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.
sympathy like again.. unbelievable on how much things you do, and your son still blasts at you.

Just 'cause I got used to taking and posting food pics, I offer you these:
My plate (although the wings are from Hubby's stash)

Hubby's ribs and 1lb wing combo plate:

My 99 cent side of fries:

(With a blurry fry photobomb)

And the leftovers:

Total bill including 2 draft beers (for Hubby), water (for me), and 13% tax (for the crooks in Ottawa and Toronto) - less than $45.
Certainly not Disney quality, but a fraction of the price.
looks really good! I'm eyeing the wings myself1

Anyway.. where did you order these?

We have three favourite restaurants.
Angel's Diner - for brekkie and lunch.
Gus & Guido's - slightly upscale Italian/Greek place
And Sammy's Rec Room - a total dive, with great food at great prices.

Thinking of maybe starting a bit of a diet tomorrow, so Hubby wanted to satisfy his grease quotient for the month.
the bad side of course.. are a) hurricanes b) quakes
Aaaah - we rarely have those.

Son #1 is going to NYC in two weeks.
For his early Christmas gift, I just ordered two floor table tickets to see Cabaret at Studio 54.
$544, plus exchange. I threw up a little in my mouth.

Oh, it got worse. Due to the weather, the cab was a little slow in getting here, and GF was going to miss her ride back to Guelph. So, he sucked it up and asked me to drive her.
I insisted he call to cancel the cab; which he promptly did.

As we were putting on our coats, the cab arrived.
I felt bad. We live right at City Limits and depending on where the cab was, it could have taken him 10-15 minutes to get here. For nothing.

On the plus side, he was still mad at me, so it was lovely and silent in the car.

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. :)

Glad you all had fun. Just curious: does your family use the Mayan calendar, for example? :confused: The calendar I use says that Thanksgiving is at the end of the month. o_O

Or, was this a pre-Thanksgiving "warm up" for the real BIG DAY?? :joyfull: (I could understand that; I could go for two Thanksgiving meals!! :hungry: :hungry: )

Thinking of @akayw0718 as it is the anniversary of the mega tornadoes. A year ago today they ripped through Illinois through her home town, passing right 'over' vs through my DD University, her in some very old library basement and tornadoes moving up the state continuing the destruction. Some families have moved back while others are still attempting to rebuild. All still in my prayers.

Are those Christmas lights on your railing or Halloween lights?
Hallowe'en still. As you may recall, we handed out candy on the 31st, and immediately left for Buffalo.

Usually, we have our Christmas lights up by now (but not the tree), but Hubby has been crazy busy with basketball. Apparently, he's going to get them up on Wednesday or Thursday.

Not sure if you think that's early, but we don't wait until after your Thanksgiving up here. Generally, once Hallowe'en is over, it's all systems go!
