More Turkey Day stuff(ing?)

I forgot to mention when posting from my sister's that
1) I was wearing a bra.
2) We devoured two 16 lb. turkeys, 10 lbs. of potatoes (mashed), 3 casseroles of stuffing (in addition to what came out of the birds), 4 dozen dinner rolls, 2 broccoli-cheese casseroles, one cauliflower-carrot casserole, two pans of corn pudding, a gallon of gravy, a veggie and dip tray, a beef-and-cream-cheese ball and crackers, and 8 desserts, including bread pudding with caramel sauce, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, cranberry bread, double chocolate brownies with m&ms, pecan cake and two others I never got a chance to identify...oh, and key lime cookies and fudge, so I guess it was 10 desserts.
3) One of my brothers, his wife and son didn't come because they have the flu. (Which is why there was no green bean casserole, because that's what they usually bring).
4) My sister's neighbor has a yard sign with a dove on it that says "War is not the solution" or something similar. My eldest niece and eldest nephew kept thinking of hilarious ways to vandalize it.....(they didn't do it of course, being good kids, but we all had a good laugh).
5) One of my nieces thinks it's all about oil. She's in college.
6) Another niece took a drink of water--that turned out to be my nephew's white wine. Hilarity ensued.
7) I have seven nieces, four nephews, four sisters, two brothers, add the spouses, subtract the 3 sick ones, add my parents...there were 23 of us, if I carried the decimal correctly.
8) Euchre is a card game popular in Indiana. It's played with half a Pinochle deck (no numbers less than 9).
9) My sister has a dial-up. AOL to be precise.
10) AOL sucks.
