    My Son, who is a Chef has one of those...he and his wife came and spent a Saturday with us back during the Summer and he brought some prime ribeyes with him too. Once he set it up with the meat in the bags it looked like something from Dr Frankenstein's laboratory. He explained how it works but I was skeptical, until I took that first mouthful of my ribeye...unfuckingbelievable !

    He said that it works on pretty much any cut or type of meat...said he was gonna bring a pork loin or some veal next time...can't wait !

    not half the country but the 12 % or so that are brain dead rednecks tend to be loud and decked out in parade gear....hard to ignore them...and they're usually armed to the teeth....let's use some perspective here...half the country are not nazis, good old boys or just white supremacists but when the president has rallies for them....they seem like a big crowd...which is all Trump cares about...the big crowd. Most MAGA people are voting for deregulation, against abortion or voting for tax breaks....and now more and more of them have bailed on their party too..you folks who keep referring to half the country are propping up partisan division....when we all should be saying....those weird Nazis and Proud Boys suck......

    Our turkey breast was also slightly pink and very juicy. Of course that meant that some of the turkey skin was not quite as brown and crispy as I'd like but I got enough so that the dinner was delicious.

    Look, I'm telling you guys for the last time, it just ain't Thanksgiving without a turkey dinner and college football. We had our turkey dinner but there was no college football which should be against the law on Thanksgiving and New Year's day.

    Are you unable to understand? I can't. I have no kidney function and must go to the hospital three times a week for life saving treatments called dialysis. Then there are all the other appointments I need for my other needs such as when I fell down a few days ago and injured myself from blacking out due to low blood pressure due to my dialysis treatments to save my life. Among other things dialysis is the only way to remove fluid buildup in my blood which burdens the heart. If they remove too much fluid I risk dangerous falls when I black out from low blood pressure. If they don't remove enough fluid then I overburden my heart and risk heart attacks. I won't go into all the poisons in a person's blood that get removed by your kidneys such as potassium which can kill suddenly without notice.
    You are essentially saying that it is better to die from all the build up of poisons in my blood rather than die gasping for breath on a ventilator due to Covid-19 infection. What an asinine thing to say!
    Jesus Christ man, don't comment on subjects that you essentially know zero about.

    I don't think Johnny knows about your medical condition and I'm sure he means you no harm.

    While I hope you're right I find it hard to believe that he's never read any of the multiple posts I've made on the subject.
    I hope everyone will forgive my loss of temper I equally hope they'll understand why.

    Glad you enjoy turkey and football.....I can do without either....although if I chose between them turkey wins.....we shot hoops in my sons driveway after eating and I took the granddawgs on a long walk to burn off the calories...not a fan of football....y'all can have it.

    No need to apologize, Lanny...your reaction was certainly understandable.
