  1. We also do a run every 2 or 3 weeks. We eat a lot of meat so I buy the chicken, beef and salmon in bulk. Their fruit is also top notch. Costco salted peanuts are better than any other peanuts I've ever eaten. Their nut butters (almond, peanut, etc) are fantastic and priced better than any other grocery store. Good spice selection too. That pumpkin cheesecake was absolutely amazing.
  2. I don’t know if I should be flattered or sad. edit: my BIL hasn’t showered or brushed his teeth in 3 days. My SIL is bitching about it.
  3. My dad was still pissed this morning and accidentally backed into my car, side swiping my entire drivers side rear quarter panel. He’s moping around still, getting irritated with everyone. I just decided to leave in the middle of the game and go to my in laws. Tired of his winy bullshit.
  4. Correct. My folks and in laws get along very well and we do combined thanksgivings most years (either at folks house or my in laws). I consider myself an only child now as my brother has completely abandoned the family and hasn’t spoken to my parents or I in 12 years. That’s a story for another thread 😂
  5. Since our parents live in the same town and we have the only grandkid, we typically split the kid two nights with my folks and two nights with hers. I took my son out to my in laws this morning and put the turkey on and hung out/helped get dinner together. I told my wife that I’d be taking our son back to my folks house and just crashing there. We get back to my folks house at 7:15 tonight and as I pull in the driveway, my dad is coming out and putting a suitcase in his truck, my mom is following him…I’m thinking - the fuck is doing on here? I get out of the car and my mom says that my dad is pissed off at her and is leaving. OK - I go inside with my son because I don’t want him to be around that kinda shit. Come to find out that my mom called him out on his weight, doting on my aunt (my aunt is like a child and my dad treats her as such), and various other things in the one hour since they left my in laws and I showed up at their house. Apparently he packed enough shit to leave for a week but ended up coming back inside after about 10 minutes. I can’t make this shit up.
  6. Crazy SIL (one who isn’t here until Christmas) called just so she could bitch about having to work at her CBD shop in a strip mall in BFN Georgia on thanksgiving because all of her help quit. I chortled.
  7. Dinner done. BIL gorged himself and disappeared to go sleep. My wife, MIL, FIL and I cleaned up for 11 people.
  8. SIL and BIL…Jesus…they’re 40 years old and brought literally ALL of their clothes to wash because they live in a house with no running water. Remember the big freeze we had over a year and a half ago? They haven’t fixed their pipes. They “shower” outside with a garden hose. We all went (my wife, FIL, my son, and I) went to do a turkey trot this AM. BIL was still in bed when we left (left at 8:30), called at 9:30 while we were running the fucking race and told my SIL to stop at the grocery store and get him some ice cream because he doesn’t like the stuff my in laws have. Also told her that he needs cherry coke to mix his drinks with. When I got here at 11, he was already passed out and drinking. Oh, he had the keys to a car but is too fucking lazy to drive 5 minutes to the damn gas station. Turkey on the pit. My parents should be here in a couple hours.
  9. No no. I wasn’t expecting a bad season. And I definitely didn’t hope for one. My comment wasn’t meant specifically for you but for the entire board. We go from “we should be in the playoff” to “holy shit we aren’t winning another game with sark in charge” in about 3 plays. I wasn’t trying to single you out at all.
  10. Death, taxes, and gundy shitting himself against blOU.
  11. I wonder what the stadium announced attendance will be?
  12. Texas 37 Kansas 27 Punt yards 153 (4 punts)
  13. My boss' son is on the A&M football team as a walk-on. He told me his son was saying that the majority of the freshman class doesn't really care and has essentially given up on the remainder of the year. He also said that in order to keep Weigman, it'll cost about $750k. Probably not much that isn't already known.
  14. I skinned and spatchcocked the turkey last year with a butter injection (two sticks, melted, with a quarter cup of cholula) and seasoned with BBQ rub and smoked it at 275 for about an hour and a half. Put it in a pan and basted with butter, covered until it hit 160 and then threw some bbq sauce on it. Pulled at 165 in the breast. I've been told that I'm cooking turkeys from now on for Thanksgiving. Will take pics this year.
  15. If only Evan Stewart was that smart...
  16. Looch would be the d-bag who shows up at his 30 year high school reunion in his band letter jacket.
  17. I have an idea of who I'd want as the safety portal guy...but I'm not saying anything because I don't want to get slapped in the teeth.
  18. Bumping this thread as I know folks like @Sbbruin really enjoy my family theatrics. Thanksgiving should be pretty tame this year. Thankfully, I only have one sister in law visiting with her deadbeat husband. I'm cooking a turkey on the grill and we're having a combined thanksgiving with my parents and aunt and my wife's parents and said sister in law. Running a turkey trot the morning of. It should be a good time. Christmas is going to be a colossal clusterfuck and I'll be sure to document everything here. My MIL has quit taking her meds to stop her breast cancer from coming back and this has created some emotional wreckage in the family (can't really blame her or the family - the meds take a toll on her). The batshit crazy SIL will be there with her 60 year old sugar daddy. This woman drives my wife absolutely fucking crazy. When she walks into the room, I just leave. I can't stand to be around her. My dad's depression has gotten worse over the last year and his health has completely fallen off the rails. He got fitted for a CPAP machine but doesn't use it anymore, terrible diet getting even worse, etc. Let's get ready to rumble.
