DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 20
Happy November TGIF! Today folks we have 20 days until Thanksgiving remaining. Yeah. The big 20. And our next milestone won’t happen for another 10 days. That’s half of what is left of our countdown and it will be the “Home Stretch” till Thanksgiving. Need I really say more at this point? It’s Friday so we don’t have a theme really on Fridays in this thread. And maybe that’s the way we’ll go into next year’s thread as well. I’m thinking of sticking with the Mon-Thu lineup we have and continuing it into next year’s thread. Anyway, let’s not worry about that thread. Let’s worry about this one. But as always, if anyone has any suggestions feel free to message me about it. Rich invented Tom Turkey Day and also gave me a couple of polls I’ve used in the past. But if you’re here just to relax and enjoy the turkey countdown that’s ok with me too. It’s been a fun year so far but we still have 20 days to go in this thread. And that’s still a big chunk when you think about it. It’s basically 1/18th of this thread. So that’s still a nice slice left. And speaking of slice maybe apple pie, cheesecake or something else for Thanksgiving desert? Just saying. Keep it going turkey fans all Friday long and into your weekend. Be glad we’re where we are without the pressure yet of Thanksgiving week. Have a great November TGIF!

I've got the best Thanksgiving news that I could share on here in many years.
My Dad is going out of town on the "actual" Thanksgiving Thursday. Which means that we don't have to deal with "forced family fun time" until Sunday the 27th. Guys, that's just a normal day on the calendar. Even if it ends up being a crappy day where I am in a bad mood because of the people I am forced to be around, I can live with it much easier knowing that they didn't "take" my "Good" Thanksgiving.
Actual Thanksgiving will be held on Thursday and I will be able to split the time between my Grandma's house and my in-laws house. Both places that I would much rather be at. So this was an unexpected blessing.
I wish @The_Escalation was here on the boards to read this post. I remember him being able to relate to me a few years back when we talked about how awkward family moments can really threaten to ruin / dampen the Holidays....
Have a great day, friends!

We always have pumpkin pie and cheesecake. My BIL's mother also makes these awesome brownies with cream cheese...so good!
I'm happy for you my friend. Enjoy!
Good question, I have wondered the same thing.
So glad that you don't have to deal with your dad et al on Thanksgiving.
Good point! I don’t get the PCBs like many others do, but it is definitely a low key week. It would probably be the same and I certainly wouldn’t miss Thanksgiving decor as much as I miss Chrismas’.
I appreciate and like most of my family but there is a saying "You can choose your friends but you can't choose your family." And yet sometimes you feel obligated to be with people you don't want to be with or don't get along with.
Probably so!
Your wish is granted! And that IS great news, man. I might have some great news of my own as we get closer to Thanksgiving. All I can say is that the holiday is so much more enjoyable when you get to spend it with the people you WANT to be around, not the ones you're forced to tolerate.
To some, I know that's going to sound harsh, but Snake and I both have our share of "Dad stories" (or "Dad-in-law stories")...and they usually don't end well.
Anyway, I know I've had a prolonged absence from MMC, and it's been a crazy couple of weeks. I'll explain everything in another thread later, but right now I am exhausted. The good news is that I think the worst is over, and I'll be back to my regular daily visits starting on Monday!
Welcome back to the boards! If this was a "physical place" you would have no shortage of people lined up wanting to give you hugs and high fives. We hate to see a "regular" be absent, even if it is a little bit. But life and family is first, and everyone understands!
Well spoken. I think everyone has "that part of the family" whether they admit to it or not.
I love my Dad, with all my heart. I try and help him as much as I can through our daily lives whether it be work or chores, or if his garage backs up with projects and he needs an extra set of hands to help him get something back to a customer.
But he picks some "interesting" people to hang around, and by extension have people over to the house for what IMO should be straight family time. I was always proud of myself for never indulging in drinking or drugs growing up. I will crack the occasional bottle of wine to celebrate something, and once I got so drunk on Christmas eve with my Step Father, that I actually felt "ashamed" because it was Christmas Eve, and not because my Mother or anyone else was scolding me.
Now that I have a child of our own, I think it is more important than ever to make sure that we are keeping her around good company. I am going to try my best to set a good example, something I never really had growing up.
I think you can love your family but not want to be around them if they exhibit toxic traits, and that is where I have been for many years, and I think that is just "magnified" now that I will soon have an impressionable set of eyes and ears. My wife just pointed out how different just "next" Thanksgiving will be - Abby will most likely be walking by then, and while maybe not talking, she will definitely be more aware.
Anyway guys, sorry to get the thread off course a little bit.
Good Saturday Morning!
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 19
Happy November Weekend! Today folks we have 19 days remaining until Thanksgiving. And that is the only count we have left here on this weekend. Our next milestone will be in 9 days. The good news is that it won’t happen this weekend or even next week(end) either. That gives us time to prepare for our final milestone leading up to the big day. It will be the Home Stretch Till Thanksgiving. Unreal folks. I really mean it. And it’s our next stop. Halloween has passed us (sadly) and Christmas is still 50 days away. So our next big holiday of the “Big 3” we talk about at this site is coming sooner than any of the others. It’s almost the time for Thanksgiving to get its turn and rightfully so. Now for all you turkey fans out there I hope you are happy being in OUR month of November. It’s been awesome here this first week so far being in it. I do miss Halloween as you know but it’s hard to get too sad about it when we’re here in a great month now with the greatest day of the year ahead of us later this month. And now we’re at the point where we try to drag our feet. How about we do that this weekend and let it last longer than it normally does? Weekends do go too fast don’t they? Soon we’ll be preparing here for Thanksgiving but right now we’re just trying to enjoy our weekend one step at a time. And I hope you all do the same as well. Have a great November Weekend!

Sign me up for the feet dragging!
Happy Saturday everyone! Turned out to be a good morning temp wise..unfortunately I decided to fill my buck tag this morning so we gotta rush the processing today. We finally got our Butterballs..WalMart got in a fresh shipment.
On a serious note: Thanksgiving is almost here again! This is my yearly "ledge" post that seems quite common here. We made it through the winter,the sweatfest of summer, changing of leaves of fall and into a few short weeks till the cutting of the turkey. I have no idea where the fall went to.
We got confirmation yesterday that Thanksgiving will just be the three of us. I can now finalize what I'll be making and baking and what I still need to buy. The biggest being what size standing rib roast I need for the prime rib.
