We don't do apps. But we do thanksgiving lunch then eat a million pies for dinner. I do bring over cinnamon rolls to put in while the oven warms up and make extra so we snack on those all morning.
Add me to the sniffling, sneezing list. DH is hacking up his lungs every 1/2 second not fun.
Hell yes to apps on TDay! We don't usually eat until 4 or 5pm and other than coffee, getting dressed, driving to sil's we are ready to EAT! We do easy stuff for apps but no way to waiting until sit down for something down my throat.
spicysalmonroll, it depends on who we entertain. I usually do when it's my family because we don't usually eat the meal till 5pm. When we entertain ILs, I don't have them out because they usually get here around noon-1pm and we eat the meal at 2pm. I think once we have kids, we'll stick to what works best for us. But even with my family, I start the day with oven baked French toast and I'll make some eggs , and a few hours after breakfast, I'll start putting out the apps.
My SIL is now coming to our house for thanksgiving dinner. As of last night. We already told my sister we'd go to her house. So I guess it's a late lunch at my sisters and a late dinner at my place. I'm running out to buy groceries for that today during lunch. And it won't include a turkey. Sorry not sorry.
Oh and here's a random. Growing up we had Thanksgiving with my dad for lunch then went back to my moms and ate pizza and read through the Black Friday ads at dinner. I kind of miss that.
Also I planned a dentist apt tomorrow and RE is Wednesday so short week for me. But it's my last week working from home.

ironbaby dh's family is notorious for doing these last minute things. I'm such a planner and stickler for good etiquette. Plenty of fights in my house regarding this type of behavior.
Yay for a short work week! I have a half day Wednesday so I only work 2.5 days this week!
I'm thinking of doing the same! Last year work surprised us by giving us all the afternoon before Thanksgiving off, but if they don't do it this year I think I'll just leave early anyway and give my team the afternoon off.

I hear ya. We are hosting Thanksgiving because my IL's extended family invited themselves, and there is no room at my IL's house for them. Just found that out last week.

I wish I worked for you!
I'm a big fan of treating my team like the adults they are. Show me you can get your work done correctly and on time and it earns you freedoms under me. Need to work from home for a day? Go ahead. We're not busy and you want to take off a little early? Have fun. We get busy with required OT the first week of each month so giving some flexibility the rest of the month makes that busy week a bit easier on everyone.

This exactly. I'm in finance so close week is busy. Except it usually spills over to 2nd and 3rd week too. My boss says all the right things but sometimes his actions don't follow thru.

I fear my Keurig is on its last legs so MH and I are thinking of buying a new coffee maker as a joint Christmas gift. I love the Keurig but MH and I have started to be bothered by the fact that you cannot recycle k-cups. I also know we're spending a lot more for coffee with the Keurig than with a regular coffee maker. So now we're torn between buying a new Keurig or just a really nice regular coffee maker, perhaps one that grinds the beans as well. What does GKU think?

The ONLY reason I have a Keurig is because I am the only one who drinks coffee, and I do so rarely, so it's not worth brewing a pot.
If you're both drinking it, or you have more than a single small mug, I say go for the regular one. Many more options with which coffee you use, too.
Or you could get the reusable K-cup and just grind your own beans.

We both drink coffee but during the week, MH is usually the only one who makes coffee at home. But on the weekend, we both drink 2 cups each day. If we get a regular coffee maker, I'll probably switch to making my coffee at home. I have never had luck with the reusable k-cups. The coffee always comes out too weak and with grounds in it. Apparently I don't have the patience to master using them.
So I have been watching Pretty Little Liars because it has been mentioned a lot and I needed something on Netflix to watch. I am on season 4 and I am basically ready to start googling so I can figure things out. This is being drawn out so long and some things are starting to seem a bit ridiculous. I want all the answers now. Lol.
Trying to decide if it is worth ruining it for myself.

We are working on making kcups in plastic material that can be recycled. Just for future reference. I'm not sure about the other components inside of them though.

We definitely do apps on Thanksgiving! At least a veggie tray. It'd be hard to expect people to sit and wait unless they show up right when food is going to be served, IMO. Sorry people are sick! This time of year sucks for that.
It started out pretty decent, but like I said it gets kind of far fetched and unbelievable at times. It is still interesting though. If you like mystery and suspense, teenage drama with some murder mixed in. I have been wanting to google spoilers since season two honestly but I am holding off still.

You definitely have to accept that things in Rosewood do not happen like they do in the rest of the world. Also, time moves at an incredibly slow pace. I'm pretty sure it took 2 seasons to get through 2 months of Rosewood time. But, if you can set all that aside, this show is pretty fun. I will say that we find out who A is at the end of season 6A and season 6B starts in January and there is a 5 year time jump and a new mystery. I would try to hold off on spoilers if you can, I think it will make the final A reveal better.
We are finally moving into our new house this week! Rate limiting factor is how fast I can pack. Hooray! Half of me hates the chore of packing everything up (compounded by the fact that we are literally only moving 2.5 minutes up the road), and half of me loves it because I get to purge clutter and start fresh.

This! I would also try to resist spoilers. I agree it is unbelievable at times but it is definitely one of my favorite GP shows. Keep watching.

Yes I am trying to be good and hold off, but good God, so SLOW!
Also crap... I was thinking that I would find out in season 5 (which is what they go up to on Netflix). Where do i watch season 6A? It is nice to know that I could potentially get caught up and watch it in real time in January. I have seen promos on TV/heard on the radio for the A reveal and then later the time jump. Those things were actually the push for me to actually watch the show. I figured I should watch it before a commercial or something made it impossible for me to be surprised.
Still, SLOOOOOOW. I can't imagine actually watching this show all the way on TV. I would have given up.

FINE!!!
Lol, as much as I want to I am not... I am just trying to zip through these episodes as fast as possible right now. Seriously have been tempted since the 2nd season though.

Do you have On Demand by chance? They might still have the episodes on there. I don't think they'll be on Netflix until the end of season 6. Otherwise, I'm sure. Amazon Prime or Hulu Plus, maybe?
And just a heads up they are airing some sort of special tomorrow. My understanding is that it's not a full episode like the Halloween specials, but more of an interview with cast/crew and probably a couple of teaser clips. Just in case you happen to be watching ABC Family tomorrow night, I don't want anything accidentally spoiled for you.
