2) The Worst Thanksgiving dish you ever had

The worst thanksgiving dish i’ve ever had, had to have been at my best friends house.

It was last year and my first ever actual, big thanksgiving dinner and there were a bunch of traditional dishes.

The worst was the yam thing that was made. I think its called candied yams or something but either it was made horribly or its just disgusting in general.

However that night was actually a really great night. Despite the fact that the food took forever to make because the food was started late so you had like 20 angry, frustrated, hungry and kinda drunk people in a living room.

But other than that it was unbelievable! One of her cousins just kept drinking and got very drunk and dropped his 7 year old cousin( which i know sounds horrible but it was actually hysterical. And he kept hitting on me (it wasn't in a disgusting typical drunk way but all of his pick up lines where really cute and innocent but it might’ve just been the fact that he's 2 years younger than me.)

And then we all went shopping at like 3 am because of black friday and that was a fun mess since we all survived.

1) What Can Happen in a Second?

Everything.

Everything can happen in a second.

Your entire life can change from one second to the next.

You could meet the love of your life, you could lose a friend, someone you love could die, you could gain a new friend.

You could realize exactly what you’ve been doing wrong (or right) in your life and decide to change it or keep doing it anyway.

You could leave everything behind or hold it tighter.

You could find peace within yourself or set yourself on a path of destruction.

or you could do absolutely nothing at all.

but whatever it is that you decide to do in that second and the next,

make it count (for you of course. don't give a shit about anyone else.)

Self defence sprays that are legal to carry and use in the United Kingdom

I’ve seen a lot of people (mostly women, for reasons which may be obvious) speaking about being worried when going out, be it alone or even with friends, both in the day and at night. I know that a lot of female friends of mine carry around a can of antiperspirant or a pot of pepper to use if they’re ever attacked. What I know a lot of people don’t realise is that there are products out there which work in a violent situation and help in catching the assailant for the best part of a week afterwards.

Known as ‘criminal identifiers’, these sprays are brightly coloured dyes which can be sprayed in the face of an attacker. Unlike things such as CS or Pepper sprays, criminal identifier sprays are legal in the UK.

There’s a few available on the market, with farbgel and Mace’s Stoppared being the mostly highly recommended.

What these sprays do is release a sticky, brightly coloured dye. It’s difficult to wipe away and stains the skin a bright red colour. No matter how hard an attacker might try to remove it from their skin and clothing, the staining typically lasts for around a week and doesn’t even start to fade until after a few days have passed.

Unlike CS and Pepper sprays (which, again, aren’t legal in the UK) criminal identifier sprays don’t cause irritation or pain to an attacker. Instead, they expand and clog up the area sprayed with a kind of sticky foam that’s difficult to wipe away. It should give you enough time to escape and report someone whose face resembles a baboon’s arse to the police.

Each can of the sprays costs around £10 each, though it may be cheaper when buying multiple canisters and if you shop around.
