Jennifer, I didn't mean to cause you such upset or insult you. Please read my entry more closely and you will find that I suggested that those who are NOT gone for Thanksgiving engage in a "game" for fun and mayhem. It would be an additional event, not one which replaces yours. The term "Jennifer event" was used to recognize your enthusiasm and support of the initial suggested one.

Since Thanksgiving is 6-7 weeks away, I did not realize that the Turkey Bowl was anything other than something in the planning stages by a few good souls. I am a little challenged to see where a preliminary discussion by a few cyber-friends can, yet, yield a "joint decision" on anything.

To threaten to take back the craft items and the turkey boat is a little disconcerting and perplexing. Without any concrete plans for the event, maybe stocking up was a little premature, as well, but for the sake of the children, please reconsider.

There are no "reigns" (sic) to take over as the "games" are just two attempts to get people together - one for those of us who may spend a holiday alone and one for the more family-oriented among us.

Finally, if you want to spend additional time with your family, please do so and coordinate the second "game" event upon your return. This is not an all-or-nothing effort and that is not how this community should move ahead. Heck, that's a Tina Esparza (now Torres) tactic and we're above that.
