    Thanksgiving games (and thanks)

    If there is one thing I dislike about social media, online networking, blogging, etc. it is the propensity for some folks in the online world,  (more than you think), to take up the role of the collective conscience for the rest of us.

    You know the type - they are always bugging you to hug your Mom, thank a Veteran, treasure your kids, make time for your friends, plant a tree, and spouting various other admonitions that seem more appropriate for an elementary school lecture than for an (alleged) adult discourse and exchange of ideas.

    If you are one of those people I mean no offense, but I am asking nicely for you to quit it already.

    It's Thanksgiving.

    We ALL know we are supposed to take some time to count our blessings, (which for most of us, thankfully, are many). We KNOW we are supposed to really connect or re-connect with our families and friends. We don't need any more reminders to do that from anyone on Facebook. In fact, shouldn't those people be connecting with their OWN families instead of taking the time to go online to tell the rest of us what we should be doing?

    Ok, I feel better. I apologize for being so crabby on a holiday, because really, I truly have a lot to be thankful for.

    And I do want to say thanks (not because someone told me I should),  for the folks that spend some time here reading the blog. I am incredibly appreciative that busy, smart, and accomplished folks like you elect to take a few minutes each day to read, comment, share, and hopefully, at least occasionally, get something positive out of your investment.

    I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving, and if you are a non-US reader, I hope you have a great Thursday.

    Wow - it stinks to be a non-US reader today, huh?

    But if you are celebrating today, you might find these Thanksgiving Bingo cards, posted up at Flavorwire, will add a little bit more fun to your celebration. I have posted one below, you can find the full set over at the Flavorwire site.

    Have a fantastic day!
