Plan something you can take with and sneak it into the movies in the evening? People go to the movies...I mean, I guess the question is, if you've spent from noon until dinnertime with them, why do they need to panic if y'all need to eat?? Alternately, don't go to a buffet, go somewhere you can take leftovers home, and then you and he can eat lightly and chow down later on leftovers?
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

[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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I will fully admit that this T-day bullshit is making me roll my eyes, because what's the point in going to see them for T-day if we are all doing our own thing for T-day "dinner?" I mean, I could make myself whatever in the peace and quiet of my home.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
bonny, she's a jumper. She is getting older (thirteen or so) but she's very always been small and agile.

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

Yep. The world is made of molasses. And I'm treading... molasses.

Fervent wishes for Bella's well-being smonster. And may the molasses thin such that life is sweet and easy to navigate.

Thanks. Therapy light should get here tomorrow. I have actual work I need to do that I haven't done.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

le n, my family is also big on just having a bunch of snacky stuff on hand during the holidays: cheese, crackers, hummus, chips, fruit, olives, baby carrots, stuff like that. Could you pick up a few simple items to bring with you? I like meara's movie idea too. Are you just going there for the day? If you'll be there the night before, you could get a big takeout meal so you'll have leftovers for the next night.
Also, I'm with you: one big meal at noon is never gonna be enough to keep me sated until bedtime.
smonster, sending you ~ma for Bella! I hope it's easily diagnosed and fixed. Poor kitty.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
le n, I would vote for either smonter's sandwiches in the evening or Kate's suggestion of hummus, cheese, etc, snacks set out to snack on as needed. We end up doing the opposite on Thanksgiving. We tend to eat around 4 or 5 but can't really wait that long between breakfast and dinner, so we do the hummus, olives, cheese, veggies, etc, set out from noon on so folks can graze if they get hungry.
