Then friday will be my second big dinner, a potluck housewarming for my firends with A bird Beer beer beer other stuff beer then saturday, dinner with my dad. Over the years, Thanksgiving has slowly spread itself out for me from one day to three. |

i have also had a special request for my mom's homemade baked macaroni and cheese, so i will make that as well. artery clogging fiesta! i am going to two houses, one before four pm and one from four pm on. last year, i ate so much that i got a headache. |
|
i gotta figure something out for desert....im not a huge desert fan...so it will most liekyl be something simple. it kinda sucks, as we had plans with angry sam and his brother to have dinner with some friends and their families....about 20 or so people, annual thing...and well there is an impending death so they had to call it off....which means we had 3 days to put something together... |
When I was dating an American (he came to live here after we met), I kept offering to cook Thanksgiving dinner, but he always went home for it. It's a shame, because I do like an opportunity to get my hand up a turkey's bum. |

staying with doesn't understand what a vegan is, I'll be eating my vegetable sushi, and some sweet potatoes. I don't really like Thanksgiving anyway. food. is. fuel. |
i just wanna wish everyone a happy thanksgiving. thanksgiving is probably the only holiday i can get behind without feeling like a chump. not like i r e a l l y get into it or anything, just that i'm at peace with the concept. i hope you all have a good one. |
You're a beautiful person, I don't care what anyone says about your nasty nose-picking habit. |

if i ever decide to break the diet, the first thing i want...& i know it sounds kinda weird...is a stack of blueberry pancakes dripping w/ syrup. followed by lunch at a chinese buffet. dinner at a mexican joint. that's the stuff i miss the most. & stuffing, of course. |

As you didn't answer the door,I took the liberty of leaving the pancreas under the wood pile,where you keep your spare key,which I couldn't find,because it was still dark out.Without having a blood sample,to get an exact X-match,I went ahead and brought a generic,Wal-Mart pancreas,the lable said it was suitable for all,with a minor inclusion that it was not FDA approved for those of unspecified origin.So I think it will do nicely for you.Hope it helps you enjoy the yummies you're preparing. My best to Pilate,and his gang,sans Violet.Hope they're holding up without her. Happy Big Bird Day to all! |
the gang's all here, watching bad movies & having a cozy warm fuzzy good time. it's really cool, i think. all of us here are in some way social outcasts who don't have very many family connections. but we've made our own little family. it's a good thing. if i'm thankful for anything, it's for the ability for lost souls & random misfits to find each other. |
Thankfulness item: the internet. as dumb as it may sound, the people I consider my family are spread out over 6 states and Ecuador; and I've had contact with almost all of them today. Why not phone? not a clue. But it's now 1:44 in the morning after, so I guess being thankful is back out of style? damn. I was just getting into it. |
j, scoop that vomit up and send it back to ma in a tupperware container. tell her it's leftovers. |
|
vomit up and send it back to ma..." Excellent. |
|
|
|
Yes, they do. Although I think you may enter a small legal battle if you try and shoot your mum. |
|
the food got everyone drunk, and the wine got everyone buzzed. thats the way we like it. i was thankful i had money to buy the food that made goodness in everyone's belly, Im thankful i have a kooky hottie for a wife who likes to wear wigs, and drink chinese wine.. |

It was alot harder for me to break ties with my fiancee than with my mother. The girl was someone I'd chosen to be with, who ended up treating me like shit. If you get married, and you "mean it," you're devoting yourself to being with this one person for ever, they become family. And seeing a commitment of that seriousness deteriorate. agh. It's just as hard. At least, I would imagine. but I don't know. |

She is not your responsibility. You are. So, if you can take care of yourself, fully and well, then you have room to make a list of the other people and things you want to take care of. But your support of, or responsibility for, other causes, be they people, crusades, whatever, WILL NOT WORK if you aren't taking care of yourself first. You are the basis and the base for everything you do. So if you can't deal with her, while still taking care of yourself, then the solution, hard as it may be, is DON'T deal with her. Love and best wishes. keep us posted? |

I stuffed a couple a turkeys over the holiday. |
