Can we get some flamefuls going?

[iamali]

FOR REALS. I HAVE 3 HOURS LEFT PEOPLE, ENTERTAIN ME.

[iammalcolmx]

I need entertainment as well.

Ok, I'll admit to one: I signed up to host up to 4 foreign students for Thanksgiving and now it's going to happen and I am really nervous and regretting it.

I haven't hosted Thanksgiving for anyone but my immediate family (4 people) before, and even then I haven't done it very often. I don't have the timing/logistics down, plus what are we going to talk about, plus how long should I expect them to stay, plus, I don't know, I'm just panicking a little.

Nutella is gross.

I'm going to a friends for Thanksgiving. I've offered to help with something, but I'm really, really hoping she doesn't ask me to do anything because I just wnat to be lazy as fuck.

This is flamefuls, not facts.

Try again.

My boss sent me to a seminar today, and I'm contemplating leaving early.

I love big Thanksgivings with lots of people bringing different dishes and catching up with family and being silly and running out of cutlery and eating too much. And this year it is just my parents, uncle, and aunt. That is it. The food will be small, no one will want to play games (my favorite thing to do ever with my family), and we will watch football.


I am bringing wine and beer and plan to drink a lot. Not even my brother and SIL will be there. I am disappoint that the perfect Thanksgiving will not be had and kind of want to stay at home. I am 12.

I just found the perfect save the dates and they're from David's Bridal

My daughter told me she wanted to join girl scouts and I am ridiculously excited. I've already paid for her membership through our state council and we are going to an event tomorrow put on by her future troop and I'm hoping to get her all signed up. My flameful is I wish I could earn patches!

The last time I went to something like this I popped in for 2.5 hours and jetted for the rest of the day.

I want our wedding favours to be maple sugar candies (esp because there will be many non-Canadians there). FI thinks it should be an item, and that people don't want food. He likes how his cousin gave little dishes at his wedding for favours.
Nobody wants a fucking dish and I am not spending all that money on shit that people don't want.

It's his wedding too, compromise, blah blah blah.

Aw, I think that's great!  I wish you could, too. 

A summer camp in our state does a "family weekend" at the end of summer where the whole family gets to stay in the tent-cabins and do arts & crafts and swim in the lake and learn camp songs and I absolutely loved it.  It was like being back at scout camp.   Friendship bracelets and tie-dye for the win!

I would LOVE to. I've already signed in, the place is ten minutes from home. It's not a bad seminar, but the idea off having the house to myself is tantalizing.

You are crazy.  I had a nutella ice cream cone on Wednesday.  Food of the gods...

DS2's favorite meal EVAH is spaghetti and I've been promising him for weeks that I'd made it for him. And I still haven't.

FI is wrong. Food is the best wedding favor.

If I go to a wedding and it's a non-food favor, I leave it on the table.

[ZoeHart]

I've given up on even looking like I'm working. I keep waiting for someone to ask why I'm playing on my phone and no one has yet.

I could not be more on your side with this.  NO ONE WANTS AN ITEM.  Everyone loves candy and if not, they will give it to someone else.  If you give them a thing, they have to figure out what to do with it.  I am definitely in favor of the candy here.

My dress was from David's Bridal, apparently that's flameful here?

Nah, I don't think so.

[firelight1210]

We had Lego favors at my wedding (I made little kits and an instruction booklet that puts together a heart ornament - we had a December wedding), while fun, and people enjoyed it, I think food would have gone over better and been MUCH less time consuming.

[luckyval]

I don't think Taylor Swift has that good of a voice. But her songs are catchy.

[wambam]

I'm wistfully thinking of that glorious wedding to where the favor was homemade jam and I ate the jam as my dessert because they had all-wheaty desserts. That was the best day.

[schitzengiggles]

I've put this in flamefuls before....but with Halloween having just gone by, it bears repeating.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are nasty.

[zoomzoom]

Food for favors or nothing at all. I don't need to commemorate anyone's wedding date but my own. FFS.
