Thanks, mox.

I'll do the same and say happy T-day to all. I'd also like all of us to reflect on the fact that even though we're going through these "bad times" let's not forget how good we've really got it. We still have a WHOLE LOT to be thankful for.

Now, let's eat!

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"
