OT-Turkey & all the fixings!

[FearlessFreep]

Yes, except for the fact that I don't know how...

Well, then...maybe I will :)

I get the double Thanksgiving whammy every year.  We go to my aunt's house on Thanksgiving.  Then, on the following Sunday, my mother cooks ANOTHER Thanksgiving dinner for just my parents, me, my sisters, and our families.  Tons of turkey fun!

Okay - what is Thanksgiving?

I'm from over the ocean, you see.  No idea what you're talking about!

>>Okay - what is Thanksgiving?<<

The founding of plymouth plantation. The native americans were invited to dinner with the pilgrims (being seen as hethans and all) for the purpose of negotiating a treaty that would secure the lands of the Plymouth Plantation for the Pilgrims. Of course now it's been glorified that they were all holding hands and being as one, but it was just a generation later that whites were trying to exterminate every "savage" indian they could..mostly for land purposes. Isn't that nice?

Mostly we just sit and eat turkey all day, drink beer and watch football....

Well, all I know is that the world better come up with a better "idea" than the one that replaced the Native American way of life. So far it's been a rather sad story. The sacrifice of the American Indian and other cultures better be of some greater purpose to justify what has happened, than what I've seen so far...........Fortunately there is a greater purpose, but mankind hasn't seen the reason behind it, but they will.

I still can't figure out how to put anthing extra on my post. Like links, photos, or even bold print. I've made plenty of webpages, but haven't figured out how to use this messageboard.

Scott - add brackets +url=type url close with brackets, add title link and then re-add /url in brackets. So it looks like this:
http://typeurlhere.com> title

(in order to properly show you the order I had to replace the brackets with those >> things, so replace them with brackets) I haven't figured out how to post actual gifs, however. Bold would be the letter B in brackets, the word, followed by /B in brackets. Same with italics etc.

Btw I saw that rock in person! I kinda speculated that wasn't   the  
rock they actually landed on since there were alot of rocks on that beach. I figured it was more symbolic. My trip to Boston was quite memorable years ago..there were alot of historical sites to visit

Thanks for the html info I'll try it when I have more time.

It's my understanding that the rock the park was identified much latter than the landing and only because it was the only prominent rock in the beach are. They were going to build over it, but they thought the rock had some importance. I forget the dates, but at the sight the park people tell you everything they know about the rock.
