    • I’m With You

      From Person913 Today

    • Hug

      From LdMay Yesterday

      i'm good...i have a love/hate relationship with thanksgiving...i enjoy cooking, but i don't get along well with my inlaws, so it's always akward having them at my house. And the ladies in Allen's family don't offer to help me clean up or anything, so i cook for 3 days for them, and then have to do all the cleanup myself. Which is SO against the way i was raised, so i have a hard time keeping my mouth shut. In my family, if one lady prepares a large family meal, all the female guests do the cleanup, without being asked. Eh...oh well...its just one day right? Then it's over for another year.
