cj, it's time for the foot!! You rest and let everyone else do it this year, darn it!!
As you can see from Laurie's response, we have a lot of very helpful people here! Spend a little time looking over the index. You will see that we have a forum for poultry, and we also have one on food safety....Another vent is that I am new to this website and am having a hard time finding where to ask such questions.
Ouch, on all accounts! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Take care of that foot, even if it means making them take you out for Thanksgiving dinner this year! Or you could plunk yourself into your favorite chair, put your foot up, and pass out some aprons and recipes!...I'm done now, I just need to get this off my chest before tomorrow. I will get through this and try my best to enjoy the day.

No you are not being a poop. I'll give you the same advice--sit down and pass out aprons and recipes. You don't feel well, and this year you should sit down and relax (I know, I know!) and let them wait on you for a change.I have been pretty ill the last 3-4 days and now at least the pain is gone..It was so bad that pin meds didn't touch it. Now I need to get stuffing made and cranberry sauce..DH Is going shopping for me now and in the last 15 minutes he has asked me at least 30 questions, what size garbanzo beans, what brand, do you want canned cranberries,? Nope get the fresh so I can cook them, on and on and on..Right this minute I could just scream..I'm weak as hell and don't even want to do this..Am I being a poop or what? While he is gone I'm going to try and nap for a few minutes...My daughter should be here soon and I know she will help but it will be another round of questions..What I wouldn't give to hide for a week..Thanks for listening guys..hugs,

Thank you for being so helpful Laurie!I have put a message on your user control panel. You will see a link in the top right corner of your screen under "your notifications", or you can link to it in the top blue menu, second in called "User CP".
I hope you feel better! Did you give that, "I meant to do that" look that we all seem to do when we do things like that? I remember hitting a patch of ice and falling in someone's driveway in Minnesota. I would have preferred sitting there for at least 30 seconds crying and feeling sorry for myself, but of course I got up with that sheepish look on my face, and walked on!i fell on a sidewalk. ouch!!! my knee smarts!!
i was kinda embarrassed...

argh my cat just knocked over my favorite bowl... it wasnt valueable it was a bright orange vintage pyrex mixing bowl I really liked... this is the third pet victim of my vintage cookware... which is why I buy cheap... Of course it shattered into a million pieces which I thought I got... swept, vaccumed, mopped and still I just found a big chunk in my dogs mouth... he will chew on ANYTHING!
I have had a weepy day--all my mom wanted to do was sleep during my visit. It is so hard to deal with dementia.

PS,I have seen far to much illness while caring for my parents. My father had such an ugly death--it was so unfair as he was such a kind, generous and giving person. I hated watching him suffer and now, I am watching a different kind of ugly death. 12 years of caregiving is a verylong long.

You could put it in the stuffing! J/K! I hope all goes well!I'm staying with my dad and step mother for Thanksgiving. All the rest of the attendees will be my step mother's family... it is going to be awkward, and I'm afraid I'll screw up my stuffing. I didn't bring enough medication for this!!

I just had a pretty bad day at work, starting a half hour into it. It didn't really stop until I got home at 7:30. Hopefully tomorrow is better, but I'm skeptical as it seems to be a long term issue.
wishing you all blessings today. missing my parents and the family we once were... this our "new" normal - spending the day with friends and we are grateful for them. Treasure your precious memories. Today may not be what you wanted it to be, but its what you make of it that counts. (((hugs))) to you all, friends.
And tomorrow - is a new day.
