Since this is my first Thanksgiving having a restaurant on the station, I'm going to make it big. I'm cooking Turkey three different ways, and have all the traditional sides: Mashed potatoes, Stuffing, Macaroni and Cheese, Deviled Eggs, Green Bean casserole, Sweet Potato Casserole... And deserts.

But if you can think of anything that I'm leaving out let me know and I'll add it.

Also if anyone is interested I need help with chopping, stirring and checking to make sure things don't burn, as payment you'll get to be the first to taste things, and get to lick spoons and bowls.

I don't know, you could have knocked on my door or something like that, and let me know what was going on. So she could have had the attention she needed without having to scream her little head off.

And we don't get a restock until the first of December. Any other restocking is done by our own hands.

We didn't have any of that stuff when we got here either. But we made things work for us, do the jobs that the machines were supposed to do.

Now that's just an outright lie. You have parks and biodomes that grow things, you get food replenished on a regular basis, you have water that's safe to drink without boiling it. You did not do any of that. It was provided.

We had to mix our own waste runoff with the soil just to make enough grow that we could survive, and even that has never been enough. There are no children where I'm from because women can't get enough nutrients to carry to term. The livestock we tried to raise all died because we couldn't even keep grass and weeds growing long enoughto keep them fed. I lost my arm because St someone was sick and we didn't know if the medicine was safe. They tested it on me and the infection was so bad I would have died if we didn't cut it off.

Obviously you have all had to work to make this place what it is, but don't pretend that you weren't given everything you needed to make it happen.

It's not an outright lie! My bet is the Maryanne of your world would tear your throat out for that kind of talk. This place needed a complete reboot when we got here. The gravity wasn't even in working order. How do you think this place got the way it is? Magic? No honey, blood sweat and tears went into making this place home. And still does. My wife works herself to the bone and then some and doesn't complain a bit, or ask for help.

We had to scavenge for everything for the first couple of months before we got a door, and before Finn got things in order. My guess is you guys don't have him, and a few of the other people we have had.

	You obviously can do no wrong and don't want to listen so I'm gonna just let you believe whatever you want. I'm done trying to reason. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Excuse me? Am I the one that invaded someone else's home on the word of Higgs? No? I thought not. Did we let the Man live to make our lives more miserable than they already were? No on that front too. You're in my home uninvited in the place of my son. So you're lucky to get what you got. You've got no high ground here. (Reply to this) (Parent)
