I'm off to lick my wounds now.

(4,879 posts)Worst thing ever happened at one of our family Thanksgivings -- My Step-Grandfather pulled out his pocket knife and proceeded to whittle down a fingernail.
Yes he had been drinking and it scared one of the "holier than thous" in the family.
One of the many reasons I no longer participate in family get togethers. I prefer to gather with my children and grandchildren.
Crazy world out there.
