  we had our first family thanksgiving gathering this last thursday with our youngest sons family.

  before we started to eat we went around the table saying what we were thankful for.

  what our granddaughter had to say brought tears to our eyes.

  i literally had dozens of suits.

  i still have more dress clothes than anyone i know.

  i did give some suits and clothing away and to be honest, i still like wearing a nice suit.. brothers and sisters, are all your “ meeting clothes” still in your closet?

  I boxed up some of the clothes for my cousin to take to her church. They have a store where everything is free.

  I had about ten nice purses, i sold on ebay.

  Some got thrown out, like my denim skirts that everyone hated at the meeting. They were so old, they used to go to the meeting without me.

  Whatever we used to wear to meetings is gone. I haven't worn a skirt or dress or hose, or any dress shoes since the last meeting I attended, which was the memorial. I think that was 2013. And Steve hasn't worn a tie since 2011. He quit the meetings before i did.

  We kept one necktie to put on the skeleton every Halloween.

  The Latest From The Loony Left

  so apparently, not only can people identify as men or women, regardless of reality, but they've now declared that people can identify as black or white as well!

  no word yet from rachel dolezal, who will no doubt be declared a visionary, and sadly michael jackson didn't live long enough to celebrate.. i must say, now that i am a black woman, my views on reparations have completely changed.

  y'all owe me some reparations bitches to make up for slavery yo.

  What happens to Bethelites?

  so if someone puts their life into serving the cult for free at bethel, then say after 25 or 30 years they are not able to for one reason or another such as illness, or family issue or old age, does the cult have any safety net for these people or is it you serve until you can't and when you can't you just go away?

  Volunteers being promised they would have a home forever if they wanted to work at Bethel their entire life - kicked to the curb as old age arrives.

  Technically known as a LIE.

  Confession Time - Music You're Embarrassed to Admit Listening To

  admit it, we all have things that we reel off when people ask what our favourite music is, just the same as if people ask what our favourite movies are.

  we're meant to say "citizen kane" and "casablanca" and not "battleship" or "pacific rim" but we know what we're going to watch if they are ever on tv at the same time (and which ones we've never actually seen).. so how about some confession time?

  what do you listen to when no one else is in the house?.

  It was a criminal prosecution, not a civil suit, so i don't think there was an award to the victims, other than the conviction and sentencing - that was not much but at least something.

  This is funny - the other day i couldn't get that song from The Goodbye Girl out of my head, and was trying to find out who sang it - David Gates! I hadn't thought of that movie and song in years, and here it pops up.

  The music I love when nobody else is around, is barbershop harmony. Also Glen Campbell albums and soundtracks from musicals.

  My family and I do have a lot of music in common like jazz, but the mostly the Beatles. My granddaughter says, if somebody doesn't like the Beatles they can't come into my house!

  This has been a fun read!

  The Oxi-clean detergent i bought in '03, i think it was - caused my clothes to disintegrate with no warning. I was bending over a picnic cooler and suddenly heard my 3-year old granddaughter, in a very hesitant voice, telling me she could see my "buttie."

  Remember "Eggies?" Little plastic gizmo for making boiled eggs without having to peel them. I thought it would be so great because we used to have deviled eggs all the time. As I opened the box and read the extensive directions, i saw there was no saving time at all, using this outfit.

  First, each little eggie had 4 separate plastic pieces to be assembled and then disassembled after using, to clean them. Then, before you can crack an egg to put in the gizmo, it had to be coated with oil. There was a chart explaining how long to cook for the doneness you wanted - All the times were longer than a 3-minute egg! And then to top it off, once the eggs had boiled for the recommend times, you couldn't just pop it open, no. You had to wait a few minutes for the steam to subside so you didn't get a 3rd degree burn.

  I packed it all up and returned for a refund. The prospect of setting eggs to boil and then peeling them seemed a lot easier!
