Well this year will be my first real Thanksgiving dinner. In the 2 years since I left the Organization, this will be my third Thanksgiving but the only one that I am actually going to be involved in dinner prep. In prior years, as a bachelor, it was too much trouble to cook a full turkey dinner for one (though I know how to cook). So I usually went to the deli at the local grocery store and got turkey and stuffing and all the fixings in single serve containers and made myself a pumpkin pie.

That changes this year. My fiancee took over her family's traditional dinner after her grandmother died. Apparently her mom is not such a great cook or just isn't going to be bothered. I was looking forward to it...until I found out that my dear bride-to-be elected to work Thursday morning...their bakery cafe will be open until 11 am to get orders out and serve breakfast... meaning I get to watch the 8YO and start the turkey in the oven and the roast in the slow cooker.... and any other baking I want to do before the turkey goes in. ah hell...

Then she tells me she is making pumpkin pie...yes...my favorite. Then I see pre made pie shells in the freezer... what? That's cheating. I can see it for cheesecake, as it is merely graham crackers and butter to make it all stick together...but frozen shells? ugh. I am looking up my crust recipe and see if I can intercept this travesty. LOL....then again, I will have an 8YO along for the ride....decisions decisions.

I want to bake some cookies or banana bread or something too. Of course, I what I haven't said yet is that her folks....well, they take the "fun" out of dysfunctional. I have made it clear that any bad behavior (meaning tearing my fiancee down as they often do) will result in a taking aside of the violators and given a choice: be nice to her or leave. I ageed to the whole dinner thing here on the condition that her parents can't emotionally hijack the dinner. So we shall see.... they always wait until I am not around to start their crap on her then it takes me 2 hours to calm her down.

Oddly enough, her mom likes me...we used to work together in a discount retailer about 20 years ago. Her dad likes me because I agree with him on some things...and because my work schedule allows me to take care of the 8YO in the morning instead of being dropped off at their house at 5am by his mom. And as long as they treat my fiancee right, I will like them.

so wish me luck ...lets hope this turkey day dinner is not a disaster...... we could have taken the easy way out...a friend of mine and her husband invited the three of us to their house for dinner for a homemade meal.... le sigh... If I survive it, I will post it (and yes, JD, I know.... WGAS?)

i mentioned the 2 nosy jw elders poking around my house 2 weeks ago (and posted a week ago here..and cannot believe it hit 2100+ views).... let me add this disturbing update...no..no jc yet....no word from the 2 old lackeys either.... my fiancee and her son and i were at a winery/restaraunt last sunday (a bad place for an 8yo...overpriced food unappreciated by a kid) when i looked over at the next table on the rooftop deck, overlooking the illinois river, and seen what appeared to be 2 jws ladies and an obviously not jw man with them... on closer look, the one woman was a single jw sister who had a thing for me....and i was chairman of her jc for fornication (not with me...lol).... and another sister..and her non-jw hubby.... i am certain that the single sister seen me but didn't say anything.

i actually recognized the ubm first.

as they were leaving, the married jw sister came over...i introduced my fiancee....and the dub could not help but mention this "wonderful" jw elder that moved into their congo at the request of the co....he is wonderful like roaches are wonderful.....but i digress.

aude:

Probably just report on the facts.

I prefer that to some of the sensationalism of some of the other networks. I am sure 20/20 does it too... though I find it interesting that the blurb specifies JW.. other religions dont get that special mention

I thought about WGAS.....figured it out before I pulled that link.....and ya know what...I post for my own therapeutic value and for those who do give a s*it...... and if J. Doe doesn't, oh well. I didn't expect so many to read let alone reply.

There are many threads on this forum that don't interest me...and even if I do read, I am not compelled to post on 99% of them, especially lately...have too much other good things to do...

road trip.... if you all come through here we are in the middle of the US....I-55, I-64, I-70 and I-44 all run through this area. Love to see any who can detour here... could go TP a KH....lol... kidding...I have better things to do with my 2-ply than waste it at the place that knows better than anyone how to waste time, money, paper, and lives.
