    ^^^ btw, nobody needs to remind me how terrrible the Gators are this year, or the loss to Georgia Southern lol. All it will take is one good hit on the Rapeist to turn the season to a win.

    On a serious note, I'm thankful for a lot of things. One of which is this great message board mostly full of welcoming strangers from a city I haven't been to in forever. This is still the only message board that I frequently post in, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I can honestly say that if the Rockets were to meet/beat the Heat in the finals, I wouldn't even be mad because I know how happy everyone on this board would be. Hope everyone has a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

    Well, to bring back a serious tone to the thread....

    I'm thankful for my little girl being born this year, who will be 6 months old in a few days. We thought we would never be able to have kids (the full emo story here), so this year there is certainly something to be thankful for. I was telling my wife last night that I usually don't give much thought to Thanksgiving, but this year it has some real meaning.

    Anyways, have a good holiday people.

    Congrats... We just welcomed our second little one two months ago, so I'd say I'm especially thankful for family this year.

    Just somehow slammed on my breaks and avoided (about 20 minutes ago) what was probably a drunk driver running a red light on a 4-way light while mine was green, and t-boning me. Not really sure why my eyes were even pointed enough in that direction to see him peripherally.

    So, I'm thankful for that, for starters.

    Yeah, this. Specifically my dad. The last year has been rough for him.

    November 2012 - Diagnosed with stage 3 large cell lymphoma

    • 75 overnight hospital stays
    • 6 rounds of chemotherapy, consisting of over 700 hours of infusion
    • 19 radiation treatments
    • 20 emergency room visits, most by ambulance
    • innumerable setbacks and complications
    November 2013 - Remission

    This coming year should be much better.

    The Rockets (and the Dynamo too, I suppose) for being the only beacons of hope in an otherwise abysmal sports year in this city.

    I'm thankful my company finally took me out of training. I was setting all kinds of records.

    Thankful for this forum. Not just an avenue for basketball but every aspect of life. Cool to get a perspective from people I don't know. This is my 6th year.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you all! God Bless!

    I'm thankful for the Native Americans not letting us starve when we arrived here and for not resisting to much while we murdered and enslaved them!

    I am thankful for friends, my sister and for being able to provide for myself. Also, that I am relatively healthy and able bodied.

    Btw. I was serious in my post.

    Also I'm thankful I'm not a Lakers fan
    I'm also thankful I don't live in Australia, because the poor blokes can't have a Barbie today. Because they missed the boat on celebrating thanksgiving
