Happy Thanksgiving

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

It's that time of year again. When autunm leaves are wafting on the breeze to the ground, and we remember to give thanks. Yes tomorrow is our Thanksgiving Holiday.

So what's Planet thankful for this year?

Certainly NOT the Sisters new release.

But she is thankful for a dream coming true, the artwork from Zodiac signed *Love Z*, and her friends. And for Mr. BP for loving her even when she's bad. :wink: :innocent:

Take care and love and peace to all of Heartland.

First off, you have done it Again Black Shuk. I LOVE your new avatar. Alf has a very special place in my heart, and NO.. he may not eat my cat. ;)

Thanksgiving..well it was the Pilgrims, setting sail from Plymouth to the New World that started it. After arriving here, they had a hard time making a go of it. In the Autumn when they had survived a hard time, they had a big dinner with the Natives (Indians to those who are so PC) to give Thanks they still were around. And for all they had. Some how it got to be a National Holiday. 4th Thursday in November. Sinnie, CP if you know the history, fill in the gaps!

I am impressed BS, your Mum too? That's nice. What do you have for your meal?

Here it the most travelled Holiday. Everyone goes home to be with friends and family and eat like there was no tomorrow! Christmas does not even rival Thanksgiving when it come to being with your family.

A day to be thankful...is a good day.

Cheers

BP

He is one hunk of a man. He absolutely fascinates me.

One day I WILL meet him. And he called me Valerie...when he autographed my artwork...NOT Planet Girl..which is how I signed my name when I entered the contest. How Cool is that? He knows my REAL name!!!
Woo Hoo! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

OK frothy and way over the top..but hey..I'd be far worse if it were Andrew...who ..ok no more said.

I am currently holed up in the Hamptons (I got friends with relatives in high places, me), basking in the unseasonal sunshine and stuffing myself with turkey. I slept late today. Whoo-hoo!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Indeed Plymouth is pretty grim!

Sat down with the natives. Did the fighting start after the coffee and cigars?

Personal fave is Kid's Stuff, because it's so restrained.
