Re: I love LOUD Thanksgivings!

December 1, 2008

Me, too! I had a great Thankgsiving with my family who are also very

loud. They talk the whole time and make lots of noise and it's

GREAT!! Not for one second was I bothered at all.

However, the next day, at my Dad's, he was eating a slice of pie and

it was just me and him in the room and his dentures were clicking and

he was scraping the dish and chomping down and his mouth was open and

oh my God! I had to literally run from the room! I poured myself a

bowl of loud corn flakes and went back in and ate those which masked

his sounds completely.
