Thanksgiving was great!

[Tom Kitten]

During dinner with my parents I learned that illegal Mexicans taking our jobs have prevented me from getting a job, people on social security spend their money on drugs and have to get food stamps in order to eat; the War on Christmas has pretty much succeeded because all they see on TV or hear from people is "Happy Holidays"...

Six hours with this and is it not any wonder I consider myself half baked crazy???

1. My dear Tom Kitten!

The things you have to endure in order to have a good meal...

I'm so sorry, sweetie...

And, BTW, you are not half baked crazy!

I think you're doing well under the circumstances!

:hug:

2. Dear Peggy

Happy belated birthday by the way and it's just the way I feel sometimes...

4. I fully understand your feelings!

And thank you for the birthday wishes...

I had a great day!

3. Ugh... advice... Stop torturing yourself and stay home for T-Day next year!

Start your own traditions and have friends over instead!

Sorry you had to deal with all that. You're a trooper!

You can't pick your family but you can pick your friends! ;)

5. Good advice!

I did manage to quiet Dad down for awhile, Mom just voiced disagreement under her breath...Did I mention Dad re-registered as a Republican just so he could for Sarah Palin? I did not bring this bullshit up because Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time of giving thanks and I do love my Mom and Dad whatever...

6. I have relatives that should be smart enough to know better

and yet they believe that shit too. :(

Family is a birth defect, but it's one you can leave behind if necessary.

7. I hear you

I could be so mean and sarcastic but they're my Mom and Dad...I just have to put up with them and when they leave this mortal coil I will be full of grief and sorrow because I do love them dearly...
