Reading many of these posts, especially those concerning family political discussions, I'm deeply thankful to have married into a family of Midwestern leftist populists.
There may be one or two Republicans, but they are vastly outnumbered and much less passionate.
And, I always thought it was 'Murcan. The alternative spelling: no wonder so many Europeans think Americans are d*ckheads.
OMG. Isn't that why we broke off from England and the continent to begin with? Because we didn't care what the foolish Europeans thought? I get so sick of the Europeans are superior crap. I think you kind of missed the point, Pry. I don't think so. |

Janie Mac, I have to pack tonight for the weekend. I have no idea what I ought to be wearing on Thursday (although I gather it should be something with room to expand in), I still haven't found a decent florist in Froggyville, and I've just dyed my hair. The last would not normally be a problem, but I've also dyed my ears, forearms and neck with a new brand of dye that doesn't seem to come off skin as easily as my usual stuff.

Try wiping a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol over the stains. Failing that solution, fingernail polish remover takes most dyes off of skin. Be careful around your eyes. |

It is never Thanksgiving unless: someone puts a dirtbike into the pond, pees during the hay ride, announces they are pregnant again with a different babydaddy, kisses her girlfriend tongue and all at the dinner table, 14 year old smokes pot in basement, or various other fun things. I like to just shut my mouth, watch the trainwreck happen, and laugh inside. The little family secrets all seem to come out and the stories that are told are often worth tolerating the boring parts of the day.
And no, we are not a trailer park family. Normally we are well educated and hard working. I think that tryptophan causes some reaction that activates the "stupid" gene in my family DNA.

^ If more people had this Thanksgiving experience, I doubt there'd be as many people in the Thanksgiving--Solo topic.

Nope, not a chance. Nobody can compare with prof_mom's live Thanksgiving of two years ago, nor should they attempt to.

Remember when Oseph reported live from a horrendous baby shower? That was a hoot!

...and: it was fine. Enjoyable, even. The TV didn't get switched on at all; the food was bland but good, the wine was good and plentiful, and 98's parents were friendly, interesting, and (apparently) sane. No-one, including me, got drunk and embarrassing. I did see a few baby pictures of 98, but nothing egregious.
There was a bit of drama in that 98's sister decided at the very last minute to come down from A Couple Of States Over, so Wednesday evening involved 98 doing a lot of driving, rather than me catching the train down and a civilised and relaxed evening at his. This also meant I met the parents for the first time on the Wednesday, which I had not been anticipating, so I was rather more gothed up than I had intended to be for my very first impression on them. They didn't seem to mind, and I spent today rather more conservatively dressed.
So: sorry I don't have any amusing stories, but I'm glad it worked out that way. I'm invited back to Christmas, and I'd be happy to go.
PS: I forgot to bring a merkin, and thankfully no bridge was played.
