Have you seen this? NGL, I teared up. This feels like growing up in my house. No preachy BS, nothing woke. It's about damn time.
lol no. Prep was done the day before. That was 4 hours ordeal itself. This year I cooked for 17 people. 30 pound Turkey Spiral Ham x2 Mashed Potato Potato Salad Deviled Eggs Southern Mac & Cheese {My husband made this} Real Cranberry Sauce Collard Greens with Ham-hock and Bacon Brioche Bacon Stuffing Corn on the Cob Green Bean Casserole Funeral Potatoes {special request for my cousin} Brussels sprouts with bacon and a sweet glaze. Cornbread Homemade Hawaiian Rolls {because I am not a super big fan of cornbread} Biscuits (requested by my father in law) with Sausage Gravy Fried Green Tomatoes Jambalaya {the only thing I realllllllly wanted} Maque Choux And I ordered pies from a Bakery. ****************** Today I have to prep for tomorrow's "Christmas Dinner" for my husband as he leaves on Monday Rack of Lamb Roasted Vegetables with a honey glaze Roasted Potatoes Mushroom Risotto And for me and a few other friends and family who really don't like Lamb Clam Chowder Crab Cakes Lobster and Dungeness Crab {a little taste of home} Coleslaw The reason I don't let others help me cook.... I'm super picky about food, and I don't like cooking around other people. Get out of my kitchen and let me be. Next year... Taste of Japan and South Korea. I've already told my family I'm not doing traditional Thanksgiving. I want Karaage, Sushi, Ramen and Curry.
Almost 7 hours of cooking, and now I have a pinched nerve in the neck, lower back pain and zero desire to do anything other then sit down and avoid food
My husband rarely takes time off...I can't stress how big of a workaholic he is, and I'm good with that. I like my space, so seeing him 4 days a month is great for me. We aren't needy people. It's why we've been married 24 years, if I had to see him every day I'd pull my hair out lol. Thanksgiving is the one holiday he loves, so this week becomes his “holiday season” for the entire year. He’ll be home for five days, which means all of our festive traditions need to happen now. During this week, he’ll open his Christmas gifts, enjoy both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, and finish his Christmas shopping. His whole family is here, along with mine and his closest friends from Seattle. I always go the extra mile for him at Thanksgiving, because once this week ends I won’t see him again until after Christmas, and his family won’t see him until next year, they’re just as busy with work as he is. On November 30th, the day before he returns to work, we’ll celebrate together: he’ll open his gifts, we’ll go ice skating (its a tradition for us), finish up the last of the shopping, and visit Krampus (its something he does for me), and then Santa. Turkey - Tomorrow. Sunday - Lamb/Lobster/Crab (he loves lamb, and I love seafood)
Almost 3 hours of Thanksgiving prep and I feel like I've done almost nothing.
LOL facts.
Matt’s right... please go ahead and upload your videos/pics directly to our site to avoid dead links down the line. There’s a lot more behind why hosting images on our servers matters, but suffice it to say, it’s extremely helpful when you do. If you’re unable to upload to BZ for any reason, that’s understandable, but overall, please prioritize uploading both videos and pictures to our site. Thank you!!! Thread cleaned. "Alright, I understand that, but I'm not going to register (or wait two minutes to start downloading) on those sites just to view the clip. It would be much easier and faster to just upload them here. Plus, once those hosts (K2S, Filejoker) go under (like so many have lately), we’re left with dead links and a few screencaps."
What in the actual fuck is going on in this thread? I'm going to go back pages and try to read the chow chow. I'm also going to clean up the thread as needed.
That was toward the end of their public clearance, just before the company shut its doors to individual buyers, those are small Ez Treezy trees that were still circulating. That's 6 payments of $66, so those trees you posted are actually $400 on sale. When they first launched, they retailed around $700 USD. And yes, Pheno gifted me three of them, knowing how much I adore Christmas. About six years ago, someone mentioned they were going for $700. It seems most people weren’t willing to spend $600 to $1,000 on a designer tree, which ultimately led the owner to pivot. After a few seasons, they transitioned to a commercial model, renting trees out to businesses and event planners instead.
Pheno - it's time
First tree’s up for the season, two more to go, and then I begin on the rest of my house. Years ago Pheno gifted me three Christmas trees that had been featured on Shark Tank. I later added four more to the collection so now I’ve got seven of the original nine they offered. examples: They've gone private rental now, and if you want get to the very trees I once bought for $700–$1000, you'll have to shell out thousands, to rent them for the holidays. https://www.easytreezy.com/ Easy TreezyEasy Treezy - Easy Treezy Commercial Holiday Décor
Already ready for Christmasween! Also actually me one hour ago with my husband ... I'm not kidding. Three Christmas Tree's in my livingroom will be up by the end of the day.
Just a quick reminder that these images were already posted, just two posts above yours. Please take a moment to double-check before posting. We ask all members to review at least the last five pages to avoid duplicates. If your images are significantly larger or show a clear, notable improvement in quality, that’s perfectly fine, go ahead and post. But repeated reposts increase our hosting costs, and we’re trying to keep things less expensive lol. This isn’t a huge ask. We ask that you go back 5 pages to make sure images aren't repeats, if it happens it happened, but we’ve noticed you’re one of the few users who consistently overlooks this. If it continues, we’ll need to place your account under mod watch, which means all future posts will require staff approval before being seen...
The video of Cassidy has been removed by her request.
I hadn't even heard about the movie. I'll be checking it out because I am a fan of her movies.
Our family does in fact have an official flag bearing the coat of arms, personally gifted to my grandfather by the Queen herself. I believe my Grandfather is one of her cousins from I believe her mom's side of the family. I honestly don't know, I haven't put much thought into how they're related. I just know that the coat of arms is extremely important to my family and because I thought I lost it I've felt extremely bad for years. This is my ancestry from the last 5 generations. As for the dog, I’m hopeful she’ll mesh well with our other animals. If she does, she’ll be enrolled in professional training immediately. Mastiffs are typically calm and gentle, but they’re notorious for resource guarding and can become so protective that guests aren’t welcome until the dog decides they’re acceptable. At nine months old, I have no idea what kind of socialization she’s had... if any, and given her size, that carries risk. When we brought home our Bullmastiff and Corso, they were just two months old. We started immediately: vet visits, grooming appointments, and near-daily introductions to everyone in our lives. Petco, local shops, parks, downtown walks, constant exposure. By five months, they were ready for formal training. This new girl, though, she’s super skinny for her size, but, muscular, and already showing signs of resource guarding from the people at the shelter. That’s manageable with our dogs, who’ll give her space. It’s the cats I’m concerned about. Many people won’t take on a dog this size due to the financial strain and potential liability. But with my husband only home four or five days a month, I feel deeply secure in my home with my current dogs. That kind of peace is a blessing. Yes, we have weapons in the house, but I’d rather the dogs serve as deterrents first is shit goes sideways.
@Matt! I donated $250 to my local animal rescue, and the universe threw me a full sevenfold hug. As the plumber wrapped up installing my new water heater, he caught something we thought was already handled: a hidden leak. Not in the washing machine like we thought (which is why we bought a new machine), but in the wall of my laundry room. He spotted it instantly. I already had a $1,575 bill because of labor, heater, new pipes and shutoff valve. So when he said “leak,” my soul let my fucking body lol, I thought this was going to be another 500+ dollars fix, but no, he fixed it in five minutes and only charged me $25. That’s it. Total damage: $1,600. Could’ve been $2,000 easy, especially since he had to cut into the wall. But karma was on my side!!! My mother-in-law? Glorious. Our visit? Genuinely lovely, which shocked the hell out of me. AND! about 22 years ago I thought I had lost my families' coat of arms. It was given to my Grandfather by Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands (little know fact but my dad's dad is related to the Queen). This was for my Grandparents attending some event for Wilhelmina's daughter. I've removed my family name for privacy. So my Mother in Law FOUND our coat of arms at my Father in Law's house in Seattle. She’s having it restored and sent to me. And today marks the final day of summer like temps of 83°F (28°C). Tomorrow is ALL AUTUMN!!! with highs in the 68s (20°C), lows of 40s (14°C). One more twist in the karmic happiness: the animal shelter I donated to has a puppy I might be adopting. We’re planning a meet-up in the park so she can be properly introduced to my current dogs, a Bullmastiff and a Cane Corso. This is the possible new girl.. A Bullmastiff–English Mastiff mix. Nine months old, already 92.7 pounds, and projected to surpass 215+ If all goes well, she’ll be joining the home soon. It's just one of those days. Prettyphile_s Video - Oct 18, 2025-VEED.mp4
