#8. To: buckeroo (#6) Thanksgiving has nothing to do with your mythical pictures or tales about Pilgrims clasping their hands in "thanks." There is some background to this. In that era, harvest/end-of-year festivals were pretty universal across Europe. And they were mandatory. Businesses were required to close, whether the owner or any of the employees wanted to or not. Protestants were forced to celebrate feast days, against their religious belief. And Protestant business owners were forced to pay extra taxes for these holidays, meaning they missed work and they had to pay for religious celebrations they didn't believe in. America had the first secular non-compulsive Thanksgiving celebrations. You didn't have to celebrate it at all if you didn't want to. And many did not, choosing to work and do business instead. Strangely enough, everyone has forgotten this now. There is public pressure to close every business and shut down the federal/state governments and commerce for 4-5 days. The feds now want a five-day weekend with a paid day off after Thanksgiving (because they are not already overpaid quite enough compared to the private sector).
#9. To: TooConservative (#8) America has forgotten the value of our heritage; to guard and defend our nation. With our lost heritage, we are doomed to fight enemies in foreign nations while importing them onto our land as invited guests so we fight among ourselves choosing whom is an enemy. The US Government has caused the grief of and about our nation. It is not happenstance, either.

#14. To: redleghunter (#0) Uncle Mortimer looks like Karl Rove. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president #15. To: no gnu taxes, hondo666 (#14) Uncle Mortimer looks like Karl Rove. LOL I thought the same thing. I truly expected Hondo to pick up on that:) Caught a bit of the Hannity interview with Trump last night. LOL he outright called Rove "a loser."
"I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore. For great is Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol." Psalm 86:12-13 #16. To: Don (#2) Thanks. Hope you enjoyed your day with family and friends.
"I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore. For great is Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol." Psalm 86:12-13 #17. To: redleghunter (#15) Uncle Mortimer looks like Karl Rove. But why is that demon at the end mocking Sarah Palin with his "You betcha" comment? Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president #18. To: redleghunter (#16) (Edited) My wife and I enjoyed our day indoors at home. A strong wind blowing snow and cold temp kept us indoors. It didn't help that my wife fell on ice and broke a bone in her leg last Friday. But, she is quite happy sitting on her easy chair. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving. Psalm 37 PRAY FOR PARIS #19. To: no gnu taxes (#17) Wow you are pretty observant:)
"I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore. For great is Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol." Psalm 86:12-13 #20. To: Don (#18) We did thank you. Hoping and praying for a quick recovery for the MRS.

![]() #22. To: tomder55m, ALL (#12) Happy Thanksgiving! "A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.” ― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity #23. To: redleghunter (#16) Happy Thanksgiving So were you back home in Texas or still in Florida for Thanksgiving? I had mine last Friday night cause it was the only day we could all get together, 2 of the daughters had to work yesterday... It was nice here so I was outside patching the driveway and playing with the dogs. I had a small hole (or so I thought) up by the garage. When I started pulling out the asphalt I found out the base course underneath had washed out and ended up using a whole 40lb bucket to patch it. Got to go out today and find some good sealer for some other small cracks. Was online ordering some gifts for Xmas, also thawed out some pork to make some Tasso (for Red Beans and Rice next weekend) and some bottom round to make some "Po Boys" today... :) Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians! #24. To: Chuck_Wagon (#13) " But Mom is still around! " That is great Chuck. Spend all the time you can with her. I lost my Dad back in 94, and i lost Mom in 86. I still miss them. i will make one suggestion. I wish I had done this. Buy a cassette tape recorder, or some digital thingy. But when you are with her, and discussing family history, or what ever, record it. I think back to discussions I had with Mom & Dad, and really wish I had recorded them. I wish I had done that with my grandparents as well. It would be wonderful to listen to them now. My two youngest kids did not get to know them, I so wish they had. But recordings would be a good thing for them. Remember, enjoy your Mom, and do all you can for her now! You will not regret it!

To: CZ82 (#23) So were you back home in Texas or still in Florida for Thanksgiving? Sounds like a full two days of activity:) Yes made it back last week to have Thanksgiving with family.
"I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore. For great is Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol." Psalm 86:12-13 #26. To: redleghunter (#25) and some bottom round to make some "Po Boys" today... :) Meat and gravy is in the oven right now and it's about time to get some potatoes cooking... Also need to put together the spice mixture for the Tasso and cover the pork with it and let sit in the fridge for 2-3 days before I smoke it... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians! #27. To: redleghunter (#25) Yes made it back last week to have Thanksgiving with family. Good, Thanksgiving is always better when the whole family is there... Can remember a few times out on TDYs over Thanksgiving, even though I was with all "the guys" it just didn't seem the same... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians! #28. To: CZ82 (#26) Sounds great. Enjoy!
"I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore. For great is Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol." Psalm 86:12-13 #29. To: CZ82 (#27) Can remember a few times out on TDYs over Thanksgiving, even though I was with all "the guys" it just didn't seem the same... Had about 7 of those overseas Thanksgiving and Christmas meals between combat tours and Korea. Good chow every time except the last one in 2009. They let the Indian cooks handle it and it turned out fine but UN-American. I think they put curry in everything. I like curry, just not on my Thanksgiving day meal:) Remember having one Thanksgiving in the "dust bowl" at NTC Fort Irwin CA (Mojave). The division commander had the option to get us there the day after Thanksgiving, but thought getting us there two days prior to Thanksgiving would give us more time to draw equipment. You can imagine how well that went over with the troops and our families. :(

And I also assume he was informed of this little tidbit of information and chose to ignore it??? Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians! #32. To: redleghunter (#28) Bet the wife asked me 6 or 8 times "Is it done yet"??? It's a very simple dish not a whole lot of hands on work most of it is just "hurry up and wait"...

To: CZ82, tomder55, liberator, GarySpFc, Don, BobCeleste, sneakypete (#31) He must have been looking for a promotion or he did not realize how fast the troops can "gear up" and put their gear away when properly motivated!!! And I also assume he was informed of this little tidbit of information and chose to ignore it??? The CG was none other than Wesley Clark. So yes he ignored such advice. The same guy who used to ride a horse around (1CD we still have horses) during SGTs time training. One day he came up on an NCO in my Battalion area training his troops on NBC equipment. He stopped dismounted and explained to the NCO how he could be a better trainer. He mounted up again and his horse took a huge dump on the grass in the battalion HQs area. To give credit to the NCO he tried flagging down the general to pick up after his horse. Not fast enough. Long story short the Bn CSM was not happy and made a call to the Div CSM. I heard that profanity laden conversation from my office down the hall (I was Bn Adjutant back then). To no avail of course. Some young NCO and soldier had to clean up the mess. I recommended a "return to sender" policy which helped the CSMs mood a bit:)
"I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore. For great is Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol." Psalm 86:12-13 #34. To: redleghunter (#33) You have had some interesting dealings with Clintoon's favorite General. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? #35. To: tomder55 (#34) Yes. Before Bubba was elected. But we soon found out who was Bubbas inside advisor during the campaign.

Psalm 86:12-13 #36. To: redleghunter (#33) Long story short the Bn CSM was not happy and made a call to the Div CSM. I heard that profanity laden conversation from my office down the hall I am shocked that you would suggest a SGM,and especially a CSM,would lose their temper and resort to profanity! They are normally such laid-back mellow fellows, Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them. #37. To: sneakypete (#36) LOL. I was young back then. I offered to get a box, help put the contents in the box and help him deliver it. Cooler heads prevailed...eventually.
