Before someone makes an “ash out of yourself” joke? Not a chance! 
Ah, c’mon -------- ya hadda know one of us was going to do it!
No confusion here. Down south here there’s no law sayin’ you can’t eat it more than once a year. I probably do 6 birds a year. Which adds up to a lot of days with turkey in them.
I’d hope similar freedoms (under a different name no doubt) extend north of that pesky border. If not, stop by here & we’ll feed ya plenty more turkey in just a couple days.
Our day was nice. Went for a long walk in the surf, saw lots of people enjoying their vacation, and mostly chilled. Wife is slightly ill and unambitious, so dinner was homemade Indian leftovers: a lentil-centric spicy stew over brown basmati. Washed down later with a fine NZ Chard.
True, but the Ramans do everything in threes… (old SF geek quote)
swampy, I’ve thought about making my own plans too, my brother has my instructions in my will, but why put them through that when I can do it now, being of sound mind (well, fairly sound) and body (well, flabby body).
ruble, I have never been called for jury duty in my 64 years on the planet, although I’ve always registered to vote where I live. One of these days I’ll get to be bored out of my mind too.
FCM, that’s OK, I’ll be glad to scarf up any bacon you don’t want.
We can have turkey whenever we like in Canada. Though on non-special occasions, my family more often gets just the turkey boob, which I like as much as the whole bird.
Dang Metal Mouse I get a notice on average every year. Sometimes two in a year. County and Federal. In Floridah the roll is taken from the DMV. I hope you did not jinx yourself.
Blurf. Almost time for Sleeptown.
Glad you liked it, Sticky. Ummm, which site, though. I don’t remember anymore.
It’s one of the greatest things evah!!! Iffn you dropped a slice of apple pie ala mode on your plate between the turkey & the stuffing you’d get funny looks; this is just as sweet as dessert plus you get credit for eating a vegetable so you still get to eat dessert, too. [Charlie Sheen] Winning! [/CS]
Besides, you can replace one who will be leaving. :mad:
Reading; what intelligent people do. :dubious:
That’s using their noodle.
flyboy, how different is this week for you when you’re ‘on’ the schedule. I know it’s more crowded in the back but there aren’t any extra seats on your side of that locked door.
Ruble, sorry the dinner plans got changed, prehaps you can be cheered up a bit with a Black Firday sale! (Buy an extra, I’ll join you & pay you back)
Tomorrow is P-day. Pick-up/Purchace the proteins (turkey, turkey andouille & chorizo snausages, some salmon, some Provolone. Prepare (brine) the turkey & then the biiig one…Pack. This year looks to be heavy pack; AKA, everything but the kitchen sink. I still gotta deal w/ printing I/O & luggage tags, hopefully before I go to bed tonight.
I think for now I’d get scrubbed from an awful lot of jury selection for various reasons, including the disability. I always thought it would be interesting.
I worked. State won the college hockey game. Life is good.
How do you know
A.I. think I remember that android rebellion.
I want a Viking funeral, with kegs. With my friends and family, free beer, fire, and corpse desecration will insure a packed service.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 51 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 74 and a chance of rain/tstorms/apocalypse this afternoon. We shall see. Today is laundry day and I shall go to the sto’ to pick up a few essentials cause ain’t no way I shall deal with goin’ to the sto’ the day before TDay. TWPTB say that the high on Thursday will be 58 with a chance of rain. No worries cause we’ll all be inside stuffin’ our faces. 
The General will go without his supper tonight.
Ruble actually I am more upset at the lack of ash jokes and puns.
Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then I suppose I should purtify if I am to go about the public.
Happy Tuesday Y’all!
My baby girl is home!! I called her when I was tending to the dog, and they were on the bridge from Dahlgren, so I delayed my departure to see them. They’ll be taking their car into the shop to get the belt replaced and this evening, we’re going to dinner to meet his family.
Oh, and Mel let me down. I was asleep around 9 and awake at 2:44. dammit. I did eventually fall back to sleep, but it wasn’t nearly enough. I’s tahred…
**kopek **- you’d be welcome at my family’s food orgy, but it’s probably a lot farther than you want to drive. Hope something works out for you.
Onward! Happy Tuesday!!
All your friends & a packed service? Wow! They still have old-fashioned Clark Kent-style phone booths in NC; who knew? 
Makes almost no difference to us. It’s far more likely than normal we’ll have boarding problems that lead to delays and flight attendant vs. gate agent angst and conflict, but that’s about it. I have to do more sympathy and defusing upsetness but that’s about it.
Most carriers run a few percent heavier schedule in/around the holidays vs. earlier in the month, which takes more workers. Meanwhile darn near everyone wants those dates off. As a result, there’s disproportionate gruntlement about “Damn I have to work the holiday again; why can’t the junior people do it?”
As to Tuesday. … Sunny and 75 after a pretty dawn. Major crisis today was the coffee maker died. Cowboy coffee just ain’t the same. Plan to buy my perishables for T-day today. Plus a new coffee maker.
Ruble, one year my plans changed drastically at the last minute so it was me and Mom. I went to the sto on T-Day and got us a rotisserie chicken, Stouffer’s spinach souffle, and some potato thing (can’t remember). Perhaps you can do the same. I won’t talk about the worst Thanksgiving of my life in which my alcoholic brothers bailed on me at 5pm, nothing was open, and I ended up eating a Lean Cuisine turkey dinner by myself.
We actually looked at that this AM as we waited for the coffee to brew. We may have to order some gear for the free shipping (they were out of the XL hats when I did the XL Experience) but I don’t see a visit in our plans for this summer. And to be honest I don’t know if I have another XL in me unless it hits 50% off OR we have plans of going there anyway. Fifteen doesn’t quite cut it.
ON FUNERALS - most I have unofficially planned by letting the crew know what my wishes are but its been impossible for me to get the OW even as far as wills so …
And remember, she plays piano at a cathouse (works with lawyers) every day so you would think she would at least see the advantages of that much.
Yeppers – that was the little line of code a programmer included since he felt the AIs were becoming a sort of slavery; it lead to the rebellion and AI War. It is also why the AIs (unlike the tanks/nipple-necks) are such compulsive gamblers.
As for the funeral ----- I know Indians (feather this time) who have managed some traditional burials legally that aren’t really quite legal these days. If you decide to and need a good (note I did not say “honest” or “ethical”) lawyer, let me know.
Maybe that’s because you don’t come across as being quite so <ahem> flaming here?
now I really am ashamed of myself 
Howdy Y’all! I have been to the sto’, accomplished laundry, and made up the sweet N.O.T. for TDay. Go Me! I am havin’ microwave popcorn for N.O.L. (don’t judge!) and next up is a Dr. appointment at two p.m.
Evenin’ all. Well, it’s only 5 pee emm, but it’s dark, so it’s evening. Didn’t achieve much today- had the afternoon off, and was intending to study and be all sensible, but I seem to have encountered something I’m allergic to. I don’t know what, but my eyes suddenly went all red and started watering and my nose started dripping, and wouldn’t stop.
Took some hayfever stuff and had a shower, which both seemed to help a bit, but I’ve no idea what caused it. Last time that happened was about 15 years ago in response to a friend’s kitty, but no felines were encountered today. Most odd.
Oh well, beekeeping group tonight; they’re probably going to think I’m really over emotional about bees.
Going to Jawja I guess. If I am offered a credit or cash to give up my seat I will be the first in line. Then I will know it was meant to be.
So much to do and so little time. I still have to go to the drug store, bank and hairdresser and then pack. I will have a couple hours in the am as flight is at 1330 which means I need to leave my house no later than 1130.
My hairdresser is working out of a bar since the storm. So I can sip while getting snipped. I love the Keys. We are weird.
Prayers and thoughts that the plane does not crash. I am skeered of flying. Will have to drug myself.
Gas has been washed, vacuumed, gas tank full and air in the tires, so I’m ready for the trek to Brother’s house tomorrow. Still have to (over) pack and copy out my China quotes to do some comparisons over the time of visiting, but that will do for the evening.
Right now nappage appears to be in the immediate future. See all y’all in a bit.
Oops, that’s Car that was washed, gassed up, air added to tires, and vacuumed.
