Well, while you guys were in the HO, I was snoozing my face off in preparation for another night of work. This day has felt really weird and strange to me. It hasn't felt like a Thursday, and it hasn't felt like Thanksgiving. My co-workers say the same. There was a nice spread waiting for us at the galley. It was a typical Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixin's. Yep, it was good and I was grateful. As much as all the aircraft flew today, nothing broke, and right now we're pretty much all sitting here looking at each other stupid. Shucks, I'm not going to complain. I'm getting paid. I'm full, and I have much to be thankful for.

It may have taken 5 times but they all were perfectly balanced so that you could see each person! What a great job!
She had to skype 5 times about cooking. It's her first Thanksgiving that she had to cook so needed to know about the turkey the gravy wanted it just like grannys everthing came out great and tons of food.

Yep I remember working on holidays. They would put out a big spread and we would load up and take it on the train with us.

I took enough back with me for tonight. Technically, since I start work at 3:30 PM, I don't eat breakfast since we go to "lunch" at around 5pm. That is the time the galley is open and we have to go when it's open or we're out of luck. Sometimes I bring stuff back with me to the base for when I get hungry around midnight.

290 miles to go. We should arrive in Deerfield Beach around 9:10 PM. Raining just south of Jacksonville. Typical Florida weather. Went to the weather app to see how long we were going to be in it, pouring rain, not according to weather underground, no rain on radar at all. :rolleyes:
My weather app on my phone lies all the time. [emoji35]

Happy Thanksgiving in here :)

I want to say thank you for inviting me to the Hang Out...I had a wonderful time, you all made me feel so welcome !

Now, when I see your posts in here, I can picture you and hear you :)


Stuffed myself at my Sister's as usual.
And, as usual, the cologne was so thick I needed a shower once I got home [emoji38]

One of my nieces took a great vaping pic...I'll put it up as my avi for a bit once she sends it to me...it's on some fancy camera that she bought so I don't know when that will be.


anyhoooo...thank you again :wub:
It was great to get to meet you this morning, Classwife! Hope you got all the cologne out of your hair!

Well my Grandaughter only had to Skype my wife 5 times for instructions with video so she could get everything right. Here they are

Fantastic! Only 5 times for her first Thanksgiving for a crowd like this? Awesome.

Missed some quotes, but sounds like people had a nice Thanksgiving. And nice to know Matt and Doree are safe in Florida.

35 miles to go. Gas Guage says we have 50 miles of gas in the tank. Gonna be close but, dammit I ain't stopping! Just wanted everyone to know we made it. Doree drove the whole thing. I was falling asleep in the passenger seat and she rightly refused to let me drive. See you all in the morning. Happy Thanksgiving again and know that I really do love each and every one of you, my family.
Doree is treating you right. Ever see a tired baby who won't go to sleep? Take him for a car-ride and he goes to sleep like he should have hours before. ;)

We had one of the most meaningful Thanksgivings ever.

Early this morning, we went to a school gymnasium where the bleachers were filled with clothes donations, and tables were set for a full turkey dinner and all the trimmings. It was a sad and happy time for dh & me and some folks just tore me up. Sort of wish I could have brought home a particular older lady who looked so emaciated but she held her head high. Another person who struck me was a gentleman who was ...maybe in his 40s....couldn't really tell cause of the unshaven face and long straggly hair. This man looked so beaten, and I won't forget that look for a very long time. A lot of these folks were smiling and kept wishing all the helpers Happy Thanksgiving. Wow, just wow!

Every day I am grateful for so many things, but today brought gratefulness to a whole new level.

Sounds like a fulfilling and touching day for sure.

Awesome picture of happy faces. Our daughter shared Thanksgiving with other wive's whose husbands are deployed in Afgan w/ Brian. Thanks for sure to our military guys and gals for their service. So nice what your daughter did today.

Hey Matt ... now you know how to get a good nights sleep. Just have Doree drive you around all night.

Serious ... glad to hear you've reached the destination all safe and sound.

So...


i'm the one who fell down in this scenario. i had recently been thru a few more low blood sugar incidents, which required 911, but this was my latest. so, "i fell down and couldn't get up". ring a bell to anyone?

fortunately, i was in the hangout when i fell (on an awkward trek to the bathroom) . i wasn't carrying my phone. i couldn't call 911

but... i WAS in the hangouts when i fell...

so.... yiddle calls oldbroad (and wakes her up from a dead sleep) to try to get someone else to call who has my address. fortunately, oldbroad had my address. (actually, i'm still kinda worried about that, but...)

so... yiddle ends up calling 911 (with oldbroad's help) giving them my address. 911 shows up and saves my life. if that hadn't happened, there's a good chance i'd still be laying on the floor





like many of us, i have a lot to be thankful for.

i am more than delighted to say that many of my reasons to give thanks reside on this porch


Happy Thanksgiving, ALL of you wonderful people
I had heard something happened, just not the full story. I'm so glad that you are alright. God bless everyone who helped you.
I had a great day with my extended family. Around 9 o'clock my blood sugar spiked and I had to lie down. Dozed for 3 hours so now I am wide awake. Oh well, it could be worse. I'll see ya in the morning.

The thought of that SX kept me up half the night Thank You Mike. I saw a shot of the software for the new ML which is really no more then my M does except it has 6 presets for different wire. Vapor Kings who has the SX for $100 including shipping is saying they are in Arkansas and they are not allowed to ship to anyone in Arkansas because of some bill that passed there. I never even heard of that. I'm kind of leary of ordering one.

Vapor Kings main store is in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I used to order from when I was in the Joytech phase of vaping. They always were a good source for me. The Arkansas thing is ridiculous. No vaping paraphanelia allowed to be shipped in or out.

Good morning everyone! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I think I'm still full. We went to a cousin's house for a 1:00 dinner that got pushed back to 2:00. About 3:00 we heard that dinner would be at 6:30. Mike and I both thought she was just kidding - nope. We hadn't eaten breakfast so we were starving! Good thing I took the beer dip and pretzels. When we finally got to eat though, everything was delicious and there was plenty of it.

One very nice surprise for me was seeing one of the guests vaping! I'd talked to her at 2 past gatherings about vaping and she finally took the plunge. Boy was she happy and she feels so much better! She hasn't had a cigarette in a month!! She said she remembered me talking about the freedom so many of us felt and said she now truly understands what I meant. She tasted my JH and loved it so I'm going to send her some. She'd heard a little about the FDA situation and wants to get in some DIY supplies so I'll be calling her later with some suggestions and a strong suggestion that she come to ECF. I'd hate for her to finally get started and have the FDA shut her down!

Legs, so glad your daughter had such a successful first time Thanksgiving dinner! Must have tickled your wife to have been a part of it.

Matt, glad to hear you made it safely. Since you slept in the car I expected that you would have been awake most of the night. You'll definitely have your days and nights mixed up now!
