This is one of the funnier emails I”ve seen! Marney gives a new meaning to the phrase “control junkie”…I also smiled about how all of us responded. Some (most)thought the woman was totally controlling; & wanted to rebel. Some , some of us appreciated her willingness to take charge. Some wanted to avoid the whole thing & go to MeDonalds! Some folks probably wanted to send her to her Dr to get some medical advice: there are good drugs for this kind of problem!

I thought the part about Lisa “now that you are married, you are required to contribute at an adult level” real sad; real telling.

Given the names clearly being spelled out, I’d wonder if anyone has heard of these folks. It’s almost too much to believe; so part of me wonders if the whole thing was made up.

If I received a letter like this, I would do the exact opposite just to see the look on Marney’s face. I would drink alot before we got there so I could laugh harder when she had the breakdown. God I love the holidays.

I don’t understand the people sympathizing, and going on about how their families can’t do Thanksgiving right either and how it’s soo stressful and awful to be responsible for it on their own. Just quit hosting it. Obviously, if you keep having it at your house every year while claiming it’s such an unpleasant hassle, you probably like acting like a martyr.

Thanksgiving is supposed to be about being thankful for the good in your life right? Not trying to make your dinner look like something from a magazine whether your family cares about that or not.

All I can say is, you care waaaaay too much about the food and not the people if you’re upset that someone brought mini donuts, because it didn’t match your theme.

OTFLMAO. I was feeling pretty down in the dumps until I started reading Marne and everyone else’s comments. Marne needs some serious medication for her OCD. LadyJ – you rock. That was frickin’ hilarious. I didn’t spit water out of my mouth reading it, but had there been water in there, there would have been a spray!

Actually, this is fabulous! I would love someone to make T’giving this organized, then you don’t have to think. You’ve already been told what to do, follow the directions (and nobody gets hurt LOL) and all you really have to do is just show up and drink! I too wonder what a regulation size casserole dish is. I think this appeals to me because I’m always a disorganized disaster! She must have a super tolerant family. ROTFL!!!
