Do I have to do everything around here?

That's not really a hint. That's more like blurting the whole thing out.

This would be a hint:
Ununoctium, Jersey's rofl smilie may not be what it first appears.

Hoover may have had an agenda.

In keeping with the topic, Lincoln may have had an agenda as well. Just goes to show how "holidays" are manipulated to suit the current trends.

Now it's all about shopping and gorging.

Aborigines?

Re: Thanksgiving 2011 Megathread

Mixed blessing here. We FINALLY got our work schedule last night instead of Tues, latest Wed as normal.

I was supposed to work today, but got called while at my duty station yesterday to tell me to take today off since I had too many hours for the week. I was already scheduled to be off Sun. So I get the weekend off. The afore mentioned schedule ALSO has me off Monday, which had I known that would've gone down to see my Mom who I haven't seen since Xmas.

The schedule has me off Thanksgiving and Friday which IS nice since I fully expected to work, but again not enough time to visit family, so it'll be me and DH going to Cracker Barrel for our holiday dinner.

My son is working Thursday night at one of his jobs 9pm to 2 am and then going in to his other job Friday 11 am to 8 pm.
