Congratulate me. I got uninvited for Thanksgiving! [View all]

One of the 40yr olds in the extended family decided to call me out in the family group page in Facebook over ACA. I don't usually respond to that crap, but the little pissant got overly personal.... brought my late husband's cancer battle into it. Oh, I said my piece alright. Shoved some links to actual facts under his face and made it clear, believe whatever you want but don't dare tell me what I feel.

Thanksgiving is at the pissant's parent's house. That whole wing of the family pretty much just parrots whatever idiocy they see on Truth Social and OANN, or whatever shithole crap they all read now. His mother called me today and said her 40 yr old kid is a dumbass (agreed) - BUT ...... so now I'm free to do what I really wanted to do anyway.

I live in a senior village that has a "sister site" that supports low income seniors. Most have no family. Plus it's in a low income neighborhood with a lot of singles and single parent households. We invite all kinds, young and old to come join for Thanksgiving. The kids put on the pilgrim pageant. One guy shows up as a turkey and hands out gift bags to the kids. It's really a great party.

I've been told to bring my 5 bean baked beans....
