I'm sitting here thinking about Thanksgiving and my earliest memories but I can't remember any prior to high school, that is strange, never thought about it before. But those thanksgivings were great, I too woke up to mom simmering celery, onions and what have you for the stuffing. But going to our football game was the best. I still have old 8mm movies of one of the turkey day games and I'm sitting in the bleachers blowing a trumpet........oh myyyy. Now since being married I have had the honors of cooking. I guess mom felt ok I did my part it's your turn LOL...... It was great, giving the kids their little chores, you could tell by their faces that they knew it was a special day. Grandma, pop pop, my aunts and uncles and all, the more the merrier. Now that 4 are out of the house and have their own homes and families I have taken a note from my mom and passed it down so with 4 of them they take turns with the holidays. 2 more at home to go and I'll never cook another holiday dinner again LOL. Only kidding, dear ole mom here is still expected over early to get the bird in the oven, make the gravy, stuffing and potatoes. Last year I got them good, I whipped myself up a few martini's and needless to say they did all the work. Sitting down to eat we had a turkey cooked rare and no gravy.......but we got it all straight and dinner turned out to be a success or so I think. My kids say different........I keep hearing, "not like last year please". HAPPY THANKSGIVING DEAR FRIENDS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ELLEN

I am suppose to go to my son's in Yardley,Pa for Thanksgiving dinner - one of my daughters is planning to be there also - Marie G

Our daughter, son, 3 grandchildren, Some times they all bring dates or a few friends and people are always dropping in. We all, watch the parade, eat dinner, put on football game and play games like monopoly, or canasta and just enjoy each others Company. There is always plenty of food to go around.

Thanksgiving as a teenager - the first call of business was to bundle up and go to the annual football game between Pleasantville and Ocean City - that was at 10AM. After the game, we would gather at my aunt's restuarant in Atlantic City, which she closed for the day. We would have upwards of 30-40 family members for the traditional feast. Even after I left the area, married and had kids, we always tried to be there. It was great fun. All of them are gone now, so the memories are great. Everyone have a wonderful, fun-filled Thanksgiving.

Lee, Haven't seen any snowballs up here either. But I did find some Black and Whites in the ShopRite. Haven't had them in awhile. I make spritz cookies for Christmas with crisco. But instead of using vanilla I use almond extract. It really makes a big difference. My dau is supposed to be coming here from her TN vacation. She will be travelling across PA on Wed just when a snowstorm is predicted. Sure hope they are wrong on the weather. I am babysitting her dog while she's gone. She and husband and my son, wife and kids will be here for Thanksgiving. What does everyone on the list do for Thanksgiving?

Where in New Jersey did this occur? Liz This morning I had to be up with the darned chickens in order to get to work on time. Usually I start around 10:00; today they needed me in at 6:00. That meant leaving the house at 5:30. I hate getting up that early in the morning, since I don't really wake up until ten no matter what time you get my body out of bed. But this morning it was worth it. No big meteor displays -- a few days too late for that! -- but what I did see was four of the five visible planets putting on a show. Saturn was headed toward the west, Jupiter was almost directly overhead, Venus was dominating the eastern sky, and Mars was faintly visible not far from Venus. Mars is headed around toward the sun and hence is nearly as far away from us as it gets. That explains why it's so faint. Anyhow, the only one missing was Mercury, which might be an "evening star" now. I'll have to check the Skywatcher's Diary once I get offline. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

I was up at 4 am................here in my area of Penna, there was nothing up there.........................lol ellen

I don't feel so bad now. I got 17 correct for an 85%. I think it is all those calculators and computers we use now. We lost some of our ability to put pencil to paper and figure out the answers. If I find a high school math test you can be sure I won't be taking that!

Doris, Back in the early '50's my cousins and I used to walk from the farm they lived on into Allamuchy. Everytime we walked down the road past these pine trees we would hear a rattling noise. We would go back and tell my aunt and uncle there must be a rattle snake down there under the pines. My uncle and some other men stopped down there and there was a snake, but it wasn't a rattler or poisonous. But it rattled its tail everytime we passed. Pat

Moccasins and > rattlers are both aggressive. Fortunately everywhere we've lived, including southern California, the rattlers haven't been aggressive. I've felt perfectly safe standing only three feet away from Pacific rattlers, which max out at 2 1/2 feet long and can't strike over half their length. Out here I've seen only one rattler in the wild that I can remember; that was last spring, and the thing was a young'un, I think, and not fussing with us at all. Back when we lived in Denville, one time we took a hike in the woods in Boonton with our two-year-old daughter in a backpack carrier. We were off the trail and suddenly heard a buzzing in the leaves. We hadn't heard of rattlers being around there -- only copperheads -- but we weren't taking any chances. We stopped dead in our tracks. All of a sudden little Susie started bouncing around in the carrier and yelling, "Nake! Nake!" (She had trouble with initial S's followed by another consonant.) We followed her finger to where she was pointing, and there was a nice long blacksnake, all curled up in the dry leaves and buzzing his tail around to make himself sound like a rattlesnake. I'd heard about them using that little subterfuge, but it was the first -- and only -- time I'd ever seen it.
