Beverly is wise.
Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating. Happy Thursday to everyone.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My father just came in, looking rather confused, and said, "Mom said to ask you where the sudoku knife is."
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, Buffistae!!
I've got one thing left to do before hieing over to the daughter's, an asparagus mushroom puff pastry. Then, a stop at Starbuck's on the way for foofy coffee. I'm taking a bottle of Fernet with me, it will be interesting to see what the family thinks about it. I've told my dad and brother it's sort of in the same family as Jagermeister, which they don't care for. Heh. More for me, then.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

See, this is what I thought would happen when I introduced y'all to it, and yet you took to it like white on rice. Freaks. (I kid, I kid.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
NoiseDesign, I hope you got some relief. I've found doing some back/shoulder stretching helps my occassional pain. I suggest getting a foam roll pillow and lying down on it, centered on your spine with your arms spread (Jesus pose). It's been no end of help with my shoulder issues.
That and drugs.

Thrive to spite them
Thanksgiving was had. Only a few teary moments, my cousin who I dind't think was going to come over (due to his family commitments) came and it was nice. He's the peditrician (or My Cousin the Doctor) and he played with my nephew. He's good with babies.
Dinner was. omigod. Everything was great. The Cranberry Tangerine Conserve I thought I messed it up, but we added some white sugar and water, thinned it out, and then finished it off with fresh tangerine juice. There was almost none left.
Usualy the cranberry stuff is the main left over.
People brought more than I thought they would/ And in a Thanksgiving miracle one aunt had 2 folding tables we could use. We needed them.
We had for main dishes -- Baked Quail with Potatoes, Fried Turkey, Roasted Chicken with Sausage Stuffing/Dressing, Spiral Cut Ham. Gravy
Sides: Maple Glazed Carrots, Stuffed Acorn Squash, Sweet Potato Casserole (two kinds since two people brought them), Green Beans, Creamed Corn, Ambrosia, Waldorf Salad, Fresh Navel Orange Slices (from my uncle's orange tree), Potato Rolls, Brown N Serve Rolls, Dressing, Cranberry Tangerine Conserve.
I think I forgot something.
Dessert: Sweet Potato Pie and Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Thanks for all the birthday wishes, y'all. I am currently in Arkansas with the in-laws.
ND, Mr. Jane has recently pinched a nerve in his back. The doctor gave him pain killers and anti-inflammatories. The only thing that really seems to be working though is one of those excersise machines that flip you upside down.
We have had a stressfull past few days. Mr. Jane's back, and then Monday our oldest dog started having seizures. Tuesday she had 4. The vet has her on medication that seems to be helping, so keep your fingers crossed for her.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
ugh, ND, sorry about the back crap. It's so... life-interfering. I hope it's easing up on you.
Dinner is done and I am itching to go back home. I am just never really comfortable in my parents' house- there is just way too much stuff and way too much mess. We'll leave tomorrow morning- my mom has to work so it doesn't much matter when we leave.
I got an awesome guilt trip by the master today though- my grandmother, while giving directions to drive her home, responded to my reassurances that I knew where I was with "Well, it's been so long since you've been here, I didn't know if you still knew the way." Heh. Well played, Grandma. Well played.
One of my parents' cats is really sweet and adorable and snuggly- the other one tended toward grabbing my ankle with his claws and biting me on the shin when I wasn't paying sufficient attention to him. He was very aggressively affectionate before he sacked out in his rocking chair. I kept calling them both Taz all day though. I miss my guy!
Alrighty, that's enough rambling- time to go to sleep soon! Did I say soon? I meant now.
