Thanksgiving is almost here, which gives us good reason to pause and reflect on what we're grateful for this year.
Sure, we're thankful for our friends (who never fail to put up with our you-know-what), our family (there's no one a girl can count on like her mom) and our hubby (who actually made dinner last night!).
But on the heels of the Great Recession, we're also grateful to receive a paycheck every two weeks (yes, the economy is improving, albeit slowly), for the conclusion of a nasty, divisive election season and for at least one sign of social progress -- the Pope is finally OK with condoms ... sort of.

None of the above+6Thankful to the Creator for all my blessings and my adversities which help me develop into a better man.
Can't we celebrate Thanksgiving without a heavy dose of leftism poisoning this religious holiday?





















None of the above should have been last since all of the above includes none of the above.
USA, we the economy, immigration and politics problems, we are still better than any other
country, we have what many others do not have and I am greatefull for it.
It is a day to love, care and forgive, to anjoy your family dinner together at least one day out
of the year, it is better than Christmas.

I'll be very thankful if we can get a president into office, that keeps some of this that way. I deserve what I've worked for.
Thank you God, for this day.
I think Hume onces wrote that all existence is contingent. Considering the fact that I could not have existed, I'm quite happy I do and therefore very thankful for everything that comes with existence.
When seeing existence as a package deal of good and bad, I'm sure everyone would opt for existing.
P.S NO OFFENSE TO MICHAEL JACKSON FANS!!!

I can't help but question why things happened.North Korea isn't suicidal,and neither is Iran.Two countries that seem to be trying to start WWIII.US backed South Korea isn't helping with it's fair share of antagonism.On to 9/11... Israel and Russians knew ,how much or other countries knew I'm uncertain.I watched a Beck clip that made some sense.Of course the world is heading towards a one world governance.It should in the matter of human rights... Israel feels they are to rule the world.Would Israel set the US up to fail/fall to bring socialism?This isn't meant for people to hate Jews or socialists,and I base this on loose facts...Some how I still feel the US is being set up for war by someone?????Who ever it might be.
What's more important I found out who my friends and family really are. My friends still ask if I need financial help. Due to the fact our politicians sent mine to India. And my family. They are a large group of loving screwups anyone who be proud of. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Several years later, in 1637, 700 men, women and children of the Pequot Nation gathered for their annual Green Corn Ceremony in the area now known as Groton, Connecticut. While there, they were surrounded and attacked by mercenaries of the English and Dutch. Ordered out of the building, the Indians were shot as they exited. The rest were burned alive in the building. The next day, the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony declared "a day of thanksgiving" praising God that they had killed over 700 men, women and children.
For the next 100 years, every "thanksgiving day" ordained by a Governor or President was to honor that victory.
