My kid accused me of being overdramatic, so I changed the WiFi password. We’ll see who’s overdramatic in about five minutes.

On that Thanksgiving seating chart: I have the celiac gene, so I only eat gluten-free. And no shellfish or peanuts, I’m deathly allergic. And foods very low in iron, I have the hemochromatosis genes. No wine or alcohol of any kind, because I can’t drink. Happy Thanksgiving, Bluebird!

My seating arrangement: If you’re vegan, eat somewhere else. If you’re a great cook, invite me to dinner.

That saying they use – ‘I don’t eat anything with a face’. Well he doesn’t have a face anymore, does he – and pass the gravy please.

Don’t eat anything with a face? There would be almost nothing you could eat!

Lol! Well, there’s no keto / Hashimoto’s maybe-a-little of that-we’ll-see, nor the “Isn’t Chipotle’s open??” peeps this year, but the once-flexi now a bad-gall-bladder is the *runner* so she’ll be in the side-Mom chair. 😂 Happy T-Day. 🌷

Our hostess for Thanksgiving not only whipped up an impressively large and fabulous feast for us (and her family and ours), but also made a number of special dishes for her husband’s vegetarian parents. I thought that was pretty heroic.

I’m currently disabled with a metatarsal fracture, so I didn’t cook this year (for the first time in I-can’t-remember-how-long). Luckily for us, some friends invited us to dinner at their place and we were treated to truly sumptuous feast. After dinner we played parlor games and laughed ourselves silly.
I hope your Thanksgiving was happy.

I’m pretty much an omnivore (no food allergies or anything), but I have to be very careful what I eat, and how much. I recently lost forty pounds and I’ll gain them all back if I’m not careful!

My neighbors had their Christmas lights up the day before Thanksgiving 😳 🤯 🙃

Some people around here do that, especially if the weather is relatively mild in late November but snow and/or cold temperatures are in the forecast.

I get not wanting to be out in the cold stringing lights; it’s awful. My suggestion is to keep the lights off until after Thanksgiving. We’re all in such a rush these days we don’t give ourselves the chance to savor each holiday on its own. Merry Christmas, Blue! 🤣

I’m with you. I never put up Christmas stuff until after Thanksgiving (and sometimes not until closer to Christmas Eve).
