3 Links Celebrating the Best Kind of Ships

“What are yachts and speed boats, Alex.”
“Judges?  Ooooo, so close, but sorry… we were looking friend-ships.”

Yes, yachts and speed boats are pretty badass, but can they get you out of a jam?

That is why I would like to take my hat off to all of you phenomenal friends out there who are always there to help a friend enjoy the journey.  Be it jumping on a grenade so they can get laid, duct taping 40’s to their hands until every ounce of malt liquor is consumed, or simply listening to them vent their frustration when it feels as if all hope in their world is lost.  The fun and crazy times are usually the most memorable, but it’s the friends that are by your side when times get tough that are the ones worth hanging on to.

Here’s what’s packed into The Bindle this week:

• A User’s Guide to Fabulous Friendships

A User’s Guide to Fabulous Friendships

We all learned the basics of friendship in kindergarten; somewhere after recess but before nap time.  Yet with how hectic life has become, we often forget about the little things that really make a friendship thrive.  Kelly Rigby provides some great tips to jog your memory about what it takes to be a great friend.

Does Long Distance Friendship Work?

Goodbyes are never easy.  With job opportunities all over the country, and even abroad, I find myself saying goodbye to more friends than I would like.  Just because there are miles between you and a great friend doesn’t mean you have to call it quits.  This article discusses some of the key elements needed for the survival of a long distance friendship.

Hey Bea Arthur, Thank You For Being a Friend

I received an email from my super awesome friend Alysen a few months ago in which she typed out the entire Golden Girls theme song, “Thank you for being a friend, travel down the road and back again, your heart is true, you’re a pal and a confident…”  It brought a huge smile to my face.  With that said, I wanted to share with you that beloved 80’s theme song in hope that it will do the same for you.  Don’t be ashamed to share this with a friend… stay golden Blanche.
