First

Happy Thanksgiving Day. Make it a point to give thanks today and everyday. It's easy to get caught up in the daily grind and forget. Develop an attitude of gratitude. We are all very fotunate to have what we have no matter how great or small.

I may make a contibution to the local American Indian tribe later today but I'm actually hoping to withraw some of the assets I have left behind through the years. Going to the casino/resort for Thanksgiving dinner. The family enjoys doing that. Get a big table set up, eat whatever we want including desserts, chat, and later, just get up and leave. No prep, no clean up, just eat and talk. Cost about $22 a head. Well worth the convenience. Enjoy your day, and remember, no matter how bad you think your life is, somebody has it worse. In most cases .... much worse.

Happy Thanksgiving Guru Nation......I am very thankful for all the blessings that I have and to be able to enjoy them in this great Country...

I plan on eating to much, laughing a lot, and dozing off in front of the big screen watching football......if that isn't DNFBS, I don't know what is.....

Enjoy Guru's.......

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I can't believe it's already Thanksgiving. I have much to be thankful for this year.

We are driving to my parent's house this morning. They live about an hour from us. My sister and her family will be there as well, so it will be a nice reunion of everyone.

Looks like a great Football Thanksgiving as well. I'm rooting for the Baltimore Ravens over SF, and wishing for a win for Miami over Dallas. Not caring too much about the Green Bay / Detroit game but it should be a good game.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! We'll be heading up to northern MN to my sister's place later this morning. Meanwhile, I wish the coffee pot had a turbo speed. Hope you all make some good memories today!

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

Ivelis and I worked out this morning (she did spinning and I did running), so we'll feel a little better about the eating later.

Soon, it's off to pick up the parents and take them off to my sister's house in (beautiful downtown ) Kutztown.

Good Thanksgiving morning guys........I am truly thankful for my life. Things can always be worse. Not that everything is hunky-dory, but things can always be worse.

We are headed over to the youngest daughters house after while for the big meal. Turkey, dressing, and all the trimmings.

Yea good luck with that... me and my nephew tried to get a laptop at wallmart one year.. He almost got crushed between 2 large ladies on the way in, and then he got to one before I could and someone snatched it out of his hands... Total chaos and BS... not worth it.. Black Friday can go back to the depths of hell from which it came... Stupidity and Greed is all it is...

Happy Thanksgiving gang!

Hope everyone had a great day!

We had our very first Thanksgiving in our own house. Such a different thing. A little rainy and cool outside, so staying in was that much easier!

Today met with Shrink to go over QME report from Workman’s Comp. They determined that the female bring charges against me were all unsubstantiated. When the state investigated no one but my self would talk to the investigator.
She will be placed on probation and advised she may not be rehired next year.

Was worth spending my day at Pine Mountain Club talking with shrink.

So I guess this time she got the shaft and I got the gold mine.

Good Evening CGs!

Got up this morning and started doing chores. Got the Christmas lights up, cut the lawn for the last time this season, cleaned up the bunny cage, fed the kids lunch. Then I got a haircut, worked out, cleaned up and went to wife's aunt/uncle's house for dinner. Ate a reasonable plate, but not feeling too well now. Not sure why. Sleep should help.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Hope everyone's day was enjoyable!

I hit one sale this morning, the local Fred's store had small heaters that look like a little black wood burning stove - my bedroom heater just konked out so since it was only $49 instead of $79 and the one I was about to buy was $39... what the heck. I got there just in time for the door to be unlocked, not a crowd at all, calmly got my heater, shopped some more and left. Got an invite to a friend's house for 1pm holiday lunch, went there, then came home and napped for a couple hours, then drove to the next town to take my elderly cousin some cheesecake I'd made and some of my deer jerky. She loves that stuff. She'd made me some things as well. Came home and the lady across the street figured I'd need supper so she had me a plate ready with turkey, dressing, mac and cheese and green beans. Groovy. I'm all set.

Back from the casino. Some of the food was good like the prime rib and the salmon. Passed on the turkey. Didn't want to get too sleepy. Left with a full stomach and an empty wallet, More than an empty wallet really. I tagged the ATM machine so I could double up to catch up. My plan didn't work though. The machine next to the one I was playing made two different people a little happier. That happens to me all the time. I have a feeling that one day I'll be a big winner. Course, that's only a feeling. Well that's my gambling budget for the next couple of months. I won't want to go back for awhile until I forget about this time.
Does anybody know why they call slot machines one armed bandits?
