silliness!!!
ok, tell the truth time!!!

down the block, at the supermarket here, for just 70 bucks, they will sell you a cooked 20 pound turkey with all the junk that goes with it, you know, mashed taters, yams, veggies, stuffing, etc etc etc.. or a ham with all the junk. so, my question to you is, how many of you folks out there are gonna cheat! (hahaa) and goto the supermarket and get a already cooked thanksgiving dinner? i'm thinking that my market down the street aint the only one on the planet offering up such a treat! also, how many of ya gonna go for the free food thats being offered in your community? and how many folks here are gonna slave over a hot kitchen, and whip up a treat that the whole family will eat?

as for me, i will be working on thanksgiving day, 16 hours! from 9 am til 1 am! also, on thanksgiving like last year, there will be free eating at the delta center (the best) and the greek church down the street (second place) and at the mission (third place) and the shelter (the worst) all these free eats are within a 5 block radius of the hotel, and i will be going to the delta center!

speaking of free food!! on monday the 14th from 5 pm to 9 pm. golden corral resturants will be offering up a free buffet dinner to all veterans, and military personnel!!! so, if you are a vet, or still in the military, and you have a golden corral, its time to eat on monday night!!
