Hello dudes. Thanksgiving is tomorrow, at least for the US (no duh). I know we have a thanksgiving travel and plans thread and a black friday thread, but hey, lets have a thread where we give thanks to whatever makes your life worth living nowadays. With the holidays approaching, and we start buying gifts and spending time with family and all, it seems like a good time for a happy thread of celebration. Hey we're all still chugging along, so give thanks for that.
I'm thankful for still having a job and for my family and friends. Special thanks for all the cool people in this place who make the work day go by faster. Hugs for you all!
I'm thankful for my wife who puts up with all my shit and still loves me.
My beautiful little girl who is just the right mix of daddy's little nerd and a pretty sweetheart.
My soon to be son. All indications are that he is a wild man and I can't wait to meet him.
My family. We've grown closer over the past couple years and I know hard years are coming.
My in-laws. They are always there for us when we need them.
You assholes. You guys help complete a side of me that would be lost without somebody to geek out and play video games with. I love y'all
I thank God everyday for all my blessing, but it probably isnt often enough.

I'm thankful that I still have a job, a wife who mysteriously puts up with my shit on a daily basis, a son who's as much a smartass as his old man, and that the internet brings me porn.

I am thankful for my new job, because it came at the exact right time. I was down to 0 in my savings and about $15 in my checking, with no idea how i was going to make december's rent. I got it through being the first to reply to a craigslist posting, and it's almost exactly what i want to be doing for a career. I'm not a very religious man, but if there is a god out there, he fuckin pulled some strings for me.
I'm thankful for my family.
For being sent to Kuwait, rather than Afghanistan, or Iraq.
For having my job.
For having this forum to keep me sane, while I'm away from the rest of the world.

Kuwait? You hit the fucking jackpot pal. Congrats on that.
There are times like last night when I feel sick and my sinuses are inflated like a zeppelin and I am just angry as hell at everything. Then I come into work doped up on dayquill in crazy get-away day traffic to work a long day because my boss has a tradition of doing a big update and re-org on the night before Thanksgiving before the network isn't getting heavy use. On top of that, my to-do list for the day has grown as people want to get last minute things done before they head off to wherever they are spending the holidays.
But I log onto my computer and find that my fiancee has sent me a ridiculously cute and retardedly late 90's e-Card wishing that I feel better, and I have the forums here to post in to help me get through the day.
So I give thanks for that. I give thanks for the fact that I'm not worried about having some big plans for tomorrow, because I'm just going to lay around and watch 30 Rock and football with the woman I love and probably do some programming because there are avenues in this day and age for a doofus like me to pursue the things he wants to all on his own if he feels so inclined.
I give thanks that my sister's new fling turned out to be the indecisive ass that we hoped he was, cutting short something that could have been very troublesome and awful for her if she went down the road she was aiming for.
I'm thankful that all the stupid decisions I've made throughout the years have managed to teach me things without completely ruining me and tearing my ass off, because hey, I got a pretty nice ass and I think it should stay around.
And I'm thankful for the friends I have here, even though I am an unrelenting jerk. This especially goes for the friends who send me pictures of themselves in lingerie.
I am thankful that my family and friends are healthy and happy and still employed, that I have a mostly supportive significant other and that I am lucky enough to be working at something I enjoy.
I am thankful for my job because it's awesome.
I'm thankful for the people I work with and who I've met working here.
I'm glad that I can post here during work and keep in touch with everyone.
I'm thankful that I have such awesome friends (and yeah, I guess that includes some of you fucks), and that I'll be getting together with at least some of my family tomorrow, and that I still manage to be pretty awesome at my age
this is not a complete list
oh, and I also talked to the building manager about the fridge so hopefully that will be rectified within a few days
Full Sail has been giving me a lot of cool books like The Art of Maya and such, and taking this Object Perspective class alongside my Model Creation class helps surprisingly.
Thanks Ireland for making Magner's cidre, it is good.
Thanks Tarn Adams for Dwarf Fortress.
Thanks good custard for making vanilla slices so tasty.
I'm also sorry to that seagull who wouldn't fuck off today I didn't think that thong would actually hit you when I threw it. But I know you didn't get hurt because you were still cool to accept my apology chip and fly away.

Are we talking about things we are thankful for, or things we have the ethical fiber to express thanks for
Because I have lots of nice things to be thankful for but I'm a hateful ingrate so I am not filled with gratitude
