What if, today, we were grateful for everything?

Charlie Brown
`````````````

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our Thanksgiving.

W.T. Purkiser
`````````````

One winter morning while listening to the radio, Bob and his wife hear the announcer say, "We are going to have 4-6 inches of snow today.
You must park your car on the even numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through."

Bob's wife goes out and moves her car.

A week later while they are eating breakfast, the radio
announcer says, "We are expecting 6-8 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through."

Bob's wife goes out and moves her car again.

The next week they are having breakfast again, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 8-10 inches of snow today. You must park..." then the electric power goes out.

Bob's wife is very upset, and with a worried look on her face she says, "Honey, I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the plow can get through?"

With the love and understanding in his voice like all men who are married to blondes exhibit, Bob says, "Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time?"

```````````````

Two college seniors had a week of exams coming up. They decided to party instead. Their biggest exam was on Wednesday, and they showed up telling the professor that their car had broken down the night before due to a very flat tire and they needed a bit more time to study.

The professor told them that they could have another day to study. That evening, both of the boys crammed all night until they were sure that they knew just about everything.

Arriving to class the next morning, each boy was told to go to two separate classrooms to take the exam. Each
boy just shrugged and went to the two different parts of the building.

As each sat down, they read the first question.

"For 5 points, explain the contents of an atom."

At this point, they both thought that this was going to be a piece of cake, and answered the question with ease.
Then, the test continued.

"For 95 points, tell me which tire it was"...

``````````````

Harold's new job had him working really late. He decides to get his wife a watchdog. He goes to the pet store and asks for a doberman.

The employee said, "If its a guard dog you want I have a dog just for you." The man walks to the back of the store to get a dog and comes back with a little poodle.

Harold says, "This small thing, a watch dog? You're kidding, right?"

The employee says, "No, this dog is special; he knows karate."

"Karate? I don't believe it," Harold says.

The employee puts the dog down and says, "Karate the sign." And he points to a sign advertising dog food. The dog runs up and rips the sign to shreds. Harold is amazed at this.

The employee then says, "Karate the chair." And he points to a chair in the corner. The dog runs up and rips the chair to shreds. By now Harold is convinced.

"I'll take him," he says.

When he gets home he surprises his wife and she yells out, "This little thing, a watch dog? No way." Harold says, "But this dog knows karate."

"Karate," she yells. "Karate my foot!"

```````````

A man goes to his doctor for a complete checkup. He hasn't been feeling well and wants to find out if he's ill. After the checkup the doctor comes out with the results of the examination. "I'm afraid I have some bad news. You're dying and you don't have much time," the doctor says. "Oh no, that's terrible. How long have I got?", the man asks.
"10..." says the doctor.
"10? 10 what? Months? Weeks? What?!" he asks desperately.

"10...9...8...7..."

`````````````

A site foreman had ten very lazy men working for him, so one day he decided to trick them into doing some work for a change.

"I've got a really easy job today for the laziest one among you," he announced. "Will the laziest man please put his hand up."

Nine hands went up.

"Why didn't you put your hand up?" he asked the tenth man.

"Too much trouble," came the reply.

```````````

Once upon a time there was an archery contest.

The first archer, wearing a long cape covering his face, lines up in position...

He takes a deep breath and fires an arrow which finds the center of the target.

Then he takes off his cape and screams: I AM...... ROBIN HOOD!!! The crowd cheers!

The second archer with a cape lines up in position.

He fires his arrow which hits the center and cuts robin hood's arrow into two!!!

He takes off his cape and screams: I AM...... WILLIAM TELL!!!!!! The crowd cheers!!

Finally, a third man in cape lines up in position... He fires his arrow but it goes all wrong!!!

It flies past the crowd and kills the king!!! Then the man takes off his cape and screams: I AM...... SORRY!!!

````````````

1. The toilet is blocked and we cannot bathe the children until it is cleared.


2. I want some repairs done to my stove as it has backfired and burnt my knob off.

3. This is to let you know that there is a smell coming from the man next door.


4. I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is running away from the wall.


5. I request your permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen.


6. Our lavatory seat is broken in half and is now in three pieces.


7. Will you please send someone to mend our cracked sidewalk. Yesterday my wife tripped on it and is now pregnant.


8. Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny color and not fit to drink.


9. Would you please send a man to repair my downspout. I am an old age pensioner and need it straight away.


10. When the workmen were here they put their tools in my wife's new drawers and made a mess.
Please send men with clean tools to finish the job and keep my wife happy.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyboomie! fall

thanksgiving Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! turkey


Had a nice Thanksgiving. My friend and I went to a really good 'old' steak place one city over. It's expensive but awesome. Been there since 1941. So they did have a Turkey dinner for today with all the fixings. I ordered that and my friend, who hates turkey had a Calamari sandwich. Very fun. WE were the only people there for about 45 minutes after it opened. Guess everyone else didn't know it was open for business today, since all the staff were taking phone calls and the conversations were all about the Turkey dinner offering. Ate, took home half my meal and enjoyed my once a year turkey meal. Was a nice day and the temp was about 89 degrees but dry, so it was pleasant.

A very thanksgiving turkey

Ana, I can empathize about a frig breakdown. Mine went about a year ago; was only about 10 years old. I too lost all my food. It was soaked from the ice maker on the freezer side. The next day a couple neighbors found a decent one at a yard sale and brought it over. No ice maker but it works though it does growl sometimes.
I would hope the company would replace all your food.
