    Here's the thing, each year our whole family gathers together and does different dishes for Thanksgiving. This year, I thought I'd give the little Turkey guy a try. I've got the little guy almost done, I just need to marinate him, and I need to get the stuffing ready. I got some recipes online but they seem a little too "difficult". Yes, I know how to cook, lol! But I'm not a great cook. I need a simple, not-too-long, delicious turkey stuffing recipe for Thanksgiving. Any ideas?

    I recently got a DUI in May of this year. It has taken me since then to realize that I have a drinking problem... After I have about 6 beers I loose control and can't moderate how much I drink. I get in a bad mood if somebody tells me to stop drinking. I will literally drink so much that i can't stand on my own 2 feet and still want more. All of my friends like to drink in EXCESS every day of the week... they drink all the beer then move on to hard liquor... I can't be around them anymore, nothing against them as functioning human beings... But more so I can't trust myself around them. where can I find new friends that still like to drink in moderation, but aren't alcoholics?!
