Well, as we all know, it's Thanksgiving week, and I plan to take a few moments this week to be thankful for what is...not that everything's perfect or anything (it never is! and that's the way it is and always shall be) but being humble and grateful is good. You may be cooking a turkey or maybe making a vegetarian turkey loaf out of walnuts or something, or maybe you're in it for the stuffing (I've heard that about some of you). If you have something to eat and are sitting there feeling satiated and happy, take a little bit of that food and feed it to one of the cold shivering cats that are outside your home! They will thank you for it. HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

[pinkfloyd45769]

Happy Thanksgiving! My kitty will get lots to eat!:D

[novakru]

Maybe a little late,but when you go get your last minute food at the market-pick up a few extra things and drop it at the food bank boxes near the exits!


HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!!

[filmmaker2]

I did not see those things the last time I went but I will look again when I go today. I have some food cans I can put in those things!

[Haunted]

Invinted in 1862 by Abe Lincoln. No one understands why we eat Turkey or make this day synonomous with the Pilgrims (Bloody religious freaks) and the Native Americans (Bloody naturalists!- Sorry, Dad).

Anyway...I am thankful that I am a Witch. I'm also thankful that I'm Pagan. My mom OWNZZZZZZZZZZ, my dad's okay, my brother is the best, and those I call friends make up the rest.:D

Is this the thread for turkey talk?


Because "I am a MAN"


Because I am a man, when I lock my keys in the car I
will fiddle with a coat hanger long after hypothermia
has set in. Calling AAA is not an option. I will win.

Because I am a man, when the car is not running very
well, I will pop the hood and stare at the engine as
if I know what I am looking at. If another man shows
up, one of us will say to the other, "I used to be
able to fix these things, but now with all these
computers and everything, I wouldn't know where to
start." We will then have a good scratch and break
wind!

Because I am a man, when I catch a cold, I need
someone to bring me soup and take care of me while I
lie in bed and moan. You are a woman. You withstand
childbirth and stuff...you never get as sick as I do
so for you a cold is no problem.

Because I am a man, I can be relied upon to purchase
basic groceries at the store, like milk or bread. I
cannot be expected to find exotic items like cumin" or
"tofu." For all I know, these are the same thing.

Because I'm a man, when one of our appliances stops
working, I will insist on taking it apart, despite
evidence that this will just cost me twice as much
once the repair person gets here and has to put it
back together.

Because I am a man, I must hold the television remote
control in my hand while I watch TV. If the thing has
been misplaced, I may miss a whole show looking for
it. Although, there was one time, I was able to
survive by holding a calculator. This applies only to
engineers mainly.

Because I am a man, there is no need to ask me about
what I am thinking. The true answer is always women,
cars, or sport. I have to make up something else when
you ask, so do not ask.

Because I am a man, I do not want to visit your
mother, or have your mother come visit us, or talk to
her when she calls, or think about her any more than I
have to. Whatever you got her for Mother's Day is
okay;I do not need to see it. In addition, do not
forget to pick up something for my mother, too.

Because I am a man, you do not have to ask me if I
liked the movie.Chances are, if you are crying at the
end of it, I did not...and if you are feeling amorous
afterwards...then I will certainly at least remember
the name and recommend it to others.

Because I am a man, I think what you are wearing is
fine. I thought what you were wearing five minutes ago
was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. With the
belt or without it, looks fine. Your hair is fine. You
look fine. Can we just go now?



Because I am a man, and this is, after all, the year
2005, I will share equally in the housework. You just
do the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning the
vacuuming, and the dishes, and I will do the
rest...like wandering around in the garden with the
hose wondering what to do.

Have a safe holiday peeps

[ItsAlive75]

I'm thankful for my family that supports me through a life of leisure.

I'm thankful for my roommates for reminding me I'm not as smart as I constantly tell strangers.

I'm thankful for Seinfeld DVD's.

I'm thankful for having the ability to be completely and utterly satisfied with my entire life.

That's a good idea ..What we do every Thanksgiving is we make up about 20-30 plates of food and go down to the shelter's and give them out.


Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

[jenna26]

I should be cleaning and preparing for tomorrow.....but I am lazy......so thought I would procrastinate even more and come in here to say......Happy Thanksgiving Everyone....:D

[bwind22]

Yes, yes... Happy Thanksgiving to all. Let us celebrate and give thanks as we fondly recall our pilgrim forefathers breaking bread with the Indians not too long before they would go on to slaughter them and steal all of their land.

Let us celebrate with gluttony.

Nope. When I wasn't skipping class, I was the one calling the sunshiny kid a fag.

[AUSTIN316426808]

I'm thankful for Football, my gf, football, breathing, family(a few of 'em anyway), football, friends and football.



Hope all you guys have a great day:D :) :D

[pinkfloyd45769]

I just wanted to post this, it's what made me thankful today. There is an elderly man who lives up the street from us, he has no family, and not much food. My family made him a huge plate of food and took it to him today. I was thankful today that i got to do something for someone else.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!

I like that, no mistake Jake.

It's sad to get to the point where you can actually receive a nickname like that but who cares, he's winning.

Are we both Broncos fans or do we both hate the Cowboys?

A little from column A, a little from column B.

[ItsAlive75]

So has anyone else NOT eaten Thanksgiving dinner yet?

The damn turkey's been cooking for 5 hours, STILL not ready. I'd rather have food poisoning than wait any longer.

[AUSTIN316426808]

With the hurricane situation my family's spread out over Texas,Louisisana and Arkansas so the usual plan obviously can't happen so it's pretty much just another day for us with a plus of football. Neither of us really feel like cooking so we'll probably end up eating cereal or going out after the game.

Oh no, don't take it like that, it's normal for us to say screw cooking and eat cereal or go out(we probably eat cereal as regularly as normal dinner, we just really like cereal for whatever reason). The fact that it's Thanksgiving isn't that big a deal, it'd be cool to have the annual party with the family but it's completely cool.(I've gotta "Everybody Loves Raymond" family so it's not all that bad being alone this time.)

Well, look at it this way...I'm watching a damn good football game with a hot girl and cold beer, then we're going out for awhile coming back home yada yada yada.(you're a Seinfeld fan right?)

[Marroe]

my family is weird..we eat Thanksgiving "dinner" at noon:rolleyes: . This year most of my family was in Steele, Mo. but my great-grandpa still isn't well enough from his surgery to go out that far, so me, my mom, her husband, and my little brother had it at my momma's for him.....Then we played Sonic and Knuckles for the rest of the afternoon. It was a pretty ok day....and I am VERY thankful that my grampa's here still.:)

Alright, well that sounds pretty good... 'specially that yada yada yada part.

We're the exact opposite, we started eatin' at six. I got up at 10 am... so I had a long wait.

He just makes fun of the everyday stuff nobody pays attention to.

Still, Seinfeld broke the mold for what a sitcom used to be, and set the bar for every one after it.

That show was fuckin revolutionary... and Kramer is still the funniest physical comic character ever.

[Elvis_Christ]

The characters around Seinfeld made that show and were funnier than Seinfeld himself.

[stubbornforgey]

'hands up'
i cant stand seinfeld..george n the tall dude rock,,,
i cant stand raymond...frank rocks..so do the parents..
the wife is a dickhead for putting up with all that crap..
Why do americans portray the husbands as being self centered arrogant assholes.?

I know its just a t.v programme but just his big nose puts me off him..him n seinfelds nose..

[scouse mac]

Seinfeld never worked for me, maybe the humour didn't cross the Atlantic very well.
The best US sitcom ever was Cheers, I could happily sit thru an entire re-run and laugh my face off!

He was completely timid around his wife and mom 'specially during an arguement so how does that translate self centered and arrogant?

[Elvis_Christ]

Because he beats round the bush and talks shit behind peoples back. He only speaks the truth when he's caught out..... bad card to pull around NZers weather truth, fiction or reality we see thru it and don't dig it.

[AUSTIN316426808]

It's just an over exaggerrated version of his life, I guess we just don't take it that seriously. It's obvious the majority doesn't mind bullshit, look who the fucking president is.

[Elvis_Christ]

Maybe they should. You guys get to be happy on Gilligan's Island while we're just cannon fodder. Shit if New Zealand had the resources US wanted the death sentence would be passed... while Australia laughs and tries to be little America.
