Any Thanksgiving Mishaps

[marini martini]

O.K. Guys, I want to know I wasn't the only one today that had a few blunders going on!

1. Dropped hot oven rack on shag carpet.

2. Thought two bags of fresh spinach would feed l2, in fact cooked down to 1 cup.

3. Hubby, before company arrived, shattered a glass shelf in curio cabinet, while showing his son his "antique" fishing crap.

4. Bought de-caf instead of regular coffee for coffee drinkers.

5. Due to severe lower back pain, took too many aspirin, and have been taking antacids for last hour.

6. "Too be cont'd" Grey's anatomy.

So fess up ya'll, I can't be the only one. But all in all my day turned out to be really nice :toast

[jman3000]

after i ate, i ended up just sleeping for 3 hours. so i dont think i even had the opportunity to fuck up.

[Sapphire]

No mishaps here. This Thanksgiving was great!

My mom some what burnt part of the ham....

[marini martini]

^^^Shit, r u my baby?????????????????

[mrsmaalox]

Well Marini I hope you had plenty of libation to help you along! I actually did quite well this year because I was only assigned a starter (they have at last learned their lesson). And my world famous pumpkin bisque is always a hit!

I most certainly did, thanks MrsM :toast Did you get back from Va., yet? How was it w/ \your a/r sis in law?? It really turned out pretty great at my house, considering I fed 12. My hubby even thanked me at the end of the evening, for the chance to be with his side of the family that we rarely see. :clap

No ma'am I am still a prisoner here. Actually we are in Bethany Beach, Delaware and I hope to be back to SA tomorrow evening. The "menfolk" took the kids out fishing so I snuck a laptop into my room and am cheating on my one hr per day allotted internet time! Yes, the A/R s-i-l makes us "sign up" for an hour a day!! :lol

[marini martini]

Well, enjoy your next few minutes then. :lol I just love stories about nutty relatives :toast

Naw, its an area rug, black & grey. Didn't f#ck it up too bad.

Oh& I forgot this one, when my husband lit the fireplace the room filled with smoke, cuz the flu was closed :madrun And he spent the better part of last week installing a gas heater in our family room, to make sure everyone stayed warm. Everyone was sweating, especially me :bang

Then my daughter's b.f. brought a friend that had a 6m.o. kitten, that knocked all the bottom "antique" christmas balls off my tree :ihit

And my funky forties apron, covered my cute outfit, and it has a big burn mark on the front of it :lol :lol

And I took so many aspirin for my lower back pain, I was eating pepsid crap by the handfuls :toast

Manu (the new dog) got in a fight with our old dogs, biting Yogi's eye (lots of blood) and causing me to flip out. Manu also crashed through a window in our house. Needless to say, we weren't even able to go to our inlaws for Thanksgiving dinner. We stayed home and I cooked steak, sausage, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc. It was fun day anyway, despite the problems.

Unfortunately, Manu can't stay here :( so he'll be getting a new home.

I tried posing as a homeless dude to get some free food at a shelter, but they kicked me out.

[The sone]

took my pain killer way to early and ended up in bed by 8 and a half...slept till 11...uhg

[Mulchie]

I antecedently started a small fire!

[2Blonde]

I hosted dinner at my house for 16 people. Both my family and my husband's. This was the first time in our ten years of marriage that the two sides have ever met. One sister came in the day before to help me with the cooking. When she found out I was using boxed stuffing she almost fainted. I told her that we liked it but if she wanted to make it homemade then feel free to go for it. Once I got her in the kitchen she went wild and made almost everything except the turkeys and ham. I did those. She's a whiz in the kitchen.

It actually went pretty well except for my other sister who was a complete bitch. She and my niece kept insisting that I had not set enough places, I assured them I did. We went back and forth until I was ready to explode. Turns out I was right. Then just as we were sitting down to eat she said "thank god we don't have to eat that boxed crap you wanted to make." We also had to keep our dog in the bedroom or outside the entire day because she complained about being allergic to dogs even though she has one at home. Right after she made the stuffing comment I called my husband in to the bedroom and cried on his shoulder for about 2 minutes and then composed myself and went on with the day.

Thank god for the mimosas!!!

This is honestly why I'm glad I have no siblings and that my parent's families really in my life. Seriously, I tire of all their bullshit too easily and if what happened to you, happened to me, there'd be some hungry people walking out of my house immediately after those statements.

How about having her host next years Thanks Giving and make sure you invite me!

It was just the final straw in an entire day of her being a bitch. I even went through the hassle of having the carpets and tile steamed cleaned and got the dog shaved in order to accommodate her. Believe me the troll forum has nothing on the already bossy oldest child going through menopause. If I can survive her then the Troll Forum is a day at the beach. I just don't go in there anymore because I haven't had time.

:lol So was that the "blessing?"

Please tell me they did not stay at your house overnight! If it was me they would have to hide that "heat" you're holding :lol

[Shelly]

Ugh...I hate when family that come to YOUR house take over.

My sil is like that. My mom has Christmas at her house every year and my sil will immediately hop up and start doing the dishes, practically before you can finish your food...which my mom hates. Not that she minds that my sil helps do them, but we all like to linger around the table and talk and, oh, I don't know, let our food settle maybe? My mom has told her to stop repeatedly, but she still does it. Which means my sister and I have to reluctantly get up and help her.

She's annoying.

sounds like my sister(the part about the dog). what a bitch

[marini martini]

Shelly, sounds like sil is in a hurry to get out of there. Just pour more wine, and watch her clean it up.....or not.

I was really pleased that this is the first time my in-laws came over for Thanksgiving, and we all had a great time. Of course, I was the only one drinking wine all day, but still kept me mellow, and gave me a sense of humor when things went awry

[MoSpur]

I was sick and didn't have a desire to eat until about 10 at night. I got to eat good turkey sandwiches on Friday though.

No, because they stay for a few hours more. She's just annoying

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I almost dropped the turkey on the way into my brother's house.

I wasn't worried because the 10 second rule would have automatically went into effect.

[grindmouse]

Sounds like this Peta loving tree hugger doesn't get laid much! I think deep down she is Jealous of your handsome husband and nice new house you just built!

Please tell me she won't be back next year! and where are the pics! :smokin

[SpursWoman]

We had a very nice day ... and other than someoneveryclosetomyheart nailing the next door neighbor's roof with a football, no mishaps. :)

[mrsmaalox]

I think the entire holiday is a mishap! I totally completely hate Thanksgiving it's a complete waste of my time. Boring as hell and the only food I like is my pumpkin bisque. Whether it's with my family or the in laws I absolutely abhor my annual visit to "Dysfunction Junction'!

Well it's one of those "sacrifices" one makes for the family (husband and kids). I wouldn't expect you to understand.

[CuckingFunt]

However, since going to the relatives' for Thanksgiving is apparently so uncomfortable for you, would it be impossible to share this fact with your husband and start a new tradition of a small, intimate holiday meal for just your immediate family?

My husband shares my feelings about Thanksgiving, but at this time it is very important to our families to spend time with our children; when the kids start to complain it will change. All other holidays are small intimate gatherings for our family only. But I appreciate your concern and should me or my family ever be in need of therapy, I will contact you first. :toast

My entire life growing up the holidays meant TONS of family ... and I loved it. In the last few years I've lost both of my parents and the only grandparent I've had since I was 10, and since User is an only child, our gatherings are depressingly small. I'd kill to be able to post how much my family irritates the shit out of me and how I'd rather not waste my time.

Perspective and all that stuff. :)

MY condescending tone?!? Did you not read your own posts starting with #33? I wasn't the one who came in here to put anybody in their place. And yes it is a public message board and I'm not usually bothered by what anyone posts, but it is starting to be a bit annoying that you seem to feel I need constant correction from you. 2Blonde and Shelly did plenty of venting about T.G. but did you feel a need to "advise" them? Look I don't know what your deal is, but you really don't need to waste so much energy on me. I've always thought you are extremely smart and witty and I don't care if you are a girl, boy or whatever, like some people here do, and I've never had any desire to cross you. If you want to be my friend that would be cool; if not, leave me alone and I won't bother you either.

You vented, I commented. That's it. It wasn't advice, it wasn't judgment -- "hate" and "abhor" are pretty strong words, and I think my comment in post #33 was the obvious solution to that problem.

Your cracks about me not understanding family sacrifice and consulting me for therapy were intentionally condescending and you know it. Don't backtrack and/or expect me not to have caught it, because that just insults my intelligence and yours.

I would never insult your intelligence because I don't play like that. If you didn't like my condescending tone fine, I was just giving you what I (and others) get from you all the time, that's all.

Holidays on my dad's side of the family (the waspy white folks side) are the same as they've ever been -- unspoken tension and poorly veiled insults delivered with a smile.

Ha ha, that's funny! :lol Reminds me of the time when my oldest was about 7 and my mom hosted a "fancy" dinner out for our family reunion. My son ordered roast beef and baked potato, and slathered all of the white stuff in the metal container on his plate onto his potato. Was he ever pissed when he realized all the white stuff was neither butter nor sour cream. It was horseradish for his roast beef. We still give him crap for that!

Guess you had to be there................ :lol :lol

My best TG mishap was the first one I had with my husband's family. They are the kind that polish the silver and use "water goblets",etc. His mom and sisters worked all day and when they called everyone in to the dining room for the "presentation" we all walked in to find my 2 chihuahuas on the table pigging out!!! I think his mom got the "vapors"! :lol

give us details! Did she pass her random piss test? Does she work for Toyota making sure the Mexicans in San Antonio don't leave anymore taco cabana wrappers in the trucks? Is she going to law school? Did she pass the Bar?

Did she pass gas? a Kidney stone?.................don't leave us in the dark!

what the fuck did she pass?

Thank you CuckingFunt and mrsmaalox for making forget why I hated thanksgiving in the first palce! :lmao
I'm only too happy to oblige!! :)

[easjer]

Thanksgiving was great this year, but small (just SFIE, me and my mom). We hosted last year, and my dad and stepmom joined us. I want to host every year; it's a lot of fun for me, and so nice to not have to travel for one holiday.

This year's mishaps included forgetting to set the timer for both pies (but we had a general idea of when they went in and checked back in them every 5 minutes after), a leetle oops with the consistency of the chocolate mousse (but the taste was divine, and a little more whipping cream made it right as rain). And we forgot the timer on the rolls, so a couple got a little more brown than I would like.

Last year though - heh. SFIE (who is responsible for the turkey on the pretext that I think a turkey breast is just fine, thanks, so if someone wants a whole turkey, they can roast it themselves) left the giblets in the turkey last year.

Before that, back when my parents were together, there was a family tradition of burning the rolls. Every freaking year. My dad would cook (he's a marvelous cook) and the last thing to go in would be the rolls and every year he would forget until the burning smell came from the oven. good times.

[SpursWoman]

Then just as we were sitting down to eat she said "thank god we don't have to eat that boxed crap you wanted to make."

Thank god for the mimosas!!!

:lol So was that the "blessing?"

Please tell me they did not stay at your house overnight! If it was me they would have to hide that "heat" you're holding :lol
No, that sister did not stay at my house. She & her hubby stayed in New Braunfels & her son stayed with us. He wanted to have fun. Actually, I didn't invite her to stay at my house because of the dog thing. I told her I didn't want her to get sick. :p:

I didn't either. I was going to comment on 2Blonde's stuffing story because we had the same thing happen the last time we had Thanksgiving at someone else's house. Needless to say, we do Thanksgiving at our house now. Stuffing out of the box is the shit.

This year things went off without a hitch. We spent thanksgiving at our friend's house. There were about 5 couples, one teenager (my daughter) & 2 little kids. I spent most of the day at home making sweet potato casserole, homemade apple pie & green bean casserole. Then we took over our portion of the dinner to our friends and had a wonderful meal. Nobody even fought... It was great. Then I came home and passed out at 10pm and slept until 11am today.:toast

My little little cousin Janelle-23y/o-(jokingly) said "You're looking great", grabbed my butt and asked if "that incest thang" was okay in my book. :lol

Quite the mishap.

Manu (the new dog) got in a fight with our old dogs, biting Yogi's eye (lots of blood) and causing me to flip out. Manu also crashed through a window in our house. Needless to say, we weren't even able to go to our inlaws for Thanksgiving dinner. We stayed home and I cooked steak, sausage, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc. It was fun day anyway, despite the problems.

Unfortunately, Manu can't stay here :( so he'll be getting a new home.

Manu IS unpredictable!!!
