I gave a little speech this year right before we prayed. Since my youngest Grandson and his wife just bought their first home and the entire family that my husband and I are the heads of, were here. I pointed out how thankful we are and how proud we are of all of them. I said that we were very thankful for the life we have built together over 64 years of marriage and hope that they all take something away from our example. However, this Great-Grandma is getting tired and it may soon be time to pass the torch. Since I don't have a daughter, they will have to figure that out. When I heard my Grandson say "Nobody's dressing tastes like Grandma's", my heart swelled. I am certainly not giving up on life or the work that I do in this office. It was just time to contemplate! And, then we prayed!

My mother-in-law had a SEVEN-DAY to-the-minute pre-Thanksgiving schedule. Starting from cleaning the refrigerator to make room for it all, grocery lists for serving by number of people, then when to take the turkey out of the freezer to thaw in the fridge, to when pie crusts were prepared, then pie fillings, side dishes, stuffing, and more. She even had charts, on grid paper, comparing roasting times by weight for stuffed versus unstuffed turkeys, plus suggestions for coping with the chaos and dealing with leftovers. It was truly astounding. But this also pre-dated Excel, so it was all on 5x8 index cards, plain paper, and grid paper. 31-page pdf from her paper records. Does that still count?

I have used it for years and like it a lot. Send a PM if you want details, but in general I've found it very easy to use. PDF copies are now available instantly, too. Years ago when I first started using them the PDFs were available the next day.

I only respond to surveys when I know my response is going to affect outcomes or future actions. You know, things like political surveys, Medicare Supplement signups, car warranty advisories, bank customer service follow-ups. All those things that really have an impact…

Since they're not on my known caller list, they will reach my voice email. They're free to speak to it as long as they wish.

I agree, I am comfortable with 5 minutes, 10 minutes max.

20 minutes is just too long for a survey.

The day after is a REALLY great day for the cook!!!
