Giving Thanks ...written Nov 27, 08:45 PM by Jeff

(Kate recommended I cross-post this here):

Today I am thankful. Thank you. I really mean that: thank you1.

Remember, tomorrow is Buy Nothing Day. Participate by not participating2!



NOTES

1 If you’re wondering if I mean you, and not just some empty blanket statement, know that it especially means you if your name is Kate, Brad, Kathleen, Mary, Ted, Jack, Elizabeth, Henry, William, Peter, Amy, Karen, Melinda, Kerry, Christian, LeiMomi, Doug, Dan, Dave, Ben, Julie, Kris, Kristen, Tadd, Ellen, Lauren, Charles, Isaac, Claire, Jacob, Abbie, Zoe, Kara, Aaron, Erin, Truman, Beatrice, Madeline, Ian, Chris, Jennie, Kim, Brenda, Rick, John, Richard, Anne-Marie, Emily, Joe, Oliver, Isabelle, Lilly, Gwen, Billy, Greg, August, Tara, Alan, Lisa, Ryan, Luke, Bruce, Andy, Robert, Jen, Vic, Shari, Steve, Harley, Olivia, Jay, Zach, Kelli, Bre, Greg, Joanne, Eric, Michael, Gus, Sam, Thom, Jeness, Tony, Melanie, Nathan, Justine, Don, Eddie, Anne, Neil, John, Jon, Denise, Rachael, Rachel, April, Raj, Snow, Bryce, Vera, Anna, Mindy, Nate, Cherie, Lizzie… crap, my brain is getting mixed up. Did I forget your name? It might be because Queen Elizabeth just came in with a bloody mouth and a missing tooth: it’s a Thanksgiving miracle! First the Great Turkey visits, then the Tooth Fairy!

2 Teams of wild horses could not force me to go shopping tomorrow. And, because it’s Buy Nothing Day, I even like to avoid shopping online. It feels good to subvert consumerism. Try it: you’ll like it.

  1. I went to Sea World today. I bought gas on the way. And I bought food there. And a Mt. Dew on the way home.
    But I don’t have any credit cards. Except for one that is cut in half so I can only buy things online.
    Does that mean I screwed up Buy Nothing Day?
    You should have given us some advance warning.
