female prog

2004-11-25 by jonesalley

(NOTE: TONGUE-IN-CHEEK ALERT! THIS IS NOT INTENDED AS AN INSULT! Cripes, I never thought I'd have to be so politically correct on this list...)

Does Jethro Tull count now that David Palmer is Dee?

And, actually, it seems to me one of the great unknown female proggers is our own delightful Mellotrongirl! Thanks "'tronchick!" I think it's safe to say we all love you! DO you have any proggy little sisters?

And for the non-Americans and fellow non-religious people on the list, for many years, I have simply thought of Thanksgiving as "Appreciation Day." It's always good to stop and realize how much good fortune one has, and I seems to me that most of us on the list are probably quit fortunate compared to the majority of humans on this planet.

Thanks, guys. I treasure you all.

Only if he was still in 'em. :-)

The trouble with Thanksgiving is that it leaves those of us on the other side of the water utterly bemused. Or maybe it's just me. I'm now trying to think of something we celebrate that does the same in reverse. Various bank holidays whose origins are lost in the mists of time? Hogmanay (north of the border)? Mystifies us southerners, so God knows what Americans make of it. :-)

The Thanksgiving holiday was supposed to be celebrated originally in October (as Canadians do). During the Great Depression it was decided that it should be celebrated in November to get people to spend money to stimulate the economy between Halloween and Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving

Perhaps a few lucky individuals can make a tron out of their mashed potatoes! Shades of Close Encounters of the Third Kind :)

From a speech given by Abraham Lincoln October 3, 1863:

"....I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November as a day of Thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens."

it's only because we had to listen to all your early posts,
before you became a more talented and interesting post-writer.
