Great looking Thanksgiving Day presentation. It can only be trumped by the class act of President Bush.

Our oldest daughter decided that this year would be the year for her to take on the task of preparing and hosting our Thanksgiving Day family celebration.

Lot's of phone calls - "How do I do this, How do I do that?"

Final score = a perfect 10!

Grandson Christian decided to make a place marker for everyone gathered at the table. He labored all morning making each unique place marker.

Now if y'all will excuse me, I hear a turkey sandwich calling me.

"I have no excuse for my absence. I throw myself at your mercy hoping you will understand how distraught I was yesterday remembering how Billie refused to invite me over for Thanksgiving dinner."

Oh, how insensitive of me to forget that sad fact, TMan..|:>(

Forgive me if you can, my only thought actually with you not here, we were deprived of the pleasure of your company.

We all were hoarding portions to give you, but it appears you were well fed.
I'm so glad you had such a wonderful day!

Don't you love such precious touches?
A true sentimentalist, I saved a lot of those kinds of treasures, and hope you will tuck them away.

Their greatest value will be down the road when they are married, and you can present them to his bride, and see her delight to have them to later give to their child!
She also will appreciate your gesture of passing along your loving memories, and become closer to you...

I just want you to know I am totally stealing xmas graphics from last year's threads for my thread for Tuesday!

[Pippin]

AHAH!

A hint as to what to watch out for on Tuesday! :O)

(I;m gonna win that GBW doll! YEP! I will!)

RE: #205

GBW = GWB!

Teddy really needs to think seriously about retiring!

As long as the "swimmer" can ride the government gravy train, he will never voluntarily step down. The ugly, bloated, murdering alcoholic thinks he is *it* because of his last name.

smacks of a double standard.

It's the *dims* we're talking about. *Everything* is a double-standard to them!

[dansangel]

That is *way* too cute, (((((DD))))))

It sounds as though you were certainly blessed with family this year. Kudos to your daughter for taking on the daunting task!

[Pippin]

TK is a BIG FAT UGLY SLOBBERY ALCHOHOLIC BIG MOUTH LYING LIB BUSH HATER PAR ELLEXILANCE!

AND HES STUPID TOO!

[dansangel]

LOL! But tell us how you *really* feel.

Anyway, it's Thanksgiving and we have so much to be blessed and thankful for. You know the dims are just sick to death after what our President achieved yesterday. That's enough punishment for them - for now!

[Pippin]

LOL!

I think The President kinda ruined thier apetites yesterday!

[Donaeus]

Forgive me if I left anyone out, I'm having to type this in a hurry. Mom and my sis have decided we need to brave the Day-After Thanksgiving Shopping Insanity! LOL Hope we come back in one piece.

Hope ya'll are having wonderful times and making great memories with those you love. Thank you so much to our hostesses for the great intro!

((((((everyone)))))) I'll try to be back later this evening my friends, to share stories and good times. Thank you for being part of my life. God bless each of you!

[SpookBrat]

Hiya Pippin. Hope I haven't missed you. I haven't seen you in awhile and just wanted to say "Hey".

[SpookBrat]

Are you guys crazy? LOL

This is our third Christmas in a row where we are "poor". I've decided I like being poor at Christmas. Stress is so much lower. No money to buy gifts with so no shopping to worry about. LOL

Ally and I both have James Avery on our Christmas list. How I miss Texas. Sigh.

Ok, Folks. Texas has given all those complainers plenty of time to get used to the results. After seeing the whiners along the inauguration route, the folks from Texas have decided that we might just take matters into our own hands. Here is our solution:

#1: Let Al Gore become President of the United States (all 49 states).

#2: George W. Bush becomes the President of the Republic of Texas.

So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic?

NASA in Houston, Texas (we will control the space industry).

We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States

Defense Industry (we have over 65% of it). The term "Don't mess with Texas," will take on a whole new meaning.

Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years. Yankee states? Sorry about that.

Natural Gas - Again we have all we need and it's too bad about those northern states. Al Gore will figure a way to keep them warm....

Computer Industry - we currently lead the nation in producing computer chips and communications: Small places like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD, Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Semiconductor, Dallas Semiconductor, Delphi, Nortel, Alcatel, Etc,Etc. The list goes on and on.

Health Centers - We have the largest research centers for Cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world, and other large health planning centers.

We have enough colleges to keep us going: UT, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Rice, SMU, University of Houston, Baylor, UNT, Texas Women's University, etc. Ivy grows better in the south anyway.

We have a ready supply of workers (just open the border when we need some more.

We have control of the paper industry, plastics, insurance, etc.

In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard and the Texas Air National Guard. We don't have an army but since everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an army in 24 hours if we need it. If the situation really gets bad, we can always call Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over a couple Texas
Rangers.

We are totally self sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs and vegetable produce and everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good. Don't need any food.

This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have.

Now to the rest of the United States under President Gore: Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars, only President Gore will be able to drive around in his 9 mile per gallon SUV. The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes.

You won't have any TV as the space center in Houston will cut off your communications. You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes but since Mr. Gore has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas.

Just a few notes on REAL election results:

Total Counties won by Bush: 2,434
Total Counties won by Gore: 677

Population of counties won by Bush: 143 million.
Population of counties won by Gore: 127 million

Square miles of country won by Bush: 2,427,000
Square miles of country won by Gore: 580,000

States won by Bush: 29
States won by Gore: 19

And an even more remarkable finding....

Average Murder per 100,000 residents in counties won by Bush: 0.1
Average Murder per 100,000 r esidents in counties won by Gore: 13.2

Researchers found one more interesting fact that might help explain these disparate murder rates. Gun ownership in the counties won by Mr. Bush is much higher than in the counties won by Mr. Gore.

A large group of Iraqi soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand dune: "One Texas soldier is better than ten Iraqi".

The Iraqi commander quickly orders 10 of his best men over the dune whereupon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence. The voice once again calls out: "One Texan is better than one hundred Iraqi."

Furious, the Iraqi commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and instantly a huge gunfight commences. After 10 minutes of battle, again silence. The Texan voice calls out again: "One Texan is better than one thousand Iraqi."

The enraged Iraqi commander musters 1000 fighters and sends them to the other side of the dune. Rifle fire, machine guns, grenades, rockets and cannon fire ring out as a terrible battle is fought.... Then silence.

Eventually one badly wounded Iraqi fighter crawls back over the dune and with his dying words tells his commander, Don't send any more men......it's a trap. There's two of them."

[dansangel]

That's a *great* one (((((lonestar))))))
