just thought I'd start this thread, seeing as it is the appropriate time and we can continue to use it as long as we want  8)

I'm thankful for having a wonderful place like  inthe00s.com to hang out whenever I feel like it

I'm thankful for being young and healthy (with the exception of my foot). I'm thankful for my wonderful husband who always puts up with me. I'm thankful for my beautiful son, even when he drives me batty. I'm thankful for my mom and dad and sister (and essentially all my extended family, including friends). I'm also thankful that I have met some awesome people on here over the years and have made many friends, whether we have met in real life or not. :)

And I'm thankful my darned lemon meringue pie turned out decent. I'm always scared that they won't. :D

I'm thankful that Julie is happy at the University and that she is close and gets to come home every weekend.

I'm thankful that Chrissy (Jacks) told me how funny Family Guy is & sent me a Youtube clip to check it out & now I enjoy it all the time.

nice family

Whoa. For some reason, I thought your daughter was, like, 14-years-old.

Whoa. For some reason, I thought your daughter was, like, 14-years-old.
I probably treat her like she is  :-[  she's 18, my little baby's all growed up 

Of course, you have to be thankful for your parents and family.

I am thankful for:

-Having the most wonderful husband in the world-who treats me like a goddess.
-My two furballs (as one is sitting on my lap as I write this)
-My family & friends.
-Not wanting for the necessities of life such as food, shelter, etc.
-Not having to work.
-Inthe00s.


I'm sure I can think of more later.


Cat

The Internet for the contact we all achieve here online.

I'm thankful for myself, my parents and other family members being together, at least relatively happy and in good health. I feel the same about having alot of things to look forward to in life and the skills/money for them, even if I have to actively do things to make it happen. I also feel thankful for feeling like I have the best girlfriend in the world (you know who you are). :)

I am thankful for

my life
the roof over my head (even tho I pay for it)
living in CA
living close enough to LA to engage in my other obsession
Mountain Dew  ;D
My baby girl (of course) blind or not she is still beautiful and loves me as much as I love her!
having a job that means something and serves others
my parents even though they live too far away
Mountain Dew (i'm really thankful for Mountain Dew
knowing that no matter what time of day it is I can always log on here and find a friend to chat with!

oh yeah and I am thankful that the guys at the fire department have invited the law enforcement side of the bldg to eat Turkey with them....even tho they are charging $13 a head to do so!

Yams... I will be very thankful for yams when I find someone who has made them!

and...... mountain dew.... I'm on my third  :D

I too am thankful for the yams but we didn't have yams today.  there weren't any.    :\'(

my friends....and they better be ready to go out tonight!

...Baker's Dozen game 

Hmm...a time for me to reflect on the positive things in my life...so, here goes:


I am very thankful for:

my loving family....we have our disagreements and things that are uncommon sometimes...but I am so thankful that I can say that I have a family..two parents who overcame hardships..and decided to stay together through all of these years.

great memories of my childhood. I am so lucky to have had parents that really made everything special in our lives. From birthday parties, to family nights, to holiday traditions...just everything. They have all meant so much to me.

Vaughn.  He is my sunshine, and I honestly don't know where I would be in life, without him being in it. Yes..he drives me crazy sometimes..but he is my world.

my job. Even though it isn't anything to brag about...I have met some great people/friends there..and it brings home a paycheck.

new friends that I have met at work..and here at inthe00s. I love this place..and I attribute it to the fact that I have made so many close friendships with a lot of you.  You all mean so much to me. :)

the fact that I am quirky and unique. When I was younger I hated the fact that I was "different" from a lot of people...but I have learned to embrace it..and now, I am so happy that I am not a "cookie cutter" like a lot of other people.

My best friend. I cannot even begin to explain how good it feels to have met someone who is almost the same person as myself. You also know exactly who you are...and I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart..for all you have done for me, how you have been there for me...and for just being you. I love you. xoxo.

Is it me? Is it me?  Just kidding...I'm pretty sure I know who it is but I've at least moved up to you top 100 right?  ;)

awwww.....you are one of my favorites too.....you and I are a lot alike..and that is so very awesome! I am very glad that we got the chance to get to know each other better. You're A-Ok, girlie! :)

You're so sweet. :)

And I pretty much agree or at least can see the rest of it too. I love my first 8 years of life, for all the family reasons you described. Even if my happy childhood kinda collapsed twice (once towards the end of 1989 when one of my grandma's died and we began losing money and had to move from one of the houses I loved; second around the middle of 1993 when my last grandparet died and my parents split up temporarily) what I had of it was such a fun and pleasant time just chilling. I was old enough to know stuff and relish in the experience, but young enough to not have to worry either. Even today I don't think the "good old days" totally ended until I got into high school. Even if the real ones are from age 3 to 7.

I agree with all your other stuff too.

is...that a sad or happy face? :-\\

...chaps

my family, mom and dad, who don't complain when I don't come to visit when I say I will. 
my brother, who..I was closer with when we were children, but he's always gonna be my baby bro.  lol  Even though he's now 34.  :o

My husband who really tries to be considerate of me.  He doesn't complain when we go visit my family and there isn't anything for him to do there, there isn't even any internet.  lol  He tried to make today nice when I didn't feel like driving the trip to my family, we went out to eat (twice) and it was horribly expensive but he didn't say anything other then...this is kinda expensive.  I do love my husband.  He's awesome.
He makes me laugh and deals with me when I'm not feeling well.  He accepts me and loves me just the way I am.

My friends both online and off, although I generally don't have many friends offline, and the ones I do know offline I usually only talk to them online (if that makes any sense.)

I'm thankful for my health, because even though I have some problems, things can always be worse and ARE worse for alot of people.

I'm thankful for Hollywood still making romantic comedies, because I'm really in the mood for a weepy romance right now.  :\'(  ;D

I'm thankful for the world still spinning and even with all it's problems and threats of problems, it's still a wonderful place to live and full of a myriad of different personalities but we're also one and the same in alot of ways.  (Sorry waxing poetic)

I'm thankful for my cat, especially when she purrs and wants to be cuddles (this does not happen all the often but hey I enjoy it when it does.)

I'm thankful for art and music, and to the people that use them to express themselves.

I can relate to this  ::)

:internet.

:having a roof over my head.

Yeah, our walls are six inches thick, not counting the brick exterior. We've also got those nifty double paned windows. :) It helps the old budget quite a bit. Our last gas and electricity bill combined was less than $55.

The only sucky thing is that it keeps heat in TOO well, especially during the summer. :P

that's a low bill. They made those places well. We got new DP windows and I've noticed there's a big difference in keeping the heat which is good for our bill. I do need to get new door jam seals becasue I feel cold in from our garage door  >:( 

Mad! Grawr!





Don't be mad....its different..ya know. ;)

...the warm sunshine today
...being able to play softball for so many years

the student employee who heard me whining about not having yams. so she went to the store (after getting off duty) bought a can of yams & marshmallows and made yams just for me!  And brought them back to the station!  ;D

I'm thankful for me being who I am.

Yeah. But I made it happen, so I am just tooting my horn here.

Goddamn, I'm really not this egotistical, believe me. XD

computers
puking :D

...Rock & Roll music

Yeah, I was actually there in person..  ::)



so I guess I'm not allowed to have really close friends that happen to have lots in common with me? I've been there for you in person too...but you still have other really close best friends too...like Natalie, Justin...and Doms.


Don't you hate it when.......

you feel like NOTHING you EVER do is right, in most people's eyes. :\'(

I've felt that way lots of times, where something is always too far to one extreme and there's no perfect midpoint. I've agonized over what the right thing to do is myself quite a bit, and it doesn't feel good. But hey, you'll always be right in my eyes and I'm thankful for you, hon.  :) :-*

Just like my favorite Paula song from 1991 says, "All I want from you is what you are, and even if you're right next to me it's still too far away."

I don't know...existing!

Yay for existing!  :)

...no crowds while Christmas shopping today

I'm thankful for the energy to really sort out my apartment over the last couplel days.  Woot, it's getting there.

I'm thankful that my husband has started helping me sort thru books.

I'm thankful payday is only a couple days away

Can I borrow some of that energy? My mother just told me she's coming next week...I don't think 7 days is enough time to clean out my apt!

Woo hoo payday is Friday- now that is something to be thankful for

...the board mascot or theme being Penguins
...being an Opus
...an electric blanket

.....my bed, which I am going to be vacating to very soon.

Snozberries I think we were separated at birth.  7 days is would not be enough to clean my apartment.  On youtube  I saw a segment about a quick clean up if you are expecting company...remove items, ...something else and then hide the rest. I of course always skip ahead to the hiding part. I have one room that I stash everything in and you cannot open it under any circumstances !!!!

unfortunately my apt is very small. my living room and kitchen are one room... its not even a kitchen its a kitchenette...my bathroom sink is bigger than my kitchen sink!  ;D

then there's my bedroom not a whole lotta room to hide stuff... I only have two closets one for clothes and the other doubles as a food pantry and storage...it is full!!! I gotta get my stuff up on ebay- so I can sell it and get it out!
