I second that. 

As a non-American I obviously don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but in honour of the occasion I did the Thanksgiving quiz on the BBC website (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11834508).  I scored a Big Fat Zero in the hard version but a whopping seven points in the easy version.  WooHoo!

Hope you're all pleasantly stuffed!

I also would like to wish all the IHD family a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.  Also, I'd like to say that I'm thankful for the IHD staff who keep this site (and my sanity at times) up and running.

Hope everyone had a nice thanksgiving. I stopped at a truckstop in Battle Creek Michigan and had half of a ribeye steak. I forgot to save the reciept so my company wont reimburse me for it. I usually don't eat out, I usually eat in the truck. It was a treat but I had not exoected to pay for it. Oh well. Today I'm parked behind KMart in Clio MI waiting to unload tomorrow morning.

Clio Mich is only 30 mins from me. I would have brought you some turkey!
