You scared me! I thought it was going to be a needle or something like that.

I was thinking a finger.

The Thanksgiving celebration was great. About 150-ish of the 180-ish showed up. Pretty good, considering the 5th generation out from the Patriarch and Matriarch are now runnin' around and the families are so spread out.

Ugh! It's snowing like gang-busters here, and Son #2 has ZERO snow experience, so I won't let him drive the GF home. (Keep in mind, he only has his learner's permit, so I have to be in the car anyway.)
So, the big old dummy kicks up a fuss, acts like a total a$$, and decides to call for a cab, rather than acquiesce to me driving. In the meantime GF has to be home soon in order to catch her ride back to school.

And I'm the bad guy here?

Oh yeah, I paid for his full driving instruction classes (almost a $1000) for 10 or so hours of in-class training, 10 hours of e-learning, and 13 in-car driving lessons, plus use of their car for the road test. So far, he has only completed the in-class component. He has one year to complete the whole program. That year is up in February.

Dang, I miss my farm.
Now what to play?

I don't have games I've been adicted to however I have a few that I play when I am bored out of my wits, generally as I am subjected to long winded speeches and pitches. I multi task well and I find it calming and it keeps me from wanting to jump out of my comfy chair during a board meeting with the desire to slap someone.

my DD on the other hand game is Dots, I think she played it half the way down to central IL yesterday

It's when you sneeze on the cookie you about to eat.

Spoiler

If I sneezed on my own cookie.........I'm still gonna eat it.

I had to look this one up. That is interesting, I didn't know that term!

Ahhh, Roman times, they sure were sucidoodles.

THIS ONE WINS A PRIZE!!!!!!!!!! What a clever take-off of the famous Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving painting. I love this!!

Ha! Me too, it looks like Mickey and Snow had a bit too much wine though, trying to keep their eyes open.

 

[donaldtoo]

That's cool you are a beer connossier, if that is the right word? I'm curious if you like the warm beers I think they are called stout?

Thank you, but, I'm no connoisseur. Although, I obviously love beer and do know a little about it.
And yes, I do like beers like Guinness Extra Stout better at room temperature than refrigerated. They just have a more full, smooth flavor that way, to me.

Yeah, me too.

Something tells me you could play four square well no?

We never played four square. My favorite recess activity was jump rope.

I played soccer at every lunch recess and tetherball when it was just our class.

I very seldom drink beer, but, when I do I put ice in it. I don't like beer unless it is ice cold. It's a habit I picked up when I was in Vietnam where HOT beer was the norm.

Have you downloaded Soda Crush yet?

I liked 4 square but preferred kick ball.

I must still be in Florida mode.
Flip flops in the snow - not my brightest move today.
Sadly, probably not going to be my dumbest either.

 

[JenniferS]

I was thinking a finger.

Yeah, my finger. Picking out those nasty chunks.

 

[JenniferS]

Change the pedicure to French, and yup, that's yours truly.

Have you downloaded Soda Crush yet?

Yup. This afternoon.

 

[Gabe1]

Hey, did I tell you my youngest son got ZERO credits last year? And only four the year before?
Does anyone seriously think I would discourage him from working; full-time; at a job he loves; that offers opportunity to advance; to go back and squander away another year?
Not at this stage, that's for sure.

You have the tolerance of Job. I would have shipped his little butt off to Military School back the first time with 4 credits.

I actually like most beer ice cold. The colder the better. The taste of those just appeals to me more at room temperature. And, I don't usually choose to drink those stouts during the warmer/hotter months, as nothin' but a cold beer will do.
If I had been in those tropical conditions for that long, I'm sure I woulda' put ice in my brew when I could, too.

I can correctly answer all those questions - including the Snookie one

As did the Texas Tech students. It was highly misrepresented but it captured attention. They just asked a bunch of students until they receive a wrong answer and omit anyone who answers correctly. Lots and lots of editing to make Texas Tech look stupid. Humans. It may be sad that there are ANY college students who don't know these things but that by no means they represent the majority, they just are edited out.
