin Bella thought it would be “cute” to show Grandma how to make short videos. “You’ll love it, Nana,” Bella said. “It’s just like those funny cat videos you always forward us—only better.” Grandma took the phone, squinted at the screen, and muttered, “So, this is what the kids are doing instead of getting married these days?” That’s where we should have stopped.

3 Annoying Design Flaws in Household Items
That space between the faucets and the wall I don’t know who invented the modern sink and the hardware that goes with it, but I do know that whomever it was never once thought about the person who would be cleaning their bathroom or kitchen. The space between the back of the faucet and the wall is so tiny a sponge can barely fit in there sideways, let alone in a manner that will actually clean the space. I can certainly only get a sponge in there edgewise, and even that is a challenge. The frustration I feel when I’m trying to clean a sink is something I’ve had to learn to walk away from. If I didn’t, someone would find me hours later, scrubbing until the sponge falls apart, tears running down my face. You know why?

One New Voicemail
“Oh, Jeff…I love you, too…but…your credit score is low, your income is modest, your cholesterol is elevated and your sperm count is laughable. You are genetically predisposed to a number of lethal diseases, and your relationship with your family is acrimonious at best. You hate your job and therefore do it with grudging spite.
