Hi everyone! I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating with your family and friends.

Here is a little treat I found - love it!

'Twas the Night of Thanksgiving

'Twas the night of Thanksgiving, and I just couldn't sleep.
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned, the dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation with all of my might.
Tossing and turning with anticipation,
The thought of a snack became infatuation.
So I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door,
And gazed at the fridge full of goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
Till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground!
I crashed through the ceiling. Floating into the sky,
With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie.
But I managed to yell as I soared past the trees...

Happy eating to all! Pass the cranberries, please!

Have a good one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so I am all for the holiday spirit, don't get me wrong here, I love Christmas it is my favorite time of year. However what I saw on TV this past Sunday night was absurd. How the Grinch Stole Christmas was on!!!!! Traditionally the first time the show is aired is on Thanksgiving night and I am fine with that, I expect that. To play it on November 12th is crazy. I feel like as soon as that station broadcasted it then it gave all the other channels the permission to play all the comericals, and now we are being overloaded with them!! Let one holiday happen at a time, we are still more than a week away from Thanksgiving. And on top of this two weekends ago a local radio station switched to all christmas music, from now till December 26th. How are we suppossed to enjoy the seasons and reflect on the true meanings of the holiday if we are skipping to the next one?

OK I will get down off my soap box, I just think that this world moves fast enough as it is and we don't need to rush it along any quicker. Well have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone and enjoy each day !!!

OK give this a try- a promise the result is worth the 60 seconds it takes to read it....

ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST

Count every "F" in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...
(SEE BELOW)

HOW MANY ?

................. 3?

WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !

The reasoning behind is further down.

The brain cannot process "OF".

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!

Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.
Three is normal, four is quite rare.
