As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly — the 2024 Thanksgiving thread

Sincere thoughts and prayers Bari.

 

Praying for peace and hoping for good timing @TrooperBari

Hack family Thanksgiving coming up Friday, per recent tradition.

 

I’m waiting for Adam Schefter to confirm this BREAKING NEWS.

Safe travels and all the best, TrooperBari.

 

Now I wish I had booked earlier flights. I got into LaGuardia at around 1500 after spending Wednesday night with the family at our Thanksgiving gathering (not pushed by me ... their choice). Didn't book trip tickets until we had Thanksgiving plans firmed up. So spent time with family - most of us in the same neighborhood before flying to hang out with a friend for the first time in more than three years. Best of both worlds.

 

I’m sorry.

 

Peace and good karma to you, @TrooperBari. From personal experience, I know having a loved one in this situation on the holiday is a terrible, no-good, unfun deal.


Ms Sixtoe and I didn't have family plans, as everyone was scattered this year, so we dined at a local Indian restaurant. We imagined the tasty turkey kabobs, bhindi (okra), chana masala (peas) and other fare as a souped-up pilgrim feast. It was quite good. They had pumpkin pie, too, which was nice with a small serving of kheer.

 

Hope you had a nice last visit trooperbari.

Had a nice feast, mom never got off her feet and still enjoys it!

 

It’s not a holiday without a clogged toilet, right? *sigh*

“There’s water flowing over the toilet we tried to unclog it but couldn’t and now there’s water flowing over in the floor and we put down towels and can’t get it unclogged and …”

OK, I’ll check.

“What causes this?”

Um, too much shit in there?”

“Well, it’s a toilet, so …”
