My wife has always made everyone at the Thanksgiving table go through this exam so I thought, why not!?
I am thankful that no matter what mother nature throws at us this winter, most of us will be snuggy warm due to wonderful 300 million year old black rocks!

If I remember correctly, you lived in Reisterstown. If I lived there, I'd hate it too.brckwlt wrote:I am thankful that my wife and I got the chance to move back home to pa this year. we lived in maryland for three years and hated it there.

I'm thankful to be on this earth with my family. than usual. Both my dad and my father-in-law are working at it too and thankfully getting by.
Dinner tomorrow will be with a smaller group but it will be a great day. First one I'll be conscious enough to enjoy in 8 years, but I'm thankful to be employed too.
Big game tomorrow, Phillipsburg-Easton is one of the longest running cross state high school football games. ESPN broadcast their 100th game live in 2006.

Having Thanksgiving dinner at the sister-in-laws house near home. Then heading to Phillipsburg, NJ for the weekend. My 50th high school class reunion is on Saturday night. 243 graduated, I wonder how may are left? Some are attending the game tomorrow. Yes, to go Go P'BURG! I see you even got one of the school colors in there. Say hello to your father-in-law, my high school calculus teacher.
