Thanksgiving

Perhaps you could leave notes on stranger's cars inviting them over for Thanksgiving dinner.

Why, you have no where to go on Thanksgiving? Is it going to be a turkey Lean cuisine holiday?

This was a reference to an earlier conversation on a totally unrelated topic.

I will be spending Thanksgiving week with my son in Iowa.

The "totally" unrelated topic being you going out of your way to pick on Moreluck....which is "totally" uncalled for.

It wasn't just her-----I would pick on anybody who felt it was their business to play meter maid at the mall.

I inform people who are too dumb to realize that their bad behavior inconveniences others.....I see nothing wrong with that.
Here's the exact wording on the "ticket".

Hey,
You suck at parking.
Seriously.
Learn to park and be considerate to others.
Idiot!

The size of the ticket is 4 1/2 inches square and is slipped under a wiper.

It was designed and worded by hubby.

I got my turkey this morning. Albertsons had a coupon for Honeysuckle turkey for 47 cents a pound if you buy $25 worth of groceries.
I was already going to spend $25, so I was able to use the turkey coupon. Got about a 13 pounder, originally $24.60 for $6.51.
I'm really going to enjoy that bird.
Got Cool Whip for 88 cents and a frozen pumpkn pie for $3.99. (I don't make pies) Claim Jumper is my favorite.

12-13 pound is just the right size in my opinion. So many of the turkeys now are those huge overbred monsters that are much larger but not as good.

There's only 2 of us this year, and we don't want a week of leftovers.

Mitch Hedberg: I hate turkeys. If you stand in the meat section at the grocery store long enough, you start to get mad at turkeys. There’s turkey ham, turkey bologna, turkey pastrami. Some one needs to tell the turkey, ‘man, just be yourself.

Ellen Orleans: I have strong doubts that the first Thanksgiving even remotely resembled the ‘history’ I was told in second grade. But considering that (when it comes to holidays) mainstream America’s traditions tend to be over-eating, shopping, or getting drunk, I suppose it’s a miracle that the concept of giving thanks even surfaces at all.

Ted Nugent: If you want to save a species, simply decide to eat it. Then it will be managed -- like chickens, like turkeys, like deer, like Canadian geese.
