And yes, we DID make it; in spite of those who say we all should have died because we were STOOPID and doing it RONG…
Sigh…
And in other news…
It was pretty much that kind of day yesterday…
A: Diamondback and custom holster by Michael, Kathy Jackson Book—
HeathAs the other folks respond, I’ll get the rest of the names up. Again MANY, MANY thanks to those who’ve donated/participated. You’ve shown that our little corner of the Intarwebz truly does step up and help our friends in need.
Again sorry for the delay. And THANK YOU to all who’ve pitched in to help Tam. I was reminded by one of our international donors that we are doing the right thing for the right reasons…
He also sent this Bible verse, and while we cannot do this in total anonymity, he said we are following the ‘spirit’ of the verses… And I agree… The ONLY reason I’m out there on this is that I got elected chief cat-herder. Y’all that know me, KNOW this is not my normal mode of operation.
Matthew Ch-6 1-4 NIV
1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
THE END.
As a public service to our readers, and as a gesture towards civility in our national discourse, we offer the following how-to-guide for surviving Thanksgiving dinner at the home of your triumphant liberal relatives:
Arrival. “Your home looks lovely. Almost like it’s worth what you paid for it. Obama didn’t help with that yet, did he? Oh, well, maybe next term. May I use your bathroom?”
In the unlikely event that your host’s home has appreciated in value, use this introduction instead: “Love what you’ve done with it. Better dump it before the new year, though, or you might face that new Obamacare tax.” (Wait until after dinner to make a lowball offer.)
Greetings. “Oh, grandma, I’m so sorry about what Obama did to your Medicare. I tried to stop him.”
“Little Johnny, all grown up. Still looking for a job? Oh. There’s always grad school, you know. I hear Obama will pay your student loans.”
“Jane, you look amazing! I bet you’re the reason Obama promised free contraception.”
“Hey, kids, let’s watch some football. Whatever team Obama picked, that’s the one that’s going to lose. Ask Detroit.”
Grace. “I’m thankful that the war on women is finally over, and you accepted a racist like me back into your midst.”
“I’m thankful for Elizabeth Warren. Now that we have a Native American in the Senate, we can celebrate without feeling guilty anymore.”
“I’d like to take a moment to remember those four brave Americans who lost their lives because of an anti-Islamic video.”
“Blessed be Obama, from whom we enjoy this bountiful harvest.”
Meal. “No turkey for me, thanks. The poultry industry is a major contributor to global warming, and I can’t eat meat without thinking about how I caused Hurricane Sandy.”
“I’m not having cranberry sauce, either. So many of our cranberries today are imported from Poland, and they supported Mitt Romney, you know.”
“Have some more pumpkin pie, please. I promise not to tell Michelle Obama.”
“What, no more Twinkies this year?”
Departure. “I can’t believe it’s time to go already. Four hours and $600 million in national debt just flew by.”
“Gan en jie kuai le! That’s Happy Thanksgiving in Chinese. Might as well start learning.”
“Why don’t you come to our place next year. Seeing as how your taxes are going up in a few weeks, it’s only fair.”
“Sorry I parked you in. Oh, darn, I drove the Chevy Volt today. You wouldn’t have an extension cord, would you?”
Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who have to suffer through the holiday with liberal relatives ~ May I suggest a little Wild Turkey for the occasion?
Pretty good ones as far as I’m concerned… use as necessary! 🙂
Tickets are $25, same formula as the rest, just go put it in Tam’s tip jar, and send Jennifer the receipt
. It will now be item I.
