In the spirit of the holiday....
 

What is everyone thankful for this Thanksgiving?

I know...cheesy ass game...that many people dread doing around the dinner table...but in the midst of whatever is going on in the world and in your lives...I think it's always good to be reminded of what's good and what you are thankful for :D

So I'm thankful for:

My job, a roof over my head, a working car, food in my fridge, a supportive family, a nephew I adore, that they're releasing Little House on the Prairie on DVD - and for the cute guy at the gym who I get to look at while working out (it helps me pass the time ;) )

Amen!!!!

Ya know - I have spent the whole morning bitching at people on the phone for making me do their jobs for them (Hilton incorrectly credited my points, my ins. company is jerking me around, etc. ) - so I deceided that I ought to be greatful that I could stay at that Hilton and that I can afford a car and isuranance. It is SO hard for me not to get mired down in the details. So, I am VERY thankful my life has afforded me the ability to have means.

I am thankful for :

Great Job with Cool People

Excellent Health Insurance

Pets That Bring Me Joy Everyday

Beautiful Place To Live in this crazy wonderful city of LA

A string of memorable good hearted ex-boyfriends !

Brian j.

I forgot the good sex thing. And the ass thing.

I must add to my list ....

A few hunky F-buddies.

My naturally muscular butt.

Let's not discuss how these two items may or may not have any relation to one another.

:lol:

I will not roll over and die unless I'm positive that I'll die with an ass that you'll be able to bounce quarters off of. :cool:

Most thankful for my daughter....
my job
my house
my health
Sara's health
my parents
health insurance
food and clothes
and the ability to walk, talk, and think with sound mind!

I think i just snorted because i'm laughing so hard. I'm jealous...my ass? went north. Whenever I loose weight, it comes off the bum :distress:

I'm thankful for everyone that I meet, and as much as I hate my job, i'm thankful that I have it. I'm thankful that i'm able to go to school, have a nice car, for my family, and of course, my friends.

:laugh: :lol:
ah, a man after my own heart. I'm gonna add, i'm glad my boobs still look fine, though i'm the ripe old age of 30. That my ass rocks, goes without saying. oops, i just said it...

Oy. We can't take you two anywhere ;) :laugh:

-people who have faith in me
-music
-everything that's yet to come

It's just a good day today. :wavey: Just a really good day.

My ass used to be flatter than Gwyneth Paltrow's chest, but then I discovered pilates and a stairmaster. :nod: Clenching exercises don't hurt, either.

I will be thankful...
 

when I find the new Mirage tour soundboards that I just heard about, Seems some newer stuff is starting to trickle in :nod:

Brian j.

Woot! I'm now thankful that my boss has invited me to his house for Thanksgiving - so now I won't be alone....and that the day after Thanksgiving my sister will be here!!! yea! :woohoo:

------

Hmm...I think I should start doing pilates more often :nod: I'm too lazy to get my ass out of bed in time for the weekend classes though....

I'm just thankful to be alive. Everything else is secondary. :wavey:

I guess you have one-up on the folks who get out of bed only to have their asses follow a few seconds later. ;) :laugh:

true that. but who knows how long that will be the case..I've got girl scout cookies calling my name in my desk drawers as we speak...:eek:

Seriously though - I've never let myself have more than ten extra pounds on me....and I'm pushing the envelope currently...I really do need to kick the better food habits into high gear...BUT I am thankful that I still fit into all my clothes :nod:

What a beautiful, heartwarming success story. You should be on Oprah. Nothing sadder n' a flat one.... :distress: :distress: :lol:

Wha-wha-WHATTTTTTTTTTT?

:shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

Paula

Amber,

How the hell did you think your boobs would look at 30? Were you expecting them to suddenly drop to your navel? :laugh:

I'm thankful for:

family & husband (still seems very weird to type that word)
friends
good job
good health
nice warm house
tasty food

All you crazy Ledgies :xoxo:

Paula

Yep...
 

a good & reliable trader I deal with (On a very regular basis) has informed me that new 1982 Mirage tour Soundboard recording(s) have started to appear...Cant wait to get a hold of some newer stuff.

Brian j.

a picture is worth a thousand words:

http://img120.exs.cx/img120/8210/IMG_0046v.jpg

awww..how sweet...what a cutie!! That makes me miss my nephew even more...:nod: :o

that's my new (and only) nephew, born on saturday. i must note that he looks better by now, he's only 10 minutes old in that picture.

I was out and about yesterday and I did notice that people seem stressed.
Anyway, I am thankful for:
my child and her health
being able to travel around and see Fleetwood Mac this past year :woohoo:
you guys
my felines
all the little things

Well he's cute in that picture - looks a bit worried and apprehensive though haha -- congrats on becoming an uncle...it's a lot of fun....I love being an aunt...all the fun but I don't have to keep him ;)

He looks beautiful in that picture.

I agree...
 

I enjoy being an Uncle (Even though my nephew Shane cannot pronounce my name :lol: ), it has eased my fear of being around rug-rats/dudie diaper carriers somewhat...I have 2 nieces (Including my look-a-like niece Kendra...Poor kid, tsk, tsk, tsk!!!! But she has inherited the musical ability which is hella cool!) and 5 nephews.

Congrats Tommer...

Brian j.

Wow. Doesn't look like I'll ever have more than one nephew (unless I marry someone with sibling who have kids...). So as a result my nephew gets spoiled by his grandparents and me (I'm his ONLY aunt...he's got no uncles)...:D

My nephew used to not be able to pronounce my name but I enjoyed being Aunt Gee (hard G) - I'm back to Aunt Dee now though....ha.

They're comin!

I'm thankful for my health, my mother, being able to go to school, good friends, and living in a blue state.

Amber's sig is up to crazy hijinks again. It has appeared in random places in 4 messages in this thread, and now the two pictures come up as smilies when I click reply :laugh:.

Well...
 

My older brother Geary has 2 kids and Deb's brothers have 1 girl & 4 boys, So I miscalculated earlier, I have 2 nieces & 6 nephews...

My nephew calls my "Uncle Bill" (Bill is my LOSER drunk/drughead oldest brother) since he assumes to think I'm Bill :shrug: Oh well, The kid will get it right sooner than later :lol:

Brian j.

That's good...
 

I can finally have something new to enjoy besides more of Stevie's 1989 OSOTM bootlegs I have been transferring as of late (And doing some minor editing on the Blizz mastered vinyl version of the "Tusk" album.)

Brian "Anyone have any FM/SN DVD's to trade?" j.

:laugh: :laugh: That sucks...what does he call Bill??

Yeah - my nephew used to have an issue with names...his little best friends name is Maya - and Maya has a brother named Ari - for a good year my nephew called his friend Ari and the brother Maya lol....

I used to be terrified of children - but I do love my nephew...and am slowly warming up to other children :D

Hopefully...
 

he calls him a "f__khead", Because that is, AT BEST, what he is :lol: (I havent seen his lost cause ass since I was 16 or 17 yrs.old, And his lame ass excuses about "My life is ruined because it's Mom's fault" has worn on my nerves...He just better pray he doesnt show up at my Mother's for Christmas cause his ass WILL go down in a heap of industrial ass-stomping from Geary & myself)

Btw, My 12 yr old niece (And lookalike) Kendra calls me "Dork" while I nicknamed her "Nimrod", though she still doesnt even know what a "Nimrod" is :lol: :laugh: :lol:

Brian "Family values my ass..." j.

Ah yes, good to know that loving and supportive family nicknames are not unique to my family.

My grandpa always called my sister dipstick, and now my nephew is little dipstick....my uncle called all of us kids by the lovely nickname "Ugly" haha...great...and then there was the loving "meathead" from my grandpa...

I'm thankful for my awesome dream job that allows me to do what I love and get paid very well for it.
I'm thankful that I work for generous employers who not only pay me well but pick up the tab for my health insurance.
I'm thankful that my health insurance picks up the tab for my expensive arthritis drugs.
I'm thankful that said arthritis drugs have actually worked!
I'm thankful for my crazy, funny, wonderful family, even if half of them are Republicans.
I'm thankful for a community of like-minded FM fans that keep me smiling, laughing, and generally entertained.
I'm thankful that the first three season of Seinfeld are coming out on DVD!

Here's an article about...
 

a thankful soul (Thankful to have a job):

---------------------------------------
NEW YORK (AP) -- Rocker David Lee Roth, the former Van Halen frontman, is taking up a new trade.

Instead of screaming "Jump," he'll be yelling "Clear!"

Roth, 50, has been riding for several weeks with a New York ambulance crew in training to become a paramedic, The New York Post reported Tuesday.

"I have been on over 200 individual rides now," said Roth. "Not once has anyone recognized me, which is perfect for me."

The singer, who spent a decade with Van Halen before embarking on a solo career, except a collaboration with the band for two new songs on a greatest hits album, has been riding along with crews in the Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn several nights a week.

His training seems to be going well.

Several weeks ago, Roth saved the life of a heart attack victim in the Bronx by using a defibrillator.

He takes his work so seriously that he did not want publicity so that it would not "diminish what I am trying to do here." He has said that he did not want the neighborhoods he was working in named so that he would not draw attention to himself or co-workers.

"You would never know you were dealing with a rock-'n'-roll guy," said Linda Reissman, Roth's EMS consultant and tutor. "His commitment really is touching. He wants to help people."
---------------------------------------------

I guess he should be thankful when a patient doesnt ask him to sing "Somebody Get Me A Doctor" :lol: :laugh: :nod:

Oh. My. Gawd.

I would never allow David Lee Roth to attend to my injuries. :lol:
