During the covid era, if bunch of your relatives came over for Thanksgiving, the police would enter your house and make them all go home. Is this service still available? Do you have to book ahead?
Question On Covid?

Where did this happen?
It sounds more like alarmist noise than fact.

Note that this is in the humor section.
Sorry for the oversight.
I guess if you have paranoid tendancies

You gave me diarrhea with this beauty....
I was at a Thanksgiving family party where an ICU nurse that was dating My nephew gave everyone covid...
Sent me to the hospital where I met @AutoMechanic ...true story
Heavens no.
I just didn't get the OP's humorous post. I read it hastily and sloppily.
I thought the post was an "angry news" regurgitation.
Enough said on that.
Wanna hear something related?
Thanksgiving was to have been at my bro and SIL's.
However, her mom signed up for a spot at an assisted living place and it just came through.
So, T-day Plan A is cancelled. Bro and SIL are flying to the middle of the country tomorrow.
I gotta say, even though I love my relatives sincerely, I'm glad "a production" has been sidestepped.

I love this.
Unfortunately all the irritating ones croaked. Especially the lady with bad diabetes feet. Dang. Wife had to stop eating to bandage her feet. Yeah that was special, and not in a funny way. My wife is truly humble in a new testament way.

He's not blocked, he's just holding out for an invitation to a Chinese Carryout Thanksgiving.It's a shame AutoMechanic is now blocked
Just call ice
I made the Turkey for them, problem solved… Now all I have is leftovers next week.

Wife and I complain about invites to T-day with people. Then we complain about it just being us and the animals on T-day.
I think we are old!

In the early days of my married life and after moving to the "beach" One Thanksgiving my in-laws and the wives extended family ( The Clampett family including Jethro Bodine ) ALL decided a long Thanksgiving weekend at the "beach" would be a great idea!
So with NO notice 12 people (TWELVE) people I did not know arrived for 6 days and took over my modest 3 bedroom home that was already full with my wife and I and 3 kids! Sleeping on the floor or my LAZY-Boy made no difference to these "Half Wits" as it was a free trip to the beach with FREE TURKEY!
I kept my mouth shut and spent the entire extended weekend in my garage! I flushed my coolant, flushed, filled and replaced the work van transmission fluid and filter. A oil change, New Spark plugs,
I walked in once and seen a uncle I didn't know in MY Lazy Boy chair, feet kicked up and chair laid back as far as it would go with with my remote in hand binge watching Crime Dramas or something and I thought... "YOU must be kidding me "
I simply turned around, walked right back outside and headed to the auto parts store then back to the Garage and replaced the air cleaner I think it was...
My late mama always said "pick your battles"...
That next Thanksgiving I made a point to change it up, I took my wife and kids out of town to a hidden cabin in the woods! The wife and I had a talk and a understanding about how ALL future Thanksgivings will go.
We will soon hit the big 25 years of being married and have had many ( 24 ) wonderful Thanksgivings and Christmas together, yes with family but with limits. We had to have that talk early on that our home has Occupancy limits and strict check out times and the understanding family like fish start to stink after 3 days!
You married folks will understand , but ain't family grand?

This sounds like expensive routine vehicle maintenance, especially the mental toll.
We're at our daughter's in Wisconsin, having three young grandkids ages 1, 3, and 5. Our daughter's relationship with Mom is such that she can say "We love your visiting, but please leave on Friday because the kids routines get too disrupted". The longer we stay, the disruption grows exponentially. Completely understand.
