What's it like to live in an apartment complex on the second floor with a crazy elderly neighbor below?

This week, I will be talking about the worst birthday gifts ever. What does it mean to receive crappy gifts? Also, what's better, a gift or ending up empty-handed? My list of pretty dumb and embracing things I got for my 18th birthday. I received probably the worst birthday gifts from Lenny, Kevin, and Leslie. My birthday gifts sucked.

Friendsgiving is about spending time with friends, not parents. Alan's friend Benny visited him from New York City for Thanksgiving. But what happens when you get uninvited guests like Jerry's mother? We have it all, folks, from a burnt turkey, uninvited guests, a turkey-crazed old lady, Lenny the sleepwalker, and a trash can on fire. Happy Friendsgiving from what's left of it.
