Thanksgiving Night Cafe

The hammer-headed fruitbat, known by some
(mostly me) as "the Turkey of the Night"

Just a gal riding her horse like she's late to Pellanor Fields.

CAUTION! SEXUAL CONTENT WARNING! A male hedgehog tries to stick it to a female hedgehog, and that's not easy, on account of all the sticky bits. She's not making it easy for him. Her quills are all up. I know how that story goes.

A warm welcome from a cute cat.

A lynx's cub is caught in a trap, so she asks a human to help. Good thing she didn't ask the trapper.

31 I've never thought koalas were all that cute. They look fussy and finicky -- which you might expect from an animal who can eat only one thing.

Remember the Qantas TV ads with the koala complaining that the airline's fares were so low, more humans were flooding Australia? "I hate Qantas!"

One rainy spring day, when older bro & I were very little, we were in the car with Mom and Dad-- going to Grandma's out in the country, I suppose.

Anyway, clouds parted and there was a fine rainbow over the fields and we could see where it touched the ground! "Oh, wow! Daddy, let's go get the pot o' gold!"

Off we went, on our Quest For Gold. Dad turned down the muddy roads, this way and that, chasing the rainbow's end. Mom was excited, too, telling us how she would trick the leprechaun into looking away while we grabbed his big pot of gold.

Miss you, Mom. Miss you, Dad. Thanks for being my parents!

The far-left Nation magazine used the Thanksgiving holiday to recast the Pilgrims and Puritans as “radical Protestant doomsday groups” whose “cultish” ideology, it argues, “became the foundation of American culture,” urging Americans to treat the day as “as good a time as any to begin coming to terms with the country’s radical cultish origins.”

85 The "Elaan of Troyius" episode is on Trek on Heroes & Icons. A good space battle story as well as the fireworks between Kirk and Elaan (France Nuyen).

Trivia I haven't bothered to check: The interracial kiss between William Shatner and Nichelle Nichols might have been the first on network TV *between black and white.* But there had been an earlier one, with an Asian woman and a white man -- and I believe it was France Nuyen and Robert Culp (whom she later married) a year or two before the Trek scene, on I Spy.

92 "In the year 1621, the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving feast. They invited the great Indian chief Massasoit, who brought ninety of his brave Indians and a great abundance of food. Governor William Bradford and Captain Miles Standish were honored guests. Elder William Brewster, who was a minister, said a prayer that went something like this: 'We thank God for our homes and our food and our safety in a new land. We thank God for the opportunity to create a new world for freedom and justice."" - Linus

116 Okay, I looked it up. There was a kiss between an Asian woman and white man in a scene from the then-current Broadway play The World of Suzie Wong, shown on Ed Sullivan way back in 1958.

203 Joe Kidd, I saw your post on last weeks prayer thread about the teen Jasmine, and I wanted to tell you about a therapy that is very effective for people who have experienced severe trauma.
It is called EMDR, and it is used with traditional talk therapy.
The therapists are specially trained, and you have to know to look or ask if they are certified in EMDR.
It is an amazing thing and is very effective.
There is a book about it -- "The Body Keeps the Score" that explains the therapy.
It really is life-changing, as I can attest personally.

204 171 3 versions of I am Legend on film, and none of them had the nerve to go with Matheson’s original ending. Which is when the protagonist realizes that the virus has caused humanity to shift into a new version, but it’s not necessarily evil. And now HE is the Legend, He is the monster that stalks Humanity, the terror who the rest of humanity is now terrified of.

That is very thoughtful, thank you.

I'll pass along your suggestion and keep the prayer thread updated with any news.

Thanks again and God bless!

They just don't get it, do they? The original Mustang was a very affordable car, around the $3000 mark, IIRC. You could be stylin' for about the same money as driving a plain-Jane four-door sedan. They built and sold six-cylinder Mustangs, too.

I suppose Ford would not license them the rights to the name, if they made it more affordable than their current Mustang offerings.

There are app 14 million green card holders in the USA according to USCIS.
Each green card is 10 years and then renewed, etc.
The last time I went to renew mine the cost was $475.
That hardly covers the cost of the biometrics, photo, staffing, etc.
imo, There is no way the gov can monitor/account for even the legal residents that don't bother to renew, let alone visitors, visa overstays, illegals.

I suggested earlier: offer a bounty, in the form of a green card, to muslims who rat out jihadis in their midst. With the understanding, that if they in turn, get credibly exposed as jihadi themselves, the green card goes away, and their passage to Shitcanistan is booked.
