The Stuff

I do have a lot to be Thankful for. A job (as dreadful as it can be at times), my fish, my keyboards, the people with the noisy dog are moving, and of course great friends and family.

I can’t believe these are the only wacky Thanksgiving images I could find on my hard drives…

And, here’s some corny jokes:

What we’re really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?
- Erma Bombeck

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.
- Erma Bombeck

Thanksgiving is an emotional holiday. People travel thousands of miles to be with people they only see once a year. And then discover once a year is way too often.
- Johnny Carson

An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day.

I love gift cards — to me they say “I cared enough to not waste your time at the return counter of Macy’s”. The economy is less than healthy and many businesses are going out of business, SO make sure you use your gift cards up while they still got juice on them. Know what I’m sayin’?
