Theresa... No black or white Friday for me.  Never have, never will. 


Lets talk NY.   I lived  in Bayshore and Brentwood Long Island for 3 yrs.  Love NYC... it was loads of fun taking the long island expressway into the City.   Young enough to get in trouble.. :)     And to have a ball. 


Never went to the Macys day Parade, but did shoppe in Macys alot.

The Turkey fryer story is great, I am still laughing. I have known a few people in my life that have tried to fry a turkey in the garage. One person did not have a pulley system set up to take the turkey out of the hot oil. I think they had to call the fire department because they started a fire.


KX viewer, I also don’t travel, that is why I started this thread. We are five lonely people here in Minot. My family is in New York, my spouse his family is in Texas.


 I used to go to the Macy’s day parade every year. The train ride into the city was always so much fun, even though it was only 20 minutes. The best was the hot Chocolate and hot chestnuts from the street venders. I always remember the Snoopy float; it is always a staple of the parade. Then we would go home, Care I know what you are talking about with a mother with a hangover. Maybe we should start an ACOA (Adult Children of Alcoholics) thread for the holidays.


 Thanksgiving was always a fun time.


Who is going shopping on Black Friday? Who has a good story there, I have a ton.  I was talking to someone the other day, how in 1987 I stood in a line for 13 hours just for a chance to get a Cabbage Patch Kid. Only people with tickets were allowed to go into the parking lot to stand and weight for a helicopter to drop 300 cabbage patch kids. There had to be 500 people, I jumped over someone to get one then I tackled it and held it like a football close to my body. The funny thing is I did not even have any girls, it was for me.

That is incorrect. Jesus was not a liberal. He was a conservative. It is impossible to be both a liberal and a Christian because every liberal value is the exact oposite of the Bible and the Ten Commandments. That is why Democrats only go to church for photo ops. Reply...

Wuwei......Ah yes....home for the holidays.  That was our Christmas growing up....Mother was always "sick" (hungover) on Xmas morning....we would open presents but couldn't run around all happy with them.  I have to say though since joining my hubby's family.......Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter.....all very fun, relaxed and happy family oriented holidays.  My kids will have a lot of good childhood memories on that front.




Si....my problem with cooking in the oven is constantly wanting to open the door, check things out etc.....which isn't good because heat escapes...temp goes down and messes with cook time.  That Turkey that the oven was off the entire time....was the first time I FORCED myself not to open it for the first 3 or so hours.....I could have kicked myself in the arse for not doing my usual and opening the door about a thousand times in the first hour...LOL!

Shoppe...true story!  After posting...I told my hubby that Theresa started this thread....he just busted out laughing...he said you told the deep fryer story didn't you?  I started laughing and said of course....then he preceded to tell ME the entire story......LOL!!!  Hilarious! Reply...

Theresa (since I am not speaking to KXvuhur)...


I always cook,  always,  we don't go anywhere... my 3 kids are always there and now my new daughter in law (vegetarian).. but she will eat chicken/turkey...


Usually do lots of baking,   brownies, 2 pumpkin pies, apple.. all fresh from scratch of course.  


Lasagna the day before, since everyone loves it , and so easy to  grab as a leftover. 


Turkey day is turkey/ ham.... oddles of food, salads,  stuff.... eat too much,  watch too much football, look at old black and whites, and laugh alot.  


Love Thanksgiving, you don't have to worry about if someone likes their present or not.. :)


very relaxing day.   My one son likes to go with a church group every year and play some football.   Visit friends.  He is the single one..


I don't decorate for thanksgiving.... but decorate a lot for Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving!  Since being with my husband, we go to his folks.  My MIL can cook very very well.  I usually do the dishes after....she loves that I wash 'em for her, by hand.  She just got an entire new kitchen...top to bottom, just before Easter.  So this year she is excited to have her new kitchen for Thanksgiving....I can't wait because she got a DISHWASHER, and the model isn't a CARE......I will load it for her though!!!  There are always bowls of munchies on every table...the black olives are the first bowl to go empty.

Ok you wanted a story......A few years back my FIL got a turkey deep fryer.  He read the instructions for about a second and then preceded to set everything up....jugs and jugs of oil was needed.  The fryer was out in the garage. Keep in mind my father in law was born in '38, his wife, she was born in'58. (She is only a few years older than my hubby.)  My FIL...doesn't always have a sense of humor...while me my hubby, MIL, huibbys bro and his wife...we all have a great sense of humor!!!  Anyway back to talking turkey....the deep fryer was doing its thing getting hot and all.  Hours went by.....my MIL had all the sides ready....we usually eat around 2 or so...and now its like 4, everyone is starving...My FIL...keeps checking the thermometer....FINALLY.....the thermometer reads whatever temp he read about in the instructions....YEA....turkeys done....My MIL and I were in the kitchen window watching the guys in the garage.....OMG OMG OMG....My FIL pulls out the turkey...I'm not kidding either...that thing was soooo black and charred...and it shrunk right up to half its size. We all just fell over laughing.  He was so pizzed, not impressed at all by the rest of us laughing so hard. Apparently the thermometer was suppose to be in the turkey...not the oil??? Or the other way around maybe, he brought it up to 400 degrees...hahahahahah!!!!  Can you say CHARRED???   We were all sitting at the table and he actually put that crispy burnt bird on a platter and preceded to carve it!!!!  All of us adult children...kept looking at each other, none of us saying a word. We were absolutely dying inside....imagine everyone sitting around the table with NO EXPRESSION, and just eyes shifting back and forth to one another....hahahahahahah!!!!

Ok one more....a couple of years ago my in laws went to Ireland of the holiday.  I bought all the fixings invited my brother over...everything going like clockwork....finally 3 1/2 hours go by...I open the oven door....nothing...no heat...raw bird!  I had set the oven and the timer...then went to change a setting and cancelled the WRONG button...I had shut of the oven completely!  We waited and waited for this bird and the darn oven had been off the whole time.  Best darn mashed potatoes we'd had in years.....

← Usually does not celebrate the holiday, due to driving to far in inclimatic weather usually.  Any cold holidays is well spent at home if you compare it to sitting stuck in snow or car problems, if you have long distance to drive. Reply...

Then I guess that starts with  you and me.   Its not always easy,  but we can sure sin a lot less if we try hard enough.


Pastors (and congregations) that sin are what causes most people to not want to join a church.  Or become a Christian.


I will ask something on this post that I saw on facebook today:


If you are a Christian say so, here and now..


Say it loud.

I am a christian and Love the Lord.   vivian

neither, shopp, I am just showing everyone that I am a  person who was saved by grace and that just because I am saved doesn't mean I am perfect.


I also wanted to say that I don't make excuses, justify or compromise. If its wrong its wrong, if its sin its sin. Too many times Christians put on this fake show and behind the scenes they are worse then those who don't even serve God. Ask any PK (Preachers Kid) and they will give you an ear-full.


I just try to keep everything as real as possible. By doing that I think it is offensive to the fakers. I have been in churches where the Pastor was addicted to pain killers, instead of admitting it and seeking prayer he hid it, justified it, and made excuses for it. I've been in churches where Pastors would purposely preach warm fuzzys to a person because he tithed 1100 a month. He compromised telling the truth so as to not offend "Brother Bone"


cause if he left the church the doors would shut. Thats what the scripture means when it talks about tickling the ears. I was told  that if I didn't expose (speak out and against) some things I would have been given my own ministry in the church. So you see the church is in bad bad shape and I ain't down for it. If your doing things in the dark I am going to expose it with a flashlight. I know there are two main things that causes a Pastor to fall.....one is sex and the other is money. Those two appeal to the flesh and those are usually the ones that bring them down. I do not wish that on anyone, it causes many to lose faith and many leave the church because of it. The reason why the churches aren't packed out is because of the Christians. Its because unbelievers see the hypocrisy in it and don't want anything to do with Christianity. They see the greed, they see the fakeness, they see the compromise, they see the excuses. Until Christians start living the life instead of playing the part nothing will change.

What if someone is an idiot? Is it a sin to call him/her one? I don't think it is a sin to call a cigar a cigar. Reply...
