Foo - Another one of Siu's mooshy threads

In the season of giving thanks, please tell us what you are thankful for. :)

Pie.

Addie :)

I am alive and breathing!

bicycles...duh!











...and pie.

In the season of giving thanks, please tell us what you are thankful for. :)

I'd be thankful if you stop all the mooshy threads. Geesh....I don't have enough moosh in me to handle them all. :rolleyes::D

I'm thankful for my awsomeness!

Flushable wipes

I'm thankful for my wife and kids and still being here to be with them after a head-on collision with a car at 20+ MPH.

Bicycles, pie, my family, and not living in Iraq, Afghanistan, Russia, Burma or Pakistan.

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your
Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

I am thankful for family, freinds including those made here (BDG and others), house, car, my health (what there is of it), and my freedom.

I am truely blessed. I have a wonderful family, great friends and also great career. I want things but I hurt for nothing. I never go to bed hungry, and I am warm every night. There is a lot to be thankful for.

I'm thankful that after a year of outsourcing and layoffs where my wife works that she's still there and things look good for the future. My wife has been there 26 years, lacks a little in the confidence department, is shy and quiet, and it would be really traumatic for her to have to find another job. It's also a job that would be hard to replace as far as pay and benefits.

We are truly thankful.

Siu, keep up the mooshy threads!

2nd chances :)

I am thankful that I can spend another Thanksgiving with my wonderful wife and my precious children. After coming so close to losing my wife one dark night in April, I count every one of my blessings. I make sure to tell my family I love them every day.

I'm thankful for my wife and children. They mean the world to me. Without them, I'd have nothing else.

In the season of giving thanks, please tell us what you are thankful for. :)

Siu Blue Wind for keeping things interesting around here. :beer:

And of course my kids. They rock!

Here's a song title: Be Thankful For What You Got by William De Vaughn (1974)

Lyrics:

Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back
You may not have a car at all
But remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall

Just be thankful for what you've got
Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back

You may not have a car at all
But remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got

Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh

Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back
You may not have a car at all
But remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall

Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh

[Instrumental Interlude]

Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh

My three great clean living kids and there mother;

Stacy – My sole-mate and best friend who put up with me
#1 Catherine – She is in retail and living on her own
#2 Joshua – US Marine and very dedicated
#3 Jessica – Junior in HS 3.8GPA

I am thankful for having a body that recovers well
for good friends
good booze
good food
and discovering that I am doing better in the grand scheme of things than I thought I was.

My two, beautiful, God-sent, daughters. I love them so much.

Because Destani, 12, is so smart and funny and quirky. She knows how to crack me up sometimes. And she's one of the best cheerleaders in the world.

Because Lilah, 8, is so innocent and has the most beautiful singing voices I've ever heard. Plus, no matter where we go her little hand has to find mine. It makes me melt.

I'm thankful for my friends and family...

waking up every day
being lucky enough to have seen and done some pretty amazing things in my 38 years
that I rediscovered the joy of cycling a few years back
having multiple bikes...but not enough room where I live to put them LOL
for all the Foosters and Bike Forums folks who have made the last few years around here so interesting.
that despite how many things have gone wrong this year... I'm still better off than a lot of people and have a lot to be glad about.

:-)

my family and friends
and that i'm not dead

Heard this on the radio this morning. Makes you really think:




I am thankful...


.. for the taxes that I pay, because it means that I
am employed .


.. for the mess to clean after a party, because it
means that I have been surrounded by friends.


.. for the clothes that fit a little too snug,
because it means I have enough to eat.


.. for my shadow that watches me work, because it
means I am out in the sunshine.


.. for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need
cleaning, and gutters that need fixing, because it
means I have a home.


.. for all the complaining I hear about the
Government, because it means we have freedom of speech.



.. for the parking spot I find at the far end of the
parking lot, because it means I am capable of
walking, and that I have been blessed with
transportation.


.. for my huge heating bill, because it means I am
warm.


.. for the lady behind me in church that sings off
key, because it means that I can hear.


.. for the pile of laundry and ironing, because it
means I have clothes to wear.


.. for weariness and aching muscles at the end of the
day, because it means I have been capable of working
hard and using those limbs.


.. for the alarm that goes off in the early morning,
because it means that I am alive.

And finally


.... for too much e-mail, because it means I have
friends who are thinking of me and are trying to make
me smile even when they are out of touch..

::schmooch::

I'm really not one for holidays anymore, that went away some time ago and hasn't been replaced - although I look for it ...

but I must say, tonight when riding home in the coldish rain - riding slow and rather enjoying it - I discovered I felt good. Meaning, I felt good about myself and felt at peace. Things that have and are bothering me - well, they can take a day or weekend off, cause they are not in the front portion of the brain at the moment. I feel good.

So yesss, ::smoochie:: I haven't felt this calm and delightfully happy in a long time.

:)

Keep the Mooooooshies coming ::schmoochies::

I am thankful I'm out here in AZ with my family, my health, a renewed interest in cycling, the kitty clan, Laurie the cat sitter, and the wonderful friends I've made this past year...

I am thankfull for this thread because it has this fantastic post which is getting printed as I type. I'm going to read it a few times and show it to my wife.

Thank you, half_bent.:)

For a place like this to get away from the daily problems.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I heard someone say this the other day (gee, do I sound like an old fart or what?). He said (and I'll paraphrase) that most people in life count DOWN from "100% happy". This is why he thinks people are so depressed. Because you're never going to be happy counting down from 100% happy!

He counts UP from 0%. He's happy. He may be me. :D

... Brad

Not having to move to Minnesota next week.

I'm thankful for:
- all my friends, including those I only know online
- my health
- my bikes
- being happy and having fun

Among other things, I'm very thankful for some of the great friends I've made right here.

well said.

I have to say that I'm incredibly thankful for my grandmother (dad's mom), who has been a fixture of every Christmas that I can remember, even when we've been on the other side of the world. She's 101 now, and it looks like she might not make it to this Christmas. She's just an incredible woman.
