Turkey Fact 
The Thanksgiving presidential turkey pardon. It's a tradition, major newspapers have reported for years, that began in 1947 with President Harry S. Truman -- a sentimental reprieve from the man who had thumbs-upped two atomic bombs.
Thanksgiving Day Turkey Song: Come on all together...

O turkey dear O turkey dear
How lovely are thy feathers
O turkey dear O turkey dear
There could be nothing better!
We celebrate Thanksgiving Day
By putting your carcass on display.
O turkey dear O turkey dear
You thought we were friends who came to greet you.
O turkey dear O turkey dear
We gathered here to eat you!
O turkey day O turkey day
The family is all together
O turkey day O turkey day
We've over come bad weather
Seeing the family is so fab
We'll see ya'll again in rehab.
O turkey day O turkey day
We'll drink away your memory.

Some quotes
Thanksgiving is an emotional holiday. People travel thousands of miles to be with people they only see once a year. And then discover once a year is way too often.
Johnny Carson
I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land.
Jon Stewart 
"Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude."
-E.P. Powell
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
-John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice."
-Meister Eckhart
"The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!"
-Henry Ward Beecher

“Praise God even when you don’t understand what He is doing.”
[Henry Jacobsen]
"If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily."
[Gerald Good]
Do not get tired of doing what is good.
Don't get discouraged and give up,
For we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time.
- Galatians 6:9

The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.. The Grandfather replied, "Well, let me think a minute, I was born before : *   television, penicillin, polio, shots, frozen, foods, Xerox, contact, lenses, Frisbees and      the pill There were no: *   credit cards, laser beams or  ball-point pens Man had not invented: *  pantyhose *  air conditioners *  dishwashers *  clothes dryers the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and  man hadn't yet walked on the moon Your Grandmother and I got married first, .. ... ... and then lived toge...

Who is George Bernard Shaw? Genius or Mad Man?

George Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 – 2 November 1950) was an Irish playwright.  he wrote more than 60 plays. Nearly all his writings deal sternly with prevailing social problems, but have a vein of comedy to make their stark themes more palatable. Shaw examined education, marriage, religion, government, health care and class privilege.   Shaw wrote five unsuccessful novels at the start of his career between 1879 and 1883. Eventually all were published. Shaw was pro-Islam , Socialist-Marxist  and defended Hitler mass murder finally was the Nobel Prize Recipient in 1925. Some of his most famous quotes. A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.           George Bernard Shaw   A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
