This Thursday is Thanksgiving in the U.S., traditionally we say things that we are thankful for.
So, as the title says, what are you thankful for?

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

I'm thankful that I quit going to those damn things years ago.

No more must I set around and listen to lies and fairy tales of wealth and accomplishment from family members that I completely despise in the first place.

Thankful that I don't have to watch Aunt Edna clean her teeth in the kitchen sink after desert.

Thankful that I don't have to tell people, that I have never seen before, that their newborn hell spawn looks like a little angel.

So, yes...

...I am very thankful.

Well, for as long as I can remember, my family has always had Thanksgiving with the family members we actually like lol so it's something I actually look forward to even though we all usually get together a few times a month anyway...

I am thankful for my friends/family/co-workers, and the relationships that I have built over the years. I'm thankful for parents that taught me the value of a good work ethic and to respect the usefulness of a decent moral compass.

I'm thankful for my time in the military, and the friends I served with! Bless them during the closing of this year and protect them into the next year.

I'm thankful for a little sister that adores and looks up to me, no matter how many mistakes I make, and constantly reminds me of the type of role model I am for her.

Finally, I'm thankful for any girl that gives me the time of day... May God have mercy on you :) Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Friends, Family, Good health, Awesome foods (i.e BACONNNNNN), and of course those hilarious security cam footages that come out after black friday madness. Watch them, and you too will see that all senior citizens are faking it. 90 year old grandma doing ninja flips and stuff to get at a TV, another old woman running through a crowd of people with her electric scooter, etc. Good times.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Im thankful that ISD mention about simple and good food, also thankful for being here in eve since 2007, thankful for living in planet Earth surrounded by beautyful universe.

Mashed potatoes for the win! i like it mashed and fried on frying pan, with garlic, and optional fried egg + cold milk, good stuf.

EvE isn't game, its style of living.

We dont really celebrate that shite here in Scotland.

If I was thankful for anything, it would be that I dont have to spend an entire evening pretending everything is hunky dory.
