Years ago, when I was working in the Bahamas as a nanny, one of my friends said to her employer, of course we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in England, her employer's reply was, well of course the British haven't anything to be thankful about!! She and I still laugh about it even though it's nearly 40 years ago!! Of course we have lots of things to be thankful for, as do our friends in America - enjoy the celebration.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2001 Report Share Posted November 23, 2001 Pam, You are not a thickie!LOL That is a good one. Not everyone knows what us silly American's do that is for sure. It is just like our languages they are a lot a like but our words have different meanings. Tell Bev I am sending good thoughts and prayers that her leg will heal soon. Can't have her not being able to hit you with her cane now can we!LOL Hope you have a great day on Monday when you take her shopping. Please tell us all about it! You two have so much fun together! I think it would be fun to go with you that is for sure! Lots of Love Glenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
