As part of the staff of this fine site I would like to wish everybody (Americans that is) a Happy Thanksgiving this Thursday.

For those of you heading out of town, have a good turkey day but only if your in the USA, Canada has thanksgiving too but its not this week, other countries have other days of celebration that we don't have, and sometimes we celebrate things by area, like Columbus Day in Chicago, I remember several years ago working there in the burbs and went into Chicago and got into this traffic jam, I asked a cop what was going on, he looked at me like I was some kind of dumb ass and said "Columbus Day?" like I should know that. In California we celebrate Cinco de Mayo, the 5th of May, Mexico independence day. California is half Mexican so we party. I know other parts of the country have celebrations that are unique to there area of the country. In England I know they have one called Boxing Day, I have yet to figure out what its for. Oh yes and don't forget the 4th of July or Labor Day, Memorial Day, Presidents Day, Veterans Day, Martin Luther King day, these are all holidays that we in the USA celebrate to one degree or another.

Some of these holidays hold more meaning then others, so only to some groups of people, the one that seems almost a waist of time anymore is Veterans Day, Nov 11, marking the end of WWI the war to end all wars. My father was in WWI, he has been gone over 25 years, I am sure there are some that are still alive that were in that war maybe a hand full but at some time maybe it should be time to retire it and move on. If we don't we wont have room for new days to celebrate, look at the Catholics, they celebrate every saint they have, all 500 of them, its a wonder they get anything done.

So, this Thursday, Thanksgiving Day I am having a couple friends over, they are members here at the archive and my son his wife and my grandson, I am cooking, the menu is set, a couple last minute things to pick up and then we can eat tell we cant move, then have pies, this year a pumpkin and black berry.

Happy Thanksgiving all,

River, Rupert and Nelly

I would like to add my wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving to all. I have much to be thankful for this year. I am surrounded by good friends and family. My sense of peace and happiness grows. I have a new job where I can continue to care for others. There may be distance but all my friends will be in my heart and on my mind this year.

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the war to end all wars IS still a good time to remember all the veterans of wars past. We go the local graveyard and they have a very large turn out every year. Maybe we live so far out in the sticks that things like this are still important to us. Anyway, DO go once. Its quite touching.

Originally it was known as Armistice Day. Much later it was changed to Veterans Day in honor of all veterans. I think that it should be an important holiday.

I look forward to Turkey (Thanksgiving) day with relish, and wish all well and safe that day.

I am really looking forward, though, to LuteFisk Days.

Posted: **Tue Nov 24, 2009 11:27 am**

I hope y'all have a good Thanksgiving. Once again, I get to the cook the turkey and make stuffing and potatoes like I like it. I enjoy cooking. Have a good one.

PS. I owe one of the admins a special thanks today. Whoever did it was thoughtful.

There's still a few festivals to be had around Minnesota.... The ham sounds good, though - appetizer?

I got me two Swanson's Hungary Man Carved Turkey TV Dinners.

TWO, not One.

I am Thankful.

After thought, if I understand correctly, political posts won't add to

the new improved reputation point system. So we now discuss

Thanksgiving on a Eunuch topic thread.

very interesting.

Happy Holidays to Everyone.

Especially the Mods who maintain a spam free board.

I want y'all to know, seriously - I appreciate being part of this community

and appreciate the above average intelligence of most and the kindness of many in this community.

I am Thankful for this community. Really.

I am cooking three hundred pounds of turkey, two hundred pounds of mashed potatoes, a metric shitload of dressing and gravy and misc. goodies, and intend to have a hamburger and beer for my own dinner at some dive that is open on Thanksgiving, and I too am thankful.

Update:

There is a place for me at my best friend's family table. Always has been.

I just did not feel like it.

Well I got off the phone with another friend.

She wants me to come to her table.

hey, happy thanksgiving to everyone here on the archive;)

A beer at the bar doesn't sound like a bad idea. Along with some super hot wings. Hmmm. I wonder if they've got some ultra hot turkey wings to administer at the altar in order for me to recieve my holy sacrament of capsicum with.

You could do like I do and keep a shaker of ground habaneros in the purse for just that very need.

Just be very careful that the lid be tightly screwed down. It can be dangerous if the stuff gets loose.

Its 4:30 AM, just finished making the stuffing and putting it in the bird, its now cooking for the next 8 or 9 hours. Pies are done, the only thing left is the Candied Yams, Mashed Potatoes and gravy.

Clean the mess, mop the floor, set the tables, etc.

I love Thanksgiving, I do believe it is my favorite holiday of the year.

Happy Turkey all,

River

Darn right. In UK for the first time since WWl there was no soldier who had taken part in that war present at the memorial service. The last one had died earlier in the year.

However all who fell in the service of their country are remembered and the roll of honour continues to grow each year.

I just wish they could draw a line under the roll and say no more - ever.

Candied yams.

Ick...

I remember when I was about 5, they got me to try one. I puked.

hehe

I hope all that are celebrating have a good one today.

If you're not in the USA, then take it as an excuse to go out and celebrate SOMETHING or other! You can say, "Well, all of my online friends are doing it!"

Sister put the 1 year old Grandbaby in the tub tonight to wash dinner OFF of him, and goes to pour water over his head. She tells him, "Close your eyes, and hold on."

He grabs his little penis and...holds on to it!
