Post-Thanksgiving thoughts
The first thought that came to my mind after reading this article was: What the hell is the matter with people these days?

People seriously have their life priorities out of whack when they behave like this and get someone killed, all over finding a few bargains. Really gives me black thoughts about the human race.
On to better things, hope everybody had a nice, relaxing, and tasty Thanksgiving.
I think my favorite day may be the day after Thanksgiving. No work, can stay home and do as little as possible (shopping? HELL NO!! especially after that little news piece I just shared!), and enjoy leftovers.
Oh yes, leftovers.
Raise your hands if you’re already sick of turkey sandwiches. Really? You, and you and you? Too bad. Notice my hand stayed down.
Nothing beats digging around in the fridge for all those scrumptious leftovers at noon the day after. Two mountainous turkey sandwiches with melted Swiss and slathered with mayo, as well as various other leftovers. And the pies. Oh yes, the pies.
Pumpkin, apple, chocolate mousse (a Yes Dear specialty), and cheesecake. Some of these she had taken to work and were never touched, so they came home. They didn’t know what they were missing. Mmmmm.
And the four hour afternoon nap, sandwiched in between various computer games such as Medal of Honor and Steel Panthers.
Well, that was my day after. Lazier than a hound dog. How was your Thanksgiving, and the aftermath?
Before I leave, think I’ll leave you with a meme I found over at Caltechgirl’s site. No tags, try it if you haven’t already.
Do you remember your first favorite song? If so, what was it?
Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver. That song’s my birthright, considering it’s about the state I was born in.
What do you refuse to eat?
Pineapple, lima beans, peas (unless they’re mixed in with something. Snow peas in stir frys OK), grapefruit, anchovies, to name a few.
Have you ever injected any kind of drug before?
Hell, no! I couldn’t do that to myself!
Do amusement park rides make you sick?
Had no problems until I hit 30. After that, my sense of equilibrium and cast-iron stomach deserted me.
Who is your favorite Star Wars character?
Y’know, I kinda liked Jar-Jar Binks. Yeah, he’s silly as hell, so what. Sue me.
What kind of cheese do you put on your sandwiches?
Swiss! Provolone a perfectly acceptable substitute. Can deal with white American in a pinch.
What was the first thing you ever learned how to cook?
Scrambled eggs. A requirement for any kid to graduate past eight years old.
Did you ever collect beanie babies?
Too old for them when they became popular. My wife currently does, though.
When was the last time you got a haircut?
September. ‘Bout time for another one.
Have you ever been to a bachelor/bachelorette party?
Once. And the groom-to-be got so drunk he almost couldn’t make it to his wedding.
Where are you most ticklish on your body?
My sides.
Have you ever bailed anyone out of jail?
Yep. And I got bailed out once, too.
What’s the last board game you played?
Sorry!
Do you still own any VHS tapes?
Lots and lots. Don’t know how many still work, though.
Do you shop at JC Penney’s ever?
Only if I get a gift card or certificate for them.
If there was a real Jurassic Park, would you visit it?
Sure. I’d love to see a pile of dino poop bigger than me.
Do you ever read the newspaper?
Absolutely necessary ritual when I get to work in the morning, before I clock in.
Do you eat your mac & cheese with a fork or a spoon?
Why would anyone eat it with a spoon, unless they’re in jail? Fork.
Is there any medicine/pill you take everyday?
I’m supposed to be on blood pressure medicine, but haven’t taken it since I lost my prescription coverage.
How many 20 dollar bills do you have on you right now?
You gotta be kidding. Does Monopoly money count?
Would you do meth if it was legalized?
You REALLY gotta be kidding. See Caltechgirl’s answer to this one for better clarification.
Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers to survey questions?
No. As a matter of fact, I hope they judge me. Please, I’m begging!
Do you think Obama will be assassinated?
Doubtful. Who the hell would want Biden in the Oval Office?
Have you ever made out with someone and then never saw them again?
Once, I think. Was pretty smashed at the time, so memory is quite fuzzy here.
Do you drink egg nog?
Did we slip back into the Christmas meme? Once again, YES!!
What are you wearing?
Tshirt and sweatpants.
