Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #171: On Turkeys.

Morning Lodge...I will spending Thanksgiving with the family. Our neighbor and 2 of her kids usually join us, but I'm not sure if she'll be back from visiting her other daughter in Switzerland yet...

Morning.

The gf and I will spend thanksgiving together. We picked up a 9 lb turkey to make. She is moving Dec 1, so the days off will be spent packing and cleaning.

Having the FIL, both parents, stepmum Bro, SIL and godmother to dinner. Used to have the whole family here but my cousin decided she wanted to do her family at her house (3 kids, their spouses GF and kids live 1+ hour away) and we could come if we want. Everyone else has the day off and the next day as well. I work on Black Friday. Mr works T-day late AM and my mother whines if she has to go within a mile of some of them so that was the end of our family getting together for anything. Always sweating that Mr would get out on time was why we started hosting. Listening to Mum complain from the minute the invitation came, driving 1+ hour there listening to why Mum didn't want to go, another 1+ hour back listening to the litany of how certain people are awful, why she didn't want to go but had to, to see us, was the unpleasant bonus.

Good Morning, Lodge!

I will be in Wisconsin for Thanksgiving. I have a craft fair down there with my mom that Saturday. Mr. wore Black has to work the day after Thanksgiving, so he will be up at his parent's. He is really thrilled about that. :rolleyes:

This poll sucks. I want to select "killing Bambi", even though we'll probably have enough hanging in the tree by then.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #171: On Turkeys.

One Thanksgiving tradition that sadly is no more was the parent/kid morning game.

For about 15 years members of my men's group would get the ice at 8 am and play a game of parents vs. the kids.

The majority of the adults at the time were at least 10 years older than me, so when I first started going, I didn't have a kid to bring along.

The first few years, the adults won pretty easily, but as the kids got bigger and better, I watched the adults (sans me and a couple others ;)) get older and slower. By the time my son was ready to join in around the squirt years, the games were really close and the better adults could no longer sandbag our playing like we used to to keep the games close.

The best moments were seeing my little guy playing on a team with kids of all my buddies who were a range all the way up through high school. He got a real kick out of scoring against us.


The kids won the last couple of games, but I think it was coincidence more than anything that it ended - many of the guys who used to organize it no longer play (aged out) or their kids are off to their own lives.

Too bad. It was fun to walk in the door at 10:00 am, smell the turkey and know that you'd already gotten a fun skate in - especially once I had my own kid along.


Wow. Melancholy just hit hard. ****... :(

So I think I have a concussion.. I've had a constant headache since my men's league game on Saturday night.. I didn't think I really got hit that hard, but who knows. I've been a bit groggy, tired, and had constant headaches for the last four days.

That sounds about right. Booze heavily, that'll solve it.

Well, don't do that. Just try not to get hit again. If it was a knock to the helmet, it's time to change out your helmet as it's been compromised.

Go get checked - no pun intended.


I was groggy and tired after mine but never really had headaches. Was spacey although my formative years' experiences allowed me to handle "spacey" relatively well.

Went back about a week before I was supposed to and sure as ****, first fricking shift, ran right into a teammate along the blue line while we were both trying to stay onside. I was whacked out for a good half hour, but you know, like a genius, just skated it off.

Been fine ever since. :D

Howdy, Loj.

Just got out of Expired Password Limbo. It's creepy in there, man.

T-day for us is going to the bro-in-law's. Somehow we got the tradition where I do all the dishes -- and I like it that way. You get to sit around and eat and drink all day, then right about the point where you've maybe had enough lively discussions you get to go off by yourself. And to top it off everybody thinks you're a saint. Last year people kept bringing me drinks during my shift to say thanks. Could be worse!
