<p>Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to all the CCers out there. Give thanks for everything you've got - if the worst thing in our lives is to be able to sit on an internet site and worry about our kids college plans, well, that's what my husband calls a high class problem! Hope you all have a happy turkey day...now that turkey, he REALLY has a problem LOL!</p>
<p>This message board is like crack I tell you. Once through and you are addicted for life. Now back to the turkey. Still not Thanksgiving for another 25 minutes fredo. Way to jump the gun!! This thread will probably be moved to cafe, but maybe the mods take the holiday off.</p>
<p>And to you and yours.</p>
<p>And remember - whenever you are feeling down about the world: The nice thing about a lousy world is that there are plenty of opportunities to make it better.</p>
<p>(start now)</p>
<p>Only for those in mood for a smile)
The Parrot</p>
<p>A young man named Jon 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. John 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, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder. John, 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, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said,</p>
<p>"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."</p>
<p>John 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,</p>
<p>"May I ask what the turkey did?"</p>
<p>HAPPY THANKSGIVING!</p>
<p>Speaking of turkey, remember that one Seinfeld where Jerry was dating that girl who had an old toy he wanted to play with, so he fed her a bunch of turkey and some wine so she would fall asleep and he could play with the toy? Classic I tell you!!</p>
