Oh god I hate Thanksgiving foods. Our Thanksgiving includes foods we're actually thankful for, not nasty ass turkey and stuffing.

Wow, I have never ever heard that. Seems like something that should definitely be very common knowledge considering very few people are going to weigh the exact right thing for a recommended dose. No doctor has ever questioned my weight when prescribing meds... and I'm much less than 150.

Eh, my husband has a beard that he LOVES and I hate, no one's perfect. I think he's super cute either way, but his killer sense of humor is what makes him super duper gotta be mine attractive to me. I don't mean that in a "well at least he has a personality" way, but seriously. Oh and he's the best father my boys…

Confession, I think I love Elmo more than my toddlers. One of them says "momo!" when they see him, so I took that to mean "I LOVE ELMO AND WANT ELMO EVERYTHING" and now his sneakers have Elmo on them.

I almost cried when I finally took the time to go walk by the Henson Studios in LA while I lived there. Had I been able to actually see or touch a Kermit, I would have been shaking with excitement.

And the Muppet babies segment!! That was my favorite when I was little.

Obvious beauty is the worst.

Aww, I can't wait til my kids are old enough to go to movies with me!!

The Muppets will always be amazing. And I will never love a Muppets movie more than The Muppets Take Manhattan. I love The Muppets and I'm sure I'll love Most Wanted too, but MTM was THE Muppet movie of my childhood.

Ah yeah, that's true. I read her book and recall that. Thanks for reminding me! Got a little nervous for a second there.

ARGH that her mother would have blamed her and her twin for getting beaten with sticks at school. I can't even imagine the vicious mama bear that would come out of me if that happened to one of my children. I feel mama bear-ish even reading it about someone else!

Yup, that's us exactly.

That sounds like my mom's mom. I think 99% of the reason my mom was a laid back, hands off, let it go kind of person and mother is because hers was 100% not any of those things. She made conscious efforts to be different and it worked. For the most part!

Ugh, I'm so sorry. At least you're trying!!! And it does take a lot of bravery to try to talk to people who shut down like that. Good for you making an attempt :)

Forgetting a birthday (no joke, I just mistyped "bitchday" LMAO) equals a years long grudge??? Wow. I'd be disowned in that family. But then, my own mom always sends my birthday card late and it never arrives til days after my birthday. But we joke about it because I know she loves me and I just think it's funny. My…

Nothing wrong with you at all. My marriage is no different than my relationship with my husband before we were married. We just have legal differences now and had a huge awesome wedding. But we're still us and we still relate the exact same way. Do it if you want, don't do it if you don't feel the need.

I feel the same. If we're talking about parents as I initially was, yes, I love them and I know that they love me. They irritate the shit out of me sometimes, as I'm sure I do to them too. But we all just snap or bitch at each other when the need arises, then go watch 5 minutes of tv by ourselves, come back and…

OH my god, the insisting they're fine when they are fuming with rage is exactly what my mother in law does. My husband says it's that midwestern passive aggressive attitude (though they call it Minnesota Nice, yeah. right).

What would happen if you just started talking about one of the no-go topics? If you are aware enough to know that you aren't talking about things that need to be brought up, you can be the one to try to start those conversations. Or would they just shut you down if you tried?

My husband just brewed his second batch of beer! It turned out great!
