I am lucky to have my mother still on the planet so spending some time with her..

And a wonderful Thanksgiving to you and your mom, Rokkerr.

Hope that you are having a terrific day. :)

I just wanted to say that I'm very thankful to all of you here on the forum. All of you make my world a better place!

I spent the weekend with my daughter and son-in-law and had a wonderful time. The trip normally takes about 5 hours; it took 5.5 hours to get there Wednesday and 6.5 hours to get home today.

And likewise, Vicky. Speaking for myself, but I believe reflecting the sentiment of us all, you make our world a better place.

Your sentiment definitely reflects mine! Happy Belated Thanksgiving to everybody. I did not realize that it had been that long since I last logged in.

Thanks Lance!

I need to get more organized. By the time I remember to check here, it is pretty late, and I am too bleary-eyed to respond to things. Some days I realize that is the case, so I don't even check in. And, apparently, multiple days can get by me without my even realizing it.

I have this computer set up in my office, and just turn to it once in a while for a break. Or when I'm on a tedious telecon that has no useful purpose or objective.

I hope it was a great day Rokkerr! We went to Atlanta Thanksgiving morning and came back home that night to spend it with my sister. With Kat's work schedule that's all we could do. It was a good day. Lots of food to be eaten and this time I didn't bring back a ton! haha
Hope everyone had a great time with whoever that spent it with!!

Another year gone by since the last Thanksgiving! Happy Thanksgiving to everybody!

These all came from the political livestream I check out 3 times a week.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the American members! Canada's Thanksgiving was in October.

Let's not celebrate how we came here as immigrants, killed the Indians, gave them syphilis and other diseases they never had before, and stole their land....... but rather celebrate how lucky we are and have so many things to be thankful for. Like I am thankful for you guys!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here. We all have something to be thankful for.

Here is an amusing video providing a little more detail on the history of Thanksgiving. If their research is correct, most of the deadly diseases came from earlier Spanish explorers. Here is a screencap from the video:



Now, they DO pick on Canada a little towards the end because of Canada having a Thanksgiving but not on the same day. They make a comment about the United States letting Canada be a separate country . That reminded me that The United States actually invaded Canada during the War of 1812. I remembered that the invading Americans lost pretty badly. This article that I found seems to explain things pretty well. It mentions Canada's version of Paul Revere, who was a woman named Laura Secord.. She overheard some Americans planning an attack, and hiked for 18 hours through swampland and forest to warn the British. The Brits ambushed the Americans and captured 462 soldiers. She wasn't really thanked until almost 50 years later. At least she was still alive to be thanked, instead of having to settle for a posthumous honor.

I also remembered that the original Plymouth Colony was an experiment in communism. I found this audio from Paul Harvey giving a version of the history.







And, of course, there is the infamous turkey promotional episode of WKRP in Cincinatti, followed by one of my favorite episodes. I had originally just put the theme song here, but when I found this episode I decided to do a swap. I really love the interaction between the station owner and her butler. The butler played Mr. Atoz in an episode of Star Trek ("All Our Yesterdays").

Happy Thanksgiving day after to everyone!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We just went to Trenton, SC to spend dinner with our extended family. We had great food, fun and laughs.

Oh my God I love it!..... Ha ha ha..... I'm having a turkey sandwich and turkey salad again for dinner tonight!

Do you ever get tired of turkey leftovers? When I was a kid and we did a turkey, with 4 in the family we could make it disappear quickly enough. I think we did ham quite a few years rather than turkey. I don't remember whether that was due to the effort of the turkey or we just didn't like the taste as much. I have tried turkey hot dogs, and I find I don't care for them.
