My, My... How the narrative has changed thru the years!
Happy Thanksgiving 2018 to everyone on the forum! Despite some of our political differences I still maintain we are the most civil and open forum on the internet!
That said,

1 glass? Damn! How you do it? When I start game over till I am trashed :)
Enjoy your chicken pizza. I figured you guys ate roos or something for TG. :) Hmmm stuffed roo sounds good.
LOL,
Years of steady brain-numbing means that I don't really get drunk anymore...I've slowed down & it takes all-night to get really smashed, & that's expensive lol ! For me, the "sensation" seems no-different after having 2-drinks, or 20, but I get to stay healthier only needing 2 lol !
The pizza was good thanks mate !
Yes, in very recent years, things like Roo, Wallaby & even Crocodile have become part of the regular menu that you might see in some restaurants. I've tried some of each over the years, & been surprised at how edible & tasty the meat is, to be honest. But you likely need to appreciate a "well-done" steak, that's loaded with the right herb & spices to really like these things.

It's been an honor to say the least... this year I have a touch of a cold that I thought could be cured quickly with imbibing... but turned out the next morning I still had a touch of a cold but with a major hang-over! LOL
I'd like to think it helped as I'm feeling a fair bit better right now, but I don't want to spread anything so I'm thinking of distancing myself from the family for Thanksgiving dinner because I don't want to get anyone sick... It's just next door anyway, so I can just go over in the window and wave to everyone while I wait for them to leave my plate at the front door.
I'm happy to see that you've acquired a flu, & not claimed a "you-know-what 2019" Stellar lol.
*Apparently there's been a major scare in my home state of Victoria with the "you-know-what", & even my Dad has been diagnosed with it, probably a result from his vaccinations...But his vitality is low etc etc from just coming off a few years of leukemia treatment. I'm sure he'll be OK.

I'm feeling a lot better now Rastus! About 72 hours it took, only felt sick for 12 hours of it thought... and even then it wasn't accompanied by a fever or nausea, or even body aches this time...
That is one thing we have to be mindful of when people get sick, THEY NEED REST! LOTS AND LOTS OF REST! With all that I have going on around here it took a lot to be able to say FUCK EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING, I need to rest and get better or this is just going to get worse and draw out longer! Sure enough, rest really goes a long way in helping to improve your health when you're under the weather. There is never any shortage of people to scare you either, as they try and put a name on your virus.
This Thanksgiving I just dropped by the front door of my Mom's, let everyone know I was all showered up and ready to feast but for their safety - and the fact I was feeling poorly just the day before, that I would stay home and not even take a risk. I feel it was the right thing to do... lots of elders there, and even the kids don't need to be slowed down with my virus because I felt so important that I'd risk their health for a meal. I guess the COVID pandemic conditioned me well, as I realize that special days are only special if the people you love who make them special are special enough for you to not take any risks with their health. I really think my Mom tries to take on too much during the holidays and she's getting older... I am going to demand that this Christmas she accepts some help, or even passes down the bulk of the responsibilites from here on out... It's a lot of work to prepare a feast and then pull it off! Lot of planning, buying stuff and having all your ducks or birds in a row, then pulling off the cook / prep and everything else! In years past I have always sort of let these things pass out of respect for my Mom, but now it's time where that is out the window and it's just too much on her! And she will put up a fight, I'm sure! But it's time to pass the torch!
I also think a lot of it has had to do with allergies from all our trees and the changing of the seasons... cold then hot temps bring out the pollen... also I am doing a LOT of rennovation where I'm exposed to old dust that may contain mouse and or other kinds of petrified poop and virus laden crap... I try and mask up when the dust flies, but it's particulate and it's going to be in the air and all over me until whatever I am working on is finished... the only silver lining is that when I get done, none of this crap exist any longer since I am cleaning as I go along.
Sometimes I wonder if it would have been a lot safer and more productive to just bulldoze the house and build a new one... especially when it comes to dealing with areas that sit largely un-touched for decades at a time... but fixing up old things has always been a passion of mine, so I must keep my system strong as I am sure this old house won't be my last.
Just feels good to be back to normal again, that's all!
Also, Rastus... I hope your Dad is okay... it also helps put into perspective your utter hatred for nukes and anything cancer causing... and I totally respect that!

Thanks Stellar ! It's been a difficult last few years for my folks with medical issues, that flu-thang, & other stuff. But the ticket that comes with life, also comes with an unknown expiry date too, that we all have to check-in at some point.
Like many others, they worked hard all their lives to provide for us 3 x kids, & they continue to do so. I'm probably disappointed that they haven't had enough time to enjoy their retirement before the onset of medical issues that come with getting older, since they both worked well into the their mid- 70's. They obviously listened / watched those before them & realized, that once you retire-from-work, you may be gone in a few short years...So work kept them busy, active in life, & generally meeting people every-other-day.
But whats the point of working all your life, & not planning a retirement, where you can enjoy yourself a little ???
Generally speaking, it was the "flu-thang" that cost them their part-time-jobs, & now they're getting ill. ( Dad's leukemia was the more manageable version of the disease, he's had it for a few years now, but recently went through a pretty tough set of treatments over a few years, whilst in the midst of that "flu-thang" ).
I recently got my brother & sister to at least locate on You-Tube the Video that you like so much from the Jagoff, & asked them to watch it...I haven't heard back from them yet...
