It's Thanksgiving. Say Something Nice About Someone.

[NYC_SKP]

I'll go first.

I love my Mom and Dad, they're very sweet and precious.

Dad comes home from long term care for just today, then for good on Saturday.

Both will be in wheelchairs, Mom suffered from Polio as a child.

The care I need to give them is well worth having them in my life.

1. Emmylou Harris' song, "From Boulder to Birmingham," is a precise hieroglyph

of the human heart, one of the best love songs ever, and it is a privilege to hear her sing it.

[NYC_SKP]

13. Well here's a youtube of that song. Thanks!

Listening to it now.

:P

[saltpoint]

15. Thank you for posting that link.

I hope you like the tune.

[truedelphi]

28. Don't know that song, but am going to check it out. Thank U. n/t

[saltpoint]

30. Hi, truedelphi. It's on her studio album, PIECES OF THE SKY, and

I imagine you can download it from iTunes or other music services on-line.

[graywarrior]

2. NYC_SKP is the best partner in crime a person could have

[NYC_SKP]

8. I bathe in your glory, graywarrior.

But I live vicariously through myself.

Happy Thanksgiving, Partner!

:pals:

[graywarrior]

40. LOL

I just watched The Rocker coz a friend of mine is in it and it SUCKED!

[NYC_SKP]

57. Well, that's what friends are for.

And you're a giver.

You give, that's what you do.

:P

[wtmusic]

3. My wife is cool

and she would be even if she didn't make the best mole sauce on the planet.

[AllentownJake]

4. I love my brother

He is autistic and lives in a group home. He can't be here this year because Mom is traveling and it takes two people to handle him.

I'll be up to see him and take him out for lunch Friday.

[NYC_SKP]

46. Happy Holidays to you and your brother, and all the rest, A.J.!

It's very nice to read about other DUers' families.

Thanks and best wishes!

7. How did I miss this? In-fucking-credible.

I'm mean, even I'VE called him a turkey, but what are the odds of his b-day being Thanksgiving day???

:toast:

:party:

[Bolo Boffin]

6. I'm thankful for Dick Cheney

I'm thankful we lived through him, and thankful that it can't get any worse than that.

[peace frog]

9. I'll be thankful if you are correct

that it can't get any worse than Smirk and Sneer.

I'm thankful for my husband, son and daughter and that as far-flung as we are, we are all together this day.

[tularetom]

10. I'm thankful for my extended family all 25 or 30 of 'em

And I'm even more thankful that all but 12 of them will be spending Thanksgiving somewhere else this year.

Last year we had the whole buckin funch at our house, some stayed for 2 days, and there were innumerable political arguments and even the threat of a fist fight.

I guess the hints we dropped to the biggest offenders (my two nephews and their families) had an effect.

[saltpoint]

11. I think Michelle Obama is wildly under-rated.

[JohnnyLib2]

12. I'm thankful for Trig Palin.

He's stayed home and out of the spotlight.

He needs positive thoughts, too.

[NYC_SKP]

14. True. With Sarah away so much, maybe his life is a little brighter.

:P

Happy Thanksgiving!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My dear NYC_SKP!

What a great idea for a thread!

I want to give thanks for so much...

First, for you, for your support and help as I struggled with recording my poems, and then for complimenting me!

And for my husband, who loves me more than he should...

And for my precious daughters and my grandchildren!

And for the incredible cyber community that has brought so much love and enlightenment into my life!

I am grateful for so much...

Thank you for this...

:hug:

[NYC_SKP]

26. Yours is a very lucky family, CaliforniaPeggy!

All of them to have you, and you to have all of them!

:hug:

[asjr]

17. It is obvious you are a very sweet child.

I am very thankful for my 20 month old grandson. He is so funny and cute. He spouts off gibberish all day long and I don't understand anything he is saying or trying to say. I told his Mom he will probaby grow up to be a fundamentalist preacher because he is already speaking in tongues. I love him very much and is making my old age much more interesting.

[2tr4nqued]

18. I am really proud of the people who oppose Obama's escalation. n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

56. +1

:thumbsup:

[Cha]

19. I like you.

And, I'm glad your family will all be home on Thanksgiving, SKP.

:grouphug:

[NYC_SKP]

27. Me too you, Cha!

Happy for all the genuine DUers, even those with whom I often disagree!

Happy Day!

:grouphug:

[proteus_lives]

20. I'm thankful for my mom.

I'm going to over to my folks house in a bit to pick up a dish. She's helping me with my cooking. I love her very much.

[blueamy66]

21. I wish you and your folks

happiness and joy and alot of time together.

Best wishes!

[NYC_SKP]

23. Thank you, blueamy66,

And my thoughts are with you in the loss of your mom, as long ago as it may have been she's still with us!

:hug:

[blueamy66]

22. My Mom, who passed away over 20 years ago...

was the strongest, most caring, most independent, smartest, kindest, faithful woman in the world!

I miss her every day...every single day.

[Obamanaut]

24. NYC_SKP and Shaq are class acts. One for being a caring offspring,

the other for this http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=7094001&mesg_id=7094001

[NYC_SKP]

29. Thanks, Obamanut. I saw that about Shaq, he's got the good heart that I love to see...

...among athletes.

:applause:

Happy T Day!

25. my sons

my youngest pulled his anatomy grade up from an F to a B.
my middle scored in the 99th percentile on his LSAT.
my oldest is a wonderful father to my three gorgeous grandchildren.

and my daughter: she lit my life for 21 glorious years and her memory remains all precious.


i am so thankful for my children. i have been blessed.

[NYC_SKP]

37. Oh, My, barbtries.

I am so sorry, but I'm in awe of your capacity to balance the blessings of your children with the loss of your lovely daughter.

Best wishes this day.

31. My Born on the Reservation Cherokee Grandpa taught me how to fish.

Now I can eat for life.

I can't imagine missing anyone as much as I miss Him.

[NYC_SKP]

34. That is Awesome!

I hope that this skill can be passed on to your next generations, nieces or nephews if not sons or daughters.

:toast:

[NC_Nurse]

32. I still like President Obama. I think he's doing the best he can with a seriously

screwed up country. I don't agree with every move he makes, but at least I feel like he's putting a lot of effort and thought into it. A stark contrast
to his predecessor.

There's plenty of other stuff I'm grateful for, but I felt like saying that. :-)

[YvonneCa]

55. I'm glad you did. I feel...

...the same way. I am glad we have his leadership...whether I agree with every decision or not. Happy Thanksgiving!

[Fresh_Start]

33. Boy scouts in our counties scouting for food

last week raised more than 100,000 pounds of food for the local food banks

[NYC_SKP]

41. Wow! I love that young people are out there helping.

I wanted to be a scout as a kid, but I guess I didn't apply myself hard enough.

Ah well!

Happy Day!

:P

[951-Riverside]

35. I love you George W. Bush

Even though you sent thousands of Americans to the death over lies, ordered kidnapping and the torture of civilians from other countries, detained civilians without trial, spied on Americans without a warrant and manipulated the media to support your agenda ...I still l... :puke: love you and even thought you killed that guy in 1963 I still love you Laura Bush.

Happy Thanksgiving Guys!

49. Backatcha! (Even though it is Friday AM as I type this)

[Blue_In_AK]

44. I have the most generous husband in the world

and one of the kindest. I'm very thankful that we're finally together. (For those of you who don't know, my husband and I were high school sweethearts in 1963 for seven months, split up, went our separate ways on vastly different paths for 37 years, and reunited in 2000. After a couple of years disengaging from our respective terrible relationships, we married in 2003 and are wonderfully happy.) I have three great daughters, four beautiful grandsons, a roof over my head, food on my table. Life is good. It hasn't always been this way for me, so my heart is full. I've survived and I'm glad. I know I can face whatever the future holds.

[NYC_SKP]

45. I love when that happens!

What a romantic life story!

:toast:

Happy T-Day!

[Blue_In_AK]

48. Thank you, NYC_SKP

and happy T-Day to you, too.

Sometimes I feel like a Lifetime movie. :)

51. Sarah Palin makes George W. Bush look like Stephen Hawking.

Oh, you said nice... I'll get back to you.

[bahrbearian]

52. Sarah Palin has a nice wardrobe.

[DollyM]

53. People who give when they don't have much themselves . . .

Our community has a Christmas Angel project that provides toys for needy children. They take just about anything, even old toys and clean them up. (This is a small community with a lot of unemployment due to factory closings. Things are pretty bad here) I donated 2 dozen soft body dolls to our local nursing home and the residents are stuffing them and then donating them to the Christmas Angel project. I feel my gift was multiplied by the smiles on those residents faces as they were able to do something good for needy children also. My feeling is that everyone can make a contribution in this world, you have have to figure out how to do it.

[NYC_SKP]

58. Right on! I listened to a piece on NPR, I think, last night about kindness.

And how in our society it's out of vogue, even discouraged, because we're supposed to be tough, and win and acquire money and stuff over time, more than our peers, that's the measure of success.

Sad, that it's true.

:toast:

[lightningandsnow]

54. My cousin is one of the best friends anyone could ever hope for.

We talk almost every day. She's one of the most selfless, giving people I've ever met. She's stayed on the phone with me until one in the morning while I was crying my eyes out. I am so lucky to know her.
