We have toast and popcorn, c'mon over!
Happy Thanksgiving (and why do I feel vaguely guilty that I didn't wish the same a few weeks ago when the Canadians went at it?) to those affected. Wishing a lovely day to those not so affected.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Happy Thanksgiving, Pleiades!
You too, wrongyhead! This is my second Thanksgiving this year. Fewer than last year. Last year we had... four. Four Thanksgiving dinners in two countries.
I need to make of the cranberry sauce now. Once my coffee is finished.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I hope you're at least having a turkey sandwich to celebrate antipodally, bt.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Turkey is cooking, sides are being prepped, and I'm lounging on the couch. K-Bug and her boyfriend have taken over the kitchen.
I am thankful for all my friends here, you have kept me sane, made me laugh, made me cry, and supported me, invisibly and visibly. Again, I thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving, all. I am so glad to have this board and the people on it in my life.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Stuffed whole chicken for us. For the local occupy kids: Turkey, 2 pumpkin pies, cranberry sauce and instead of stuffing curried couscous with chickpeas, sunflower seeds, onions, peppers and raisins - high protein one dish meal for vegans and vegetarians, nice side dish for carnivores and omnivores.
For us whole chicken, low sugar cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts. (We like chicken better than turkey anyway.)

Happy Thanksgiving, my Buffistas! I truly am so thankful for all of you.
We're about to head out to my aunt and uncle's house to chow down. My aunt is an excellent cook, so when people ask what they can bring, she tells them "wine." She makes damn near everything else.
Fortunately, I am good at bringing wine! I also made an apple crisp, so that there would be a gluten-free dessert I could eat. My brother is bringing a case of Alchemist beer -- I imagine there will be a toast to the dearly departed brewpub -- and he brought home a bunch of really good Vermont cheese in an insulated bag. My belly is ready.

Always Anti-fascist!
I didn't mean to say I don't care if I hurt your feelings, ita. Because I think we're friends. The issue of what we talk about on the board is connected, of course, but seperate. If you told me, personally, that I said something that you thought was gross, it's not like I value free speech more than your opinion.
