Yo, bizzles!
Had a good Thanksgiving at the Daughter's Grandparent's house.
Funny, went out to the garage with her gramps and he showed me a wheelchair they bought for 96 yr old family member.
Me: "Hey, that's an Invacare Tracer EX-5 Heavy Duty chair, made in 2008" – upon sight. Proceeded to show him things he didn't know about the chair, explained he bought an $800 chair for $29.99
I'm the man.
Him: "What's wrong with the brakes on your Jeep?"
Me: "Hell if I know..."
Many laughs all around. Good Day. You know what you work with, I guess. He gave me a number to a mechanic that fixes **** at $10/hr so long as you bring the parts. lol. Aint barterin' great?
Got the parts online today for under $100 when I was quoted almost $500 at a "service center" a few weeks ago.
Packers season is over, lol. Cowboys may make the playoffs so we can all watch Romo choke again.
Gooood morning everyone! Here's hoping all had a great T-Day with friends and family. Food was great, football was good and the leftovers are calling!
I am Caucasian, Can I buy stuff on Black Friday????
A Happy Biddle Thanksgiving to everyone!
Once you Go Pack, You never go Back. Have a Good one Bro.
TURRABBLE–pass the gravy, plz.
WAKE UP you SLACKERS-–It's time to get that kitchen MESSY. Gotta bake a couple pies,and get The Turkey Princess prepped for her Peanut Oil bath. Just remember--DO NOT PANIC. Enjoy BIRD Day.
I am wakey, just need some bacey! Didn't see an email my friend?? We are home this weekend with a repaired clothes drier, someone is running out of clean unnerwears and it ain't me! ha ha
Stay calm and turkey on! You deep frying yours?? Never had that...yet. Vons is making ours, should be ready by 11ish. Time for some biscuits 'n gravy.
I actually sent you 2…..But,whose counting??? You can pick up some unnerwears at Vonn's. Yep, I picked up a ButterBall machine like Kat used last year….fingers crossed and toes too.
YESSSSSSSS!!!!! Lemme know how that works out!
make sure the fire dept is on speed dial please...pictures or it doesn't count! :D
Soooo, I'm looking at the Games we will be watching on Turkey Day--First up Green Bay vs Detroit, This should be THE Game tomorrow. The Pack @ The Lions….Hmmmm, Home field advantage should go to the Lions, BUT…I'm going with THE PACK,'cuz I hate watching my Bro Sir Biddle drinking straight from the Scotch Bottle. Remember,The Lil' Biddles are watching….I got your 6 Bro…
Next Up….Oakland Raiders vs Dallas Cowboys-just in time for Turkey Dinner. Wait a minute–Oakland has a Football Team???? OK, Even though this is Tazer Warrior Princess's Favorite team..( she WON the punt,pass and kick competition as a young warrior ),and I'll probably get a Spanking with a rolled up Watch Tower Newspaper…( Me Likey ), Sorry Babe…Cowboy's BIG Time on this one.
Last we go to PeeeeeetsBurgh vs Baltimore. The triptophan will have kicked in by then……Snooooooozer. Baltimore !!
Moderated….was it something I said ? Do the NY Giants Suck? YES…….
Thank You Kitten….
Ooof - we got BURIED under hundreds of spam comments. May take a while to dig out!
Well,Yours truly learned a valuable lesson today……DON'T visit WallyWorld the day before Thanksgiving to pick up your last minute items. It was a MADHOUSE……gives a whole new meaning to BAH HUMBUG. Just wanted to give a shout out to my East coast Family ( a nod to KAT, SLT,Mary Shanon, and Ms. Grammar ),stay warm Ladies, throw another log on the fire,Grab a couple Furries,or your favorite lap Dog,or in Truths case–Lap Cat and stay warm. It's gonna hit 54 degrees tomorrow here in Katy,with Sunshine…HA !! I believe JBJ is in Washington with the Kidz and Grandkidz…( You owe me an E-mail BFF ) and hope you all Have a Wonderful Turkey Day. Football, Great Food, Friends and alcohol are planned for tomorrow. Enjoy and be SAFE ALL.
Thanks and the same back at you, sweet thang! (((HUGS!)))
Same to you, enjoy your deep fried turkey, and be safe!!
Tomorrow, when you are serving your family turkey, will you also have some satisfaction knowing that you are giving them the bird?

Excellent ti tle.
And the song ain't too bad either.
Hi all. Today was busy, car dealer, lunch with cousins then visit with Dad. Tomorrow I will be hunkering down, sleeping in and trying to stay warm and dry during the storm.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Sometimes you need a crappy team to steamroll to get your mojo back.
Does the crappy team you refer to happen to be the Washington Four skins?
You know it.
I'm off tomorrow, so I wanted to wish all my Klatscher friends the happiest of Thanksgivings. Be safe if you're on the road, rails, or airlines.
Don't Cremate the Turkey, and enjoy your Family. Have a good one.
Dang, I can't win for losing. I just found out if I smoke Tom Turkey this year, it will cost me $ 3,000.00 more on Obamacare--so I'm gonna FRY his AZZ. Take THAT Obozo. Nah,Nah.
Just 1 question.
How were you going to get it lite?
er, i mean lit.
HMMMM,Good question. Perhaps an Natural Gas enema,or an M80 firecracker left over from July 4th. That should do it.
Question #2: where ya gonna find papers that big?
I still have that album, complete with giant rolling paper!
Good morning. Nice quiet but chilly morning here.
Yes, sad for NY and Denver but there's always a loser.
Enjoy the week!
Hello Klatschkies! I'm still hanging around, even though my Thanksgiving break has been minimized greatly from what I first thought it was.
Good morning all, and Happy Thanksgiving week! May we all take some time to reflect on all the blessings in our lives and spend some time with those we love.
And for you shoppers out there, this is always what comes to my mind when I hear about the day after Thanksgiving. One of my favorite bands...
