This Is What Happens To Your Body... the day after The Thanksgiving meal. The body performs a really fascinating self-cleaning process...and here you thought you were just sitting on your comfy couch all day. Heres a few of my favorite quotes/jokes/poems related or slightly unrelated to the 4th Thursday in the month of November: 1) Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence. ~Erma Bombeck 2) On Thanksgiving Day, all over America, families sit down to dinner at the same moment - halftime. ~Author Unknown 3) Thanksgiving is Americas national chow-down feast, the one occasion each year when gluttony becomes a patriotic duty. ~Michael Dresser 4) The thing Im most thankful for right now is elastic waistbands. ~Author Unknown 5) Ode to Thanksgiving To our national birds The American Eagle The Thanksgiving Turkey May one give us peace in all our states And the other a piece for all our plates 6) A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but couldnt find one big enough for her family. She asked the stock boy, Do these turkeys get any bigger? The stock boy answered, No maam, theyre dead. 7) Things for Which to be Thankful Trains, cars, airplanes, horses and buggies that allow us to travel great distances to share Thanksgiving with our loved ones. The spouse who complains when dinner is not on time, because s/he is home with me, not with someone else. The teenager who is complaining about doing dishes, because that means she is at home & not on the streets. The mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends. The taxes I pay because it means that Im employed. The clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat. My shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine. A lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home. All the complaining I hear about our government because it means we have freedom of speech. The space I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking. My huge heating bill because it means I am warm. The lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear. The piles of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear. Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive. The alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that Im alive. Getting too much email bogs me down but at least I know I have friends who are thinking of me.~Author Unknown
