I think we had a unusual stress this Thanksgiving. We had supper at my parents. My Mom hasn't been feeling well for about a week or so, low grade fever and lower back pain. She thought it was a kidney infection. Any way she almost passes out and we put her to bed. Yesterday she still didn't want to go the Dr, but we, the kids insist. Dr and he takes one look at her blood nrs Hemocrit was 24, and says you have two choices. You can either get in your car and drive to the hospital or we can call an ambulance. She ends up getting two units of blood and being scheduled for the test were they look a the large intestine. If they don't find anything there, I guess they start looking at the upper GI Track

The best Thanksgiving I can remember was a low-key affair at our house in Hartsville. My dad had died three weeks before, and I couldn't bring myself to go be around the entire extended family. My mom and my sister elected to go, so we stayed at home. Tim came down from Raleigh. It was a lazy day. I made a kick-ass turkey, orange-tarragon stuffing, apple-cider-laced deviled eggs, green beans, sweet potato souffle, squash casserole, pretzel salad, and pumpkin chiffon pie.
The food was great. Tim decided he needed some "moisturizer" so we went moisturizer shopping at Wal-Mart on Thanksgiving in my small town. We totally didn't look gay at all. The next morning, we got up early at did Black Friday in Florence, SC.
No one fought; no drama other than the crap Tim is always slinging, and it was great.
Juxtapose that with Thursday. My in-laws are here. I'm hoping that it'll be a nice time, but with the FIL we're like oil and water; two know-it-alls who won't back down."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action.

We were going to try and beat the storm and head to my SIL's home in Grass Valley, CA early this morning. All the kids are packed and excited to see their cousins. My wife is excited to see her sister and go ride horses on their ranch. With the storm, the California Highway Patrol has closed I-80 at the Nevada-California border. All the parking lots/hotels in Reno are full due to the truckers being delayed. The thought of being stuck somewhere in Nevada on I-80 with four kids and a new puppy doesn't sound fun. Looks like we'll be staying in SLC for now."You interns are like swallows. You shit all over my patients for six weeks and then fly off."

This will be the first Thanksgiving without Mom, so it will be interesting and somehow subdued. She was a wonderful cook and really loved the holiday. Most of the locals are still going over to Dad's for the day though.
Last week, my sisters were debating who would have the honor of baking Dad's mincemeat pie - both are good bakers, but IMO not on Mom's levelLast edited by happyone; 11-23-2010, 08:49 AM.

If they close I 80 over Donner Pass, its got to be a bad one. They do a fair job of keeping the snow plowed through there, so it must be especially bad this week.Originally posted by hostile View Post
It looks like the storm has blown over out here, though, so that means, 1) The pass should be open by the time you get there, and 2) Nevada will likely be a mess tonight and possibly tomorrow.
Good luck.Comment

My parents are scheduled to leave at 4:30 or so from SLC to fly to Houston to spend thanksgiving with me. I hope they make it. I really am worried that they will not. So far, no delays, and the flight leaves in three hours.Awesomeness now has a name. Let me introduce myself.Comment

I guess we can cut you some slack - I think you have been through more bad weather than most of us here

Strange circumstances this year. My in-laws (MIL and FIL as well as my wife's sister's family) are coming here for TG. They were supposed to be arriving late Wednesday night, but they decided to leave two hours ago. Just 5 minutes ago we learned that they'll be arriving in time for dinner tonight. Thanks for the head's up, guys! They are Utah fans, so I should know better than to expect common courtesy.
The strange part is that we're ditching them on TG and traveling to my parents' house for the weekend. So they are going to have TG dinner at our house, but without the presence of my family.

My BYU coed just called from Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson on her way to Chattanooga to spend the holiday with mrs. myboynoah's family. She's so excited and looking forward to the time away. We're so happy we flew her out this morning.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
