K4, love you baby.Me, I had pretty much a clean sweep last night. Won the poker tourny and a few hundred more in the side game after.I've gotten about 4 hours of sleep, wearing my U of Hold Em sweatshirt and the bird on the BGE. Mrs. SLB is a wreck and I am too but I can't show it. Nothing more I would like to do than cry right now. BUT I can't and that's cool. Have Big D keeping me company and listening to tunes. Have to move forward even though the wind is strong.Love you guys and hope you have a great day whatever you do.

Yeah, no football on TG is a deal breaker for me. Did my very first turkey brine last night. Been in the cold garage for 15 hours or so. Cannot wait to grill this bad boy up. My buddy just rolled by with a fresh quarter sack that smells delicious. Boys just got picked up by their mom. Baby about to take a nap. Bloody Mary's about to get made. Football on TV. Bets placed. And I'm taking off tomorrow. A more perfect morning I cannot envision.First year I've ever hosted TG, but it'll be a small affair. My boys will be back over at 2pm. I invited their mom to stay with us for the holiday, but I'm not sure she'll take us up on that. I hope she does. Last year, she spent Thanksgiving by herself and that kind of hurt my soul a little. So...we invited her to stay. We'll see. My folks will be here too. My sister opted to spend her day with her on again off again adrenaline junkie boyfriend who doesn't eat turkey or any meat. Sounds....neat. HAPPY THANKSGIVING GMTAN!

You're good people. My ex-wife joined us for our feast :thumbup: I'm sure that's weird to most, but she doesn't have family in town and hasn't seen our daughter this week since my parents are here. I cooked, so she and my mom are doing the dishes. Modern family, blah blah blah

Easy breakfast:1 cubed sweet potato, chopped bacon, chopped garlic in a frying pan. Cook until the sweet potato is almost done, throw in a chopped red pepper, cook until it's all done. Delicious. I'm suddenly glad my wife bought a 10 pound bag of sweet potatoes at Costco.

Yeah, nice one but I opted for:vodka, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, piri piri sauce, beef bouillon, horseradish, celery, olive, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and celery salt. Worked until 4.30am this morning (k4> hi), woke at 6.30 by a kids big toe up my right nostril. We weren't supposed to do thanksgiving dinner today, but MIL woke at 6am and "cooked" until lunch time. I couldn't even force myself to taste any of it... Took kids home for a nap, and will mix cocktail #4 as soon as they are out.Neat.

Happy thanksgiving. Hope you and the family are holding up ok.
 
Straggler thanksgiving is the best. 9 unrelated people with more on the way. Everyone drinks, everyone watches football. 2 fried turkeys eaten so far.

 
Four Shiner Cheers, 2 Coccnut Porters and 3 shots of SoCo Lime later, I don't care about how bad Dallas is losing or how white trash my family is.

Happy Thanksgiving Jim Tanners!!!!!

 
Having a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and deep-fried Turkey but Directv can bite me.

They have a localized service problem that causes pixellation and freezing for Jacksonville local HD programming. Of course all three games are on locals.

Been a problem all day and they still have no ETA. Had to watch the games in SD. Called to lodge my complaint so I can call customer retention tomorrow.

 
Totally digging there being a third game tonight.

Family gone, enjoying a plate of desserts with a nice glass of wine. A very nice day overall.

My mom: "Everyone is really having a good time. No one is fighting or #####ing."

Me: "My trip to the liquor store was not a random errand. A couple of bottles of wine and everyone is happy."

My mom: "Ohhhh. Well, we should do that for every holiday."

Me: :yes:

 
Difficult to watch the Longhorn game, even with booze. I have turned my shirt backwards and am waiting to see how long it takes for my dad to notice.

 
Had 22 over for plenty of drink and food. Now mapping the black Friday adventure that Mrs. Beavers just informed me about starting at midnight.... with 3 teenagers. She has to drive cause I keep pounding scotch. :banned: followed by breakfast and then sleep ... hope everyone had a good day and best I-wishes to those with troubles and congrats to all those celebrating. Cheers!

Sorry to hear you've had such troubles. :( It's just not something I've ever dealt with. I read people's stories on here of their dysfunctional families and always think how glad I am that I don't have to deal with that kind of stuff. I've never seen an actual argument in my family, the kind with yelling and stuff, and I guess I still haven't but this is the worst I've had to experience. Suppose I should feel lucky in that regard.Everyone still here today and things seem normal-ish on the surface, except for this huge tension hanging over everything. This is miserable and I can't believe I have to deal with it until Sunday. I really didn't want to get out of bed today. What's worse will be dealing with Friday/Saturday when there's not the distraction of being able to eat too much and watch a lot of football.Ugh.

Thanks, I think I've told the story about how my sister ruined Christmas last year by screaming at my wife about how much she was a ##### and how much she hated her etc etc. My sister is now engaged to a widower with 2 wonderful daughters and his family has some resentment issues where they flat out told my sister they did not approve of the marraige. It was a wake up call to my sister who, after nearly a year of shunning my wife, can finally realize what if feels like to be treated unfairly by a family. So there was a long heartfelt apology that we both appreciated. Long story short we've made step 1 of becoming a normal family again.As someone who has to deal with this family bull#### on a regular basis, I truly want to say thank you to the GMTAN family. I am very thankful for you all. This small corner of the internet has become a place that I (we) can hang out, laugh, love, cry, vent, and be ourselves.As I told SLB, I'm more upset about missing UrukCosHole, not because of the drinking and the fun, but because I feel like I know you all and I think it would be great to shake each of your hands and say "Hi, I'm Matt"I'm drunk and being weird and should probably quit while I'm ahead. Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you all have a great weekend:banned:

See, this is what I'm curious to see. Will we call each other by board names or actual names?
 
We agreed to host Christmas for about 80 family members/drunks this year. Mrs. TF's grandfather typically hosts, but his house is smaller as the family expands...plus his house isn't too kid friends.

He's paying for everything, but hopefully I didn't bitee off more than I can chew.

Sup, ACP? Ugly game Sunday night, wasn't it? Ben plays, Stillers win that going away.Ok, fess up everyone who likes college hoops: if you read a scouting report on Butler without having seen them play and saw the name "Rotnei Clarke" on the roster, what ethnicity would you think he is? Me too, yet he's as pale as GM.

You clearly didn't have Rotnei on your fantasy team when he was at Arkansas.

Time to fire up the weber kettle so I can start smoking 2 turkey breasts.If my parents wouldn't look down on me thinking I had an issue that they would need to get me help for, it would also be time for a beer. Happy Thanksgiving!!

Oh yeah, and it's 30 degrees out. I feel like this must be how the Minnesota FBGs feel when they grill/smoke in the summer

I'm glad that things have gone in such a great direction for you, GB. :)

Things have, but I didn't mean that as a brag. I love my job, don't ever want to quit it, but I'm not sure if it pays me enough money to be a long term option if I want kids. So I've got both the good and the bad the opposite of you. :)

Loved the way the turkey came out...but it kind of tasted like, well...turkey. With a bit of a kick and a touch more taste. But my god, I put some elbow grease into this one. Can't wait to make soup tomorrow! Oh, reminds me. Need to text boss to tell him I'm out for the day. Thanks for reminding me, me.

God I'm stuffed. Wife does pasta by hand. It's incredible. But if you've never had homemade pasta by an Italian on a day where sooooooo many other food items are present, tread very carefully. That stuff will expand in your stomach like a puffer-fish about 20 minutes after it hits. My god. I can't move.

But, I can't move just enough to pour myself a large glass of Jameson (SP?). :excited: :excited:

Can't wait until the kids go to bed so I can fire up joint, light a fire in my fire pit and smoke one of K4's Stoogs. :thumbup:

 
Topped off turkey day with going to the movies and seeing Lincoln solo. If I had worn a jacket I would have laid lenghtwise on the seats with a jacket as my pillow.

Thanks, GBs SLB, TU and Pickles. I love the last paragraphs of Pickles' post. I realize that notion every time I go on vacation and wonder how things will go on without me. Of course, my boss did tell me, and was serious and very uncharacteristically emotional when doing so, that if I left it would be like having his left arm torn off. Touched, I asked him why only his left arm. :)

Anyway, he and I are going to talk seriously about this next week. Sadly there isn't much he can do or hasn't already done. Our CFO (on the job only 15 months) quit on Sunday night, shaking me even more, and I had been teetering on, or over, the edge anyway.

I can't add anything to what the other guys said that wouldn't be a horrible cliche so I'll just throw out a "good luck", k4.
