Last year I was traveling in a pretty remote area of Mexico known for its oysters. Read horror stories on the pure hell that is Hep A. Really nasty. Promised myself I would remember them and resist the seductive temptation. Could not. I caved in and slurped away and got lucky. But I did learn how nasty that virus is. God speed on the recovery.Quote:

I DESTROYED their toilet. It was beyond clogged...Definitely set some sort of record.
She couldn't find the plunger so we had to ask them for it. Slightly awkward.
Came down with mono about two weeks ago. Yeah yeah, I've heard all the jokes already about questionable women. This shit's pretty much sucking the life out of me. Worst turkey day ever with the fever, headaches, and sore throat. Hoping to pull through soon as I am not enjoying this at all.
1984 I had an awesome Thanksgiving on Long Island with my gf at her family's house, which included a bj before dinner in a powder room about 20 feet from the kitchen (but around a corner) where everyone was hanging out. The next day Doug Flutie threw the Hail Mary, I screamed and yelled, won some money and drank her dad's good booze. The next day we took her Dad's canary yellow Mercedes 300D turbo diesel into the city and made every single light from 120th St. down to the Battery. We weren't going to the Battery but we had to keep riding the wave. Good weekend.
We need an update from MMP
He's still in the garage, his phone died, but the charger's in the house.Quote:

I'm an ICU nurse and we had a potluck with turkey and all the fixins and it was a pretty good night on the unit. We had tons of food so we invited the family members and the couple armed guards for the prisoner on the unit to partake as well.
I did come away with a story of the worst thanksgiving ever though. Somewhere in SE Wyoming, a 21 year old girl with a severe wheat allergy accidentally got served something with wheat in it. She went into full on anaphylactic shock and the local ER was pretty overwhelmed. They intubated her but she threw up and aspirated in the process. Thankfully she got an Epi pen on the way or it could have been worse. She was really unstable in the ER over there when they called us and our attending told them to get her on a continuous Epinephrine drip right away. After that she was stable enough to fly but the heli hit weather and had to turn around so they could put her on a fixed wing. Her family ended up beating her here. Anyway, I think she's gonna be OK but she'll be intubated for a while due to the aspiration. Worst thanksgiving ever right? The whole thing sure made me thankful for my health and my coworkers who helped make the best of the evening though.
marriage, makes ya hangout with people on holidays that in no way you would if you were single.
um, you don't think you should be thankful for what you have?Quote:

Don't we already hate Columbus day for that?
Oh yeah my bad. :wink:
Total dick move.Quote:

She needs to be reminded that she is an idiot and we are smart.Quote:

Not actually about thanksgiving but two good songs about family get-togethers--
I once lit a fart on fire in front of my whole family after a thanksgiving meal. My uncle(passed away last week) might have soiled his drawers from laughter along with the rest of my family. He was always my shock barometer since he had spent twenty years in the military and had been in two wars seeing all kinds of crazy shit in his life. If I made him gasp for air it was mission accomplished.
Just here to let you know the potatoes won't be vegan this year...just mandolined the tip of my finger into the bowl
Owww!
how big a piece did you lose?
Yeah, this Thanksgiving is gonna be rough. We're just gonna go to a hot spring resort thing. Get drunk in a hot tub.
"Just the tip"
[its really just a tiny potato]
