Happy Thanksgiving

There's an abundance of events to comment on, but first I feel I must take this time out to be thankful for life and it more abundantly. In light of such a sobering day of thankfulness on our horizon, it's always good to stop and acknowledge how truly blessed we are to live in this nation (or be living for that matter). And with every measure of blessing comes responsibility. It is my prayer that the coming year will see us embracing the fullness of what requirements exist for those who've been given much.

I could go on and on about all the things I'm thankful for (bacon especially), but these are just a few:

  • I am thankful that God snatched me while I was young (16 to be exact)
  • I am thankful for Jesus Christ
  • I am thankful that I can freely read my Bible in public without threat to my life
  • I am thankful for unconditional love
  • I am thankful for bacon
  • I am thankful for blue jeans that fit the right way
  • I am thankful that for the next four years, I won't have to say "President Kerry"
  • I am thankful for parents that love me in spite of my hellion-like tendencies
  • I am thankful for bacon
  • I am thankful for two younger siblings that cause me inordinate amounts of stress on an almost daily basis
  • I am thankful for a Father who is not like my Mother (because I can only take one nut)
  • I am thankful that PETA will never be able to stop me from eating and enjoying bacon
  • I am thankful for computers (but not HTML, because to quote one of my commenters, "it is from Satan")
  • I am thankful for good health
  • I am thankful for bacon
  • I am thankful that I have the functioning of all my faculties--well, most (my mother debates my sanity often)
  • I am thankful for bacon
  • I am thankful for DSL
  • I am thankful for the Cosby Show
  • I am thankful for hair on my head that grows without the aid of Rogaine
  • I am thankful for shoes
  • I am thankful for toothpaste and dental floss
  • I am thankful for family--even my crazy auntie who embarrasses us all
  • And I am thankful for many more things, but it's important to know, that I am really really thankful for BACON.
Everyone say it with me now, "BAAAAAAAACON!"

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Travel safely and don't forget to be thankful.

Don't forget bacon.

Happy holiday to Seattle's brightest sounding board since Dr. Frasier Crane.

Happy Turkey day!

Since you like bacon, perhaps you are the one to post the recipe for pigturduckhen, the logical next step up from turducken, a deboned turkey stuffed with a deboned duck stuffed with a deboned chicken. Stuff this all into a deboned suckling pig and roast away. Sounds like a project for your mom and Aunt.

Ambra, I laughed so hard when I read this. I am thankful for bacon too... in fact, I am eating some right now along with my homemade baked bean recipe that I made for a potluck today at work.

And everybody who is thankful for Ambra and her awesome blog, say "I"!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Mmmm, bacon! (Since nobody else has said it yet.)
I think we know what Ambra wants her Thanksgiving turkey stuffed with.

I'm thankful for all of my blog buddies and folks who take the time to e-socialize.

(Do women use Rogaine?)

What about Bacon Bits - or do they just make you mad?

I just discovered you. Your Fashion Faux-Pas had me laughing out loud. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, Ambra! Gobble!

Thank THE GOOD LORD for bacon. Life just wouldn't be worth living without it. And none of that soy nonsense, either. Thick center-cut hickory smoked squealer.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm thankful God snatched you when you were young, too!

Happy Thanksgiving, Ambra!

Bacon is good, Ambra:

Not that processed "Turkey-Bacon", either. Real, salty, crisp pig strips. And the eggs that are fried or scrambled in their sizzling renderings.

Jack.

PS: Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Bacon is also kuffr friendly and repugnant to islamofacists. So hang a piece around your neck today. (Who knows when you might get hungry?!)
It's sort of like that string of garlic used to repel vampires in mythology.
