I hate Friendsgiving.

I do like getting together for a nice dinner with adult friends around Thanksgiving time.

(canceled that too tho)

I actually like most of my family so I hate missing out on family gathering for Thanksgiving this year. Friendsgiving is where I get trapped into hanging out with the people who are attached to some of my friends that are not actually also my friends. This is partly because my friends who tend to host event do not understand the "worlds colliding" thing and invite every dang person they know. Soooo more than a little relieved to take a pass this year.

We really don't have much as we're out of town most Thanksgivings. Her side canceled and MCF is going to the in laws. We'll probably eat with the neighbors and/or my Parents.

Imo, just stick with the people you've been around. Just don't be silly. Likewise, don't let anyone sit alone. Intent is not to eliminate gatherings its too reduce interactions, specifically new ones.

My sense is that a lot of people out there are really on edge from all this. I'm willing to do my part and live with those people doing what they feel is best for their family. Whether that's spending time with them or staying away.

We used to do a friends Christmas party that was an absolute blast. We would have everybody bring a homemade appetizer and a $10 unisex gift. We would eat and drink and play Dirty Santa with the $10 gifts. We did it about 6 years in a row and the last 2 times we rented karaoke from The Doo Wop Shop here in Louisville. Every single one of those parties was a hoot.

We are keeping Thanksgiving limited to immediate family rather than the big extended family gathering we usually do. My parents are both in their 60s and in very good health (knock on wood). We left the decision up to them and they'd prefer to take the risk of COVID over not seeing their kids, so there you go. Will probably crack a few windows and (weather permitting) go for a family hike or ride horses or something.

Edit: Kind of amazing how people are usually capable of identifying the individual risk profile of their own family and acting appropriately without daily sermons from our lord, emperor, and governor.

All words are made up.

- Most folks do exactly as you posted. And they understand their own circumstances and can decide if it’s worth seeing their family or not.

On the flip side, if you want to get together with family and friends and that amounts to more than 10 people, go ahead. Enjoy the holiday. Definitely don’t make the decision based on what some bureaucrat says, because a good number have shown they don’t follow their own mandates and rules to begin with.

The move should be this: if you want to have your family over (particularly old people), starting today you should basically stay at home and in low-risk situations (e.g., not meeting up with friends, going to restaurants, going to gyms, etc.).

Same. My grandmother is 94 and when my dad told her he understood if she didn't want to be around the family, she cussed him up one side and down the other.

Guess the thought of crossing her fingers and hoping she'd make it another year to see her great grandchildren only to be by herself over the holidays for the first time in nearly a century didn't sit too well.

And that is an absolutely reasonable and healthy outlook.

My mom said the same thing. She was like...if I die without seeing my kids again, did I really live? She had a stroke 2 years ago and is trying to live life to its fullest. But she’s tired of being alone.

Obviously not happening this year but we have Drinksgiving! Since everyone usually comes home we have a drinking crawl. A couple of us don’t drink so we drive to keep everyone safe.
The bars have raffles and pull tabs which helps when dealing with drunks and the tips offered for getting them home is classic.

Just the right tone, if you will.

Donhoff? Coach Gru?

Could *always* get Donhoff off track on a sunny spring afternoon with a “Coach Donhoff, what is college like?”....dude would stare out the window for a minute, sigh, and then start in for an hour with some heartfelt yet vague life lessons.

I mean I get it now.

speaking to a professional will help you more with your issues than lashing out on a message board.

You talking about the 70 dollar cardboard cutout or charging Madeline from prestonsburg 138k for a BA in Art History?

Wow this COVID **** is just not ending, getting harder and harder to live in my bubble.

Im in official incognito mode. Went to a wedding in VA this weekend, at the gym now. But there is no proof or evidence, I dare not say a word to a soul.

Getting worried about CBB season if I’m being honest

UK is running the spike protein trial if you are feeling froggy. I believe you can enroll in Louisville as well.
