Happy 2010 Thanksgiving! What are YOU thankful for?

Aramike · 11-25-10, 05:38 AM

Thread title says it all, folks.

As for me, I'm thankful for my wonderful wife and spawn, the recent success of the Green Bay Packers, and my fortunate luck in being born within the borders of a country that provides that my worst day is still nothing compared to even the best days of most in the third world.

I'm thankful that I was born in the best country in the world.

Happy Thanksgiving Yanks.

For my wonderful parents, who unsvervingly stand by me, no matter whether I failed or succeeded, was wise, or stupid.

For witnessing what is, the beauty and the ugly, the good and the bad, though it even seems so unlikely that there could have become anything at all, and although most of it in the human dimension hurts - like the severe private troubles our family currently is going through.

For the short time mayn years ago when I was gifted with the experience that two souls can know each other since far earlier and later than just one human life, and the experience of loosing it again - for this taught me that you cannot lose this at all.

What exists, is a wonder. And that we live and witness it, is a wonder too - no matter what we think we are. We do.

I got great marks at school this year, and I feel sorry for them

Happy Thanksgiving Yanks.

You were born in the US? Fancy that.

Happy Thanksgiving, Grant.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm thankful for many things, far too many to acknowledge in a single day, but I have chosen to dedicate this year's Thanksgiving holiday to my fellow subsimmers.

A thank you to all of you, for just being around to talk when I'm bored or need advice or am having a technical issue. Thank you to those who worked with me on the Cavalla. Thank you to the modders, without whom my sojourns beneath the waves would be much less enjoyable. A special "danke" to Skybird, for the effort he has put into improving my chess, and another for my opponents, win or lose.

Finally, lest this turn into something resembling an Oscar acceptance speech, I would like to thank the Onkel himself. Thank you for everything, sir. I'd raise a glass to the monitor, but I haven't a glass of alcohol handy, and as I understand it, you're not a fan of the stuff anyway. Thusly, I raise this can of Dr. Pepper in salute. Cheers!

I don't thank you very much. And I'm thankful that I was not as born in the US as well.

I like that. That's a real good perspective to have.

mookiemookie · 11-25-10, 09:04 AM

Thankful for my family, the clothes on my back, the roof over my head and the job that gives me the means to keep that situation going. A lot of people are in dire straits these days, and I'm lucky I'm not one of them.

GT182 · 11-25-10, 09:13 AM

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Besides what's been said to be thankful for already, which I am also, I'm glad to be alive.

My only wish is that everyone less fortunate than the rest of us could have a roof over their heads and three square meals a day.

Tchocky · 11-25-10, 09:37 AM

No Thanksgiving on this side of the pond, but I don't have to got to work today, so I guess that's something

I'm thankful for a roof ove rmy head, a job I love doing, and a wonderful girlfriend. Now if only I had some sort of sandwich with me as I type, I could submit this post perfectly content.

Happy Thanksgiving to all

Sailor Steve · 11-25-10, 11:22 AM

Oh. That explains how my response went from making sense to looking stupid.

Takeda Shingen · 11-25-10, 11:46 AM

I am thankful for my wife, my little girl and the next one on the way.

I am thankful for my home, my comforts and my rewarding career.

I am thankful for my health and the health of those I love.

I am thankful for my friends, my co-workers and acquaintances.

I am thankful for SubSim review, for Neal Stevens' work on our behalf, for the gift of his friendship. Along those lines, I am thankful for all of you; the friends that I have met here over the years, both here and now gone. I thank you all for the joy that you have brought to my life.

Happy Thanksgiving, all.

EDIT: Snowing here today. Not enough to stick to anything for too long, but very seasonal looking.
