Call me slow and uninformed if you like, but one of the downsides of retirement is that you lose your natural triggers about dates. I have only just in the last few minutes learned that Thanksgiving is this week and not next. I know it's the fourth Thursday but I hadn't been counting and assumed that we had another week yet to get ready. When you are working it can't get by you: you have to arrange Thanksgiving work shifts where you take into account all sorts of things you probably shouldn't (I know that Fred can always use the extra cash for a holiday shift and that Marcia's mother is coming in from out of town and Hamid is not an American or a Christian so he is reliable for July 4th and Christmas Day every year and what the hell, I'll do it with Fred). Now I understand why my wife, whom I adore, asked me yesterday to check how many eggs we have in the fridge. It's all starting to make sense.
Happy Thanksgiving week, everyone!

Thanks, Andy. And I'd like to offer sincere wishes for a happy Thanksgiving to everyone here. Even liberty and wesw. I still think they're a pair of idiots in a poker game where everyone else is holding a full house — or at least playing with a full deck — but I can set aside my feelings for one day and extend a symbolic hand of friendship.
Besides, this place would be boring as hell (or the InfoWars website) if everyone agreed with everybody else.... -"BB"-
Happy Thanksgiving week, everyone!

Holy shit... Thanksgiving. Thanks for the word up.
I've been inundated and/or assaulted by so many Christmas commercials and reminds that I totally forgot about Thanksgiving.
I haven't seen one T'giving decoration anywhere.
