I hope both you and Neo are feeling better now and can enjoy the rest of your thanksgiving holiday. I have to say I am like Neo, I would need the toys for a trip, in fact I also need my laptop, sirius radio and camera.

A loss does have a perment effect upon you. Coming at THE big
holiday for family memories it will forever feel strange. Now make
some new memories.
Well it is true about the difference between men and boys: Size of
their feet and the price of their toys. And go review the ol'
George Carlin bit on "My stuff, Your shit" and it'll make sense.

I don't think it matters what the surroundings are or what's on the menu, as long as you're with the one you want to be with. I hope you're both feeling better.

My trip to North Carolina is around the corner. Since I won't be seeing my family again until some time after the holideays, I'm going shopping for gifts later today. My daughter and son in law are well aware of my financial situation. They don't want me to buy them anything. I do want to get a few things for my grandchildren though. Mae-Ann is going to come to the store with me and help me pick out a couple of things..

I love your attitude. I agree that the love you and your husband have for each other trumps the negative things that may be going on, such as financial issues. I don't know how I would survive without the love from my family and Mae-Ann.

Speaking of my upcoming visit to NC. Did you happen to check out the handful of pics I posted of my daughters and grandkids. They are the things I'm most proud of and would be honored if you had a chance to see them.


Lots of hugs to you and Neo too.

My week taught me not to put things off, you may never get another chance! My worst Thanksgiving memory was blowing off my sis and bro in law and now never seeing him alive again! Hope you feel better,and maybe next year try pizza!

Hope you guys are feeling better. I wouldn't worry about spending too much money this year. I think everyone knows that times are tough all around.
Good luck!
