Now I know this is in the wrong place...I think we have a holiday thread somewhere but I didn't find it. However, since we are discussing a spot or two of liquid refreshment, we could also mention good chow. This week's holiday here in the States is the one for which all diets are off, clothes with elastic waists are worn and in general, we stuff ourselves beyond all reason. Yet, the purpose is not to gain an extra few (or many pounds), but to give thanks to the Almighty for all with which we have been blessed. I am above all thankful for my family, who will all congregate here in our home on Thursday, hungry but happy. And foremost among my blessings is awareness of the many folks who went before who bought this precious freedom and good life for me, those vets we honor here. In addition, I am grateful for you folks, even though I have met only a few in person and will likely never come face to face with the rest, you all add so much to my day. It is always good to know the care and support of this little band is there to tap into and rely on. Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey Connie, I deleted the Holiday subforum a while ago. The Index Page becomes too extended + it was hardly ever used anymore, so I thought 'off with it', we can as well use the Chit/Chat section or our pub here to wish each other Happy "all sorts of holidays" ...after all there aren't that many in a year.


I wish to all my American friends a very happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy the good food (oh those poor turkeys ) , the drinks and most important the company of family and friends!
And now it's time to repost my favourite Thanksgiving cartoon

Happy Thanksgiving folks !

May all your wishes come true, may your plate never be empty & may your glass always be full!

and a special thought & best wishes to all those vets to whom we owe so much.

Hm sure is quiet in here... *looks around* nope don't see a bartender... *goes behind bar and pours self a scotch on the rocks* now to sit and wait for some company. :)

[Connie]

Biff, May I join you? The sun isn't over the yardarm, so perhaps it is too early to drink. Wait, the sun isn't out today, so that means tell me what's on tap, as scotch is not to my liking.

Biff! How the devil are you?! Long time no speak - enjoy your drink and stay long time!

[Biff]

Hey Nick! I figured it wouldn't be too long till you showed up. I'm doing good... got married this weekend.. so recovering from that. Good to be back here, figured I hadn't stirred up any trouble here for a while.. and I was curious as to how the Major was doing.
And Connie I would be more than happy to have you join me... though I am not sure what is on tap, you may have to peek for yourself. :)

[Connie]

Hey... congrats.... best wishes for a wonderful, long and happy marriage.

Hey, Biff, join the club. I bit the bullet for the second time Sept 2003. I will join you in a scotch, single malt, please. The McCallan, 30 years old, neat.

[Biff]

Cheers... tho this is only my first and hopefully only time... otherwise if I ever decide to do it again I'm eloping!

[Linda]

Biff girl, welcome back...and congratulations with your marriage!
Oh dear our youngsters sure grow up here! Cheers! To a long and happy life together and many little "biffies"

[ambulnick]

Biff,

Good?! You should be doing absolutely brilliant! Many congratulations to yourself and Chris!

What else are you upto nowadays?

And Linda, "biffies"?!?

Regards,
Nick
