Happy Thanksgiving, all, and please consider voting in the
epic poll above.
This will be the third year in a row that I will have three guests over to enjoy our family's Thanksgiving dinner (not all three at the same time): Charley, a Korean Vet in his late 70's; Mickey, early 50's and a product of closely related parents; Dennis, mid 50's, the every-town-has-one character, known for signalling planes with a flashlight as they pass overhead, using a secret code that only he and the pilots can decipher.
Later in the day, I will be visiting a home that houses four autistic young adults, along with their handlers, and sit next to my friend, Larry, an Afro-American who doesn't speak much and is very selective of who he befriends. I was thinking about passing a pic of LadyBytes to him, but that would be wrong on so many levels, one of which the other girls would get jealous, and the last thing we need here is a Bitcoin cat fight.
The state of Illinois has drastically cut funding for projects like these, but prior to them doing such, I have donated Walmart gift certificates to five houses here in Sandwich for the sole purpose of those households to have a full traditional meal. The women who watch over the men love and hate my gesture at the same time, for they have to prepare two meals yesterday/today. Two years ago, the hate aspect was brought to my attention, therefore I apologized. I was assured that even though it's an extra burden on them, they love doing it, thanking me for my generosity, but still hating me once a year (with a wink).
I wrote the above as not to brag or wanting a pat on the back. I wrote it thinking that I may see one less ignore in my tally. Seriously, two less is the goal.
Really seriously, I'm over that episode.
Enjoy your meal and the gathering with your family and friends. Those not in the US and don't celebrate, follow me over to MFC to see which girls are donning turkey outfits. Apologies out to my Furry friends, for you'll have to wait to Easter to truly enjoy the show(s).

PS: I'm also
not looking for donations. I have this town covered.
