Good Thursday Morning and HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Everybody!

[Clintmax]

:donut::hi:
I hope you have a fantastic day today with your families and friends! I am going to my bosses house for Thanksgiving dinner tonight so I don't have to be alone, and I plan to stuff myself so full, they are going to have to roll me out the door to get me to leave! :rofl:

What I am thankful for:

My beautiful husband! We've been together for 10 years and I don't know WHAT I'd do without him!

All my friends here on DU! You folks bring a light to my mornings and help me start each day right so I'm not a sourpuss all day long!

:hug: for all of you!

And to Greekspeak: :hug::hug::loveya: I love you, Honey and I can't wait to see you on Sunday!

[Clintmax]

6. Hello, Miss Honey!

:hi::hug:
Happy Thanksgiving to you too! Yes, I'll be having LOTS of dessert too! I hope you're having a great day all the way over there in Germany!

[MissHoneychurch]

31. I am

I talked to the guy yesterday evening. Told him about my worries and that I have feelings for him. His answer: "I have feelings for you too baby" :woohoo:

[Clintmax]

32. WELL ALL RIGHT!

See, I told you! I'm SO happy for you, Miss Honey! :hug::bounce: That's wonderful!

[MissHoneychurch]

33. believe me

I was more than relieved after that. I really really hope it works out this weekend that I can see him. He told me he better sees me soon or I am gone ....

[Clintmax]

34. Well then you go see him!

I hope it works out that you can go too!

[MissHoneychurch]

35. right now I am sure again it will work out

but I will have my doubts in between again I am sure. I know me.

[Clintmax]

37. Well, it's OK to feel that way...

I would too until everything worked itself out. Just try not to let those feelings overwhelm you. I'm sure it will all be great!

[MissHoneychurch]

40. Oh I am trying hard to not get all consumed by those feelings

sometimes it even works :)

[Clintmax]

42. That's good!

:hug:

[tjwmason]

7. Good afternoon Clint.

and have a very happy Thanksgiving. :hug:

Your tribute to Greekspeak is very touching - it's been clear to us here how much you've missed him.

[Clintmax]

9. Hello, TJ!

:hi::hug:
I sure have! But, he'll be back on Sunday. :woohoo:
How's everything in merry ol' England? I know you don't have Thanksgiving there, but are doing special today "just because"? Or is just a regular work day?

[tjwmason]

21. All jolly here.

It's just a normal day here. We have a long time without a public holiday, there is one in August then nothing until we get 2 days for Christmas and 1 for New Year (the Scots get 2 at New Year).

A little while ago the P.M. opined publicly about whether we should have one - and some folk suggested we should have Trafalgar Day as a national celebration (there isn't a 'national day' really), but we didn't even get that this year when it was the 200th anniversary. There is a push each year to get St. George's Day (he's Patron Saint of England), but there's already a cluster in late spring and the present government isn't keen at all.

[Clintmax]

22. I think you should have more holidays too!

But somehow, I don't think they'd care too much WHAT I thought. :rofl: I hope you have a great day nonetheless!

[tjwmason]

43. I certainly appreciate your opinions

Especially when they mean less work for me. :D

I think one of the points is that there should be a national celebration - at the moment we get religious feasts (Christmas, Easter) and fairly random days. Whilst for folk like me the religious ones do have significance - most pretty much ignore that side. There is also May Day, which is supposed to be the Day of the Workers - but I doubt that many even know that. The nearest thing to a national day is probably the Queen's Official Birthday - but that's always on a Saturday, and apart from a crowd gathered in Horse Guards' Parade - plus a few television viewers, most don't even know that it happens.

The day's just got even better - as I've had my lunch which always cheers me. :D

[Clintmax]

44. I'm glad you're feeling better!

:hug:

[tjwmason]

47. Especially with naughty pictures elsewhere.

:evilgrin:

:hug:

[Clintmax]

48. LOL!

I hear ya THERE, Brother!

[tjwmason]

55. We're hideously venial today.

Perhaps we should start talking about the weather to calm ourselves.....on second thoughts perving at pics of studs is more fun.

[Clintmax]

58. LOL!

Yeah, it sure is! But I need to quit it and go have some breakfast. I'm "hongry"! :rofl:

[newyawker99]

[In_The_Wind]

11. Happy Thanksgiving Clint.

[Clintmax]

12. Hello, Miss Joan!

Happy Thanksgiving! That's a nice icon! Thanks for sharing it!

[In_The_Wind]

15. I'm glad you like it.

I see you're not cooking today. That's nice for you. You have a day of rest while you're visiting.

[Clintmax]

19. Oh, I will!

I plan to make a pig of myself, let me tell ya!

[In_The_Wind]

67. Tell me about when you return home.

[Clintmax]

69. I sure will!

I think it will be a good time! :woohoo:

[In_The_Wind]

71. I think so too.

The Duck will take hours to cook until the skin is crispy enough to please me. The cord wood is under 3 inches of snow that wasn't here yesterday and it's not getting stacked today. Nope, I'm gonna find a football game to watch.

[NewJeffCT]

13. Thanks, and today is my 4th wedding anniversary, too!

you have a great day. i'm letting my wife sleep in.

[Clintmax]

14. Hello, NewJeff!

[NewJeffCT]

[Clintmax]

It's always good to see you here! I hope you and Heidi have a fantastic day! Tell her I said Hello and give her my love! :loveya: to you too!

[Call Me Wesley]

23. She's

making two pecan pies for thanksgiving dinner right now. She said to tell her friend Clintmax 'SMOOCH.'

[Clintmax]

25. SMOOCH right back to her too!

Kisses from Miss Heidi! :woohoo:

[AirmensMom]

18. Good morning, Clintmax!

:donut: :hi:

I hope you have a WONDERFUL time today!

What I'm thankful for:

My husband ... 29 years (+2 before we married) of happiness with this wonderful man.

My two beautiful daughters and the two great guys who keep them happy.

My sweet grandson. :loveya:

Friends like you on DU, Clintmax! :hug:

... and all my other DU friends! :grouphug:

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Thanks, Greekspeak for making my friend, Clintmax, so happy!

[Clintmax]

20. Awww...

I've got tears now reading your sweet post. I'll let him know what you said you wonderful woman! :hug::loveya:

[AirmensMom]

24. Well, it's all true.

:hug:

[Clintmax]

26. Yes, I know...

That's why I get all choked up.

[AirmensMom]

27. Choked up is good ...

proves you have a heart. :)

[Clintmax]

29. Well thank you.

:hug:
Are you doing the cooking today?

[AirmensMom]

36. Yeah ...

Well, I'm doing the un-cooking today. Raw vegan ... we have a "mock turkey loaf" and some other things. The pumpkin pie turned out great!

What time do you have to be over there?

:hug:

[Clintmax]

38. 6:00 tonight is when we're going to sit down to eat.

I don't want to get there TOO early. I might try to be there at 5 so I can visit for a few minutes first.

[AirmensMom]

45. Oh, so you have to spend the rest of the day alone?

Well ... not ALONE b/c you're here! :bounce:

I'll keep checking in between chores until my company gets here. Off to scoop the kitty box now ... :hi:

[Clintmax]

49. Well, I'll be here...

So I won't be "alone" alone. I have to scoop the box soon myself.

[AirmensMom]

53. Done.

Time to relax! Whew -- I'm tired already!

I hope you treated yourself to a yummy breakfast. :9

[Clintmax]

54. Well, I haven't had breakfast yet...

I can't decide what to have. I just discovered that I'm outta milk. :grr: THAT'S going to seriously limit my options. *sigh*

[AirmensMom]

56. Hmmm ....

If you wait a little longer, you can have lunch ... or have a brunch now. That'll give you more options. :)

[Clintmax]

57. I don't know which I'll do.

I have some pop-tarts in the cubboard...:rofl:

[AirmensMom]

61. Ewwwww!

My husband says, "That's great! The guy's thinkin'!" :rofl:

[Clintmax]

62. LOL!

Always, Miss Airmens! In fact, I've already eaten two of them. Brown Sugar Cinnamon! YUMMMM! :rofl:

[AirmensMom]

65. Oh, my!

I hope your body lives through the insult long enough to make it to dinner. :rofl:

[Clintmax]

66. Oh, I'm sure it will.

:rofl:

[philosophie_en_rose]

39. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!

I'm weighing myself today to see how much weight I gain this weekend. I'm hoping none.

Turkey skin, buttery mashed potatoes, gravy, and pie are all calorie-free right?

It's that stupid green bean casserole that chunks us up, right?

[Clintmax]

41. Hello, Philo!

LOL! Yeah, it's that damned green bean casserole! :rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

46. Thank you!!! And Happy THanksgiving to you!!!!

Going to a restaurant for dinner; In NYC for the holiday.

Is very crowded here. Not sure I would do this again.



Happy Day, everyone!!!!!

[Clintmax]

50. Thanks, Midlo!

I'm not sure I'd want to go to a restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner...
I don't think it would FEEL the same.
I hope ya have a GREAT time though!

[Midlodemocrat]

51. LOL. I know what you mean.

but not my choice.

However, I am looking forward to not washing dishes!!!!!

[Clintmax]

52. I heard THAT!

I don't have to do dishes either! :woohoo:

[BreweryYardRat]

59. And a happy Thanksgiving to you too!

[Clintmax]

60. Heya, Seawolf!

:hi:
I hope you have a fantastic day!

[Rich Hunt]

63. happy Thanksgiving y'all

[Clintmax]

64. Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Rich!
