No connection to Daniel Boone that I know of and I would be shocked if I have any Native American blood. Shockingly white - dominated by English and Dutch.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have to carol outside in about an hour. I am supposed to dress "festively". The warmest red or green thing I have is a pajama top. I'm wearing it.
Wearing it over your coat? Because that sounds like a plan.
Festive warm pajama top! Awesome!
Note to self: do not take 3+ hour nap after eating kadai chicken and veggie curry. I haven't had heartburn this bad in quite some time.
Family Thanksgiving was great yesterday. One of my youngest second cousins put on an impromptu singing recital for the crowd, and over 2/3 of the apple pie I baked was eaten.
No, it will be under the coat. I figure that's about as much as they can expect from me.
You could wrap it around your head.
Posted because my analyst is out today:
So, my one sister was spending her Thanksgiving at her in-laws, and my other sister made plans to go on vacation this weekend, so it was just me and my Mom for Thanksgiving yesterday. I took the bus to NJ to my Mom’s, where she had made reservations for the two of us at a nearby restaurant.
As we were waiting for our food, my sister calls, and it turns out, my sister never went away on vacation. She had invited my Mom and I to her place, but my Mom declined, without telling me. She unilaterally decided that I wouldn’t want to go, and I wouldn’t have found out if my sister hadn’t called.
Not really my Mom’s fault, but the food was terrible. The turkey was dry and bland. Bleah.
During dinner, we had this conversation:
Mom: So have you talked to your father recently?
Me: No.
Mom: Why not?
Me: Because I don’t like him.
Mom: Why don’t you ?
Me: Because he abused me growing up.
Mom: (confused) He never beat you or anything.
Me: What he did was just as bad as beating me.
Mom: Did he berate you, the way he did your sister?
Me: (getting peeved) You were there.
I have no idea why I should be surprised, but the level of denial on my Mom’s really floored me. My analyst keeps encouraging me to confront my parents, to tell them how I feel, and I had a prime opportunity yesterday, but I didn’t. I shut the conversation down like I usually do. I was pissed, but I held everything in.
In short, worst Thanksgiving ever.
Argh, Tom, that's miserable and frustrating.
In short, worst Thanksgiving ever.
I don't know - it sounds like you broached the subject with your mom more than you have before. You haven't punched your dad (therapeutically) in the face yet, but you're allowing yourself to be angry at them which you didn't use to do.
