I have no idea how well this will work but as a good percentage of my readers come from the U.S. I thought I’d try something new.
Many of you are spending the day with family eating traditional Thanksgiving fare. Today this blog is your retreat from the festivities. Want to rant about that one relative who always wants to turn family reunions into political debates? Got a funny story about the kids or pets in your life? Do you love this simulation as much as I do?
Consider this an open thread. Let’s talk about anything and everything!
Pros of big family Thanksgivings: 1) shooting trap at your uncle’s expense 2) $$$ to be made betting on ping pong 3) topics of religion/politics are generally left alone
Cons of said gathering: 1) profanity is generally frowned upon no matter what the financial stakes are on that last point in ping pong….
I’m giggling at the thought of anyone cussing at that particular dinner table. It would even weirder than someone cracking open a bottle of wine!
How much did you lose at ping pong? :O
