Molpet....I know in my head those turkeys are hardy...more so thsn me! I just fuss over them. Entitled & spoiled. But that's ok. They sure get away with more than any of my dogs ever did!!

See!! I feel justified in not putting a soaked turkey to bed in freezing temps! Of course down here it probably wouldn't get cold enough to kill them. But it just sounds uncomfortable.

I'm not eating garlic. I can't do it. Now I'm wondering if I have the flu. I did get my shot. Just feel terrible.

Seems this years flu shot is a swing & a miss. From what I've read it's not effective against the two most prevalent strains out there. I get the flu shot every year. I've never got sick from it. Not really sure I've ever actually had the flu. Even as a kid. Went to the doctor. I have a sinus infection. Staying home today....should be better tomorrow! Didn't have the guts to do the garlic thing. Sorry to be whinny....being sick is so inconvenient!

It's only 27 here right now. But the sun is out.

Fighting turkeys....freaks me out. They can be so mean.

Apparently I have a sinus infection. Decided to try gargling with a bit of warm salt water. Now I have laryngitis. How do you hurt yourself gargling??

I think one of you should write an article! We're so fascinated....just think how many other folks would benefit.

My Netti pot!! Forgot about it! Thanks Ralphie! After losing the ability to talk after the gargling incident...I'll probably loose my ability to smell.

That's good news Bantambird! I need to come to your house to get nursed back to health!!

Turkey soup! I'd rather a sausage & kraut! I must be feeling better. Food is sounding good again!

Rained all day. Just pitiful!!
