SLH and I will go over to my step-daughters house this evening for turkey dinner - I'm gonna contribute some dressing. It'll be good to see them, and the g'sons again. I just hope she doesn't go into labor in the kitchen. She is due with their first daughter next week.

I took the girlfriend and her son to my dad's for dinner today. They hadn't met her son yet and everyone hit it off swimmingly!

I also over ate but not enough to get sick. I also ate that I don't normally include in my diet, but limited it to a bite or two of each. Mashed taters, stuffing and candied yams. It's nice to be at a place where I know I can eat two bites of something and be done instead of eating the whole damned tray. :)

It was a great day. I LOVE Thanksgiving.

I resent not having thanksgiving. I suppose we have Waitangi day here, but that's more an excuse for the Maori's to get angry and for racial slurs to be thrown about.

Do native americans celebrate thanksgiving (yay! today is the anniversary of white-man taking our land and giving us syphillis!)?

Has your stepdaughter popped yet Simon?

Some amerinds celebrate thanksgiving, some do not. The tribe that was there for the first such celebration have long since ceased to exist, so they certainly don't.

As for the giving of syphilis, the evidence suggests that was a gift by the Caribs to the Spanish, so that won't fly. They can be unhappy about influenze, rubella, smallpox, mumps, gonorrhea, pertussis, athlete's foot, and numerous others instead.

Theresa will go in the morning of 12/04 for a C-section delivery, if the baby doesn't decide otherwise.

I stand corrected :D
