Happy Thanksgiving All!

Dropping off the grid for the next week or so, try not to burn the house down while I'm gone.
You know, with the turkey deep fry thingy..
Hope you all have a nice holiday! 2F

Happy thanksgiving. Costco has these master carve hams that are pretty good. Also the spinich dip recipe on the back of "knorrs vegitable soup mix" packets is amazing if you like spinich dip. Enjoy

Thank the Almighty for the Thanksgiving holiday. Every year the MIT kid in our family-clan has hosted the dinner in her home for 30 family-clan-members. We get together, pig out on turkey for dinner, rejoice and count our blessings. Then we wait for another 365 days, and look forward to another Thanksgiving-get-together. I do feel that the Almighty does pour out His grace on us.

Happy thanksgiving to you guys.

Happy Thanksgiving early to each an every forum member.

I'd also like to say that if you're thankful for the good things you have in life, then please don't call it "turkey day." Instead, show your thanks by at least calling Thanksgiving by its proper name.

Beautiful wive, 3 daughters, 12 granddaughters, 2 grandsons, 1 great granddaughter. I have a lot to be thankful for.

Haven't had turkey in years, haven't even
done anything to celebrate the holiday
in three years. We're going to the casino
next Thursday, and nothing else. This has
always been an over rated holiday, just
an excuse to eat. And way too much work
for those that do all the cooking and for
years that was me. Never again..

Thanksgiving Day it is indeed. At least for me and mine, hopefully for each of you and your's.

I am waiting for other parties to arrive, then I will really leave for a while. Week or ten days.
I heard a noise..........gotta go....

This won't be the first time I have a different opinion than EB. Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday. Food, drink, football, etc. without any gift giving, greeting cards, or other requisite purchases.

Of course the downside starts the next day with Black Friday and the whole drawn out, heavily commercialized, high pressure, expensive Christmas season.

My mom and aunt hated Tgiving. They
had to get up early and slave in a hot
kitchen for hours while all the men sat
on their fat asses in front of the TV.
They never lifted a finger to help with
anything, not even the clean up. I'm
sure it was that way it was in most families.

Lots of people go out to eat these days,
that's the only way I would do it. I never
cooking another Tgiving dinner for
a bunch of ungrateful schlubs again.
The youngest did it once 4 years ago
and she says never again too. Now she
goes to a holiday buffet with her husband,
loves it.

This is the first year that my mother and I are back in each others lives after being estranged for 15 years. My mother is cooking T-giving dinner for my household, myself, my partner, my brother and out 4th housemate. The traditional turkey with all the trimmings. I begged her not to put herself through that, and we should all go to a buffet, but she insists and says she 'wants' to. I feel guilty knowing the work involved, but must admit that I am greatly looking forward to the meal and the first Thanksgiving in 15 years with my Mother, my brother and myself all at the same Thanksgiving table. :)

Thread title edited.

I have much to be thankful for. Life is good.

Mom and I are doing the traditional dinner, scaled down, but definitely including turkey, which we both love. Her pecan pie is the finest known. Sweet potatoes and green bean casserole.

I wish you all the best of the holidays, starting here.

I will be spending Thanksgiving with my parents only — have been some family issues otherwise that will keep some of us apart from others (long story). I found out the casino I will be going to will only be serving turkey at the buffet so, I suppose I will be substituting chicken for turkey this year.
However, there will be a TR Thanksgiving Day/Weekend — think of it as a warmup to my upcoming LV Trip Report coming soon (including a BJ tournament)

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all, and a hearty congratulations to our good friend KewlJ. There are some wins that are even more exciting than a run at the Tables significantly exceeding EV.

I'll be at work for Thanksgiving having also come off of back-to-back double shifts, so I'll need to get some sleep that morning and early afternoon before work.

Fortunately, I've had a tremendous relationship with my Mother, my Step-Dad, my sister and, of course, my kids for several years. My girlfriend too, since July of last year, who also gets along tremendously with the aforementioned individuals. As a result, what many families only have the opportunity, inclination or both to do a few times a year is something that we do regularly. Perhaps half of the Sundays of the year.

I hope that doesn't come off as bragging as it is certainly not meant that way, but my point is that I have the benefit of being surrounded by people for whom I am thankful (and who are thankful for me) all of the time, and we regularly demonstrate that thanks.

Thus, I have the benefit of Thanksgiving being just another Thursday for me. While some might be miserable being cooped up at work on Thanksgiving, for me, it really makes no difference...and I am extremely thankful that is the case.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

Our Thanksgiving will be non-traditional but perhaps may become tradition for a while as our kids go from college students to adults in the work force over the next few years. Those kids are something I am always thankful for...four kids from two marriages that are friends and love each other, enjoy being together, and all are working to make their lives successful. Of course, I am thankful for my wonderful wife. I have much to be thankful for!

We are headed to the company's deer lease for a few days. It is in the Hill Country of Texas. Thanksgiving dinner will be simple since we have limited cooking options. We will be far away from the daily routine. We'll have some quality Texas BBQ from a place called Cooper's in Llano, Texas. We'll visit a fort where Robert E Lee and many others were stationed before the Civil War. Perhaps we will look for the Old Yeller Statue (the author was from, and wrote the book while living, a town close to the deer lease). My son and I will enjoy several hunts (last year he took his first deer, a wonderful 8 pt buck) and perhaps bring home some delicious meat for the freezer and some great memories! There are modern conveniences like Directv, so we'll watch football, too. I am really looking forward to it...

I'm impressed that you & your wife are the Thanksgiving Day Volunteers @ The Salvation Army. I wish I can see you guys there @5am, but I get a thanksgiving-dinner with my family clan & the N.E. Salvation Army is a bit too far for me to drive to. Happy Thanksgiving to you & your wife.

You made a jpeg image of another post in another thread over a year old to post in this thread to reply too. Uh, okay?

Happy Thanksgiving.

Won't be visiting a casino tomorrow, but it was always a good place for a 2 million calorie Thanksgiving dinner when I did.

Monday thru Sunday ALL have/contain the word day within --- tomorrow is the 'only day of the week' that DOESN'T have the word DAY within, thanks for reminding me. Happy Thanksgiving as well.


Edit: Trivia
Actually the word Tomorrow reminded me of this little trivia question --- Can anyone/you name a day of the week (Monday - Sunday) that doesn't have the word DAY in it? I was just trying to joke around with the word 'tomorrow' within that persons (rxwine) post.

Hey happy thanks giving to all. Let's enjoy here.
