What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving season?

aside from the usual spouse, family, friends, health and pets here are a few more things that i am most thankful for...and not just at thanksgiving either

~ that our service men and women will be coming home soon...war is just never good for a nation or for its people

~ that i am not homeless

~ that i was fortunate to be born where i was, in the u.s.a......that i am not a women in syria, congo africa, pakistan or afghanistan &

   that i live where free thoughts, speech and actions are not only allowed, but encouraged

~ that aside from the normal 'wear and tear', i am not physically or mentally incapacitated

~ that CT is such a great place to come together to discuss, contribute, learn and share information, knowledge, opinions, ideas and laughs

Leftovers;

The Norelco Christmas commercial with the snowman riding around in the shaver head;

Certain relatives, but others not so much;

Certain friends, they know whom they are;

George (our shar pei) is wearing a jaunty, Thanksgiving themed neckerchief;

NBA strike resolution (quel surprise!  Who ever would have thought they'd split 50/50?);

Stanford won't be national champ;

The Raiders are still in it.

Seeing the grand kids.

Seeing the grand kids go home

hey bdl,

 that's pretty funny that you're thankful for the electric shaver commercial.... especially coming from a man who hasn't held one in his hand to use on his own face for what...decades?...just please don't tell me that there is no santa claus ok?

Honestly a roof over my head and food in my belly in these economically troubled times.

On a lighter note KU basketball and good friends are also great things to be thankful for!

I'm grateful to be home

In my own house

In my own bed

With my own bathroom (that I no longer have to share)

Loved spending Thanksgiving with the fam, but it's good to be home

kgirl,

Aloha and Welcome back! you were missed.....it will be great to have your sister in your home for the holidays...when was the last time that happened, that your family was under the same roof?  families should be together for the holidays...just remember to keep the fun  in dysfunctional! now you get all the fun of meal planning and baking cookies and cakes and pies...woohoo!!! again, it's nice to have you back...

I'm late on this but in no particular order I am thankful for..

My son's continued good health and tumor free status

The medication that is available to treat inactive TB, as it has re-emerged in North America with the influx of immigrants from the third world.... nothing against the third world but my daughter has inactive TB and they told us at the clinic that the third world immigrants are bringing it over with them

My 83 year old mother in law and all she does

My family... I love them all

Being employed in such a crappy economy

Having a roof over my head and food to eat

The dog... she is just a bundle of happiness

and the list can go on and on...
