Say, check in on me if you get the chance. I may run out of topics to reply to without more input.
Naaaaaa - I guess that's not likely. I'm self propagating - I can argue with myself for ~days~ unassisted.
Have a great Thanksgiving.
it's 10:46 pm here, and I was wondering where everyone went. Well, I guessing tomorrow will be a slow day on FTE, so I'll see your posts on Friday.
CT, if you're around tomorrow, I'll converse with ya.
Football was on TV, I can't remember who was playing whom.
Rugrats (I among them) squabbled over toys, and the adults in the smoke filled living room shared stories and laughter over us - with an occasional "Why don't you play outside, or go to Frankies room?"
The smell of wonderful things cooking out in the kitchen filled the air as well, all of our Mom's were doing mysterious stuff involving pots and pans, covered dishes, and lots and lots of tupperware...
A full house, and plenty of food. When dinner came there was too much of everything except mashed potatoes and gravy - everyone attacked that with gusto!
I began to fall asleep later in the middle of the living room carpet - too stuffed to move, too tired to remember where I was, vague images of the goodbyes, and getting into the car followed. The ride home in a nineteen 50's car was in a dream state with stars rolling by through the windows.
And my parents were happy...

Today I am 2,000 miles from home. I have built a world for the ones close to me, whom I will call later today. In a few months I will come home for good, and I give thanks for that. There are many things that I have done and seen, things we have gained and lost, and what once was is lost in the hours and the minutes that gradually passed between except in memories here briefly glimpsed of what I think of as the "Good Old Days".
But these days are no less good.
And for these too, I am thankful!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL, HAVE A WONDER-FILLED THANKSGIVING!!!
(And yes, that is what "Wonderful" means - that everything is full of wonder)
Be young again -
Cherish today!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Y'ALL!!!!!
The only bad thing about today is that it's raining here in Kentucky, and I can't go out an piddle around on my truck before tying on the feed bag!
Seriously speaking, I hope the last year has been good to everybody, and even if it hasn't, remember we always have something to be thankful for.
Have a great day and be sure to drive very safe if you are traveling.
I am thankful for my family and friends and health. Also thanks to all you folks for helping and all the great information!
