A little off-topic I guess, but before everyone gets too busy preparing for
and anticipating "The Big Day", I'd like to ask all to please remember the
men and women who are serving in the military, when you give thanks for all
of the blessings you have. Regardless of politics and politicians. These
men and women are there for all of us, around the country and around the
world and many of them won't be able to be with their families during the
holiday season. Our son is a Seabee in the U.S. Navy and is preparing to go
to Iraq after the New Year. Please remember all of our service members.
Thanks and I hope everyone has a great T-Day!

No offense to non-U.S. readers, I know Thursday is just another Thursday to
you! :-)

As an Australian I wish we had something similar to Thanksgiving rather than
copying halloween. On 31 October I tend to remember Luther and his
petitions...
At our table tonight (it's Thursday already here) we will give thanks for
our men and women serving overseas.

Please keep in mind that he volunteered. What do
you want the Navy to do, fly him home for the day?

Let's get another kindergarten class to draw some
crayon pictures for our brave troops, who after all
volunteered for their duty and must of course miss
a few family holidays.

What our men want is porn!
