3 hours ago, PrettyDeadThings said:My husband rarely takes time off...I can't stress how big of a workaholic he is, and I'm good with that. I like my space, so seeing him 4 days a month is great for me. We aren't needy people. It's why we've been married 24 years, if I had to see him every day I'd pull my hair out lol. Thanksgiving is the one holiday he loves, so this week becomes his “holiday season” for the entire year. He’ll be home for five days, which means all of our festive traditions need to happen now. During this week, he’ll open his Christmas gifts, enjoy both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, and finish his Christmas shopping. His whole family is here, along with mine and his closest friends from Seattle.
Only four days a month? Is he a pirate?? 
Thanksgiving is great, but you’ve gotta teach him the ways of Christmas. Maybe you should 'accidentally' push him down the stairs this weekend so he can’t board a ship again until after the Christmas holidays.

On November 30th, the day before he returns to work, we’ll celebrate together: he’ll open his gifts, we’ll go ice skating (its a tradition for us), finish up the last of the shopping, and visit Krampus (its something he does for me), and then Santa.
Turkey - Tomorrow.
Sunday - Lamb/Lobster/Crab (he loves lamb, and I love seafood)
Aww that’s really sweet. Please tell me you two hold hands while ice skating and have the 'NO PUSHING' rule? You guys are adorable. 
Bonus points for Krampus.
Celtics - Pistons is cooking

Almost 7 hours of cooking, and now I have a pinched nerve in the neck, lower back pain and zero desire to do anything other then sit down and avoid food

Does the 7 hours of cooking include prep time?
This lecture and the previous one (#21 about the Roman empire) is amazing re-evaluation of Jesus/Christianity from more objective historical perspective.
I like how he depicts the Roman empire as actually being an "evil empire"- rich but too barbaric, corrupt, hedonistic, and oligarchical. Practical but lacking in artistic and cultural value for its size, especially compared to ancient Greece. He also connects Rome's legacy to American culture & empire which has similar problems..
Begs to question why so many people on the alt- right are interested in admiring the Romans these days including Zuckerberg..
She has a business as a personal trainer- but she has been abusing steroids for years. After years of steroid abuse, these women tend to have ultra muscular bodies but their face ages 10-15+ years more than their real age. It destroys the point of using steroids to become more attractive. Sure they are striking from the neck down (often in not a good way) but the face is always the most important part. The whole subculture is pretty odd. They can also become infertile and their voices deepen along with the change of their bone structure and features.
not only that but is an expensive activity- they have to exercise a lot everyday, eat a lot of food that usually doesn't taste good and generally speaking become enslaved to their own bodies.

And for me and a few other friends and family who really don't like Lamb

The reason I don't let others help me cook.... I'm super picky about food, and I don't like cooking around other people. Get out of my kitchen and let me be.
Next year... Taste of Japan and South Korea.
I've already told my family I'm not doing traditional Thanksgiving. I want Karaage, Sushi, Ramen and Curry.

Wow what a spread! The only things that wouldn't be on my plates are deviled eggs, potato salad, and fried green tomatoes.
The Christmas dinner spread is good too.
Japanese & Korean Thanksgiving sounds good. Japanese curry is more of a sweet curry rather than savory in addition to being brown.

Have you seen this? NGL, I teared up. This feels like growing up in my house.
No preachy BS, nothing woke. It's about damn time.

No I haven't. It's a really wholesome family commercial.
