Oh my.
The other week, the neighbor, who lives six miles up the road, stopped by and invited me to two Thanksgiving dinners; one on Thanksgiving Day itself, the other the day after.
He was obviously hoping I would attend both of them--after all, there's not many people in this area of the Sandhills of Nebraska--but I got the sense he really wanted me to come today (Friday), if I wasn't willing to do the Thanksgiving Day thing, too.
Well, no, I wasn't willing to do the Thanksgiving Day thing, but I was curious about this day-after-Thanksgiving event, and so said yes.
The neighbor is a farmer, in his late 30s; some service in the National Guard, a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Nebraska, and a master's degree in mathematics from Northwestern University in Illinois.
The neighbor's wife is a stay-at-home mother, in her late 20s; an Air Force brat, a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Missouri, and a dental hygiene degree from the University of Nebraska. She and her husband have three children, twin 4-year-old heiresses and one heir a year old, and a fourth on the way in February.
The neighbors are decent and civilized people, salt of the earth, although she has red hair, and due to some long-forgotten childhood trauma, I've always been nervous about redheads. She however is very nice, and an expert horsewoman.
The other day, I reminded the neighbor I was coming over the day after Thanksgiving, and asked if anything special might be going on.
Yeah.
It was their turn to take care of Aunt Sunshine, and they were happy I would show up to help.

Ping for the list.
That was weird and fascinating. Finger in the tyke’s nose you say?
Sounds like a hermaphrodite, Frank. I swear, you write some of the weirdest stories... Shoulda told Auntie Sunshine that Nazis are liberals, she'd have turned turgid tout de suite.
It sounds like this woman is interested you in a sexual way. Are you single?
You write very well.
If I got the genders straight, I think the type, a male, laughed when Aunt Sunshine picked her own nose but cried when she looked at him.
frank, PJ or I may post a DUFU later on about the DUmmies spending Thanksgiving with their rethuglican relatives. There are a couple of threads we're tracking for their DUFUability.
Yeah, that's it. It was a first-draft thing, and I missed that. Sorry.
Yeah, that's it. It was a first-draft thing, and I missed that. Sorry.
Good, I haven’t wanted to go over there and expose myself to all of their post-Thanksgiving “cheer”. I’m glad you and PJ are on top of that.
Who is Doug?
And who is his stupid ex-wife?
You were blessed to have this experience. Think of all the people who just had boring T’day dinner and passed out on the couch.
parsy, who says “preserve your memories...they’re all thats left you” (S & G)
Frank does have great stories
find later
Anyway, I have had similar experiences with people from the left. They assume right off the bat that I am one of them (probably because I'm a lifetime Massachusetts resident), but as soon as I reveal my conservative leanings, they turn cold and even hateful towards me. Even though I never give them any grief for their opinions.
It is true that is is the liberals who are truly hateful and intolerant people. Almost as a rule.
Those are two DUmmies
You are so right. It is the libs who are absolutely intolerant of anyone who isn’t exactly brainwashed to their personal standards.
