Thanksgiving - On Topic
Anne Robotti
think it's kind of cool that we're having Thanksgiving at our house
this year and we can do pizza. I'm going to make that a tradition.
Things to share with SD, we're going to make turkeys out of heart
punches (those are SOOOO cool) for everybody's place at the table.
I hope it'll become a tradition.

to be more low-key than US thanksgiving, SD always gets off school to
participate in whatever thanksgiving get-togethers we have in the states.
She loves the fact that the entire family gets together for hanging out,
watching movies, talking and catching up, goofing around with siblings you
don't see much anymore...it's all a riot for her, and she wouldn't miss it
for the world.
We usually go to my mom's for ham and green bean casserole and this awesome
jello thing she makes and cornbread and all sorts of stuff. This year we
will be at my mom's for a day, where we will have lasagne, then at my
grandparents with my dad an a bunch of others for the traditional turkey.
This probably hasn't helped much, but I'm remembering when we were all kids
we'd spend the day with all of our cousins and siblings and write a play.
Then we'd dress up and perform right before dinner. That was tradition
until we outgrew it ;)

Well, I would have said the same thing myself until we went to a
strip club for a friend's bachelorette party. One of our group
ordered me a jello shot. This charming young man in leather
shorts with a chain suspenders sat in my lap so that I was my
lips were a breath away from pecs like rock slabs, poured it
some a glob of jello into my throat, then kissed me. I'm not
sure how it tasted, but it gave me a new respect for jello.

Jane, you'd be the one who would drop everything to go away for a mystery
weekend in just what you're wearing. You'd be the one to go on the
rollercoaster at the fair. You'd be the one to drink the rocket-fuel
cocktail. And you'd be the one to kiss a gorgeous hunk with a mouth full of
jello.
Boring, goody-two-shoes people like me live their lives through people like
you!

Me too. I still have fond memories of a topless waiter named Earl.
My first "Ladies' Night" was when I was sixteen. I was working part time in
an accounting office and the girls decided to go to this Ladies' Night that
a couple of restaurants were putting on. Tickets were $60 and you got all
your drinks free (highballs and beer, with no limits), Chinese food smorg,
"male exotic entertainment" and topless waiters who you could do anything
you wanted with. Every hour or so they gave the most enthusiastic table a
round of tequila shooters.
Naive little me wondered what she'd do with "topless" waiters when you had
strippers???
Man--this guy was incredible! Drop dead gorgeous in a manly-man kind of
way, without being a sasquatch. His muscles were so defined he kept
snapping his bowties! And things progressed very, very nicely...until
somebody told him my real age...
I kept the bowtie for a long time, though.

Atomic jello?
Obviously, I need to learn more about jello. Everytime I see jello, I
think hospital, disgusting, get it away from me. :-)

Yes....all of my children are helping me make dinner. We pick the menu
together (pretty funny though, we always end up with the same stuff every
year)....We are having guests so I will buy white place mats and let the kids
create our place settings.....It is tradition for all of the kids to help with
the stuffing(and the preparation of the whole dinner)....we always helped my
mom with it as kids and my kids love to help also. And another tradition is
driving Downtown Detroit to watch the big Thanksgiving day parade (while
freezing our butts off), then come home and have hot cocoa and
breakfast................but definately nooooo football.....thank goodness my
husband hates it...

about seven years ago. She dragged me to a strip club even though
I knew 90% of the guys were going to be gay or stupid. And then
she got right up onstage and tongue-kissed this guy... EEEEWWWWW!
When she got back to our table I said, "Don't even BREATHE in my
direction after you just kissed that walking petrie dish!"
And she says I'm no fun...

I'm with Kallyn. Or, my husband is with hers. No sports. He
sometimes will watch a track meet or part of a hockey game,
but no football, baseball, basketball, golf, none of that stuff.
It was funny though on Halloween night. We were taking the
kids around and at least three different people informed DH
that 'the Vikes won.' He finally looked at me and said 'Should
I ask the next one who they played?' 'No,' I told him, 'We would
be run out of the neighborhood on a rail!'

Casserole" which is just awesome. That's a tradition in our family, and
it's easy enough to make. I could get the recipe if you want. We also
always had that Christmas morning.

Whathisname can't stand the game. I, however, wouldn't know what to do
during football season without a game on. I'm looking forward to
Thanksgiving just for the game. God knows, it certainly won't be for the
company!

No, no golf, no football....isn't life great...I hate football games, well
except for my son's. We are hockey freaks....Wings, Wings, and more
Wings.......We love hockey.........That is the only sport we watch on tv....We
like the other ones but prefer to be there live to enjoy them....Oh yeah, my
husband loves baseball.....but still doesn't watch it on tv, we are only about
1/2 hour from all the sport stadiums so if we want to see them we will usually
just go...

spent Thanksgiving with most of my adult years. My own family does not
celebrate the holiday due to their religion, so I latched on to this family
as a surrogate. Before the wonderful meal, lit up with candles and the
smell of pumpkin pie wafting in the air, we would each, in turn, tell
everyone what we were thankful for, and what our wishes for our family were
for the next year. Then we all held hands and someone said a prayer and
"Mom" blew out the candles.
Wistfully,
Byron

pineapple mixed in with a bottom layer of jello; let set for 1/2 hour;
another layer of Cool-Whip mixed with fruit cocktail and jello and then let
set for 1 hour. Truly tasty at the time.
I hate the taste of Jello now; but love the memories.
Wistfully,

A question I'm happy to answer. This year is the first year I'm having
Thanksgiving dinner at our house. And the first year that SO and the
kids and I are going to be together for it. I'm really excited. The
kids are going to help with dinner. Ham, cranberries, orange jello w/
mandarin oranges, sweet potatoes with marshmallow on top, au gratin
potatoes, pumpkin pie... I'm so excited. They're excited, too, to be
able to help out!

I have a similar story, but it was for a friend's bachelor party,
it was whipped cream, and she had a Tigger tattoo on her left breast
-k. and my husband paid for it
