My Dragon Fly and Me
If I could be a Dragon Fly and wing my way through the sky I would never be shy just me and my Dragon Fly!
By moonlight we ride the wind chase the comets tail for fun by day we would hide from the sun our fragile wings would come undone
On darkest nights we would use fireflies as our guides we would dip and we would glide through the heavens open wide and scatter diamonds in the night sky my Dragon Fly and I...
And we would wing past our lovers silent in the night... to kiss their face in our flight much to their surprise and delight my Dragon Fly and me in sight...
Such a view do we share away up here in the air of breezes soft through our hair my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

And so we toast the
two of us
we do not know
the woe the
forefathers knew
of a new grand land
so with fear and awe
they lifted a mug
of cheer and Thanksgiving
that first year and
we hold this ceremony
this eve hundreds of
years later and from
many lands our
nation great is being
tested once again
In God We Trust
our nation to stand
whole and under God
in this FREE LAND

You're good to me. I just don't know how people post pictures on their site or how they're hosted. Call me goofy, I guess.

Here's to a temperance supper,
With water in glasses tall,
And coffee and tea to end with
And me not there at all!

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind always be at your back
May you be in heaven half an hour
before the devil knows your there

But Snippy, I too, hold
the water glass tall
filled with H2O
or my own brew
of coffee strong
the only kick I get
these days
Sorry about that
Laughing Out Loud
line could not resist
just in jest I guess
Wish we could all
gather near a table round
to expound on issues
of the day and pray
a prayer of Thanksgiving
That would be grand...

Heres to the four cardinal sins of man
--stealing, lying, swearing and drinking.
When you steal, steal away from dull companions;
when you lie, lie to protect a lovely lady;
when you swear, swear by your country;
and when you drink, drink with me.

We have a great sense of humor, imo. In seriousness though I'll leave you one of my favorites;
Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live everyday as if it were your last.

With Thanksgiving being celebrated tomorrow, here are a few reasons I'm thankful.
1. I'm not a turkey. Although some of my friends contest this assertion, I stand by my claim. Turkeys gobble. I don't. That's because I'm forced to eat very deliberately, being slowed down by partials and having to chew with only two matching teeth. In addition, turkeys wear feathers. I don't. The last time I wore one was on my fifth Halloween.
2. I'm still above ground. That's very important to me. In the first place, I hate small, confined spaces and they haven't provided the departed with spacious pyramid tombs for quite a few centuries. In the second place, I've an aversion to damp, cold places. Of course, I might outsmart them when the time comes by demanding cremation. I'd prefer to be warm and cozy instead of shivering and cold.
3. I'm thankful for the thoughtful nerds have invented spell checkers. They were paid for their work but they earned it. I'd never be able to write if I had to spend all my time checking and rechecking to make sure I was abiding by the dictates of Webster. To make matters worse, I can't even tell when I misspell a word until my computer sounds the alarm.
4. I'm thankful that my lack of political correctness hasn't led to me being hung from a lamppost. The politically correct police have been hot on my trail for decades, forcing me to change my pen name at regular intervals. Political correctness is one type of censorship that I can never condone.
5. I'm thankful I married a mighty good cook. Some people have it and some people don't. When it comes to cooking, I'm better at mixing chemical concoctions. They are not supposed to be eaten.

Can you believe its Thanksgiving already?
It seems like just yesterday when I finished stowing away the patio furniture and beach chairs. Okay, so it was just yesterday! Ive been busy. So sue me.
And once again its that time when all Americans gather together with their family and loved ones (the two groups often being mutually exclusive) to thank God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, their lucky stars, etc., for the many blessings which have been bestowed upon us over the past year.
As has become my custom, I have compiled a list of the things for which I am especially thankful this year, in the hope that they may spur you to think about the many blessings in your own life (rather than about the inevitable curses).
So here we go:
Im thankful that I didnt sign up to join the Taliban when they were looking for a few good men.
Im thankful that Regis Philbin isnt on every channel on my T.V.
Im thankful that I didnt put a whole lot more of my retirement money into those Internet stocks which looked so incredibly cheap at this time last year.
Im thankful that I dont have to wear Britney Spears bare-midriff wardrobe, given the gut Ive put on from sitting at my computer writing these columns.
Im thankful that the white powder I discovered on my mail a few weeks ago turned out to be just my mailmans cocaine.
Im thankful that I went for the Chevy instead of the BMW, long before I knew how flaccid the economy would be now.
Im thankful that I didnt peak too early in life (I hope).
Im thankful that I didnt land a high-paying job in the World Trade Center, and saddened that anybody else did.
Im thankful that Al Gore ended up with a four-year sabbatical from government service, if only so we dont have to hear about the Social Security lock box every ten minutes.
Im thankful that Im not that guy who got flattened like a pancake by a 350-pound defensive lineman on last weeks Monday Night Football telecast.
Im thankful that my parents decided to come to America and work their butts off, since I wouldnt be here (or anywhere else, for that matter) if they hadnt.
Im thankful that I wasnt given Michael Jacksons facial surgery by mistake during my last visit to the hospital.
Im thankful that somebody invented the computer, without which Id probably still be banging away on a typewriter at my college rate of about one double-spaced page every twenty minutes, with edits requiring another ten minutes of Liquid Paper application, blowing and retyping.
Im thankful that somebody invented the fax machine, but not when Im receiving junk faxes that use my paper and ink!
Im thankful that I have the time to sit down and realize how thankful I should be.
Im thankful that God hasnt taken my occasional (okay, frequent) bitching and moaning about the minor frustrations of daily life as a sign that Im not happy to be here.
Im thankful that my occasional fashion transgressions arent felonies punishable by prison or death by lethal injection.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

They all ring true except I happen to know you are a good cook!
I'm thankful that you aren't going to make me list what I'm thankful for.

LOL. You posted this one to yourself and I missed it first time around. This one is really good! These are my favorites from his list. Although the one about gore is good too;
