5 Things To Do While Everyone Else Kisses At Midnight
The Huffington Post

The countdown is on and there's a minute until midnight.

Sure, you're one of the only people at the party that didn't come with someone. And sure, no one asked you ahead of time to be their midnight kiss. Plus, you're just too socially awkward to approach someone at the last second and plant one on them although it could be the start of something new (Cue Troy and Gabriella).

But, you do not have to sulk in your kissless-ness (I better trademark that). Instead, occupy your New Year's midnight time by:

1. Chugging your beer or finishing your glass of wine and then pouring another.

And for you non-drinkers, claim the rest of the sparkling grape just for yourself and just have at it.

2. Calling your mom.

"Mom, everyone's kissing and I'm scared."

3. Howling at the moon.

This may only be an acceptable option for the drinkers...

4. Breaking out the ol' pots and pans.

Now this party is a banger...haha, get it? Bang..er.....ha

5. Three words. PARTY. BLOWER. THINGS.

Is there a technical name for those things? Noise-maker blowers? Party blowy fun things? I don't need to pick a name for it, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.

For all you singles out there, stay strong this holiday season. And remember, you may not be kissing someone at midnight, but you spent your New Year's midnight having much more fun. I'll be rooting for you!

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me

This one's for you, Spock.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe.
