Thanksgiving 2008.
My 86YO dad shows up at our house just as we are leaving for a party. He was was supposed to be at the house he shared with his ladyfriend - 200 miles away.
Me: Hi. Didn't expect to see you. Everything OK?
Dad: "Well we had a little set-to last night. Gary (GF's adult son) came over. He got real mouthy and refused to shut up, so I threw him out of the house"
Me: Define "threw him out out of the house"
Dad: "I threw him out the front door into the snow. Once you get a good grip on their belt and collar, they go just about anywhere you want."
Me: How did that go over?
Dad: "Well, Ellie wasn't too happy but she didn't to let him back in either. Then she got real bitchy this morning so here I am."
Me: OK. We are on our way to a party. Want to join us?
Dad: Nah. I called Flo (another ladyfriend) on the way here. Havin dinner there tonight then heading to the beach for a few nights with her.
Me: OK give her my best.
That was the last time I saw him...
This is my 8th thxgvng alone - i think i'll make it my last

I think my friends who were hosting are thankful.
Anytime dinner is two hours late. It’s exhausting. TG dinner is supposed to be early. Pushing it after 6 is blowing it.

Plan better. And if you're not cooking, then there's no room to talk.Quote:

This year we ate the pie in the afternoon, rather than wait until after dinner when we're all stuffed. And I didn't crack a beer until 4:30, that helps.
Never had a bad Thanksgiving that I can recall. Guess I should be thankful for that.
I cooked. Nailed it. Done at 4:30.Quote:

My point is you get invited to TG at 4:30 arrive 3:30 and they don’t serve dinner till 6:30-7.
Your not really alone because we are ALL HEREQuote:

Think about volunteering. You help others and you help yourself.
Start looking into volunteering for Christmas.
There are so many people out there who really need a little boost. Being a small part of a group trying to brighten someones day goes a very long way.
solo by choice. opted out, on purpose. as much as I like the hostess, she's a trump supporter and I was afraid I'd voice my disgust after a few cocktails. I could've driven 100 miles to my best friends place, my surrogate family, but NAH, done that plenny in the past. more stoked to get on the snow this weekend. it's just a turkey. I've had so many family turkey days with all the relatives in the past, I'm kinda over it.Quote:

Is America in more danger of becoming China's 24th province ?
No dinner for me. In ER for 12 hours. This is here to remind myself next year to be extra thankful.
What? You cannot just say 12 hours in ER!! there has to be a story. Pic's or it did not happen, and all that guff.Quote:

Dude, are you (and family) ok? It could be worse, you could be stuck with a timesha--. Oh, wait.Quote:

Especially in winter. And the cost is about equal once you factor in at least two nights in a hotel and a bunch of hours drinking Picaroons if I go to Fredricton. Twice. The bright side is she that she made friends with some other kids that live too far away as well. So they hole up and it's them against the world.Quote:

1995 - After a two year battle with cancer, my sister and said Goodbye to our mom and laughed for the last time with her on Thanksgiving night. My mom went to sleep and died two days later.
Uhh, no. The fact that it could have been worse doesn't make it a good day. The heli crew that got turned around by bad weather didn't have such a great Thanksgiving. Definitely strong work by the ER.Quote:

Ya, I know. :D I just had to be THAT guy. 8) So remember that next time you try to make any dual citizenship jokes. :PQuote:
