7: basically heebie learned, the hard way, that allowing people to go off-topic before 40 comments actually awakes a slumbering evil (the Balrogged) which destroys the site.

My wife tested positive for covid this morning so plans to hit two family Thanksgivings this weekend are trashed.

I just went out to buy an emergency turkey breast. But turkey breasts cost $17 and they had a whole turkey for sale for $7, so now there is an entire discount bird in my oven.

Also bought some covid tests. What a massive policy failure that they cost $10 each.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Im in a pub in Arrakis drunk off my ass with a bunch of Brits and a Saffer watching the WC but no one to celebrate with.

15: Supermarkets are open on Thanksgiving in NH?!!! Or do convenience stores sell turkeys?

Yeah, Hannefords at least. There are some convenience stores that might sell a turkey but not the ones here in the big city.

24: The only part of the Blue Laws that remains in MA is that supermarkets must close on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Wait, what happened? I've been mucking about in the server. I took the site down for about ten minutes last night, but was there more?

A local radio station had a stunt go wrong and ended up bombing a parking lot full off people with live turkeys dropped from a helicopter. It was horrible.

I am grilling a turkey on a charcoal grill. We're all going to die of salmonella.

21, 27: We ate Thanksgiving dinner early and are watching the WKRP episode now (having finished watching the parade and the dog show, as is also traditional). The ceremonial playing of "Alice's Restaurant" will come later this evening while Mr. Robot is outside smoking so he doesn't have to listen.

My mother sadly continues positive for COVID so could not make it to the gathering. But Dad, brother, SIL, baby niece, & aunt are all together. And Mom was there to support her close friend who passed away yesterday after a fairly quick-acting cancer.

See Glass Onion! It'll be gone from theaters soon, then on Netflix at a later date. It's a riot.

We were driving from my in-laws house to the rental yesterday, and the mood seemed right, and I played Alice's Restaurant for the kids, and they thought it was hysterically funny. I was pleased as punch.
