There's this family that Dan's family knows. They keep inviting us to their family reunions, I wish they'd quit it.

:lol:

we attend 2 per year - one for each side of the family. 1 is ok, the other is pure misery.

We have 5 kids, so we plan to begin having our own since we now have grandkids. We're gonna rent a beach house for a week so there's plenty of time and plenty to do (fishing, swimming, tubing, bbq, crab boil etc). Our kids are married/scattered, so its hard for them all to make it home for holidays. Figure reserve a house 6 months out and everyone has plenty of time to plan.

Alcohol is allowed! but in moderation as grandkids will be there too.

that's cool y'all will be doing that. my cousin got married at the OBX and we all rented about 3 houses for a week. enjoy having a great time.

Always have one of these the last weekend of June.. most of my family are fun people, very little drama, and always a blast when we get together..

the first night (friday), a couple of my cousins hit the town to party it up.. the next night, we have a huge gathering at another cousin's house to kick everything off. my cousin's husband cooks up a smorgasbord of food from crabs to ribs, he cooked some tuna and striper he caught last year.. everyone brings their beer, sometimes the liquor is brought out and hilarious moments occur.. have had some great memories over the years. then on Sunday, the actual reunion takes place.. more food than anyone can eat, and the old people talk about the good 'ole days.. (which is probly my favorite part)

do these still exist or is this further proof that previous generations failed to help out the 90's and 00's contribute to society?

:D

That's the weekend of your favorite lake festivity...

I am related to a poo ton of folks, many of whom I don't know all that well. My grand parents back in the day always made me go every year, now I don't go to any of them.

My parents go to our beach house every weekend, and when I am off work I usually go down there to see them, and my grand parents. We are very close, but the reunions are not for me.

Oh yea, the heavy drinking starts every day at 11 am.

Yeah, I guess it depends on what you define "family" as...

My dad's mom is still alive, so we still get together at her house for Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving every year... but that's just my dad's brothers and sisters and their families...

If we got all of our extended family together from this area it would be like 250 or more... not gonna happen.

Don't really care to see most of my mom's side of the family all that much... there are a few of them that are OK, but the rest are a little off.

We have one almost every month since family has started flying in more recently...

lots of alcohol is usually involved.

large quantities of meat cooked on the grill.

Eat too much. Drink too much. Get up. Bloodys/Mimosas. Repeat.

Weddings are even crazier.

My family does the same thing every year at the end of June. Its called a Cousins' Party, and everybody helps out with the food. We have a bowling night on Friday, my cousin Vinnie runs a bowling alley, then Saturday morning is a big golfing team tourney, with the actual party being Saturday afternoon/ evening. Sunday is hang out at Gramma's pool and get ready to head back down to VA. I cant wait, didnt think we were going to make the trip this year, but last minute change of plans now will allow me to go up...

We have one each year on the Saturday before Easter. Some obscure relative of mine has some nice property with a pool, beach volleyball court, basketball court and we all just eat (we're Italians) drink, and play drunken beach volleyball.

I look forward to it each year.

I have one this weekend. My mom and a few of the other women have started them back up the last 5 years. we went years without one becamethey use to turn in to fights. Some caused by drinking others caused by the psychos in the family. Anyways everyone seems to have mellowed with age. And us younger ones don't know enough about each other to fight or care.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
