You must be very persuasive!

Good for you.

And I'm sure they don't have a problem with getting the day(s) off from work though.

Of course not. They also support fully the Marxist Kenyan's socialist agenda while taking advantage of every tax deduction available.

My father was a WWII vet. At his funeral the Honor Guard presented the flag that draped his coffin to my brother who is older. He and his family do not respect the country so they didn't want the flag. He gave it to me and I was happy to get it.

These people are so politically ignorant they have debated who should be the first female president. Some say Hillary and some say Michelle Obama. Yes, they are that stupid.

“This guy had it figured out.”

The character, not the actor, who was a leftist freak.

That’s the irony. Norman Lear’s sendup turns out to be spot on with reality.

Liberals really don’t do satire very well.

Agree with premise and up the ante.
For example, going after the top 1 per cent....take it big (top 1 per cent in the world not just the U.S.). If they really believe this stuff they need to be ready to pay up because here comes the whole aggrieved world to lay claim to the wealth of all of the middle income Americans. This gets beyond an issue to a concept.

Agree. Woo hoo, a first. It’ll be just us two this year. Nice and peaceful and no walking on eggshells around anyone.

The past few years, Fang & I have taken to going out for
turkey & the trimmings buffet; either at a state park or
some other half decent buffet. MIL always warped holidays
into a war of the wills - which she was always assured of
winning - with me apologizing for “causing trouble &
crossing her”. She passed away a few years ago at 88. -
I don’t hate her or harbor any residual animosity. -
Husband has grown up a lot since she passed away. -
We wait until well after the lunchtime crowd on
Thanksgiving & have a leisurely late lunch. - Holidays
were always chaotic and hard on me; but that’s in the
past!

Good advice! I have a son-in-law who has a habit of wearing t-shirts to events that call for at least smart, casual dress. A collared shirt is appropriate and, even if it is warm, leave the shorts at home. As far as Politics, he and my daughter have mysteriously put their pictures of Obama away.
Well, maybe not such a mystery eh?
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

We are both great cooks. But this year we’re buying dinner from a supermarket already prepared and we’ll probably have to freeze most of it. I’m not sure how many it’s supposed to feed but it’s probably at least enough for 10 people.

After dark we’re going to a Santa’s Wonder Land near College Station, Texas and see the lights. And show our love for each other.

Wife and I were talking earlier today about how the internet has turned people against each other because people will say things on the internet that they won’t say to each other’s faces. The fact is we tell the truth on FB, twitter etc and it has the same effect as telling it face to face. I truly believe the internet has broken up a lot of families because it has taken the idea of showing respect and thrown it into the WWW abyss.

So, when holiday dinner time comes around lots of people now know exactly how everyone else feels about them so they stays home.

Thanks bg

And may I add, as a born and bred NY fashion pain in the b, no one wants to see men’s legs and not anyone wants to see men’s toes. No.

We can’t control others. Not even our guests. Forget that

Interesting.

Another thought, at least with me, I see people who I know when they are talking to me will tell me what they really think or feel and then I will see them on Facebook acting like some sort of moderate fence sitter. It's very hard for me to ever look at that person in the same light again. I am pretty much disgusted by their weakness.

You said “walking on eggshells”. My wife said it’s like walking through a minefield with someone constantly burying new mines. The next step could be an explosion.

Howdy, fellow Texan.

We’ve already sliced into the pumpkin pie, yum!
