What Are You Thankful For? - Page 2

I'll bite. I'm thankful for a wonderful woman who could have easily left when earlier when a whole mess of problems in our relationship were shouting 'Get out now!' to her. I'm thankful she's still here and doubly thankful that we've come to a better place.

I'm thankful for my job, my health. I'm thankful that I'm able to do what I love, like watch movies, play games and write DVD reviews for this site (whoo!).

I'm thankful I'm going to be moving out of my place soon. Not because it's not a great place, but because I'll be moving onto the next step: the living with your girlfriend step.

I do have two things I am not thankful for:

CASH ONLY. Fuck you, you're owned by the mob. Don't bother trying to hide it.
CREDIT CARD MINIMUM. Fuck right off. I just want this 4 dollar sandwich, I don't want to go spending an additional five dollars on shit I don't want. Please stop.

But despite a thoroughly shitty year, I'm glad it happened. It made me better.

My dick.

Technically, that's against the policies that credit card companies have with merchants. They can get in trouble for that type of stuff.

I'm thankful my folks are still around and doing OK (will be REALLY thankful after my dad's pacemaker surgery tomorrow!).
I'm thankful for my going on two years old niece (she's the bomb!).
I'm thankful for my parents new cat, Buddy (filled a cat-shaped hole in their hearts this year).
I'm thankful for my wife (she scored a 4% raise retroactive to the beginning of the year! Attagirl!).
I'm thankful for all the time spent at the gym (gotta go more than I've been lately, but still...).
I'm thankful I'm still employed and didn't walk when things got chaotic (I came SO close this summer - the raise I got a month or so ago helped ease my pain).

And I'm thankful for you lot on the boards - can always count on you guys for laughs and getting my learn on (special thanks to Iggy, Lisa, Judas, Lima, Doc, Alex, Jcassady, and Chris, amongst others!).

Now, bring on the turkey already!

I am thankful for my daughter and wife.

I'm thankful for having this new job, and that it's so close to home.

I'm thankful for my girlfriend who is the best girl ever, and the only girl who actually understands me.

I'm thankful for having loving parents who haven't kicked me out.

I'm thankful for having cash to spend, as well as to save. Saving is the big thing right now.

I'm thankful for having my health and not getting sick as often as I used to.

I'm thankful for my face not being as paralyzed as it was a few months ago. I still don't have my wide grin back, but at least it's not numb anymore.

I'm thankful for my amazing girlfriend of 9 months who came into my life back in February and has made every minute since we met the best of my life.

Although not American;

I'm thankful for my wonderful wife who I have been married to for a year.
For a good job.
My health and the health of my loved ones.
This place.
My new house.

And coffee, I'm always thankful for coffee.

Awww, I'm thankful for you guys too, Tim. And good luck on your dad's pacemaker surgery! My dad had it too, and it's a piece of cake, don't worry!

My list of thank o'tude:

1. Top of the list - that at ages (almost) 79 and 82, my folks are still around. I'm grateful for every day I have them.
2. That my family is all around healthy.
3. My incredibly sweet and awesome boyfriend. It'll be a year and a half next month, and really - the fact that most people out there our age are already married, the odds of us stumbling across each other via internet for the low, low price of $80 is proof that Match.com does indeed work. But enough shilling! He's kind, thoughtful, smart, considerate, funny - and the fact that he's cute as hell is just icing on the cake. I'm grateful every day that I met him.
4. VERY grateful to still be employed! We lost seven people just this past Monday actually, and about 30 overall since the economic crash. I'm very glad to still be pulling a paycheck.
5. However, despite #4, I'm very grateful for the classes I'll be taking in January (and the Chewers who helped me find them!) that will enable me to hopefully do more with my life.
6. My Kitten-head baby! 14 years old, and still spry enough to chase around a stuffed mouse toy at 4:30 AM...
7. Wonderful friends. I'd be lost without 'em!
8. These boards, and the incredible bunch of you who post there-in. You didn't have to welcome me back after I was thoughtless enough to boogie outta here without even so much as a goodbye. But you did - and I'm very grateful for that. Thank you.

TURRRKEEEY!!!!

Bumping to wish all the Chewers and Chewer famiglia a safe, happy and peaceful Thanksgiving. Enjoy yourselves, count your blessings, and I'll see you after the holiday!

Thankful that I did my Thanksgiving last month


Actually I'm thankful for Chud and all of the people here. This is the longest running message board that I have been a part of (an IRC channel I've been in is the only other internet area still running for me) and you all have helped me become the Cinemafile that I am today (much to the chagrin of the lesser mortals I call friends and who call me nerd)

Happy Thanksgiving to all you Chewers out there! Hope it's a good one for you and yours.

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Chewers! Best wishes to you and yours, and Godspeed to anyone brave enough to go shopping on Black Friday!

Ditto. Hope it's FILLING as well.

Off to peel potatoes. I got KP duty.

I can see.
I can hear.
I can walk.
I have a job.
I have a home.
I have a car.
Guillermo Del Toro is directing The Hobbit.

After all these years and this one in particular, after all I've slouched, cowered, feared, lied, wasted, punked about, lazied around, pussied away, been a selfish prick and lost so many opportunities in life, I'm thankful for me still being compared to my grandpa...

...Who passed away exactly one week from today.

That's the only thing I can think of right now. But all you guys, whether you celebrate it or not, Happy Thanksgiving and have truckloads of fun.

A special thanks to everyone who's working today, whether it's selling movie tickets or serving overseas.

I'm thankful I have a new job.

I'm thankful that said new job is not one of the ones I've had that turn into Helm's fucking Deep on Black Friday.

I'm thankful for the roof over my head.

I'm thankful for the NEW roof over my head I'll have in January.

I'm thankful for 4 of the craziest fucking cats that ever walked this Earth allowing me to snorgle the hell out of them on a regular basis.

I'm thankful for the bad ass professional Navy SEAL team I call an immune system, ensuring that no virus puts me out of commission more than 24 hours.

I'm thankful to be married to one of the most understanding, permissive, intelligent, big-hearted people I've ever known. No matter how frustrated we get with each other, I am thankful it is never a difficult task remembering why I married that girl.

I am thankful for my mother, for hitting the stride of her life at 60. Gives me fucking hope.

I am thankful to my father for hanging in there and not dying until I send the letter I've been writing in my head the last 2 years.

I am thankful to my extended family, for dealing with my brand of nerd-crazy better than most.

I am thankful for my 360, for having the good taste to not Red Ring on me, knock wood.

I am thankful for my PS3, for putting up with SO MUCH verbal abuse, and not crashing when I put in the Wall*E Blu Ray like everyone told me it would.

I am thankful for my friends, even though scattered so far away, for being.

I am thankful for this site, for reminding me constantly that I am not alone.

I'm thankful for:
- Life being rad, despite a few recent speedbumps.
- The chance to finally go back to school next year, and this time with actual goals and an end result in mind.
- Having amazing friends who put up with my crap on a fairly consistent basis.
- Having a pretty great place, money in dat bank, and food in my stomach.
- Being sexy like Fabio.
- Women.
- Being humble.

I'm thankful for:

- My family & friends
- The greatest dog in the world, who turned 4 today
- Movies. All of them. Even the terrible ones.
- Having a good, stable job while others struggle
- Recent good financial news that has made a rough year more bearable

Happy Dogday, sir!

Lots to be thankful for this year:

• Two amazingly intelligent and beautiful daughters
• A solid job at a fantastic company, after having been laid off twice in two years
• A new relationship that holds a lot of potential
• Overall great health
• Some really amazing friends, both real life and online
• Sight and hearing
• My iPod (seriously - it's made a number of mind-numbing chores a lot more bearable)
• Being even a small part of the CHUD community (again, seriously - I've learned more about film and stolen more jokes from here than I can possibly relate)

I am thankful for my own good health, my family's good health, food, a source of clean drinking water, the roof over my head and a planet that is not too close or far away from our sun to prevent life from having evolved


Hope next year is even better

EDIT: Also thankful for CHUD, of course! I'd hope that goes without saying

Add "and son" to this.

My nephew, my niece, my girl, my dogs - and the fact I'm about to go on my first proper holiday in over a decade.

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow chewers!

This year I'm thankful for:

- My wonderful family. My 6 sisters, my mother, my stepfather and the legion of children I call my nieces and nephews. They're truly the greatest.
- My education. Seriously, the chance to study what I love so intensely is a major blessing in my life.
- A fantastic and supportive and loving girlfriend. I don't deserve anyone so lovely.
- My home, my food, the basic things of life I am lucky enough to have.
- The joy of cooking. There is very little I love more than cooking and eating my own food. Thanksgiving is always such a wonderful holiday just for that.

So happy Thanksgiving to you all! I leave you with this:

I'm thankfull for having a roof over my head, a job and my health. Which given the year I've had was far from certain.

Also i'm thankfull for this place because it's always brightens up my day when i really needed.

The shadow they found in my mother's mammogram not being a tumor.

Whew. You never know you've been holding your breath until you actually breathe again.

Got married this year to my beautiful wife.
