Happy Thanksgiving everybody. In spite of whatever hardships you may be experiencing, don't forget to take a few minutes to count the many blessings. There is so much to give thanks for, including good friends here on FT.
Don't forget to wave at the Bullwinkle balloon in the parade! I love the Bullwinkle balloon....

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift.
The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.
Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.
John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft
music and anything else he could think of to "clean up" the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot.
The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.
John, in desperation threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer.
For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed.
Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
John fearing that he'd hurt the parrot he quickly open the freezer door to see.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions.
I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued...
May I ask what the turkey did?"
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Charlie, you owe me a new keyboard....:big_smile:
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
Today, I am thankful for the good things in my life.
And of course, for the creation of q-tips, which I will be using now to try and get the rest of the coffee out from between the keys of my keyboard.
