THE HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEK AND WEEKEND THREAD
To all those who post here and to those who just peruse, have a happy happy holiday. Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful for what we as Americans have but more importantly, who we have to share our lives with. Please feel free to share anything today and over the weekend. Stories, what you are grateful for, anything that comes to mind. Of course no topic is off limits
These quotes were posted on the Huffington Post Blog this morning so I stold a couple of them from there. With that I found a couple that seemed to hit home more than others.
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." -John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"Thanksgiving was never meant to be shut up in a single day." -Robert Caspar Lintner
"The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving." -H.U. Westermayer

NOVEMBER 24, 2009 DAILY THOUGHTS THREAD
So each post for the day will start out with a quote or saying. I thought with Thanksgiving upon us, a quote from the wonderful Erma Bombeck would be appropriate.
"What we're really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?" - Erma Bombeck

Anyday day, another pound. Yeh I lost 5 more pounds. 10 to go.
NATALIA MEMORY CARD
I am posting this for my friend Diana Compelli. She is a member of Natalia's fan club and recently received a packet with a ton of pictures and a letter from Natalia thanking her for her support.
Anyway, she wants to send Natalia something, a memory card, in lieu of her departure from GH and she is asking for contributions. She'd like the card to include thoughts and/or experiences you may have had with Natalia. Anything really to convey your thoughts and/or appreciation to her.
So please post your thoughts here and Diana is going to take the information posted here and from other sources and include it in a memory card/booklet for Natalia. Once completed, she is going to post the memory card online prior to sending it out.
Apparently she has some software available to do this And I hope some of the folks who have not visited here or don't feel ready to post yet do so for this effort.
Note: SHe sent me the first few pages of what she's done to this point below

NOVEMBER 9, 2009 DAILY THOUGHTS THREAD
Post it ladies.
And a reminder. The folks at NLB want to get a recording for Natty for an xmas/going away gift of sorts. Please if you have a couple of spare minutes on your cell, call and leave a message. It's actually very very easy
When recording your message, please start off "Hi Natalia, this is {your name} from {city, state}" you can then continue with your message. I would prefer you start the message this way so Natalia knows who the message is from. You do not have to use your first and last name if you do not want to.
Recording your message:
- If you are recording the message and emailing it please make it in either mp3, wav or wma format and email it to natalialivingstonfans@gmail.com
- If you are unable to record your own audio, I have set up a SayNow account for you to call and leave a message. Call 347-767-3886, and record your message.

WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS IS MORE UMEMPLOYED POLITICIANS!
Bill Cosby has done it again...
Nothing we haven't all said.. but not so eloquently.
BACK TO CASH AND CARRY WOULD HELP ALSO!
Bill Cosby has a great way of "distilling" things. Looks like he's done it again!
AMERICA NEEDS A CANDIDATE WITH THIS PLATFORM!!
I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN THE YEAR 2012..
HERE IS MY PLATFORM:
(1). Any use of the phrase: 'Press 1 for English' is immediately banned. English is the official language; speak it or wait outside of our borders until you can.
(2). We will immediately go into a two year isolationist attitude in order to straighten out the greedy big business posture in this country. America will allow NO imports, and we'll do no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart 's policy, 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.' We'll make it here and sell it here!
(3). When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it coming in here.
(4). All retired military personnel will be required to man one of the many observation towers located on the southern border of the United States (six month tour). They will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.
(5). Social Security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin in, you ain't gettin nuttin out. Neither the President nor any other politician will be able to touch it.
(6). Welfare. -- Checks will be handed out on Fridays, at the end of the 40 hour school week, the successful completion of a urinalysis test for drugs, and passing grades.
(7). Professional Athletes -- Steroids? The FIRST time you check positive you're banned from sports .... for life.
(8). Crime -- We will adopt the Turkish method, i.e., the first time you steal, you lose your right hand. There is no more 'life sentences'. If convicted of murder, you will be put to death by the same method you chose for the victim you killed: gun, knife, strangulation, etc.
(9). One export of ours will be allowed: wheat; because the world needs to eat. However, a bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.
(10). All foreign aid, using American taxpayer money, will immediately cease and the saved money will help to pay off the national debt and, ultimately, lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask The American People if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and each citizen can make the decision as to whether, or not, it's a worthy cause.
(11). The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and every day in Congress.
(12). The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Sincerely, Bill Cosby
Please forward this to everyone you know, no matter which side of the fence they're on.

H1N1 Spreading Faster Than Vaccine, CDC Says
The H1N1 flu vaccine is becoming more available, but it is still being outpaced by the virus itself, the head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.
“Essentially what we’re seeing is that the virus continues to be spreading across the country and we are seeing a steady increase in the availability of the vaccine, but not as quickly as we’d like it to be,” CDC Director Thomas Frieden said during an afternoon press briefing.
The government has received 31.8 million doses of H1N1 vaccine and expects to receive several million more by the end of the week, Frieden said.
Pennsylvania last week had to discard 6,000 doses of H1N1 vaccine because it was not properly refrigerated. With the U.S. already facing a shortage, Frieden said every dose is important, but that relatively few mishaps have occurred since the vaccine became available.

MEMORY BOOK FOR NATALIA
This is being coordinated by NLB. Very sweet idea for Natty. There were some lovely pics and stuff posted at The Parapet before it shut down with Natty at SSW and stories of memories of 2007 when Emily's death was shown.
Please send your submissions for Natalia's Memory Box to:
natalialivingstonfans@gmail.com with "Memory Box" in the subject line. You can be as creative as you like. Images to go along with letters/stories would be a really nice touch for the box. I think it would mean a lot to Natalia to have something to remember those of you she has met in person, and all of you who have supported her in some way during her time on the show.
It would be great to fill this box full of fond memories and fun stuff, so we hope many of you will submit something. If you have never met Natalia, maybe you have a favorite moment from her time at GH, or you would simply like to send her some good wishes as she prepares to depart the show.
If you have any questions. EMail us at natalialivingstonfans@gmail.com

FOOTBALL THIS WEEKEND
My thoughts
College first. I am tired of Florida, USC, OU, and Penn State winning(I do have a soft spot for Penn State). But I am beyond thrilled Illinois(my alma mater) beat Michigan and my Cinderella team, Iowa, just keeps on winning.
Next week I need Florida to please lose a gan and please please please let Penn State kick Ohio State's ass.
Professional. Well my bears won - yeah it was only the Cleveland Browns, but after last weeks disaster they needed a big pick me up.
On a low note, why oh why. I hate that a Brett Favre Minnesota beat the Packers. I really need Favre to crash and burn.

GIRL CRUSHES
We all have a girl crush or two right? You know, a chick you admire to the point of total adoration. It’s not romantic—you just want to invite her over to swap clothes and chat about important things like how to fix both the economy and your love life. I hope some don't find this skeevy or sick but lets all share our girl crushes. Who and why.
This is a really cool article about Girl Crushes(no they are not sexual) from the NY Times Mag
