Default Have a Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving to All i-fishers!!!! :smile: We have a lot to be thankful for in this Nation of our. It is so easy to complain ( I do this a lot) about things but we really do have it pretty good. Matter of fact, darn good. I cannot imagine living anywhere else.

It's been a tough year for me economically. Yet I find that all that really matters is my family that I love so much. I am also thankful that my dad is still around. He's my main fishing partner and it would have been tough to loose him. :smile:

I am also thankful for i-fish and the wealth of information and activism it provides. Thank you Jennie for all your hard work. I and I am sure others are thankful for it. Great Job. [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

Since this needs to be fishing related to stay on this thread......I guess no one will be fishing on Friday so I can have the river to myself. Am I wrong? So what are ya doing this weekend to complement giving Thanks! :grin:

Happy Thanksgiving and safe travel to all. The best doughnuts are at the little bakery in Garibaldi, the apple fritters are excellent. I know, I'm a fat guy...

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over head and a place to
sleep...
you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace...
You are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...
You are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation... You are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death...
You are more blessed than three billion people in the world.
If your parents are still alive and still married...
You are very rare, even in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful...
You are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
If you can hold someone’s hand, hug them, or even touch them on the shoulder...
You are blessed because you can offer healing touch.
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore... You are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.
Have a good day, count your blessings, and pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

I also would like to wish all my ifish brothers and sisters and there families a very happy thanksgiving!!
Im thankful for this beautiful nation we live in. This is a very hard time of year for me as I no longer have my grandparents,which I was very close to, on both sides of my family so we no longer have family Thanksgiving dinner and get to see all the distant realitives. I also thank the good lord above to be able to have my 99 year old great grandmother still here and getting to enjoy yet another Thanksgiving.
Also would like to thank Bernie for starting this thread and wish you and your family a great holiday!
I also would like to thank Jennie for taking care of this wonderful website and wish her and her family a Happy Thanksgiving... [img]graemlins/hearton.gif[/img]

So I wish all of you and your family and love ones and very happy and safe Thanksgiving and make sure you eat alot of turkey!! [img]graemlins/hearton.gif[/img]

Oh and by the way I think I might just have to go out on the river on friday and see if I can catch me a nice fishy fish!!!! :smile: :grin:

'Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't sleep.

I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.

The leftovers beckoned - the dark meat and white,

But I fought the temptation with all my might.

Tossing and turning with anticipation,

The thought of a snack became infatuation.

So I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door

And gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore.

I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,

Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.

I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,

'Til all of a sudden, I rose off the ground.

I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky,

With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie.

But, I managed to yell as I soared past the trees......

Happy eating to all, pass the cranberries, please.



May your stuffing be tasty, your turkey be plump.

Your potatoes 'n gravy have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious, your pies take the prize.

May your Thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs.

Since it's a time to be Thankful, I want to thank first my parents for all their effort and direction in helping me become a better person. Thanks to all the Veterans that went off to wars, to make this the greatest place in the world to live> And thanks to God, for guiding me through this life of mine. Between God and my wife, there is hope for even me. THANKS for all my blessings, both big and small but most of all, for having the opportunity to share this great board with all of you. Ifish has become a great big neighborhood and I appreciate you letting me be part of it.

Thanks to each and every one and with that Happy Thanksgiving to all.
