I watched all kinds of scary movies, apparently my mom had a thing for "Psycho" and "the Birds" and those traumatized my older sister but I think by the time I came around black and white wasn't so scary anymore. My mom explained to me that she had watched "In Cold Blood" with Robert Blake, one of the first "true crime" movies. About 2 guys who murdered a whole family in the 50's maybe? Truman Capote wrote the book and guess who was in it? besides Robert Blake? Scott Wilson, aka, Hershel!!!!!!! Anywho when I watched "Psycho" and "In Cold Blood" they didn't scare me. And My dad watched nothing but Westerns, everything set in the 20th Century was garbage...so that's how Mandingo was "acceptable" and Little House on the Prairie, Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, Big Valley, The Rifleman, Bonanza, Quai Chang Cain (whatever that was called, grasshopper) but if we were caught watching Alf or the Cosby Show it was garbage (maybe he had a point with Bill Cosby in retrospect). Actually he did watch Quincy and Hawaii 5-0 but those were practically the only things he watched that weren't westerns.

Although I'm not English, I share AL's pasty white skin, and I never understand what we're supposed to do about it.  We're far more likely to develop skin cancer, and frankly I'm happy that this is on

The kids getting it on always gotta die because even in slasher films you gotta remain virginal.

I avoid horror films like the plague now, I have a friend who will watch alllll of them and it's not so much that I care about the scares, I just think they suck. They are 1 note, jump and cliche and then done. I watch them on cable and meh. She wants to tease me like I'm scared of them, I just think they suck.

One job is offering overtime the week before thanksgiving so I'm partooking, I usually work 26 hours but we can get  up to 45, I won't get anywhere near that but I'm working Sunday because it's extra money so my week is looong but next week I'm off Thursday and Friday and they pay both days. No idea what I'm doing, my friend who is going to Detroit usually has me housesit but she hasn't mentioned it. She's mentioned she's going and she usually doesn't ask but just informs me but she hasn't informed me. meh. I don't care for thanksgiving foods and I have no relatives so I'll be binging "the boys" "the Queen's gambit" and possibly "the mandalorian" if I can find them.

Maybe if you get a chance you could watch the FTWD episodes that aired this season?   The series has changed a lot, and is much better.   Certainly better than the angsty new series. 

Eh, I've thought about it. I'd have to go back to when that family was still alive, and I'm just not that interested. The last one I saw was the first one with John.

I got some good news today - my son can finally come home on leave from the Marines, barring a nationwide ban on leaves.  So I will see him on December 15 for almost 3 weeks!!!  You don't know how happy I am.  🥰

Sweet! Where has he been? My friend's son was in the middle east for most of the pandemic and now he's in Idaho which is still most of the country away.

People are complaining about not getting to see their families for thanksgiving. My family has been dead for 25 years. The list I have of "terrrible" thanksgivings is looong. Last year, of course, spent thanksgiving at a prison with the niece. In college some girls I worked with were going to have a "casual" thanksgiving, pizza and tv. nope, one of these girls went bananas because her mom was coming and hijinks ensued, such as "borrowing" a dining table in the middle of the night and then her mom was all "omg this is so nice I would have been happy with pizza". One year we got blizzarded in, car broke down, had to rent a motel room and when we got up in the morning they had to shovel snow out of our doorway, it didn't snow 8 feet deep I think it just drifted at us. Basically I'm not that attached to thanksgiving, as per usual I may be attending a last minute funeral this year. 2020 CAN BLOW A GOAT!

Wow, I feel horrible now compared to your friend's son.  We're in PA and he's in NC, so only a few states away, but he hasn't been able to come home since last December.  We did see him in September when we met him halfway.

Sounds like you had some horrible Thanksgivings!  I've never cared one way or another for the holiday.  What's funny is my favorite one was 2018.  My son graduated boot camp the day before, so the family postponed the big dinner because we were driving 14 hours.  My immediate family (Mr. Max, the Marine and his brother) had Thanksgiving dinner at a hibachi restaurant.  We were the only ones there.

A woman I worked with confessed that she would take those coated pain relievers, suck the sweet coating off them and put them back in the bottle.

I forgot to mention those people that visit and don't know when to go home.  The same people that call up on the phone and can't end a conversation, so I am just sitting there listening to them breath. 

When guests don't know when to leave, I find putting your pyjamas on is a pretty good hint. 😆 As for the marathon phone callers - OMG! I can recall sitting there listening to someone relate a very long dream to me, while I sweated with anxiety and in my imagination I was doing all the stuff those people on "Airplane" did while being subjected to the main character's thoughts and feelings about his relationship - hanging myself, putting a gun to my head, etc. Oh, that reminds me: Also drives me mad when someone insists on telling me the entire plot of movie they saw, complete with their interpretation and critique. Just kill me now.

I am not a people person.  I don't like crowds, and I never liked social gatherings.  And for some obnoxious reason there are always those relatives or friends that have the most disgusting habits.   Sometimes double dipping in a community bowl of dip,   Sometimes taking a chocolate out of a mixed box, taking a bite out of it, not liking it, and putting it back in the box.  Who the hell is going to eat a bitten piece of chocolate with drool all over it? 

😂

Its so nice to meet a kindred spirit!

I was at my local Chinese take-away one night, they put a plate of mini spring rolls on the counter with a bowl of chilli sauce dip, everyone took advantage of their unusual generousness, then some slob walked up, took a bite out of a roll then proceeded to double dip it into the sauce, it was like an episode of the Sopranos, Oooooooohhhhhhs, Heeeyyyyyys, Motherfuckers,  from everyone in the place, if we had your gun laws, slob would have died in a pool of blood and chilli sauce 😂

  He would repeat all of the dialogue for each character a few seconds before each character said it on screen.   That was incredibly annoying.

I think "annoying" is a vast understatement in this scenario.

It's bullshit, but nothing I can do about it.  When everything is done I will have to find a new dentist that does it all.  That will be hard to do given that so many dentists have retired and my options have become severely limited.

Well I’m only a plane ride away,  and cheap 🤑

I’m still wrapping my head around sucking the coating off the pills...whut?!?!!! When I was 3-4 I used to get the pickled okra out of the fridge, lick the juice off it and put the okra back in BUT I WAS 3-4 ish!!!  Definitely I. This day and age I don’t want communal bowls of chips or anything. In the good old days I didn’t mind sharing with friends or taking a sip of their drink to try, obviously these are people I know and trust but sigh we have entered a new era.

Does anyone remember when you used to get "jellies" in the box of chocolates? It would be like orange or lemon jelly candy covered in chocolate. I hated it and so I'd take a bite and then make my mom eat it. It wasn't like sneaking it back in the box and quite frankly I think that was how my mom survived, eating the crap we didn't want. But seriously, jellies were nasty as hell.

I will be going to a funeral Tuesday. It’s just a graveside service. My college roommates dad. This was the family I spent most of my holidays with since college. Non Covid. He’d been battling melanoma for a while. Lovely man, somehow reminded me of Elvis.  That cracked my friend up she certainly didn’t see it. But he had a bit of a lip thing and every once in a while he had loose hair like when Elvis was dancing.

Jeeez, I’d take a jelly over ginger in a box of chocs any day, I love ginger in a curry but in a chocolate.....FFS Nooooooo

I buried my Mother’s ashes yesterday in the family piece of ground, we had a laugh and a joke whilst doing it, that’s the way to go if you can manage it, just remember the fun things.

Just a query from afar, are the strange group known as the Alaskan Bush People genuine, or are they as fake as they appear? 

Fake.  A friend of mine was stationed right outside Anchorage for the majority of his Army hitch (JBER for those of you familiar with the area).  While there he married a local girl, and they honeymooned at a getaway place renting “luxury chalets” outside town.  After each day’s shooting, guess what show’s cast members were nightly occupying a few of the adjacent chalets? 🙄

My dentist doesn't do root canals so he referred me to a different dentist that was supposed to do my root canal on Wednesday (a couple of days ago).  He brings me into his office, checks to see which tooth needs the root canal by putting a cold piece of something right on the tooth and I nearly jumped through the ceiling.  He sends me home and says he doesn't have any openings for three weeks.  He  is only in my area on Wednesdays.  I need this tooth root canalled and crowned, and have been waiting for at least two months with multiple dentists dicking around with multiple appointments.  By the time I have that appointment, I will have had a broken tooth waiting for a root canal for three months.

How many dentists does it take to do a root canal?

I am on my third dentist, the first two don't do them.  What the hell?  

They gave me Amoxicillin for that throbbing tooth.   The tooth still hurts. 

I did find an over the counter pain reliever that helps for a little while and then the pain comes right back.   That pain reliever does a number on my stomach.  Given that I have had stomach ulcers, I have to decide which pain I can tolerate more.  The pain from the tooth or the pain from the medication irritating my stomach, causing it to bleed.

Very strange. The only times I've known a dentist to recommend someone else is when a dental surgeon is needed.

Wasn’t that bear grills trick as well? Mr, I’m surviving on sheep bollocks and cow piss whilst sleeping in a ditch, or should that be T-bones and five star hotels 🙄

I notice ‘the browns’ have bought a 400 acre mountain top spread, I didn’t think they actually did any work to speak of, if they do have money, why the hell won’t they fix that poor girls tooth?

Weren’t some of the Alaskan people Jewell’s relatives? That might be a different show. 

my dads service was hilarious. Some guy told a story about my dad when he was an umpire for local baseball. It was something silly but very appropriate. My aunt was rather horrified that I talked about my dads new underwear. (Not at the funeral. Just amongst my sisters) but since my eldest sister was 15 years older than me and I was 20ish we guesstimated his tighty whiteys being about 35 years old. The man knew how to get his money’s worth out of clothes. The elastic waist bands were shot but we opened a suitcase a found a brand new package of undies. So we sent them to the funeral home. (They don’t use them but what the heck) again this was just amongst us. Still made us laugh.

Yeah, she's related to the ones on Alaska: The Last Frontier.  She was actually just on a few episodes ago.  Mr. Max watches; I don't, but I caught it in passing.

The first season I did watch a bit, but it pissed me off because in the opening credits, they listed the men but never the women and the women worked as hard as or harder than the men.

I know an extremely fussy individual whose husband just accepted a job in Alaska, a very remote job in Alaska. I don't think this lady's gonna make it. She's kind of a Karen, always demanding a manager and kind of a hypochondriac. (Here's the deal, she's been telling her family that she's got brain cancer for 10 years) Her own sister doesn't know what to believe because sometimes she claims "immuno compromised" and other times it's not an issue. I would love a reality show of her facing a "dry cabin" or not being to see a doctor for 6 months or grocery shop for months at a time.

The service was very sweet, he had the military flag ceremony and they released doves. I'd never seen that before. Apparently my friend was touched I made it and her son managed to get there from Idaho so I got to see him as well. Sounds wrong to say it was a lovely happy day. Her mom seems to be holding it together fairly well but I think now that the kids are going to be headed home it will start to sink in. but she's got plans, still going on some kind of bus tour vacation for christmas "mystery destination" and they joked about her dating. She said "I'm 76 so I'm never getting married again, I'll just live in sin". I got home at 2 am, stayed a little too long.

BUT! My car hit 100,000 miles on the way home. Full moon, midnight, junction of I-26 and I-95 I was like, shouldn't the devil be around here somewhere to make me an offer for my soul? I'm not using it, it's practically brand new, I should be able to score untold wealth and beauty and fame, all that good shit.

Me, I’d be shooting for Robert Johnson-ish mad guitar skills; Ol’ Scratch ain’t making any offers yet, though, probably because MY soul most likely looks like it has been dragged down a gravel road behind a pickup truck for a half-century or so.
