Conservative Thread: We cannot do everything at once, but we can do something at once

[rie'smom]

Hey y'all checkin' in for a sec. We were at WDW from last Wed until today when we switched to the Royal Pacific where we'll stay 'til we go home Sat. night.
You guys move wayyyyy fast. I won't catch up til I get home.
Did we take back the ? .

That's why I have my user cp favorited and I just come directly here and my sp animals thread. I rarely venture out.

Yup. It's the only way that I can keep my sanity. I've stopped venturing out onto the CB (at least I have until you guys come in here going on about some thread that I just *have* to go and check out. )

Just wanted to say hi, have not been on for a few weeks I think the election took the starch out of me. LOL!

Hi y'all! Boy, I've missed this thread. I took a (much needed) break from politics for awhile but I missed hanging out here. I just wanted to wish everyone a happy, healthy, and safe Thanksgiving!

Now, to get myself back to the basics (sorry, borrowing from the last thread), I have a new motto (which some of you might have heard before, so I apologize in advance):

I'll keep my God, my freedom, my guns, and my money.

You can keep THE CHANGE!

Hey guys! Welcome back! Things were insane yesterday but apparently all's back to normal today.


Well, if the Russian is correct... Texas will be its own country. Half the world already thinks it is. Apparently there's a group or two here in Texas that thinks it is also. Should be interesting.

Mr. Man, Grog: Will we have a President Perry? Or maybe Kinky will run again. (Wait. Kinky may still be running right now.)

Hi Hope you're having a great time! How's the weather? We're heading down to WDW on Dec. 7th. It's been so miserable up here that I can't wait to get me some warm Florida weather.

The weather has been gorgeous-cool in the morning and warming up in the afternoon! I hope it stays as beautiful for your trip!

Thanks! Sounds like perfect weather to me. We are very excited! Six adults and 3 kids (just the right ratio )

I just might have to borrow that to add to my signature

You're right on the ratio! WDW can flat wear out a person. It helps to have other adults!!!

BELLA!!! We've missed you! While you were gone someone told us that the food and drink in here weren't real! We were scared for a bit, but we've regrouped into a stronger, thicker skinned bunch. LOL

OH NO! By the way I have been craving some of Breezy's Lasagna. We should share our recipies.

Absolutely, borrow away. I was thinking of putting it in my siggie too!

Have fun! Let us know how you like the Royal Pacific.

I wish I was going to WDW for Thanksgiving. I have 27 people coming for dinner here on Thursday.........much cooking......going to need a break at some point but do not see much opportunity as our oldest turns 8 on Friday......party for 15 boys......

Still, it will be nice having the whole family together.

Wow, Mr Man, and I was complaining about having 6 people for Thanksgiving dinner. Of course I have a 20-lb turkey to cook (we like leftovers!)

How on earth will you keep 15 boys entertained???




btw, I am very proud of myself for finally learning to multi-quote. I can now take up less cyberspace and do my part for the environment.

Nice

multi-

quoting......

They are all going to build tool-boxes (got some cool kits left over from Cub Scout camp-out last month) & we also have a great video game arcade at the house (yeah, I'm a deeply closeted gadget nerd).

Well that and hot dog/B-day cake overload.

Good times.

I didn't know Brit Hume was leaving. Where is he going?

I think he's retiring -- and getting more involved with a Bible study he and his wife currently attend [I thought that was kinda cool and made me a little ashamed that I always thought of him as a human pound puppy]

Just wanted to say hi, have not been on for a few weeks I think the election took the starch out of me. LOL!

Welcome back, Bella! We need your starch back with us!

I think the election put the starch in me -- I'm rarin' to go! Go where???? dunno...

Although I'm taking a political mental break until after Thanksgiving. That holiday is stressful enough without politics added to it. I used to love Turkey Day, but after my grandfather passed away a few years ago, things changed a lot. Not the same anymore. And I'm just wondering what will go wrong this time, seeing as something happens every year now.

yeah, a few years ago the bulwarks of my family passed away [grandma and uncle] and our family hasn't been the same. I have lovely friends who are extremely kind and treat me like their own family - a really sweet Thanksgiving present from God Himself.

I do hope you can find grace this Thanksgiving - yeah, things won't be the same but that doesn't have to mean that the holiday isn't worth celebrating. Maybe try a new tradition - completely apart from family and its issues. [I know, easier said than done...]

All that to say --

Well, if the Russian is correct... Texas will be its own country. Half the world already thinks it is. Apparently there's a group or two here in Texas that thinks it is also. Should be interesting.

Mr. Man, Grog: Will we have a President Perry? Or maybe Kinky will run again. (Wait. Kinky may still be running right now.)

I'm in a bit of a quandary over which state to go to -- Texas, in the great tradition of TN volunteers long ago or Alaska where some delicious borscht and perogis are awaiting? Decisions, decisions....

And I guess that Russian analyst doesn't know that our economy, as recessed as it is, is still much stronger than Russia's, China's or Europe's - or at least it is now....

I might have to borrow the change.

You are on IT, Michelle!

Nancy Pelosi would be soo proud!!!

 

[debbieandroo]

Goodness, I hope no one lets SP near these -- killing something this beautiful would truly be tragic!

Oh no!!! must go back to single quoting!

Those are so cute! Are they put together with icing?

Good call, I hadn't noticed -- here's the recipe from http://seamuffin.blogspot.com/2008/11/theiving-again.html

Thanksgiving Turkeys

48 double stuff Oreos
144 candy corns
24 malted milk balls
24 miniature Reese's cups

White, red, orange and black royal icing (or purchased decorating frosting)
Using white icing, attach unwrapped a Reese's cup to one face of an Oreo, placing it off-center such that it comes to the edge of the cookie. Affix a malted milk ball to the same cookie such that it too comes to the edge of the cookie, but at a point 180° around the cookie. (In other words, the points at which the peanut butter cup and the malted milk ball touch the edges of the cookie fall on a line that bisects the cookie.) Repeat until half of Oreos are assembled this way. Allow icing to dry.

Apply icing between the two faces of the cookies, where the candy corns will be placed for feathers. (These should be the cookies to which candy is already attached.) The icing will go in an arc around the malted milk ball that almost forms a semi-circle. Press five candy corns into the icing and Oreo filling, spacing evenly. Repeat for remaining cookies.

Dot each malted milk ball twice with white icing, for eyes. Make a third line down the middle, thicker at the top than the bottom (an upside-down isosceles triangle), for the nose. Use two dark dots of icing coloring on top of the eyes to make pupils. Again, allow to dry.

Lay down all the remaining (plain) Oreos and attach a decorated Oreo to each, perpendicularly. The turkey should now be standing up. Be sure to leave enough space for one candy corn "tail feather" on the back, and for iced feet on the front.

Using orange icing, make two feet for each turkey (at the base of the Reese's candy). Use red icing, just under the nose, to make the snood. Allow to dry.

Good news...

Coleman is in the lead with 78% of precincts reporting.

Not so good news...

3,000 ballots have been challenged - in the end, the canvassing board will decide the winner

Good news...

Saxby Chambliss is 3 points ahead in the polls in GA and SP is going to stump for him next week.

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

Howdy. I see I've missed 500 posts on the new thread. Oh well, no use to try and catch up.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I have lots of blessings to count this week, and hope it's the same for each of my conservative friends.

*and even for all you liberal lurkers too!*

Holiday photo time! OK, everybody say cheese!
