  • Yeah, I could understand difference in tastebuds being a thing, but why ban it if everyone is respectful. I guess I can see that some people might get a little too heated about it.

    I don’t begrudge anyone that likes turkey, and I’ll probably try it again hoping to not be disappointed. Maybe one day I won’t be. So far that hasn’t been the case.

    For me thanksgiving is about being with people I care the most about.


  • I’d be happy to find some way that turkey could be prepared that I would be amazed with. Really, I would. But I’ve been disappointed time after time. And it’s not like it was ‘bad’ turkey or whatever, other people would seem to be really enjoying it. So, I felt like somehow I just ‘didn’t get it’.

    There’s plenty of ways I like chicken and duck, but for me beef or lamb are what really satisfies me.

    I’ll have it again I’m sure, but I’d never request it or make it for myself.


  • Fair enough. Good food is good food. And I wouldn’t say no if I thought there was a chance it could be amazing. But I would also never request it, nor would I decide to make it myself.

    I’ve had turkey roasted, brined, smoked and fried. People eating it would say “Mmmm this turkey is AMAZING!”, and I’d be interested thinking this would be the time that I’d like turkey. But each time I’m left with a plateful of disappointment and sadness, and I’m thinking my friends and family are insane.

    Could just be that my tastebuds aren’t tuned for turkey.

    In 2020 banks charged $30,000,000,000 in fees. That’s 30 BILLION dollars! By comparison all Hollywood movies make about $11 billion total!

    So, for every dollar Americans spent on going to the movies, they spent three on account fees, over draft fees etc.

    Banks answer to their share holders. Share holders like money, so banks charge fees.

    Bank is a four-letter word.

    Do something about the problem. Take away their ability to steal money from people that don’t have it.

    Switch to a credit union. Lower or zero fees. Credit unions answer to their members, I.e. account holders.
