BOOOO... Nothing is going to change until we stop giving them our money. If you want to watch them, I propose you do it on the road, where they can't profit from it.

do what i say cause i said it.

You go to Waco every year, and don't know what he's talking about? Seriously?

that whole thing was forever ago, only you old kooks remember that kind of stuff. it took me a few minutes but i got what Biff was saying but i was more amazed he actually referenced something like that.

my mom got a new house last month, so my family is probably going there. my nephew has kids with 2 different women who hate each other. and now the current one doesn't like me.

should be fun.


Thanksgiving plans - Queenie - 11-19-2008

I will be cooking for my family at my father's this year. My mother used to cook every year, but she passed away in January, 2004. I tried to step in her shoes (big shoes) that year, but my brother was being such a dick, I decided it wasn't worth it. But I did try again a couple of years ago, and it turned out better, but not optimum. My brothers don't usually come to my Dad's anymore on Thanksgiving Day, but catch him on the weekend after. We'll probably watch the Titans beat the Lions and end with a picking session (me, my father, and one of my sons play guitar). I'm sure Plungee and I will work in a few games of pong. I am looking forward to it.

Hey, speaking of Thanksgiving - for anyone cooking this year....the best tip I've EVER gotten regarding Thanksgiving dinner is to brine your turkey beforehand. Get a big clean bucket, preferably one that is your "Turkey Bucket" and nothing else, and fill it with cold water, and your choice of herbs/spices, and a good amount of salt. (Or google "brine recipes" and take your pick.) Let it sit in the cold water for about 24 hours before you cook the turkey. The result will be the juiciest, most delicious turkey you've ever had.

Going to the in-laws, they aren't as crazy as my side of the family.

So Janet Reno didn't kill them all afterall....

That's what came into my mind right away, too.

We Ain't Comin Out.....I'm not old, and I still remember (and caught the reference)

Oh, and to answer Biff...we rent a school Gym every year, and there's a blind auction, and raffles....it's a fantastic time.


Thanksgiving plans - Biff - 11-19-2008

So basically Becky failed, right?

I did this last year. Turned out great. There are good recipes on foodnetwork.com. Alton Brown specifically.

Apparently that means your old.


Thanksgiving plans - vsangelchick - 11-19-2008

Guess I'm old too.....eh...I"m used to it, the hubby likes to callme old, even though I've only got a month on him.


Thanksgiving plans - Mark the Valet - 11-19-2008

I'm heading up to Oregon to see my dad's side of the family.
They're also the best cooks when it comes to holidays.


Thanksgiving plans - Queenie - 11-19-2008

Where in Oregon Mark? I have family in Gresham. I also have family in Ridgefield, WA (right over the line)


Thanksgiving plans - Mark the Valet - 11-19-2008

I'll be in the Coos Bay area. Here's a map to show you where in relation I'll be from where your family is.

motherEff you guys. it ain't no OKC bombing, who the Eff is talking about Koresh as like it's some big deal and everybody knows about it. go ask a dude on the street about Koresh and tell me just how befuddled his face gets.

I think you'd be surprised, Becky.

But ask about Waco, Texas, and I bet at least 75% remember "something about a compound and a stand-off."

no, just Janet Reno and David Koresh.

sidenote: David Koresh is a perfect topic for my upcoming psych paper so thanks y'all for the reminder of his crazy. i might actually do my own suggestion and take to the streets for a survey.

In massive fashion.


Thanksgiving plans - fetusfacedwindbag - 11-20-2008

For the first time in seven years, my thanksgiving isn't going to be so hectic. It'll be much more sad this year, but I guess I'll be able to relax and enjoy things. My parents are divorced, so I've always had two thanksgivings to go to. Then I had a girlfriend/ fiancee for seven years. So between the two of us, we went to at least three thanksgivings together (11:00, 2:00 and 5:00....a LOT of eating). This year my mom will be out of town, and my relationship ended....soooo.... I've got one to go to with my grandparents, but my grandmother was diagnosed with alzheimers this year and doesn't remember much.

You're bringing the kids? Do they get to help or just sit in a corner and be bored?
