Things are made with a purpose — they have labels to avoid mix-ups, that ready-to-drink juice box has a special spot to be poked with a straw, there are written statements that make a point, and fixable items, so you don’t always have to buy new ones when they break. Yet somehow some people disregard all of these things and prefer to do things in a more roundabout way. They make you question their motives in your head, but to them it’s just another way to do something.
1. Who needs the holes in the roll when you can make your own?

2. Since the tea and coffee got mixed up, let’s just change the labels.

3. Not so secret after all.

4. Irony is when a magazine about the dangers of plastic is wrapped in plastic.

5. Brands are just labels, right?

6. Turns out the sample is the actual size despite the disclaimer.

7. Who knew that a glue stick and clothes pins belong in the cutlery drawer?
8. Because cutting the carpet is easier than cutting the door.

9. Instead of getting a pre-cut piece, someone scooped a piece near the edge.

10. This engraver went the extra mile and engraved the instructions.

11. A hospital was turned into a crime scene.

12. Makes you wonder what the purpose of the label is.

13. Why poke with the straw when you can turn it into a makeshift cup?

14. Hey, whatever works…

15. It’s not practical, but the phone colors pop.

16. Why use the top when you can open it on the side?

17. Solar energy plates being shaded from the sun.

18. Setting a new fashion trend.

19. Fixing a broken clock by placing a new one on top

Family fostered a 12-year-old boy that nobody wants – But soon they realized who he really is
According to recent data presented by the Children’s Bureau, the number of children in foster care nationwide is approximately 424,000. In Tennessee only, there are slightly less than 8,000 children who are waiting to be reunited with their families or find a forever home with people who would love them unconditionally. The sad reality is that the number of foster families in this state is less than 4,000.
Up until recently, one of those kids who found themselves in the system was 12-year-old Andrew from Nashville. This lovely boy spent half his life going from one family to another. However, that changed when he was welcomed in by a special foster family; the Gills.
Kevin and Dominique Gill have a son on their own, Joc, who made very good friends with Andrew the moment they first met. The boys just love hanging out together. They spend their time playing games, taking walks, and doing a bunch of fun stuff. Realizing how close the boys became, Kevin and Dominique decided to let them be best friends forever by filing adoption papers.
Andrew had no idea he was about to become an official member of the Gill family. One day, as he was taking a walk at the park with Molly Parker, an employee at the Youth Villages, he was met with the news that his foster parents are adopting him.
“I just turned around the corner and saw everybody,” Andrew said. “They asked ‘will you?’ and I said ‘yeah!’”
Besides being best friends, these boys now became brothers. Isn’t that the most beautiful thing ever?
