Happy Thanksgiving to all forum members and their families.
I plan on following the dietary advice of radio personality Faith Middleton today, which is; "don't eat more than you can lift".
Remembering all those in our armed forces today, many of whom are serving in remote corners of the world in places with names we never heard of. Keep safe. Thanks for your service.

A bowl of McClelland the day after giving Thanks, while the crazies attempt their Black Friday escapade, is exactly what I'm talking about!

I finally figured out why I dislike Thanksgiving. It reminds me of all those terrible cartoons of Pilgrims and native Americans that they used to make us look at in school. Cartoons that turned the whole thing into a bad joke. Why do they think that children are too stupid to recognize mediocrity in art just because they are children. I am sure that when I was a kid I would have been harmed less by seeing porn than being surrounded by glib cartoons on holidays. Bad art drags down civilization. The other reason I dislike Thanksgiving is having been stuck with the same boring family members every year. What am I thankful for? Lots of things, but especially not having to go to those endless Thanksgiving dinners any more. Besides, I am sure that the traditional Thanksgiving story is a myth. There must have been much more to the story than that, and I am sure it wasn't all nice.

+1 to foggy. I always like your posts and will forever remember what you said about what you learned during the blackout. That post inspired many discussions with my friends and family for sure. I heard somewhere that Thanksgiving came about formally during the civil war when a day of peace was called in which union and confederate forces not only stopped their fighting but actually gathered briefly in some instances, and had a day of mourning and reflection. Now I was also informed that the following day they were back trying to slaughter one another, but I truly cringe every year when my kids bring home their turkey sculptures and pilgrim hats, because like you I want to believe there is a better beginning to this holiday of gathering than that. To be fair, this thanksgiving story was seen on one of the many American history documentaries that can be found on Netflix regarding the civil war, and I have not yet been able to substantiate it with anyone, but I still like it better than Indians and pilgrims which we all should know to be a complete propaganda joke. .
