A young man named Bill received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.

Bill tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.


Finally, Bill was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. Bill shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.

Bill, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed.

Then suddenly there was total quiet.

Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, Bill quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto Bill's
outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended
you with my rude language and actions.

I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior. Bill was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.

As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

We will pray for your nephew. You need to find the troop prayer thread and post it there. It gets lots of hits.

[JustAmy]

An a very Happy Thanksgiving to you, BIS.
Have a wondeful and safe week-end!

[Dubya]

"May I ask what the turkey did?"
That is classic!!
I need to put it in my mailbox right now.

Sorry ... I had to step out and send email. LOL

Wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Market Day Pumpkin Cheesecake

Notes:
This recipe was graciously sent to CopyKat by Misty, adapted by one from Kraft Foods, called New York Pumpkin Cheesecake. She also had a wonderful tip. If you don't have a spring form pan, pour into the cake pan, 8 or 9 inch round will do, just fill it half way

Ingredients:
1 C. graham cracker crust
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 C. chopped pecans (walnuts work real good too)
2 Tbsp. butter
5 pkg. (8 oz) Cream cheese, softened
3 Tbsp. flour
1 C. sugar
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 C. canned pumpkin (I prefer 1 small can, Not the large size)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
3 eggs
1/2 C. sour cream
(additional walnuts for garnishing the top)

Preparation:
Mix crumbs, 3 Tbsp. sugar, pecans (walnuts) and butter; press onto bottom of 9 inch spring form pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Beat cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, flour and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Blend in pumpkin and spices. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition, just until blended. Blend in sour cream; pour over crust.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 5 minutes to 1 hour and 10 minutes or until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
