We rent a house for Thanksgiving every other year. This year's house has a broken oven thermostat, the oven's element just stays on no matter what you set the temp to. This has unironically been us, though we got a chair.

How does one rent a house for a day? Or do you mean Airbnb type thing?

[–] Joelk111 3 points 2 days ago

Airbnb type thing, yeah, for Wednesday night through to Sunday.

I assume you're a better person than me and don't do this, but right now I am absolutely fantasizing about just leaving the dishes and whatever is sticky all over the counters, moving house, and starting a new life.... That's what I imagine when you say you rent a house for thanksgiving and fully support it.

Hah, yeah, my family is pretty neat and tidy in general.
