Pluggers by Rick McKee for November 23, 2023

He gave thanks for all of that long before today.

As I prepare for todays festivities I whisper, “Be strong” to my elastic waistband.

What are Spanx? All of a sudden I feel deprived.

Happy Thanksgiving to all ! Try to control the Pie Hole ;-)

Maybe this is what he meant by “Make America Great Again”; but Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

You would expect the cartoon to show a Bear character prior to Hibernation.

After eating all that turkey, I’m thankful end up napping through most of the football games.

None of the above. Since I make most of the meal, I stick to the basics.

CHURCH!

You lost me at Spanx!

gross

Give that Dawg a larger plate !

Grew up in a family of only four and we never over ate, gluttony was not in our vocabulary. I never understood the need to stuff one’s face on Thanksgiving.

Agreed.

Stretch pants that have no other choice.

And portable defibrillators.

“Pluggers everywhere” in the US. We gave thanks last month in Canada ;-)

Load my plate again, I’m not sleepy yet.

I hope everybody ate well or is about to have dinner.

We don’t overeat as we have to stay on our Diabetes diets/high blood pressure/low thyroid diets. (And whatever is ok for one medical condition is a problem for one of the others.) “Cheating” on a diet is only cheating on one’s self.

I cooked Thanksgiving dinner same as I used to cook when our families joined us for same. Yes, an entire turkey for 2 people. We will eat it during this week following holiday and then I will freeze the rest to use in meals over time. Vegetables will be replaced with new vegetables as the week goes along and for later meals- same with stuffing. Over about 2 weeks the pies will be eaten – 1/16 of a pie at a time each.
