I felt that the point was how so-called reporters are going out of their way to avoid mentioning the legality or illegality of the immigrants they're reporting about. They are grinding an agenda while smearing journalistic ethics for their masters. B4 is right (as usual) for casting a suspicious eye on a story where aliens are portrayed as embracing American culture when those of us who live and work among them know better.

Hey, B4 and Cy; I hope the holiday has been good for you both. I think we still have much to be thankful for. It seems we are at a point where we have to knuckle up and fight for it or risk losing it all. I'm fighting...because we're right.

It's been a wonderful day. My wife, after Mass, went cruising her favorite local stores this morning with our younger daughter. They came home giggling like little tots.

Then the bird hit the oven and about 3;30 we sat down for a fun hour and a half meal. Lots of family recollections and laughing.

Now the girls are squeezed together on a couch like little bunnies and watching some 'soothing' romantic movie. LOL

I've been lucky all day, no pain medication needeed and just one short nap.

A great day indeed!

Awesome. So many people collect bad relative stories...you are truly blessed. I'm frankly envious, but have consolation by being unbothered, somewhat. I give money I can't really afford to charity to make up for the painful experiences you folks with relatives usually endure ("Feed the Homeless", etc.). It's convoluted.

What matters is celebrating what we've been given in an appropriate manner. I am thankful to have health, life and opportunity to improve.

This was one of the best ones ever. Just my mom and sister and my greedy poodle.

>>So many people collect bad relative stories...<<

If anyone starts in with that kind of stuff I ask, "Have you told the judge yet, or was it denied as evidence?" They get that puzzled look for a moment and then realize that we are not going to be a sympathetic jury, so the laughter comes back to the table.

If cash will cure their problem, then talk to me privately, in the office, not at the dining room table with everyone lisening.

Old family photographs always get exchanged at these family affairs. The pic that you've had tucked away for thirty years might just be the one I want for the mantle. Somehow, the albums seem to bring back good memories. I guess because we tend to take more pictures at happy affairs, births, weddings, vacations, etc.

For the price we are paying you would think that we should at least have them as housekeepers.

All poodles are dogs, but not all dogs can be a poodle.

Heh, heh...

My ex-cunhado used to make an incedible pork roast for Thanksgiving. Replete with arroz e feijao and all the little details you'd expect for a Brasilian feast like farofa and pao de queijo. If calories were sin, we would have gone straight to the hot place after any one of those meals. I just don't think they believe in "Cholesterol" in Brasil.
