    Exclamation Be thankful

    I like to wish everyone in the USA a early Happy Thanksgiving!


    I hope everyone has something to be thankful for this season, no matter where you live. After losing my grandfather 11 months ago, and losing 2 good people from TWC and a 3rd soon to go from brain cancer and who is only a year older then me, all in the past 12 months, I hope everyone remembers not to take anything for granted.

    yeah, every one of the departed will remind us about the afterlife, and what we do in this world, while we are still alive will be remembered long after we gone...


    Happy thanksgiving...

    Once can at least be thankful of the memories the deceased provided in life. Even if thier current situation, of existance or not, is to remain unknown until the situation is shared. Give thanks to those you share the holiday with now and in the past. That's what I do, helps me remember them year to year!

    Losing loved ones are never an easy thing. Just remember, there's no shame in mourning. In fact, you should actually reserve some private time for mourning. Leaving no time for this at all will lead to some pretty messed up depressions.

    We'll all meet again, though. Ki gawapmin minoweh, nichimeyag.

    Thanks for the kind comments.


    That's all you can do. In the past 2 1/2 years, My family lost a good friend (a next door neighbor), I lost my grandfather as I said last December after seeing him suffer for 3 months with a broken hip, and 3 TW players have died in the past 13 months, and 1 more is close to death, all of which I have known on some level, a lot, average or just a bit.

    Death sucks. Remember, enjoy your time today. I know people who died in their 20's and people who lasted until 91.

    Move on, but never forget the loss ones .

    I'm going to get bombed, eat to much, watch to much football, and chase loose women

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Thanks Giving is another one of those pointless times of the year.

    And you're another one of those cliched new aged hipster cynics.
