Good news, your corpse can remain seated whilst your blood blends into the seasonal decor. Your rectal death rattle will also blend nicely into the smell of thoroughly boiled sprouts. Be sure to adorn a festive paper hat before the light fades from your eyes. I managed to cook a simple but real meal today for everyone, I'm recovering but we all agree I'm not up to cooking a full Christmas roast and no one's up for eating it. Turkey may be closer to new year this time round for us, no sense rushing and ruining in the name of tradition.

Javid posted:This is where I'm at. I realized this year that my year really peaks at Thanksgiving. T-day is about gorging yourself on turkey with your favorite people, Christmas is now about being pressured to buy poo poo. I prefer Christmas because in my family thanksgiving is about stuffing yourself with turkey and Christmas is stuffing yourself with prime rib and prime rib is way better than turkey.

Bought a Traeger smoker for $200 off Facebook marketplace from this awesome old lady who used it ~3-4 times. Had the cookbook and was even registered for the warranty. I'm going to try and smoke a ~7lb brisket tomorrow. Wish me luck.

I'm following my yearly quest to get good BBQ to Texas this year, because it's been a decade and I miss 70's in December.

In a pinch a fair number of oral meds can jut be absorbed through the mouth if you let them dissolve (though it tastes awful). It's the only way I got through work last week, my antiemetics weren't absorbing when I swallowed them. I know dexamethasone does -- I give people the IV dose orally all the time -- but I don't know about maintenance steroids for adrenal insufficiency.

Hope your kid gets better! I've been sitting here doing little jobs on the house. Successfully swapped the dryer cord over without burning the house down and now I'm sketching out the garage based litter box pen for the cats. This house stuff is pretty cool.

At least he's getting his hydrocortisone, though who knows what kind of dose adjustment you need while ill. Some IV ondansetron and saline will probably perk him right the hell up. A lot of kids do great with just oral meds, but I'm guessing they're going to have to check labs, etc., and probably will just place a line.

Those sound pretty awesome. 7 pounder assumes a flat rather than a full packer. I tried smoking one once and it was a bit dry. Might want to inject it since you don't have the point there for extra fat/moisture. I've only tried a flat once, rest have been packers from costco. Pretty much always awesome.

slidebite posted:Is this from a Japanese game show or something? That was jack rear end or wild boys, one of the two. Those shows were insane. Spyder - Traegers are dope. Mine is 2 1/2 years old and I have cooked many pounds of beast flesh. I used to keep track of how many pounds of pellets I have burned through. It is somewhere between 300 and 400 pounds at this point. Smoke a pork shoulder. Get a good external thermometer. Watch your waistline increase.

My dog's birthday is 12/21, but we celebrate it on christmas eve since that's when everyone's there.   The cat generally loafs angrily during the birthday party but she'll come down when it's time to beg for dinner scraps.

They just flew around the world doing pseudo Steve Irwin skits with exotic animals, it ruled. A full quarter or half of them they could have been brutally maimed at any moment.

Back home, he's fine. He pitched a loving fit about a blood draw though, unlike the last time when he was fantastic. Anyway, all sorted now, we've all had something to eat and we'll get an early night.

Good that he's OK. Just woke up, can't walk. drat foot is still inflamed around the nail puncture point. It's not a large area, maybe 2 inches, but it's right in the middle of the ball. Stupid apartment maintenance people.

Can I just say that while International air travel on the 23/24Dec isnt quite as lunatic as it is for Domestic...... it's still not exactly desireable. 1.5 hours waitng for bags on an already late airflight and then 15 minutes just trying to leave Vancouver Airpot being enveloped in Domestic travel insanity. Much to my disbelief, it turns out Sydney Airport can handle as many planes as they can legally land with passenger numbers, even if the roads around it cant. Vancouver is just an A-Class shitfest from breakfast to rear end in a top hat. Ahhh well here in Victoria now and it's not as cold as I was expecting. The shortness of the day is however somewhat offputting..... Mery Christmas AI!

Dudes I am ready for Christmas. Last night we had a family party for my wife’s side of the family which we hosted. Lots of work but a very good time. There was 34 of us in all. Grandma and grandpa got middle Heroic boy the LEGO Speed Champions Porsche car set that comes with the GT3 and RSR cars. We put it together and these are legitimate cool and for the price (~$25) I don’t think it can be beat! The cars turn out looking great and really solid when together. Definitely meant to play with and not just to look at. We got the kids a ton of Playmobil stuff for Christmas. Oldest got a mat for gymnastics; middle got some LEGO sets and Disney Cars stuff, and baby got a little tikes truck to scoot around. I’m just ready for them to experience the magic.

The nice thing about a small holiday gathering is that the pool of people who can blow it up by getting sick is also small. I have a distinct memory still of a Christmas when I was 8 or so, where some random really old person whose relation to me was unclear fell and broke a hip on the 24th. We had to spend most of that night and the next day in the hospital with the rest of my mom's gigantic Greek family pretending not to be miserable. 8 year old me is just like, I don't know who that even is, why are we here? E: I'm glad my drive today is only a mile, though I'm running shy one motor mount so it's still not pleasant.
