Also, why must we only be thankful for just people on Thanksgiving? There are other things to be thankful for like medicines, food, and being able to make it to today.

I am thankful for Testify! Oh yeah!

Avatar 🥁 10:25pm

I am thankful for the fact we live in modern times where there's medicines, plumbing, different places to buy food, a family to care for me and of course cats. They provide comfort and relieve stress.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:25pm
coelacanth∅:

i don't see any reason why Ray Davies wouldn't understand as much about thanksgiving day as anyone else. and because he's sensitive and 25x more conscious than most people he probably gets it better than most americans, who generally don't get it at all.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:28pm
coelacanth∅:

i don't remember ever seeing a charlie brown thanksgiving, though i feel like i must have.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:28pm

@Coel-- I remember seeing it, but I don't remember anything that happened.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:31pm
coelacanth∅:

i give Thanks every time i eat animal flesh, so about once/week; i don't just give Thanks for the food though.
then, and when i see roadkill or a car crash are pretty much the only times i do something that might be called praying
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:32pm

Larry I don’t quite agree with your take on Thanksgiving but taking time to reflect on the good things in your life is worthwhile.

In 2004 Chrestis mom was in the hospital on Thanksgiving day. Before we went to see her, I suggested we stop and eat in Berkeley. Well, even across the American grain Berkeley was closed up tight. We eventually found an Indian restaurant with a lunch buffet. They had all the usual dishes- curries, masalas, ect, plus a giant golden brown turkey as the center piece. I was the first person to pick up the carving knife. Under the perfectly acceptable toasty surface it was a molten ball of pink ooze. It was totally raw on the inside! These people had obviously never cooked a turkey before. I looked at the two guys who were probably the owners and they looked at me with such hopeful expressions on their faces I just smiled and put down the carving tools and moved onto the other dishes, which were fine. That night we drank Wild Turkey whiskey and made a pizza.
