official Thanksgiving holiday "taking off" thread
« on: November 18, 2010, 12:03:58 PM »
It's a week early, but one has the impression there's many who are taking off early, for Thanksgiving.


As in years past, conservativecave appreciates members here letting everyone know that in real life, they're taking off for the holiday, and won't be around here for a few days.

Family can really interfere with being here.

Thanksgiving Day is usually one of the slowest days of the year on conservativecave, and those motley few of us hanging around, it's nice to know who's here, and who's not.

I'll be here. My mom is going to DC to visit my stepdad for the holiday, so I'm going home to watch the dogs. Won't have anything else to do since she lives in the middle of nowhere. Hell, I'm probably going to Applebees for dinner on Thanksgiving.  :whatever:

And I have to buy beer on my way out there since it's a dry county...  :argh:

I'll be here.  I got a 4-day weekend starting on Friday, but I'm not going anywhere until Thanksgiving afternoon if I do anything at all.

I am not going anywhere.  Hoping to get a lot of stuff done around the house, taking advantage of the long weekend.

You know, chris_, that seems to be the way it's always worked out, for years, going clear back to our old home.

On Thanksgiving, chris_ and franksolich usually are the only authorities on-line here.

And for an hour or two at a time, the only two people here, period.

But.....as I've always said since I was a teenager, working at the old Henkle & Joyce Hardware Co. in Lincoln, always the last one to depart (the place had circa 100 employees) on a holiday eve, or on Friday afternoons--"somebody's got to keep the lights burning."

I'll be here in SNJ enjoying not having to drive in traffic for 5 days -- taking Monday off as well as I need to burn a vacation day before I start losing them.

I'll probably pop in and out of here periodically if/when I can chase the teenager off the laptop!  :-)

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government.

That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

We do our own little thing on Thanksgiving instead of traveling to see the drama queens of the family.  ;)

Doubt I'll have alot of time to post or even lurk on Thanksgiving Day itself, since it's a labor intensive day for me in the kitchen.  But I will try...

I'll be here.

Taking a 5-day weekend since I didn't get to take Veteran's Day off, I took the day before Thanksgiving in lieu of pay.  Gives me a chance to take the car in for the 60K service.

I'll be having Thanksgiving Day brunch with the wife, daughter and grandbaby then onto Disneyland to shoot tonight's show.  We are taking the weekend off to head to Santa Barbara with my surfing buddys for our annual Thanksgiving surf strip.  Not looking forward to the cold water, but it will be nice to get away for a few days.
