I can ignore tradobligations or pay attention only when requested, which aint that much, and nobody resents me for this.

Here in Oz (you may recall, Jen) we give thanks to the americans for having Thanksgiving so we can rustle up a token yank or two and then have a good excuse for a piss-up! Our group of traditionalists are doing it again this year, turkey 'n all. Aussies love americans, though not so much America at the moment! Possibly vice versa.

I well remember and that was one of our best Thanksgivings. Please give our best to the Aussies and your stray yanks

Yes to a cocktail and I’ll pass on Gymkata. The trailer was enough :)). I loved the flow chart and it reminded me that I can just smile politely and say “No, I’m unable to do ——-.” with no explanation required. I’m still working on the I’m so sorry-apology part. Thank you for sharing and Yes on the parade!!!!

This is genius. I am hosting Thanksgiving tomorrow on my birthday and it feels like equal parts a treasure of quality time with my loved ones and deeply stressful. This chart truly helps. Thanks...
