Thanksgiving dinner, for me, was cheese and crackers followed by a bowl of soup.  All accompanied by a fine cranberry juice and Diet Sierra Mist cocktail!

now my heart hurts

Why?  I turned down three invitations so I could just sit back and relax.  I did manage to get dressed, but just barely.

Ok I feel a little better -it made me sad to think we were feasting and you were eating crackers and sipping cranberry juice

Cranberry and Sierra Mist is the only thing I drink other than water and coffee.

no fresh squeezed apple cider?

Nope, I have kind of gotten away from apple juice or apple cider.  It bothers my stomach sometimes.

OH Elton John is on my local PBS station

[vixmom]

I wonder if any video will be recorded for educational purposes.....

I hope so.  I know several educators who would like to evaluate it.

Beteen 97 and 140 million shoppers today!

[vixmom]

I keep wondering why TCB is not at the theatre   I keep forgetting the 3 hour time difference

[vixmom]

Beteen 97 and 140 million shoppers today!

and that was just at the mall down the block from my house

[TCB]

40 Billion will be spent this weekend!

Ginny, I forgot to ask, what is cranberry fluff?

[Laura]

... but I thought the outside-the-bird portion was a lot better than the stuffed portion; the latter became mushier and less appealing than I like.  But this was my first time trying that, so I don't know if that's because I'd moistened it too much beforehand, or whatever.

You can't put very much broth in the stuffing before you put it in the bird because it absorbs a lot of the yummy turkey liquid as it cooks inside the turkey.

DR ryacko what is the play that Brian Dennehy is in?  It isn't BARRYMORE is it?

No, Dennehy is in an Irish play called  THE STEWARD OF CHIRSTENDOM.
My friend Gordon Goodman was in BARRYMORE, which I saw on Sunday.

Ginny, I forgot to ask, what is cranberry fluff?

Not exactly sure, DR Vixmom.  It seemed to have mini marshmallows, cranberries, chopped nuts, and, maybe, Cool Whip.  There was LOTS of it, too.

[Laura]

What a busy day. I slept in until 8:30 -- unheard of for me unless I am ill. I woke up with just enough time to get dressed and make a cup of coffee before a knock on the door revealed two young ladies who were very excited to be helping to cook a turkey.

Mae-Ling made the stuffing while Wae-Ling and I wrestled with the turkey. Wae-Ling thinks it is the coolest thing EVER to get her hands inside the turkey to pull out the neck and giblets. She set those to cooking and then stuffed the turkey with Mae-Ling's dressing. While it cooked, we watched "The Music Man."

When dinner was served, Mae-Ling only ate mashed potatoes, corn casserole, and apple pie. Wae-Ling ate all the turkey and dressing and gravy she could hold.

A poorly written cranberry.

[TCB]

Okay.   Later!

sounds good!

[vixmom]

can't wait to hear the full report!

[Laura]

Break a leg, TCB!

[Ginny]

And what am I doing on Black Friday evening, you ask?  Baking pumpkin pies!

[Cillaliz]

sorry vixmom it was on abc   typing one handed with a cat on my lap

[Ginny]

Watching Barbra on PBS...

[Cillaliz]

Ricky and I are watching the National Dog Show.  I recorded it and don't know who won, so don't tell me!

[Jane]

Good morning, all! I slept in: no matter how tired I was when I got home, I could not get to sleep. I watched a bit of the TNT "Castle" marathon, read a bit, and finally dozed off.

Today, I've got to finish up some Moross work, drag out the full scores of ROBERTA and start marking my edits.

DR cillaliz, I'm glad your sister-in-law came down on your side over your brother's aqua madness, and I'm happy you had a good day.

To work! More coffee, first!

Thanks Elmore.  It really was nice to see everyone and I really like Adam's girlfriend, Katie.  She's very down to earth and fit in well with everyone

Nice.

[Jane]

DR Cillaliz, one of the things I'm most thankful for is that your day turned out so much better than you expected.

Ginny, how sweet.  Thank you.   Gabe reported to his grandpa that "Last night Cill and I watched animals singing on the computer and we laughed hilariously"  Not bad for a 6 year old.   

[Jane]

DR Ginny, get your butt to a phone now and call your doctor about those damned nosebleeds.

This minute, Missy.

Please do, Ginny - we love you!

DITTO!!!

[Jane]

OK, DRs Elmore and TCB, I have an appointment next Thursday with my doctor.

HooraY!  Please keep all your blood inside you until then

  I hope something can be done to stopped this from happening again.

My dad has an ancient computer that takes what seems like weeks to load any images.  I've been listening to family members say for years that they are going to get him set up with a new one.  But it never seems to happen. Today I told him to sit down and we were going to go on Amazon and computer shop. All he does is internet and email and a few photos.    We found one, and in checking out, I discovered he hasn't used the gift certificates we've been giving him for years.   He had over $181.00 in gift certificates credit!  He just wanted a basic desktop, so he's got a new one coming for $148!  That price was enough for him to get very excited about it.   Me too!

Funny he had all those gift certificates and great you finally put them to good use.

I think you were wise to stay home.  I was rather sick last night from eating too much and I didn't get much sleep.

I also have trouble with juice.

Did their father join you for dinner?
