A commercial about domestic violence just came on and SIL's brother's gf just stated that "it shouldn't matter what you do at home." WTF. I'm done.
I would have asked what century I was in.
The worst part is that they keep looking at FIL thinking that he agrees, but he's against guns and in support of Ferguson protests. He's just not confrontational at all so he doesn't say anything.

Bimbi, that's amazing!!
Am I a bitch for getting crazy annoyed that I pack a giant plate of amazing food from my parents' Thanksgiving for MIL and she proceeds to feed most of it to the dogs? It's not dog food. It's amazing people food. Eat it or I'm keeping it for myself.

Aaaaand my brother didn't pay his phone bill so it was disconnected.
I texted my dad to ask so my brother called me on my dad's phone. But my mom isn't going to call my dad's phone. And she called me to make sure she had brother's phone number right.
TL;DR: Mom isn't going to talk to Brother on Thanksgiving, and now I'm sad. Sigh. Family.

Can you call your brother back on your Dad's phone and ask him to call your mom?

Maybe. I dunno. I'm kinda drunk. This seems complicated. But I think I'll give it a try.

KateAggie, I tried your plan. Alas, my brother had already gone back to his cabin (he lives in a small cabin on my dad's 15-acre property...it's all real weird for this suburbs gal). So I didn't want to ask Dad to put on shoes and traipse over to the cabin to get Brother. Oh well. Supposedly Brother is re-loading his phone tomorrow.
@mryrcon, I remember that you are in NC, but are you in the eastern or western part of the state?
Every thanksgiving I have big plans to pig put but I can never eat as much as I intended to.
Truly random-I've decided that I want my oldest to have a Paddington Bear type coat for kindergarten (which is in like 1.5yrs, lol). Where can I get one?
Now that my MIL isn't leaving her house much, I wonder if she will let me have her rascal. I think I need it after today. And I haven't even eaten dessert yet.

We just ate dessert. I made Southern Living's Derby Pie (chocolate bourbon pecan pie).
I hate myself, so according to Louis CK, the meal is finally over.
I had to pour out my last glass of fall sangria. Nobody helped me drink the second pitcher, and I probably put away half the first pitcher on my own. I just hit my wall on apple cider/sugar. I could probably still drink straight bourbon. Still, I feel guilty about pouring out booze.
DH and I were taking a post turkey walk around the neighborhood when a guy came up to us and asked if we had seen a hawk. And I'm like "you mean like the bird?" And he said yes.
We thought he was on drugs until we saw another girl looking up in a tree. Who the hell keeps a hawk as a pet?!? It was dark outside so I have no idea how they'll find it.
